    I wonder if he's in the same ULEZ-smashing Facebook group set up by Croydon's (Tory, OFC) mayor that has Policing Minister ****head From Down The Road From Me as a member...?

    Big vote winner I would imagine.
    Just hope it's not all smoke and mirrors and that if elected they just don't close ranks with the Tories and fail to deliver.

    All I see in you is someone with nothing to say so resorts to throwing insults at another poster.

    Ok just to make you happy, these right wing truth twisting Tory charaltans in our government demonstrate the traits associated with fascists, commies, and marxists. That makes them sound a lot better <laugh> <doh>

    I haven't read the article. Is that just the fraudulent loans/grants or will it include PPE contracts. May want to put Michelle Mone top of the list if that's the case.

    If any right wingers want to post reasoned arguments for their policy choices then they would be welcomed. Bit tricky though as the policy choices are not logical in any way.

    Gee, if only there was a lesson in bad optics at the Tory conference to learn from...

    No, seriously, it isn't hard to look at the Tory conference and say "DON'T do that"

    Define in political terms, "right winger" (3C + 2S preferably - if you can) .

    To be fair, that was a half-parody on Sub-lieutenant Mordors effort I am sure. And instead of just repeating the 4 words ad infinitum, he did at least add a specific list item.

    Whether it was a) worth the effort or b) more likely to open himself up to ridicule (as parody probably would be missed by the Fail etc) is an entirely different matter!

    Almost as if some "mentality" class exists that is a subset
    of the "mentality" of "ascists, commies, and marxists", isn't it ...

    It does not need a definition their comments will define them.

    Right and Left is essentially simple. Right's view is from the individual. Left's view is from the social.

    Quite a vague (and therefore effectively useless) definition IMHO.

    It's as precise as anyone can be in describing a simple notion that is by definition political and therefore intended to obscure as much as it explains. Rather as you have described your own opinion of my opinion as humble and offered nothing at all to justify it.

    Your definition is vague/ineffective to me because it uses the
    word "social" (I cannot discern anything of note about the political
    beliefs of people by the degree to which they interact with others) .

    So if terms are such, then I don't use them.
    (I never need to use the words "Left" or "Right" in
    political discourse) . < YMMV >
