    Corbyn promised to address this issue in his fully costed manifesto, that was co-authored by experts and supported by more than 200 leading economists. Unfortunately the media in this country demonised him and painted a target on his back. James, like many others, will not accept their culpability. He speaks of cognitive dissonance. Sadly, on this issue, he needs to look into the mirror.

    The catastrophe commenced when thatcher privatised everything. Ever since then uk infrastructure has had zero investment and has significantly declined; rail, water, housing are three very clear examples.
    The worst bit is that these private companies do not act like normally businesses, they purely extract and invest nothing, they have paid out in shareholder dividends more than the profits. And the profits should be far less if they were investing correctly in long term business and service stability. The whole thing is disgusting and that £2b a year is the hard earned money of working people in the UK.

    Best guess on the pant/push Q? Muscles come in concentric and eccentric pairs, think bicep and tricep. When you pant/exhale you make your diaphragm push your lung cavity, when you push you are squeezing muscles in the other direction you can't extend you arm fully the same time to curl the same arm, the principle is the same as panting and pushing, worst you get a lock of competing motions.
    Qualifications? A seminar about attitude and how if you imagine an imaginary thing is heavy the expectation makes u work the eccentric muscles to give that illusion, so a curl feels harder because your arm is pushing both ways to make reality match expectation.
