Nah mate not far right in the slightest. Even accepting your points (and Baw Watchin’s) are 100% right - why is being tied to some near fascist countries in Europe the solution? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wee-Bey Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Glad to see that Brexit has damaged some people's brains so much that their personal Overton window has shifted far enough to consider the internment and deportation of Windrush folk as centerist policy. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't say the wages recieved by those working in the public sector are welfare, just because it comes from government. Everybody will get basic state pension irrespective of periods of illness, unemployment, study, pregnancy etc. What exactly would you classify as welfare? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pet Jeden Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Have Labour fcked up here? By letting the cat out the bag yesterday that they don't actually want an election, does that mean that Macron is going to dig his heels in and block a pointless 3 month extension? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You claimed Johnson/the tories weren't far right. I pointed out a Tory policy, and you've responded with an ad-hominem. You made a rip roaring c**t of yourself with that thread a couple of years ago, accusing me of hitting women and all sorts. I really cannot be arsed trawling back through the thread, so pipe down please. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure that degree of unfairness and incompetence was a left-right thing. It was just plain wrong. The Labour party - not necessarily its supporters - tends to be more immigration friendly. But that immigration-friendliness tends to be more apparent in opposition than in power 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
