You bang on and on and on about AS, you have banged on for months. Your hatred of Socialism is plainly obvious, but you are a contrarian very much in the likeness of Brendan O'Neill.
The online Indy, the failing Guardian ad the Mirror isn't really much opposition to the mass of the RW media, or do you not read them like you claim to do. You claim to read lots of stuff but I doubt you even read The Dandy such is the paucity of your political opinion beyond your obsession. The contrariness is atypical of a person without political belief, you are an anti-believer rather than a believer. You did the same with ANTIFA, you showed a little knowledge is a dangerous tool in the wrong box.
I dont have a clue what you are for, i know what the likes of AC and Cheesy are for, i know what Urban stands for, i even thought i knew what BT stood for, but you i have no clue. An Anti person knows what he dislikes, he doesn't know what he stands for, its widespread in society today, its not your fault that emptiness exists in place of passion.
Throughout this thread you have been rabidly anti-Socialist without once acknowledging what you believe in, that marks you out as a WUM, here for effect, giggles and gotcha's rather than serious political opinion. The only thing i can see is you like Starmer, there is no reason given, its a statement without reason or thought, it is just a statement in my opinion designed to try and get a rise out of people who you know hold passionate beliefs and who will react to your posts out of exasperation at your continual assaults on our beliefs.
Vive le revolution, contrarians will be sent to the Gulag's to be educated in the cause. Then you will have an opinion beyond "but AS"
Well done you got a rise out of me last night, you didn't get a political debate though, because you have no politics to defend.
I have banged on about antisemitism for months, because I really give a shit about it and how it’s affected people in the UK. Jewish voters were really worried about Labour winning in December and it was a very serious issue in the party.
Your lack of care, lack of will to do something about it and view of Corbyn at any cost, is what we should be talking about.
I’m not the one who should be apologising for talking about and against AS, you should be for ignoring it and defending the party for the sake of your ideology.
You can keep calling me Brendan O’Neill all you like, play the man if you wish, I’m not going to rise to that.
I do read a cross section of papers, the media on the Tories is probably more negative than positive, the Mail and even Telegraph have hammered Johnson and Cummings recently, quite rightly. The Indy and Guardian have been at them intensely since Brexit.
Of course, you’ve admitted you only read the Morning Star so you wouldn’t know but you’re painting a false picture based on what you think might be going on, the media disagrees with each other a lot and even the papers to the right criticise the government.
Have you ever thought that Corbyn was that unpopular and that poor of a candidate that the public and media just didn’t like him, rather than there being some conspiracy to stop him?
Well I’ll have to let people decide if I’m here to WUM or not, it’s not my intention of being on the forum, I think I’m often guilty of speaking too much and not letting go of a discussion, rather than trying to wind people up.
Again, I’ve told you my beliefs, I believe in liberty under law as a base and from there I look at policies/manifestos specifically and individually before voting. You could call it Third Way but then again it’s often tied to Blair and there are things Blair did I disagree with, despite him being a very effective PM.
Very generally speaking a competitive market place with a safety net for those who fall on hard times or cannot work is the basis of what I want and someone who’s very effective at doing the above.
I can’t stand staunch ideologues who only look at politics through the prism of one belief, left or right.
Just because I’ve not nailed a flag to my post, in the name of socialism, liberalism or whatever, doesn’t mean I don’t have strong beliefs.
I’m not trying to get a rise out of you. I’m actually pissed off at your incessant patronising and lashing out because, as you’ve admitted, you’re now bitter following December.
You know more than me and probably every one else on this board but that doesn’t mean your opinion is more worthy and it doesn’t mean you can act condescendingly towards others, it also doesn’t mean you’ve not become totally deluded.
