Building or funding is nothing to with the council actually its a PFI building

No its not to pay for more Police it will in part put some money into policing but will not put anything near the budget cuts to the police from central govt in essence it will mean there will be slightly more police with the 2% levey but its not an increase it will still be less police officers in West Yorkshire.

Yeah. If only the UKIP had been a bit more electable I'm sure they would've provided the only realistic alternative.

True Bren.

Got my vote Wollo but to no avail

Looking the deficit the Countries running whats the alternative?

The Coalition and latterly the Tories, have totally failed to deliver on all of their deficit reduction targets; they now use austerity as a cloak to make ideological attacks on public services and the working classes, just as they've always done.

As for UKIP - I fail to see what a bunch of one-issue crackpots and racists would bring to the table.

Tbh all the parties are like my , have been for decades local and National. It was just that this time around the Tories for some was the best of a bad bunch.

Personally while ever Corbyn and McDonnell are the top boys in Labour you can count me out. The bloke's never got his head round the failure of his preferred policy mix in the 1970s, would be a disaster for the country if he ever got into power as well as a significant threat to investment and long-term business planning even in opposition.

Anyone who thinks nationalised industries, the government setting prices, triggering mass departures of businesses and the rich through punitive taxation and the familiar paraphernalia of a socialist command economy are "sensible" and are going to make anyone better-off, is crazy imo.

Anyway I personally hate talking politics at the best of time, even less on a Rugby forum.

Looks like Jeremy Hunt has succeeded in alienating a large number of employees which could lead to mass departures not of business but trained Doctors. Why don't people realise how busy the Tories are because they never appear to have anyone available to put their case when asked. All that work put in by Osbourne to improve his appearance is going to waste because if anyone is needed to defend one of his policies he generously sends one of his juniors now Alexander is no longer available.
I note you quote nationalisation as a failure therefore can you tell us how many of the utilities are still in the hands of UK business.

Well that would be re-nationalisation at this point, wouldn't it. Which was the point I was making, which is off the back of what Corbyn's said & his political beliefs and the crazy amount of money it would cost tax payers just to put a few back into State control. Anyway you tell me if you want to.

IMO as for Nationalisation, Ideally it would be preferable imo if there was a mix of state owned and Privatised companies, so in a way they can keep each other in check. The State owned companies would ensure lower prices & no price fixing and the privates would ensure the State doesn't forget about promoting innovation & generally running the business more efficiently than when a Monopoly.

Now follows a party political broadcast on behalf of the shifty party. For someone who hates talking politics you ain't doing bad.

There are already several state owned companies - the problem is that the States in question are France, Germany and Spain.

Yeah crazy Bren. In France you have a choice of EDF or EDF for electricity.Yet we abolish our own state owned utilities but allow other countries state owned such as EDF to move into our market.Having lived in France and Germany must say was satisfied with state owned services which demonstrated levels of efficiency surely we could match. Sorry forgot it's a rugby forum. Come on Trin on Sunday.

You can't call him that, you don't even know the guy.
