You believe I'm a proponent of National [u]Socialism[/u] ?

I fear your own political compass looks a little like this:

Of course there's no evidence. The deep government know better than that.

I believe you're a proponent of anything that gets you attention. Whether that's better or worse than being the right wing nutjob you're currently pretending to be, I couldn't say.

i think you are probably left leaning in the real world [ no one can be as callous as you try to be] and the RW thing is just a charade for attention

Like he says I am not sure this is better in any meaningful sense

Still people replied so you know have a biscuit at the fact you were able to be outrageous and get replies....its clearly really a difficult thing to master.

PS looks like we all actually rode bikes today

Or on the terrorism thread ๐Ÿ˜‰

I see May didn't take long to break the suspension of hostilities. That speech was a blatant politicisation of last night's attack and not a too subtle dig at Corbyn. "There has been far too much tolerance of extremism", obviously we all know what she means by that, but as Home Secretary and then PM she has had direct responsibility for addressing this problem, and has completely failed. Corbyn and labour should stop being so respectful and start playing her at her own game.

Look at the way EU bureaucratic system is enslaving the future of the Greek children now. They (Greeks) cannot even survive and live in the land of their birth but need to disperse and to beg for jobs all over other EU countries ... sad innit.

Sounds a bit like the way the English refused aid to the Irish and would rather they starved to death, Population dropped c 1.5M , got to love the tories

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/04/20/border-security-budget-to-fall-by-2-million-theresa-may-confirms/

How does this help security? How does reducing police numbers by 20k help security?

May can blame who she like to deflect, but her track record stands for itself.

Maybe Greece should leave the EU not us then, oh foolish one.

May be you should know we have voted to leave the EU bureaucratic enslaving system ... silly goose. ๐Ÿ˜†
Actually I think people moving to other places to live and work is great not sad. I did it. And you have claimed in the past you did it - you're not sad about it are you?
The country (Greece) is already bankrupt so what are the people suppose to do? Goat herding? Ya, when the country is bankrupt the people will have to beg for jobs elsewhere. They have to not because they want to. You want to. ๐Ÿ™„

That EU bureaucratic system is a very sophisticated system of enslavement that systematically stripes away individual rights.

Yes we don't need the EU for that. The tories are just as capable.
Actually all lefties related govts tend to have bloated public sector that is so bureaucratic they use it as a reason to "create job". They need to create more bureaucracy in order to create unnecessary jobs so to bribe people into voting for them. Everyone knows that. i.e. borrow to spend on unnecessary bureaucracy job creation that is a burden rather than good. No wealth generation but good a borrowed wealth consumption. Absolutely useless. ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

Love it when right wing Brexiters bring up Greece.
At least they are not enslaving the Greek people like the EU bureaucratic system indirectly support by those who prefer to keep a blind eye on things rotting in EU bureaucratic system.
milleboy - Member
Any evidence for that, or just another Brexitist fantasy?
You cannot see the plight of the Greek people? Oh hang on it's the EU bureaucratic cog in the machine no wonder Greece is in deep poo poo. ๐Ÿ˜ฏ

Mays reaction this morning was most certainly political, and more than a bit worrying

What worries me now is that she is, by instinct, really, really authoritarian. She showed that repeatedly as Home Secretary. A few things she said this morning set the alarm bells ringing.

Sounds like she's preparing to cynically and opportunisticly use this to drive through draconian surveillance legislation she's been trying to get through for years, for monitoring communications and generally curtailing civil liberties. And it'll have little or nothing to do with preventing terrorism

No bikes since early last week dissapointingly.

I rode one bike. Others may have ridden others.

I love the fact that certain individuals are too thick to understand the points made against their arguments. Well it makes me laugh anyway.

Glad the social media nonsense about postponing the election was swiftly kicked into touch. Prime Minister May has been word perfect these past few weeks and of course today.

Would have been if she hadn't have shamelessly politicised it with that cynical speech today. She just about held off after Manchester, but couldn't resist making some capital out of it today. Bloody disgraceful.

Yeah, she's said some very bizarre stuff today by trying to suggest the internet is the reason these attacks happen. If only there was a way to communicate without using the internet.... She's also trying to deflect attention away from the fact that she has been responsible for cutting frontline police numbers by 20,000.

I'd also be interested to know where all these people who are "tolerating extremism" are.

Word perfect Maybot repeated her pre-programmed statements perfectly ,strong & stable, Brexit means Brexit, coalition of chaos etc etc

It was only when asked why she chickened out of debating Corbyn that she suffered a system meltdown

Some of it is trolling but also May supports some of the hopes and dreams of those who think an authoritarian hard line government, practicing nothing to hide nothing to fear is best. Her dedication to reducing immigration makes them skip and jump through their rose tinted white washed history regardless of where they choose to live.
It's just a shame she is so bad at it, 20,000 police gone immigration unmoved despite having all the powers to do something about it. Remind me again how she has changed?
She will fail to deliver you the police state you crave.

She can't even achieve that.

And by the way, rather than getting drawn in to blatant trolling by Jamby, ninfan and chewky, just block them. That way the adults can have a sensible conversation without being interrupted.

This is the tactic though isn't it? Cut them back till the point they break then let the private firms in to fill their boots.

worse i think its take away our basic freedoms[ in the name of safety] then sell our safety to those who wish to make a profit.

No PM could stop this so i think its unwise to try and score cheap political points - then again if May wants to i guess we have to join her in the gutter.

Three campaigning days from an election which will shape our foreign and policing policy for years makes it critical that these issues are aired thoroughly ASAP. Anything else is disrepectful to those who died. Any pause in the debate is a gift to TM.

We don't know enough about the individuals involved in the Borough Market attack to tell if this could and should have been prevented, but there is a nasty smell around the background of Abedi in Manchester which needs to be addressed, particularly as the movement of him and his family to and from Libya falls directly in the purview of our would-be Prime Minister in her previous role as Home Secretary.

I heard that stuttering, stalling interview on radio 4 with Karen Bradley, trying desperately not to admit that, yes, there were far fewer armed officers, and her boss, the one who wants us to vote her in on Thursday was the one who cut them all.

Is that what strong and stable sounds like then?

it was strange - i think one of corbyns main appeals is he actually answers the question even if the person wont like the answer

SO many politicians just try and evade the simple question [ that we all know the answer to anyway] and it demeans them, us and democracy as they lie/decieve in a shifty and shitty way

The tories are not alone in this respect but they do seem the worst at it these days - see Mays response to not meeting corbyn for example
