QUOTE (TallDarkAndHandsome @ Oct 1 2017, 06:06 PM) What's the alternative? I think a Con / Lib pact as asbout as good as it gets. Corbyn knows his policies are nuts. But he has the yoof, who will, as we know, grab for anything shiny and noisy.

Yes, we need to make sure JC doesn't get his hands on any matches, but sadly it is the Tories who are insidiously wrecking the near future of this country, a party that could see some difficult times ahead if Brexit is softened or fudged.

QUOTE (je suis Charlie @ Oct 2 2017, 10:00 AM) Oh momentum, you so silly.
"Police have removed a banner over a bridge in Salford that said “hang the Tories”, as people arriving for the Conservative Party conference reacted with horror and disgust.
The banner included two mannequins in suits hanging from nooses and red flag. Tory MP Mike Fabricant said of the people who hung it: “Those aren’t protestors, they’re fascists.” " Me thinks they doth protest to much " seems an appropriate observation. Why do we have to label sections of society into handy filing system boxes ? They are not fascists , they are mindless pricks who haven't a clue about the real world . Now had they put forward a viable alternative to our present directive then their cause would be championed by the many . The sad fact is that we are stuck with what we have because the alternative is even less savoury , even without the mindless yob input .

QUOTE (SirWilliam @ Oct 2 2017, 09:37 AM) Once again the heady stratosphere of debating is reduced to the level of of tabloid journalism . Why should the fiscally better off have differing views from the impoverished ? One has more to lose; one has more to gain ... for a while.

If you believe that everything is being taken away from you and anyone who comes up with a few ideas is simply shouted down in an unpleasant way what have you got left? Someone on the radio said those who did this are following thr Project Fear lead.

QUOTE (je suis Charlie @ Oct 2 2017, 04:25 PM) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D9bboue6EUgThe unflappable meets the shouty left. priceless!! Difficult though isn't it? I don't think anyone could seriously argue that the current government is working hard to get people out of poverty which is what he's saying. Even Tory MPs accept that the universal benefit is putting people further into poverty. An aristocratic air and a public school unflappability doesn't really amount to winning the argument - not that the other guy was brilliant.

Indeed, however, Mr enough should perhaps of been slightly more cogent. As it was it just turned out to be another illustration of the paucity of good argument from the lefty yoof.
