Terrorist Attacks - WARNING: CONTAINS DISTRESSING IMAGES
Farmer Saint replied to sadoldgit's topic in The Lounge
Incredible bravery from that bloke - shame he didn't shoot the cunt afterwards (at least to maim him). -
Terrorist Attacks - WARNING: CONTAINS DISTRESSING IMAGES

Yep, agreed, and yet previous Islamic Extremist attacks tended to concentrate on multiple religions and ethnicities. I don't think it's a coincidence that recently they have turned towards attacks purely on Jews. I don't think what I'm saying is controversial. -

I'm not saying it is correct by any means, but it is clearly in response to Israel's acts in Gaza. -

Awful news, horrific 😔 Sadly, this is Israel's legacy. Jewish people around the world will live in fear because of the way Israel has dealt with Gaza. -
Traditionally I want some of those things you list above though. However, this country is in such a mess that we need to invest in public services at the moment. Years of austerity and then the stupidity of Brexit have caused an even bigger divide between the rich and the poor, and left us utterly floundering. The lack of investment in vital manufacturing and energy industries has left us in a catch 22 situation - we can either try to kick start the economy as the Tories did (and it didn't work) whilst cratering public services, or we can invest in public services whilst using interest rates to try to kick start the economy. We tried to do what you suggested above under the Tories and it was a fucking disaster. Although it's not been great under Labour, we have seen some improvements to both public spending and the economy (slight). As you say, we're going round in circles again, so best to agree to disagree.

Which of those are by Emily Maitlis/Jon Sopel?
-
It's not about organisation, it's doing the basics and the defenders we have are so shit at the basics. Have been for years.
-
I've said it consistently for 2 years since Martin was originally in charge. Our defenders are fucking shit - you cannot coach them out of being that shit.
-
Very interesting from Sky News again, they're really good at this sort of analysis.
-
I have my own values, and I align them based on manifesto's. I also think that over the last 20 years the country has absolutely gone to shit, and that's due to austerity and Brexit. That's why I argue so much for an increased spending in the public sector, as it is what is best to get this shit hole of a country working for everyone. "No Conservative or Businessman I have ever met"...so are you saying that all businessmen you have ever met are right of centre? I would suggest stepping in a boardroom once in a while if I were you, as the reality in tech based businesses tends to be VERY different.

Cool, but I was hoping for articles.
-
Woah, I'm definitely not far right, not even close. In fact, I get labelled a lunatic leftie on here. This isn't about me, this is about the hyperbolic language used by yourself and Ralph to describe anyone from the other side of the divide.
-
Ok, name a few then. If everyone is doing it then there must be a lot of easy examples to find.
-
Couldn't stand Yellowstone - couldn't finish it in the end, generally boring characters doing boring things. Haven't done Landman yet.
-
What would those from the 30's be classed as now?
-
Who refer to them as far right, yes.
-
I posted a link showing the number of children dying from poverty in the UK and you said that you would be happy to see some children suffer, so what does that suffering look like? Be raped? Malnourished? Suffer from disease? Fucking children, not adults who make their own mistakes and decisions, children. You said it, you own it. I'm done with speaking to you now, you're just a fucking nasty TR supporter.
-
Exactly. You can't speak out both sides of your mouth mate. Love your mock outrage though, especially as last week you said you'd be happy to see children die as collateral to not having some people cheat benefits.
-
I wonder how many of those girls were classed as being in poverty, or had "fallen through the gaps"?
-
So it turns out Sir Ralph is a supporter of Tommy Robinson, colour me surprised.
-
But there were specific views in those videos... But that's fine, your prefer to read and try to understand Tommy Robinson's views rather than Gary Stevenson's.
-
With people like Yaxley-Lennon it is best to take their actions as a view of who they are, as they will always tamper down their views when interviewed to sound more reasonable and less objectionable to the general public. Also in today's world, clicks are what matters and how people get on the map, hence why I won't click on anything he says.
-
Even though you have, multiple times, refused to read and denounced articles that I have posted because they are from the Guardian, or have something to do with Gary Stevenson?
-
Who?
-
So do you think Nigel Farage is far right then?
