Sorry you're right, we shouldn't really express views that don't conform to the mainstream.

The extreme tone is like for like with that which is the first introduction to Jihadism or other terrorism. It's militant political propaganda and it should not be published.

In fact, I'm not certain you haven't posted it as an attempt at grooming.
 
It's not the only way to find out. Their past actions are a guide too.

One bloke seemingly doing well preaching to the converted (short term) hardly makes his party the new messiahs.

You're on form tonight, I would give your post likes but it might look like i'm stalking you.
 
You put your own earnings (even though you claim to be in a high earning bracket) above helping this nation become more equal.

Make you happy does it?
I've done more for this nation than most.

What I have I work(ed) hard for.

I owe no one a thing.

Am I selfish? You've no idea what else I do but you seem to regard knowing all the facts as an unnecessary distraction.

Handing more of my hard earned over to a party led by people who are confused by matters such as money and facts is not appealing.

Help the country become more equal? Jesus. So everyone earning the same regardless of their job? Living in the same conditions?

Yup you clearly live in cloud cuckoo land.

Explains too why you seem happy with the thought of handing over more tax to McDonnell.

I just dont understand why you don't get the huge amount of borrowing those clowns will need will screw over all those less fortunate you claim to care about.
 
They have decades in politics and life, and their ideology has had longer.

I don't recall Starmer, Corbyn in McDonnel in government before but ...

Every ideology we see in mainstream politics has failed at some point.
 
It always gets twisted into somehow being about funding the unemployed. Fact is, high earners have been enabled by governments for some time now to pay less and less tax whilst at the same time funding for all sorts of things that benefit everyone (such as below examples) is no longer available, or just pittance remains -

- Infrastructure
- NHS
- Policing
- Transport
- Education
- Environment protection
- Housing

I'm sure I missed lots out, that was just off the top of my head.

We're at the point now where current and future generations simply do not have the same opportunities that previous ones did. If you're lucky enough to be born into a rich family then you might be ok, but many millions of people are not.

People are waking up and realising that a rebalancing needs to take place, but it's a hard fight against biased press & politicians who themselves gain from this.

In my opinion.
At the end of the day Party nobody should be allowed to be unemployed and not contribute.
Look around the streets there's plenty of litter to be picked up and maintaining a nice environment for living should be included if you're receiving benefits.
 
Who says they're right wing or happy with the Government?

It's too simplistic to try to pigeon hole and bracket people like that.

"Education is an admirable thing, but it is well to remember from time to time that nothing that is worth knowing can be taught."

If you're to the right of social democracy, you're right-wing. If you prefer a Tory government to a social democratic Labour government, you're right-wing.
 
The first person of this campaign to weaponise The Abbott.

You'll start banging on about the IRA next.
I will raise you the weaponising and scaremongering of the NHS.
The Abbott is the Labour Party's Josey Altidore (no pigmentation slur intended).
And if you are uncomfortable with Dozy Josey, then have Danny Coles.

It's no worse than than the right-wing stuff people read daily in newspapers.
 
In your world working your arse off to achieve something marks you as a greedy ****?

I see.

I guess you'd be ok if I'd claimed benefits and whined about a lack of equality?

What a simplistic childlike view you have.

Pay more tax, make the country fairer.

You'll still be alright/do well.
 
If you're to the right of social democracy, you're right-wing. If you prefer a Tory government to a social democratic Labour government, you're right-wing.

As I said, trying to pigeon hole people over simplifies things, and leads to false conclusions.

So slamming The Abbott is more important than worrying about the state and the future of the NHS.

Some priority.
 
True.

But I'd have thought raising children from poverty, investing in education (and the pupil premium for arts), closing the gap on inequality etc etc would appeal to anyone.

But as we've seen from some, they just care about the money in their back pocket more than a better society.

Taxation has barely featured in this election, I'm comfortable with the tax I pay, I'd even pay a bit more but would not want Corbyn spending it. Has society ever been equal? How do you define equality, minimum wage earners don't even pay tax.
