General Election - December 12th, 2019

When did I say i'm "straddling the political divide?" exactly, or again have you misinterpreted.

No. I just read your posts.

No, but you implied that right wing policies are to be abhorred as a result of them being right wing. You're personalising politics and that sort of rhetoric is continuing to make political discourse toxic.

I don't remember saying anything like what you've assumed here. I said that I see the good and bad in both and choose a mixture to shape my daily life. Example, i'm charitable, but also care about my own personal situation first.

So we should just vote for everyone then , as there is good and bad everywhere ?

I never gave two shits about the Cambridge Analytica stuff. It didn't affect me one jot.

So short sighted.

So maybe I confused you with a poster who was advocating reading articles rather than headlines. I post an article for you to read and you become defensive and aggressive. That you care nothing about the manipulation of democracy is of course absolutely your choice.

Nope. I made a joke about people being reactionary to a headline rather than reading the article.

You shove an unrelated to the debate article in my face, ask me what I think, and I tell you I don't care about the subject matter to bother reading it as I have no opinion on it one way or the othe or the person who wrote it.

See where you fell down here? I quipped about reactionary responses to articles, you ask me about another article, and I reply saying "I don't care enough to comment on it".

You're right, it IS my choice, which is why I didn't comment about it much at the time. Don't see the reason why you're bringing up such an unrelated subject on a point about people reacting sensationally to headlines.

The Labour party would have a much better chance of getting elected if they did not have Jezza as their leader.

Try communism mate, if that's left enough for you, that philosophy slaughtered far more than any far right one did.
Both were evil, one killed more than the other.

Authoritarianism is authoritarianism no matter its political stripe however on the left it’s a bug whereas on the right slaughtering millions is its main policy feature and selling point.

Fell down? You are funny.

So short sighted.

If you say so.

Changes nothing though, does it.

Some bloody good debates going on on here and still 5+ weeks to polling day, Lovely Jubbly!.

What a fascinating parallel universe some of you live in. The same universe bronco flits around in, where the Tories are increasingly unpopular and have no lead in the polls at all.

When will you EVER realise that the public are not interested in donkey-jacket 1970's policies of anti-capitalism, nationalisations, increased taxes and state interference. We've moved on as a society, greatly for the better and as anyone with eyes and a brain can recognise. The UK today, even after 10 years of brutal austerity, is STILL a far, far better place to live and work than it ever was 50 years ago. Until you move on, you are destined to remain a shouty irrelevant protest party. That's what Corbyn has made you.

1970s policies thAt basically created the middle class in this country ? Other European countries have a far better standard of living than us who have kept a decent trade union structure in place . Try reading something other than the daily express and get a few facts together old chum
