    Here is your post ...

    "This lot don't care how it looks or what anyone thinks. [1]

    They are so fully signed up to this deranged dogma they can no longer see right from wrong. [2]

    The mentality of fascists. [3]"


    1/2 may well be true.
    The mentality you ascribe to fascists is as I indicated
    applicable to myriad socio-political doctrines/regimes,
    past and present.

    Or do you contend that 1/2 above can only apply to fascism ??

    Neither do a sizeable minority of the electorate who keep voting these fckers in.

    (With a helping hand from their pals in the media)

    I think the way you tell them apart is through the 'Farage test' which I've discovered just this week. You ask yourself, given the choice which one would choose to shake Nigel's hand or dance with him if they saw him at a Tory party conference.

    I think Baker would probably make a hasty swerve if he saw Nigel coming.

    I guess I like to find ppl from all sides who can engage in some healthy political discourse with a little something called integrity.

    What part of my two posts to you just do you not understand?

    I was referring to the slimy truth twisting right wing ****s we currently have in charge in direct reference to the posts above by two other posters talking about 'bad optics' and how them evicting a delegate was a bad look.

    I was talking about the here and now. I've already told you, if marxists and communists ever hold power in this country (a democracy) and do the same you may just have a point. But they aren't in power and hopefully they never will be.

    I am referring to the fact that of all the things you attribute
    to the current govt, none of it parricularly exhibits the
    "mentality" of fascism in particular but in fact of myriad
    socio-political doctrines/regimes past and present.

    Ok mate next time I'm talking about the nazi's I'll refrain from calling them fascists bcos they happen to exhibit the same dictatorial traits of Stalin's communist Russia <laugh>

    Likewise I wasn't making an abstract statement. There is some context which you're intent on missing. We live in the UK, a supposed democracy and we have a right wing government demonstrating those behaviours and in that context I'd say it's fascism. Had it been a left wing government doing the same you would have a point, but we don't. It's not hard to understand.

    When responsible governments allocate a sum in the realms of £30bn+, the treasury usually carries out a spending review. This would involve consulting with other government departments and outside agencies likely to be affected and takes a considerable period of time... as opposed to just deciding off the cuff over a couple of days, on the back of a *** packet.

    Last night's Question Time was from Wolverhampton.
    They massively ****ed up, as they clearly bussed in the audience from elsewhere.
    I could understand every word.

    Next week's non-politicians are Myleene Klass and Piers Morgan. <doh> ****'s sake.

    What do people think of the government's plan to gradually age out smoking?
    It's a weird one, for me. I'm split.

    It's got to be a good thing, even if it's largely on the decline anyway with teenagers.

    Haven't checked on what was said on vaping but that seems to be the bigger problem with kids and hopefully it's a part of his plan.

    Nobody knew about Network North until Rishi-Washy blurted it out, meaning his cabinet and Network Rail were equally PO'd with his ad they'd both be facing questions about something they first heard about minutes before

    Sunak has previous for this, too, as Eat Out To Help Out was similarly blurted out, as the Covid enquiry is currently finding out

    This is a genuine Telegraph article title posted today:
    Tory Party enters the 'drunken tramp' phase of existence.

    You know you've ****ed up when your own propagandists turn on you.
