Farage is simply a wum. I think he deserves everything he gets and more. You don’t have to like Starmer but he does merit a completely different level of respect.

So you’re just being hypocritical then. I agree Farage is a total bell end, however you can’t condone a hate mob on one but not the other without being a total hypocrite.

I agree with Stainsey, this is not appropriate. It's hate speech, and on Twitter, you'd get a lengthy ban. I'm amazed the Mods let you get away with this.

I’m just such a jovial guy that it’s cool. She’s a complete **** if you prefer that to having her slowly eaten by rats. She’s a hate preacher so merits a bit of hate speech - only my opinion and if a mod asks me to moderate my language I’ll do so.

Interesting to contrast the outrage with the joy when the likes of Farage gets egged or whatever. It’s either acceptable or it’s not, whoever is the target.

Of course it's not acceptable, whoever is the target.

But only if someone was provoked into attacking Farage by a false slur made by his opponents might there be some equivalence here. Johnson knew exactly what he was doing when he raked up a lie propagated on far-right social media sites. He legitimised the lie and it was a deliberate and calculated dog-whistle to loony conspiracy theorists.
 
Well you actually haven’t to be fair.
What you’ve said is that if YOU don’t agree with someone then they deserve what they get…….

No, I’ve said Farage is a wum and he wants to be ‘attacked’ so he can portray himself as a victim. Starmer is a serious politician who deserves respect regardless of your views.

I'm sure you're a jovial guy, but surely you see the irony of wanting a mother to be shot in front of her children because you don't agree with her political opinions.

SB73 liked your post, so I assume he has no problem with it, despite having children himself

That was a joke by the way. I’d much rather her kids didn’t have to see it. Not their fault who their mother is.

Brexit voting, climate change denying, anti-vaxxers - don't sound very left leaning to me.

Since when is the Brexit vote right wing, when former Labour voters in the North voted for it in numbers? And anti-vaxxers can be left wing, ask Piers Corbyn. These people could equally be Jeremy Corbyn supporters. Magna Carta, Julian Assange were all shouted at Starmer. Apparently only one person, a woman, mentioned Saville.

Hmm. Piers Corbyn together with William Coleshill - a red/brown alliance of conspiracy theorists. Utterly charmless and moronic.


Here’s an idea. Let’s invite all the fans of Julia Hartley Brewer and all the fans of, say, James O’Brien, together with their two heroes and whoever their heroes think are good, to go into a large but enclosed space and have a sensible debate about things until they find the stuff they can agree on. Just to encourage them we’ll lock the door, and the rest of us can get on with stuff.

You carry in making all the assumptions you want. I make loads of assumptions about you.

It seems an easy option to slur anyone who voted Brexit to be on the Right of politics…..though it’s still beyond me how anyone who says they are on the Left would vote against leaving the EU.
