Just because we do not hand cash over to a doctor or nurse does'nt mean we are not forking out a lot of money for our healthcare.
The average tax payer is forking out around £6k a year for the NHS.

That doesn't stop the unscrupulous and the uneducated in the press from presenting it as a Leninist tract. The Mail went into meltdown of course. The media has translated it for the people and given it a good old spin.
In fact it is an interesting set of policy proposals - and more detailed and thought through than we normally get in manifestos.
Many (if not the majority) of the proposals look a lot like previous Labour policies in opposition that had majority public support in opinion polls. Taxing the rich, investing in the NHS, capital projects (especially housing) and nationalising transport and key utilities have been popular for years - even with UKIP voters.
It may turn out to be a suicide note - but not because of the contents of the manifesto. It will be because Corbyn hasn't convinced the wider public, Labour is fighting a civil war and Theresa May has got all her ducks lined up. No one but the most optimistic Corbynista expects anything but a big Tory win. There is very little that the Labour Party can say or write at this stage to change that.
Sorry to rain on your parade but Corbyn is a extreme left wing Socialist and his pal McDonald is a self confesed Marksist

I don't take any notice of labels like socialist or Marxist. They are just nasty sounding names used repeatedly by the press, designed to scare off potential voters. You know the ones.....the people who can't be bothered to find out about the issues for themselves. Instead they rely on the Sun or the Mail to influence their vote.
I prefer to look around me and see the poverty that not only exists but often prevails in 21st century Wales, and indeed many parts of the UK. I applaud anyone or any political party that puts forward policies that will help get rid of poverty and make Britain a more equal country. Britain is one of the most unequal countries in the civilised world. Inequality is not only bad for the poorest in our society but it isn't good for the country as a whole. "There are a number of reasons why inequality may harm a country’s economic performance. At a microeconomic level, inequality increases ill health and health spending and reduces the educational performance of the poor. These two factors lead to a reduction in the productive potential of the work force. At a macroeconomic level, inequality can be a brake on growth and can lead to instability."

The brainwashed sheep tend to vote Tory after reading all the bullshit printed in the Sun and Daily Mail....and falling for it!! People who live in poverty voting for the very people who created it......you couldn't make it up! If it wasn't so sad it would be funny.

I just can't stand corbyn, i don't Think they can do what they promise in manifesto. Especially when you think what Blair did in the middle east and Libya etc.

Thinking the same too but anyone that reads instead of relying on the right wing press for an opinion will know that historically regardless of the MP's political affiliations sitting in Wales all Tory national governments have overseen extreme poverty in the principality.It has always been well understood that the historical abuse meted out by the Tories and the Liberals gave rise to the Labour movement in the first place. They've just got better at fooling people.The current WAG doesn't get adequate funding to alleviate poverty leaving the plight of these people to that great Tory growth industry aka food banks and other charities.

It may turn out to be a suicide note - but not because of the contents of the manifesto. It will be because Corbyn hasn't convinced the wider public, Labour is fighting a civil war and Theresa May has got all her ducks lined up. No one but the most optimistic Corbynista expects anything but a big Tory win. There is very little that the Labour Party can say or write at this stage to change that.
Sorry to rain on your parade but Corbyn is a extreme left wing Socialist and his pal McDonald is a self confesed Marksist
I don't take any notice of labels like socialist or Marxist. They are just nasty sounding names used repeatedly by the press, designed to scare off potential voters. You know the ones.....the people who can't be bothered to find out about the issues for themselves. Instead they rely on the Sun or the Mail to influence their vote.
I prefer to look around me and see the poverty that not only exists but often prevails in 21st century Wales, and indeed many parts of the UK. I applaud anyone or any political party that puts forward policies that will help get rid of poverty and make Britain a more equal country. Britain is one of the most unequal countries in the civilised world. Inequality is not only bad for the poorest in our society but it isn't good for the country as a whole. "There are a number of reasons why inequality may harm a country’s economic performance. At a microeconomic level, inequality increases ill health and health spending and reduces the educational performance of the poor. These two factors lead to a reduction in the productive potential of the work force. At a macroeconomic level, inequality can be a brake on growth and can lead to instability." Taken from Dr Anne Holmes on the Parliament of Australia website.

All under a labour goverment in wales hmmmm
Thinking the same thing. Poverty does exist and has existed in Wales for many decades. Who has been the ruling party in Wales for the last 20 years?
Thinking the same too but anyone that reads instead of relying on the right wing press for an opinion will know that historically regardless of the MP's political affiliations sitting in Wales all Tory national governments have overseen extreme poverty in the principality.It has always been well understood that the historical abuse meted out by the Tories and the Liberals gave rise to the Labour movement in the first place. They've just got better at fooling people.The current WAG doesn't get adequate funding to alleviate poverty leaving the plight of these people to that great Tory growth industry aka food banks and other charities.
Us in wales get more funding per head than in england so how come we are worse off then if its not labours fault whos is it ?
What kind of funding and where does it come from Wez.?Why is it Labours fault when theres been more poverty in Wales than england since the industrial revolution.And just incase it has escaped your attention most of the time in the last 200 years the Tories have been in power most of the time.
UnderFunding from westminster to the assembly ,labour control most of the inadequatebudget so why is there poverty more in wales ? Also tbe nhs is controlled by labour why us ir in a mess and lots of private contracts given out ?

The average tax payer is forking out around £6k a year for the NHS.
Did'nt know the figure but knew it was costing us a lot. Maybe free to people who have never paid in to the system, but for those who work and pay their taxes and nat ins contributions, it is not cheap. Probably already paid enough to have a shed load of hip replacements, but if I ever need one they will do their best to leave it long enough to ensure that it is only the one I need doing.
