Yep, that’s politics everywhere now mate. Divisiveness and polarisation is their game, rather than serious policies to make people’s lives better. And people of both the left and right fall for it. Sorry state of affairs.Under Polanski the Greens in Denton/Gorton have put their important core environmental agenda aside and used profoundly divisive issues like drugs and Gaza as their flagship policies. This deliberately polarising tactic is from the same populist playbook as Farage, exploiting a complex problem in order to target a specific group of voters but without any genuinely new plans to provide a solution.
Not if it increase the number of recreational drug users - like smoking, even legally permitted pastimes generate a juicy black market. Look at the situation in Scotland - still a dealers paradise despite decriminalization and state provided drugs.I hate to break it to you, but legalisation will completely fuck the dealers up. It's one of the main arguments for legalisation.
There will always be a black market just like there is with tobacco, illegal vapes etc.I hate to break it to you, but legalisation will completely fuck the dealers up. It's one of the main arguments for legalisation.
I was thinking of before 02.00 stay up any later than that just have a kip as normal.Well, I think you can vote upto 10pm so would have thought results would be well after midnight, but you'd get some kind of idea with exit polls beforehand.
I doubt legalisation would increase the number of dealers. A lot of drug dealing is online now anyway, the business model has completely changed in the past few years. It comes in the post, so a lot of those business would probably move to becoming legit. The days of meeting ropey cunts in car parks are generally gone.Not if it increase the number of recreational drug users - like smoking, even legally permitted pastimes generate a juicy black market.

I haven't clocked any Reform voters revealing themselves on here....I see the reform voters and Labour stalwarts on here are pushing the narrative that only Labour can beat Reform.
I did regarding his pathetic claim that Polanski wants everyone on heroine. Plus the tweet by Labour that would have been splashed across the front pages for antisemitism had it been under Corbyn.Not aware of anything out of order that Starmer or indeed Labour has said about Zack, please supply quotes. The Greens are however quite openly urging the Muslim voters to punish Labour because it supported Israel against Hamas and despite their recognition of the Palestine state. Their recreational drug legalization message is profoundly divisive and nowhere near having wide support in the country at large despite its popularity with the young voters in the constituency.
You been to Blackley (or anywhere in north Manchester) recently?I doubt legalisation would increase the number of dealers.

Returning Officer is predicting 3.00 - 4.00 am.I was thinking of before 02.00 stay up any later than that just have a kip as normal.
Ha, fair enough. They need to move into the 21st century.You been to Blackley (or anywhere in north Manchester) recently?
Every other car or e-bike/scooter is a dealer. It's done in broad daylight with absolutely no fucks given.
Where and when did Starmer say that? On recreational drugs legalization you are clearly not familar with the economic law of increasing supply creating increased demand. Who do you think most legal fags are illegally sold by these days?I did regarding his pathetic claim that Polanski wants everyone on heroine. Plus the tweet by Labour that would have been splashed across the front pages for antisemitism had it been under Corbyn.
You’ve kind of agreed regarding drugs that it’s hardly cure being used as a vote winning policy at the moment.You say it would be popular with drug dealers so i can only conclude you’ve spectacularly missed the point on this one.Dealers voting for it would be as stupid as working classes thinking Nige will help them.
Honi soit qui mal y penseWhy would we want any immigrant over here who couldn’t speak English to begin with? Why should the British taxpayer fund English courses for immigrants who can’t speak English?
Bonkers country.
Thanks.Returning Officer is predicting 3.00 - 4.00 am.
Without knowing more, why would you not want your daughter to grow up bilingual?You don't know how ridiculous things have got.
Me and my wife, both first gen immigrants from India, have a daughter born here, schooled here, only speaks and reads English. Which we are fine with, maybe sometime we might give her classes in Hindi just for the heck of it.
The interesting bit is, kids have some sort of checkup around 2 years or so, with basic checks on health, development indicators etc - and the lady (some kind of nurse / counsellor) spent a major part of our session berating me for making English my daughter's first language, and for not making her prioritise an Indian language.
That's how mental things are at the government and council level.
I agree. The Green Party tactic for this election seems to be let’s talk mainly about Palestine to get particular votes. Things like environmental issues seem to barely get a mention.Under Polanski the Greens in Denton/Gorton have put their important core environmental agenda aside and used profoundly divisive issues like drugs and Gaza as their flagship policies.

Wasn't she saying that, because of immigration, she wanted to become an immigrant somewhere else?They interviewed that woman who said the country's gone and she wants to leave, then proceeds to say she'd like to move to America cos they have got it right there!!
FFS this is what we're up against.
Yep, bonkers.Wasn't she saying that because of immigration she wanted to become an immigrant somewhere else?
Syed probably travels further than Goodwin to get to the constituency to talk bollocks and put on his concerned face - yesterday this joker was defending Andrew Windsor
Had loads of stuff come through through our door, palestine barely mentioned by the greens.I agree. The Green Party tactic for this election seems to be let’s talk mainly about Palestine to get particular votes. Things like environmental issues seem to barely get a mention.
I think there’s going to be a lot of dissapointment whoever wins. I keep repeating myself, but combining these areas together under one seat, makes no sense. Very different places and needs
