Off Topic Politics Thread

We finally reaching the point on this thread where people are just going to start calling people they disagree with Nonce defenders?

 

He posted it as a response to Chilco's post and wrote "you" liberals and lefties clearly including him in his assertion. The ban is justified imo.

 

It wasn't until Chilcs posted that he voted Lib Dem that liberals was added to Os's "defend rapists and ****s?" rant making it personal as well as being well over the top. That's my take on it, I'll leave it at that.'

 

It got a well deserved ban for the poster.

 

At last normality to the thread. By that I don't mean left wing and liberal views, just a bit of debate without the sensationalism and frankly outright racism.

There are a few on here that I don't agree with their views (and definitely vice versa), but at least they put them across clearly, and don't sensationalise it all and end with "I was right all along, see"

 

Another good, long opinion piece on the bond markets this morning from the silent media, saying Reeves has nowhere to go with this.

Bond crisis leaves Rachel Reeves with nowhere to go https://www.thetimes.com/article/7f78af6c-6462-4ca5-9204-05049d4eee15?shareToken=57262211e8e400b9d788693bb62adb47

 

Actually a good read. Shame it wasn't reported anywhere

Your link was a bit messed up so I post it again:

Once personal insults start being spewed you either been trolled or lost the argument. However when the person spewing the insults has the power of the whole nation or millions of followers who do not rationalise what is being said, then the whole global eco-system for democratic discourse is in peril. I leave it for individuals to come to their own conclusions on whether that is the plan or not and who is the puppet, and who is the puppet master, and who is just tangled up in the same strings.

 

I'd like to discuss why I think you are wrong or even make a harmless joke with you but in the current climate someone will call for a ban. This is the stage we are at on this thread now, dobbing each other in. I'm well aware that Os himself did this yesterday about loading but I don't like it wherever it comes from.
I will only contribute by posting and will try to avoid any interaction with the other posters on here so that's one objective reached.
As for Osvaldorama's ban, it appears the end result justifies the means.

 

Go for it IOAG, you can private message me if you want, I respect your right to reply.

Apart from the fact that we had an inquiry, the report on which was published in 2022, and from which the last government failed to implement any recommendations.

Please stop spreading these lies.

 

I was told today that they implemented 21 of the 22 recommendations? And only didn’t on one…..not fact checked yet as still at work.

 

No, that’s not correct. They accepted 21 of the 22 but failed to implement any of them.

 

Massive difference from what Richie was lead to believe.

 

It’s almost there is a massive campaign of misinformation going on.

 

Someone I work with listens to a lot of talk radio, and it came from a Tory MP on there apparently.
