    In all fairness to my pal Ellers, the vast majority of my friends voted for Brexit, mainly mid to late 30's tradesmen. Some are quite clued up but dont follow politics, some are as thick as pig **** and most likely still believe that the EU are banning kettles. Some (believe it or not) voted so they could get rid of muslims?!?! I **** you not!

    Ask me yourself Ellers.

    Ben Bradley of Mansfield, who said wasters should have vasectomy.

    And police brutality should be encouraged...that one.

    Do you put him in the same class as someone that refers to an opposition as ‘Scum’ or an MP that threatens to throw acid in someones face? I may have missed it Beth but when did you condemn that?

    It’s weird how hung up you lot are on the “Scum” thing considering how much you play down the various ****ing dreadful things the actual government does.

    Yeah. Went to court too despite the police not caring about retrospective crimes. Weird.

    Of course I condemn the acid attack but as said she was expelled from party... so I am not the only one.

    It was a criminal offence.

    As was at various times ..various trips round the country, parties, taking of bungs for lobbying, handing out inappropriate contracts, lying about expenses


    I did not and will not condemn the use of the word scum...as it would be a word I would use myself about some members of parliament

    Sticks and stones may break my bones...but words they cannot hurt me as my mother used to tell me.

    Next question Ellers

    Because she is deputy leader and although she will never be in Government... Just imagine if she was... Although that is stupid as no right minded person would vote for that bunch of idiots. So I guess I shouldn't really worry.

    I find it odd that you hold the opposition to an infinitely higher standard than the people actually running the country.

    We agree that Labour are unlikely to get in. More fool the cucks of this country voting for more.

    The flip side of that is that many decent people would not vote for the other shower who refer to the opposition as ‘ scum’. Might be okay for some but many people that I have discussed this with are of the same opinion as me. I wouldn't want her representing the government of this country. If you and others think that's fine, then that's your problem. But don't moan when the idiots never get elected. Although you would probably still moan. :emoticon-0148-yes:

    Those same decent people also convince themselves that Rayner’s accurate but mean words are worse than the actual actions of the actual government.

    I have said before Watford that a few voices on here are not the majority of the country.
    Many moons ago a certain Tony Blair sent our troops into a unnecessary war, which led to the deaths of many many thousands of people. Not only were our troops I'll-equipped but they were lied to. Many British soldiers were killed or had life changing Injuries. This war then led to the rise of terrorists groups that led to another war causing more deaths. So forgive me if I don't get worked up if JRM puts his feet up in the house. Fortunately for us all a Corbyn government is not in power because the last 2 years would have been a lot worse and the future would be horrific.

    I would definately describe people who lie repeatedly, try cover up corrupt and unlawful actions, vote not to feed hungry british children, vote to pour sewage into their own rivers and coastline, and hold xmas parties whilst against the rules and people dying, amongst other things as scum. They are all scummy actions. I mean would you choose to associate with people like that in your social life? Bizarre how some people think but then that sums up the state of affairs at the moment. Its a poor show really.
