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.
“She needs a good kick up the hole” |  |

In that case my Father must be part-Irish, he always used to say that’s what I needed...  | |

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. |  |

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. | |

Corbyn useless.
But only 5 years.

I think it’s hilarious, and Graham Linehan has made it his life’s work to annoy all the oddballs on twitter so he’s ok with me. | |

Somebody needs to do some maths
2019 General election
Conservatives 43.6
Labour 32.2
If labour has gained 3% and the conservatives lost 3% the figures would be
Conservatives 40.3
Labour 35.2 | |

Glad you enjoy it all. I do have a problem over the Irish and Catholicism and the abuse of many for decades .I admit I’m jaundiced.
Had an Irish girlfriend once though. | |

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. | |

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. |  |

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. | |
