Top Cats Hat Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 55 minutes ago, CaptainSwing said: Imagine the furore if it had been Mr Corbyn proposing an amnesty for illegal immigrants. Or, indeed, the massive debt-fuelled public spending binge that Mr Johnson has also promised. Yes, Corbyn’s spending proposals are seen as dangerous and uncosted, whereas Johnson’s are simply him carrying out what he promised Conservative members in the leadership election. If he is serious about a no deal Brexit, it is going to cost the nation £billions in preparations never mind the £billions the no deal exit would cost when it happens. He just doesn’t have the money.

Apples and pears. They are both proposing different things costing different amounts. Corbyn’s proposals would probably cost more, but then the nation would have hugely valuable assets like its own rail companies, whereas Johnson’s 20,000 extra bobbies on the beat may cost less but will only restore police numbers to pro-austerity levels.

The total cost clearly matters as to whether it is seen as economically dangerous or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Litotes Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 BoJo wants unicorns and fairy dust because that's what he will need to pay for all his promises... When it doesn't appear it will all be the EU's fault. He is a lying misogynistic sexist cheating backstabbing w**ker - just for for the current government.

Spending £billions on something like Brexit preparations that you wont get back in advance of something totally avoidable is economically dangerous at the best of times, never mind at a time when we are already in economic difficulties and the pound is heading for record lows. You don’t need to know the exact figures to know that this is not good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pledging many tens of billions of pounds without credible sources of that extra funding surely brings significant potential risks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it does, and pledging a higher figure therefore comes with higher risk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
