    The argument is not about comparing. Read the article. Understand the debate. Good, you have admitted there is a problem.

    Please note all those who are more akin to labour are not suggesting there isn’t an issue within labour and all seem to want this to be fully investigated and actions taken accordingly.

    I’d also suggest it was none of these people who added ‘remain voters fist donkeys, and rabbits too’ in the tags. Just a thought.

    5000 BF members joined the Tories, according to them. Your party appeals to the far right more than any time in living memory. That doesn’t mean everyone within it is far right but there’s a reason the far right support this version of the Tories.

    Never said there wasnt. It would be highly hypocritical of one to focus on a party that isn't in power and not look into the party that is in power. Again that's where we differ.

    The tories are really making a **** up of this current situation. Lie after lie after lie. Why are people so gullible as to not seeing this. The economy will be trashed, people dead in their thousands and they call it a success. They have a real problem on their hands at the moment and I sense more lies anyway soon.

    Why cant people stick to the argument instead of going off in so many directions?
    The argument is about an article regarding Labour and it's now about Britain First/Tories/Coronavirus?
    It's like marking an English Lit paper on Hamlet only for the student to discuss Football without answering the question?

    I did answer it fella. Now I have moved on. C'mon, you're the king of this. I'm still waiting on evidence of JC being antisemitic, I asked last year and you still haven't provided. I moved on.

    Keeps people talking about the lies rather than the bigger issue. Far less damaging to have people point out that we actually tested nothing close to 122000 people than question what was done with the positive tests. How have we got on with the more difficult, quantifiable and headline-worthy testing and tracing parts of the strategy?

    Will Jenny Harries apologise (or get sacked) for declaring testing isn’t appropriate for rich countries like us? Probably not as no one gets reprimanded for anything any more especially a Tory shill.

    I'm not aware of this and from all the people I know in the party I have never witnessed or seen any far-right types. It's like saying 5000 antisemites have joined the labour party? I can't see these types joining as the ideologies are miles apart.

    No, it’s like a history paper where we’re evaluating the validity and underlying objectives of a secondary source.

    It is truly disgusting that people have died due to their incompetence. Heads should roll.

    Well, they did. https://metro.co.uk/2019/12/28/far-right-group-britain-first-says-5000-members-joined-tories-11970687/

    T
    he Tories had to move right to stamp out the threat of Farage’s mob. It’s a successful strategy clearly.

    It’s not the time. When it is it will be wrong to look back when we could be focusing on the future.

    This will be fudged and kicked along the road just as Grenfell was.

    I’ve no reason not to believe it. The Metro isn’t exactly left wing.

    Mate it is a comic and during Brexit it was rubbish. Now I don’t know the members of the Tory party ( I only know local ones) I have never seen any dodgy types unless you are talking about the lot from the WI?

    Ah so now we’ve had that rule confirmed if information reflects badly just say wherever it’s come from is not credible or has an agenda, no matter what.

    I'm guessing everything bar the Daily Mail and possibly the People's Observer.
