What has happened to the Left? 09:26 - Sep 27 with 3859 viewsLohengrin

How have they arrived at this optimal level idiocy? By what road did they travel and why do they now traverse it by skateboard? Why in God’s name do so many of them seem to be running around the place with skateboards tucked under their arms? If somebody knows the answer I’d love to hear it. Is it perhaps a means of carrying a weapon they think they can get away with?



In living memory the Left has gone from this:



Men and women who looked like you, spoke in language you could understand and identify with, to this:



The sort of ideological carrion any self-respecting crow would turn its beak up at. How has it come to this? Answers on a postcard please...

Some of the comments on that are so beautifully Irish.

I was brought up to believe the Labour part /socilaism was all about tolerance ,freedom of expression and speech.Looking around their ranks,I dont see much evidence of that.

Anyone not voting for them is abused/insulted and pigeon holed as vile.

‘Vile’ and ‘Rancid.’ Those are the two must-have adjectives they preface every attack on those unlike them; which, let’s be honest, is everybody who washes, shaves and works for a living.

Those two crop up endlessly, relentlessly. It’s either a case of monkey-see-monkey-do or rigid adherence to NUJ guidelines. Probably a bit of both.

Living in a country where torys and labour are the last thing on people’s minds when it comes to the polls I’ve always found these discussions interesting. Mind you we do have versions of left and right here, just more extreme sadly.

OK I've changed it.

Vile ...Better not get me started on the word.

This country has free elections and we can vote as we wish.If somebody wants to vote Plaid ,Green or Loony,then I'll respect their right to do exactly that. I wont use perjoratives as a result when in discourse.

Labour under Corbyn shed any semblance of equality and free expression.He sent the party back 60 years.

Ive been reading Lloyd George Diaries and also about his financial dealings. These days he would be described as a bent Tory b@stard . Great prime minister but devious like few others and corrupt to boot.

Perhaps I’ve just been watching too much Father Ted. Anything regarding up the hole or kicked up the arse transforms into an Irish accent in my head.



As for the question of the sort of person in the bottom photo, my guess would be too much oestrogen in the water supply.

Come on now, be fair. If there are 200 million catholic priests in the world and 5% are paedophiles that’s only ten million.

Ahh a quick googling shows that he has been cancelled from social media for tweeting that men aren’t women. Looks like the oddballs have won.

Lets ignore that the polls have often been very inaccurate, just plain wrong quite recently and just remeber one simple thing, whatever the polls say is subject to change from poll to poll. It's not a fixed point or a direction that can't or won't change.

In another 2 years the polls could point in the other direction. In 4 yars the country could be massively tory. Everything is possible.

Just my opinion, but WTF do I know anyway?

Opinium only uses samples of about 2000 people. How anybody can extrapolate that to an electorate of nearly fifty million and claim to be anywhere near accurate is beyond me.

Given how badly Boris has been managing things lately, only now going a couple of points ahead in the polls is hardly a ringing endorsement for Starmer.

Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f*cking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back.

The +3 and -3 are the change from the last poll by this company a month ago.

I’ve been leafing through Owen Jones’ latest book this morning, Doc. Now I don’t really know what his intentions were in putting pen to paper but all he’s really succeeded in doing is emptying a bucket of slop over the heads of Labour’s leading members. If even half of it is true then they’re unfit to run a bath unsupervised much less the nation.

I was laughing out loud reading the part about Ian Lavery shaping up to fill Starmer in. On reflection though it’s not really a laughing matter, Boris and co. form what is without doubt one of the most inept shambles it’s been my lot to witness; the realisation that there is no effective, viable opposition remotely capable of stepping up is as chastening a realisation as I can recall.

Read it and weep...

He’s hardly inspiring a nation to his cause. His biggest problem apart from the raging civil war in the party is the fact that he’s a remarkably boring chap.

This is absolutely true.

Having said that, the way Boris is performing being staggeringly boring will look like a breath of fresh air soon.

I doubt enough people take Owen Jones seriously for anything he publishes to be more than a fringe irritant. Even on the left he's becoming a bit of a joke for his shifting positions.
