Off Topic The Politics Thread

No mate, I can’t. It sounds like a more mature decision to show some solidarity than I expect I’d have been capable of at 10. I guess we’ll just have to wait and see if this evil social experiment creates a future of genderless eunuchs or whatever the **** is the goal of the evil, woke teaching community of a random school in Scotland.

All the objections are the older generation not liking what the younger generation are doing, nothing new there. Same happens all the time, just remember you don’t have to look back all that long and homosexuality was seen as unnatural, a mental illness that needs to be cured, then you can look at the objections you had, mostly from the older generation had with different ethnicities.. before that women’s rights was going to see the breakdown of society, those protesting were considered mentally unstable. People just have short memories… thankfully those objections were overcome and society progressed from that.

Yeah, we also had members of the Labour Party (one of them Harriet Harman) supporting the civil rights of ****philes to purse their interest in sex with children and lower the age of consent to 10 years old.

That sure was the right way to go.

No clearly not, neither was Simon Thornton or David Boswell’s approaches either.

Just when you thought we couldn't become any more of a laughing stock.

"I would prefer a leader who is able to reflect and come back and say 'we made a mistake', rather than just ploughs on."

So says Nadhim Zahawi, bravely kissing Johnson's arse. Apparently Kwasi Kwarteng wasn't available after his ritual humiliation in trying to justify the previous day's attempt to save Owen Paterson.

Wouldn't it be nicer to have a leader that just once in a while didn't get it horribly wrong in the first place?
