You can substitute gun control for tax reform, wealth redistribution, creating corporate responsibility, police accountability, building walls on the southern border, prison reform, humane treatment of illegal immigrants, etc. If there's zero difference between conservatives and liberals in the US, then why are you posting shit like this ?

Hopefully Thomas and Alito pop their clogs in the next couple of years. If they're both exactly the same, then why does it matter that the President is a Democrat, or the Supreme Court is full of conservatives ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because a system is broken doesn't mean you just accept that. Pointing out the issues in a broken system is always worthwhile 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is absolutely clear daylight in both the laws that are passed and the way individual states are run by both liberals and conservatives in the US. Of course there is convergence on certain issues, but the country is hugely polarised for a reason. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirkieRR Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 Anyway, the likes of Sirkeir and Rayner crowing about their election victory while simultaneously displaying their ignorance of Scotland and its politics. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny Danger Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 Looks like Labour want to cover up their internal problems until after the next GE. It would be terrible if the truth came out about paid Labour Party employees trying to undermine the elected leader and being unhappy that Labour under Corbyn performed better than expected in the 2017 GE. Anyone voting for this disreputable mob deserve everything they get. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2023/oct/06/labour-seeking-delay-antisemitism-leak-lawsuit-after-election 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottsdad Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 Now it's Labour's conference. Having seen last week how not to do a conference, what will Labour offer? I'm old enough to remember Labour's 1996 one. That's the bar they need to reach, I think. "Education, education, education" might have been a slogan but it stuck. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coprolite Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 According to whatever Westminister weasel reports for the Today programme, Labour’s strategy for this conference is to keep it out of the news and not draw any attention. While cowardly and uninspiring, it’s probably sensible. Whether they can see it out without some guy in a donkey jacket smuggling a Palestinian flag in is another matter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watching HIGNFY on Friday, Ian Hislop made a remark that the only Labour policy was "We're not the Tories". His guest said "Well, it's a fucking great policy". Big applause. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never a fan of Corbyn but his treatment by the Labour Party has been nothing short of disgraceful. The use of Israel/Palestine (and I say this as someone who is not particularly enamoured to either side) by certain individuals is just poltical opportunism of the worst kind. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And just watch the tory right wing turn Corbyns Palestinian support and the Palestinian group outside the Labour Party conference today subtly spun to associate the Labour party as a whole in supporting Palestine and terrorism. This has been political manna from heaven for the tory right wing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
