NotThePars Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Grimsby is a f**king hole! Makes Beirut look like the Maldives That was probably a factor in their Leave vote tbf. Better a futile gamble than more of the same. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being PC is the language of cowards, call things what they are, it's not hard. and calling black people black is not offensive to anyone except snowflake fuckwits, so grow up. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A corrupt, monolithic, undemocratic, bureaucratic, waste of time and resources. It disappoints me that people who regard themselves as being on the left of politics defend and support this institution. Maybe in an independent Scotland with (hopefully) a written constitution incorporating a commitment to social justice they won't feel the need to. I accidentally found this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Believing that running away from institutions that have kept peace and stability in Europe for the longest period in history is worth the price of a guarantee of recession and a doubling of red tape. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but "muslimy types" and hispanics are not black. My post used the term people of colour for a reason. It wasn't being PC but rather based on the US presidents attempts to control immigration for non-whites, the apparent tendancy for officials to shoot people who happen to be non-whites and their fixation with guns. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But changing your mind is a terrific skill to have/learn and more people should be encouraged to do it. Too often political views are too entrenched and people aren’t willing to listen to reasoned debate. That is of course unless you’re trying to convince someone that we’re ‘Better Together’, then you should just f**k off.

I’ve changed my position for reasons I’ve explained on here before. I believe the criticisms in my post are/were valid and I think it’s unfortunate that the debate polarised in a way that folk had to be pro or anti. I think that pragmatically we need to stay in. I also think those who want to leave are motivated by reactionary rather than progressive ideas, I understand where the like of Corbyn is coming from but I think he’d be serving the whole country better by looking at the bigger political picture. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fear a race to the bottom under the Tories if we leave the EU. Beating the Tories and their xenophobic supporters is the single biggest priority. That may no answer your question but it’s the truth and it’s the best I can do. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Lambies Doos Posted March 7, 2018 Author Share Posted March 7, 2018 I think it's fair to say that strichners comment bordered on racism and he's now trying to backtrack under the guise of some accepted Americanism. That's my opinion anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
