Ok point accepted alternatively I could just refer to the report into anti semitism in the Labour Party. If we take labours failures on this, if the case being made is that we go by the lowest common denominator nobody should vote for Labour or reform or the Green Party

What about Labour Cllrs making gas chamber hissing sounds at Jewish Cllrs? Similar level of BS but you don’t judge everyone associated with a party by the lowest common denominator. If you do you should never vote for the Labour Party.

I will try to watch it. My general view is there are always idiots in all parties but the lowest common denominators don’t mean that is the consensus view of the party. I’m an undecided voter and I can see some of their potential flaws but I’ve been to see Tice speak at a work event and was quite impressed with his proposed policies detailed specific to my industry for example and how they would look to regenerate forgotten communities. His policies actually sounded deliverable unlike current and previous governments. I would balance of the extent of the low common denominators with information like that rather than throwing the baby out with the bathwater. If we all vote based on the lowest common denominators none of us would vote at all I suspect!

I agree with that. From what I read you were saying that it was legitimate to call people on the far right “nazis” because of an idiot. If you weren’t saying that but describing one individual, fair enough

Where was this? If there were you always get a few idiots in every group so people on the right don’t condone it. It doesn’t mean that the majority of those on the far right are nazis. I’ve heard of plenty of people on the pro Palestine marches also supporting hamas , which appears to be more widespread. They are terrorist sympathisers but I don’t call everyone on the far left terrorist sympathisers. The Labour Party was also found to be anti semitic remember. You get idiots on both sides but nobody needs to lazily stoop to the lowest common denominator in describing them.

Why he starts ahead of Manama I’ve no idea. Not saying Manama is good but at least he can lead a line

The second yellow was his own doing completely. Spend ages on the ball and then got caught. He should have moved it quicker. The first yellow was a poor first touch from him in my view. Both yellow card situations were created by Bragg himself. I like him as a technical midfielder but as that type of player he can’t be making mistakes like that as it is his bread and butter

They really have a lack of quality up top and that’s what bit them in the bum in the end. 45 mins against ten men and no chances created. We have Larin, scienza and azaz they don’t appear to have much at all

That’s another gotcha question. The most recent version of the tories in government aren’t as bad as the labour government but they deteriorated in their adherence to conservative policies over time, hence why lots of Tory voters deserted them. By the time they left power they were unfortunately hooked on government spending and buying votes on this basis much like the current government. So no Tory voters aren’t socialist as ultimately they deserted them to closer they got to centre left policies. That’s why Badenoch is desperately trying to give the impression that the tories are returning to conservative roots to get their voters back

No I think the most recent version of the Tories and Labour are similar. Slight variations but I wouldn’t describe the last version of the tories as being to the right

This

Not really. Currently political decisions tend to be very much along the lines of traditional party values - ie left and right, hence why you get the comments. I think most people will support a policy, if they agree with it, regardless of party. For example I think illegal immigration Labour get a hard time in the context that the Tories were probably worse in dealing with it

Neither have an overtly racist policy they are campaigning on. They are seeking to reduce illegal immigration (as are Labour and the Tories) which doesn’t target a specific race / nationality of people. The perception of racism relating to restore / reform is miles off this policy. Also Labour are the party that was found to have anti semitism within its ranks. I can’t believe that a party would openly promote this policy. Surely it doesn’t meet the equality act standards

So it’s a racist policy which is causing division by trying to appeal to a group with religious beliefs at the expense of seeking to eliminate the state of Israel, namely targeting people of a specific nationality. How can that be allowed? Doesn’t this contradict the Equality Act?

Which part of the electorate are they targeting with this policy?

If they pass this motion, if you vote for the Greens you are racist. Overtly racist policies

I can’t think why you would want to live there with kids anyway. We moved out to commuter belt a while ago. Better community, nicer open spaces better bang for your buck in terms of property and your kids are less likely to end up dealing drugs. Cant think why you would want to stay in London. In commuter belt you can dip in and out of London when you want to

Round us they mostly have unfortunately. Thing is on the face of it earning £178k in London you probably have less disposable income than if you were on say £100k up north

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cq74e4jg9leno This bloke is a menace to society and very thick. Imagine saying to nursery providers that their costs needs to be capped. What do you think they would do? Stop providing the service People that own homes alternatively will just jack the rent up at the start of the 3 years and justify it against the renter right act as evidence of market increase. Renters will pay the increase earlier and therefore more overall.

Good lad - save that 20% vat rather than hand it over to be wasted

And this is why politics shouldn’t be allowed near football. Must have been gutting for Baz that Saints chose Peretz over him. Would he have even played? If he had they wouldn’t have kept a clean sheet

Smallbone is a Martin dream. His side way passing stats are off the scale. Too lightweight and not enough of a risk taker to materially impact games at the higher level

The gender neutral dolphins will have a calmer state of mind

@aintforever there is a well known phrase which has the words “shoot” and “foot” in it that could be applied to your response. He applied the comment to governments across the last 10 years so it wasn’t party political. Of what he said what is incorrect or is it right and you don’t like it?
