Back of my card.

Anyway, if Johnson's shtick is to appeal to chancers and spivs, I can see the sense in that. There seems to be an inordinate amount of them about. How they fund their lifestyles off such small amounts of work and customers, though, is beyond me.

Blaming ourselves for what?

I've remained in Labour for fourty years and have been as active as circumstances allow each to their own as to how they manage that.I reserve the right to take the piss.

That's.... an interesting theory!

I was actually wondering if there's some sort of start-up grant or something that doesn't have to be paid back which they use to set up a useless business, pay themselves a hefty wage from and then walk away debt free.

Of course some self-employed people are just carrying eye-watering amounts of debt.

We are party members,the party failed ,a basic tenet of being a Socialist,or should be is to share responsibility ,we cannot exclude ourselves or carry a get out clause.
