Off Topic The Politics Thread

I quite like Emily.

That's fine, Bob. She professional, even if her veneer of impartiality shows thin sometimes and reveals the left leaner below.

These presenters are powerful people and should not be protected from justified criticism because they are from a minority, eg woman, BAME, Jewish etc

I dont disagree, everyone in poweful positions, able to influence should be accountable.

Jeez, must you bring racism into everything? It's perfectly acceptable to criticize anti-Brit Naga, who is highly paid and has massive influence on TV and radio. It has nothing to do with racism. Emily Maitlis comes in for stick too, for her woke views - she's not BAME.

Agree that’s why I couldn’t even bother to debate the point. I didn't see how calling someone ‘deluded’ amounts to name calling? Then Bob does his usual uninformed stirring, and I get called a racist because I call Naga something different… mmm funny how just about everyone else is allowed to mock someone but as soon as Ellers does it we get the yoghurt knitting squad complaining. Good response on the awful Naga.

I know Bob.

? Bloody hell you seem to be a silly little activist of late Peter.

Calling me deluded. Happy now.

I think you will find you called me deluded 1st, I'm neither little or silly (my mum called me silly once but that was 60 years ago)
I'm not an activist either just a plain old Tory voter that feels he has been let down by the bumbling fool we have leading this government,but he will be found out sooner or later

As the UK, which now accounts for under 1% of global CO2 emissions, moves to tell households to rip out their gas heaters, China, India, Indonesia, Japan and Vietnam have plans to build more than 600 new coal plants.

China alone has 368 power stations in the pipeline with 187 gigawatts of capacity. So much for President Xi’s promise to reach net zero by 2060. India is planning 92 plants, Indonesia 107 new plants, Vietnam 41 and Japan 14.

I'm glad you cleared that up. For a so called Tory voter you seem so loyal?

So you think showing loyalty to a party who you think is making mistakes is the way to go,blindly following like sheep,I dont think so,I supported them when I thought they were doing good things and will call them out when they lie or cock up

Good we have sorted that out, now run along and complain to the PM rather than bore me on a Sunday.

That is so refreshing to hear on here. I was a labour voter until not so long ago but lost faith in them. Agreed with some things and disagreed with others. Im not alligned to any party at the moment. Its good that despite bejng a tory, you can see and admit faults, whilst others just blindly follow nodding their heads.

You get used to it

That's a result I must of aged 2 years as last time someone said 4 year old.

Oh look you have found a friend. Get on and slag the tories off together.

I dont think hes slagging the tories off in general Ellers. Hes just saying what he doesnt agree with or like, which as i say, is refreshing to hear rather than blindly just accepting everything.
