Off Topic General Election Special

Is that you or you taking pictures of men in the pub?

 

The medium? As in a political poster? No, posters can be great.

The message? It was condemned by a huge cross section of the media and society along with the 'nazi' similarities being pointed out.

Not attempting to hit below your belt by the way. I'm attacking the 'message' not the 'medium'.

 

This is the polling station Chazz.
Voting isn't a chore for me.

 

It neither inspires or offends me.

They had an agenda and whether you like it or not the majority of the country bought into it, our borders do need tightening and comparing that poster to the third reich is drama queenery at its finest.

Fact is no ****er knows who's coming into the country, as the latest atrocity shows and people are genuinely scared.

That poster fed off that fear and could be construed as far right propaganda by some and not by others.

Politics is a dirty business and all parties throw low ballers if they think they can win some votes off of it.

FACT.

 

You disagree that it has any similarity to methods used by the Third Reich?

You don't understand what fact is.

If it doesn't offend you, it just defines your moral compass.

I thought it was utterly shameful. But that's me.

 

You need to chill Leon. You've made some great points on here.

Terrific thread by the way Chazz
Why thanks it was nothing

I'll be happy to see it closed tomorrow tea timeish

 

Scaremongering?

Demonising?
Common currency in electioneering/referenda propaganda.
UKIP regularly get branded fascists, bigots, nazis by the Ian Hislops of this world (from his hilltop) Sussex farmhouse. Some may genuinely think along those lines, others realise it's a very effective smear and means of closing down an argument.

 

Really enjoyed it mate.

 

So, you don't see any similarity between the UKIP poster and the screenshots of the Nazi propaganda film I posted?

 

Dint see any screenshots. What number post was it?

 

I hope so mate - I despise UKIP.

Can you clarify your second sentence? Ta

 

1666

The Queen pulled down her knicks etc

 

I have no problem sleeping at night and don't try and take the worlds problems on my shoulders.

I've got enough on my plate in my life to worry about people I will never meet, my energies are used for those closer to home.

What have you done to help those refugees then?

What have you done to go out of your way to ease their suffering?

You send all your spare money out to them, forgoing new clothes, nights out, holidays etc?

If not you haven't a leg to stand on.

 

Without New Labour, UKIP would never have seen the light of day.
Had Labour elected David instead of nasal weirdo Ed, they would have got elected.
The consequences of Islington dinner party politics and selfish trades unions.

 

What? So you're seriously saying that in order to validly condemn a poster about refugees by UKIP, I have to send all of my spare money to refugees?

No, you're right. I haven't got a leg to stand on.

You're a ****ing walking talking genius mate.

 

I wouldn't quite go that far but I am pretty special.

Cheers.

 

I agree with the first two sentences.

Would have to dispute the third as saying the TUs were selfish is wrong - it was the members who voted - ordinary workers. You could argue they were misguided.
