You see, Terribilis, left wingers think that "full employment, peace, good quality housing and a world free from famine, disease and water shortages" would be a good thing. Con-servatives and others think that it would be a bad thing, because then the poor would be less terrified of the powers of the rich and organised capital. It's quite remarkable how you can say what you do so soon after a coroner has officially found that the death of a person was due to the effects of government policy over benefits."

Only one major political party in the UK has a vested interested in maintaining and expanding those living in poverty in order to guarantee it voter base and that is the Labour Party - In Scotland the Labour Party has never done a thing to improve the lot of the "poor" in decades gone by they'd all vote for a donkey wearing a red rosette and the Party down in London knew that they always would - then along came the SNP and pissed all over that cosy little arrangement. Pity that the Labour voters down in England haven't cottoned on.

Housing? City and Town Councils could not afford to maintain their stock of houses, the tenants themselves had no interest or means in maintaining them and they were all rapidly turning into the self same rundown slums they originally replaced. The trouble with Socialists running things from a base of political dogma - ideology and a poor ideology at that does not meet the needs of real problems - that is why no socialist government has ever worked and it is why Corbyn will remain unelectable as far as the British electorate are concerned.

To everyone who responded to my posting about full employment, good quality housing etc.

I didn't say that conservatives don't believe in these things."

No-one mentioned conservatives Fred, I know I certainly did not - I asked you to prove evidence of ANYONE stating that "full employment, peace, good quality housing and a world free from famine, disease and water shortages are somehow bad - those were your words Fred so please can we try to stick to them in discussing this point. As far as I am aware no-one I know of has ever stated anything even remotely approaching that.
