Off Topic The Politics Thread

Most Remainers have accepted the position and moved on. There's an angry rump that haven't, and their feeling of powerlessness over it in part drives their ire.

 

I think it's because the intellectual Covid thread has died a death (sorry for wording) and we are getting a few on here trying to educate us with their long winded BS. I’m lost on their ‘Whitty humour’ (pun intended).

 

Yeah my wording was wrong... I meant the ‘fanatics’ who will never respect the result and will always look at the doom and gloom stories.

 

Most of my wider family were status quo and Remain. They are all now perfectly content with life outside the EU.

N Ireland was always going to be problematic. Even without Brexit! At present, they seem to be heading fast for more direct rule.

 

And that post highlights the exact problem i speak of. Straight away putting blame on one set of people, labelling them and causing division. . There really is no hope with attitudes like that.

 

It really wasn't worth any more than that, but since you ask...

Woke = Anti Racist
Antifa = Anti Fascist

Should I take it from your ridiculous rant that you're in favour of both racism and fascism?

The current divisions in society were created by the success of the worst elements of the Brexit campaign, which made it OK again to be racist. This government - egged on by the right-wing media - is keen to exploit and exacerbate these divisions to its advantage by conflating, as you do, a few 'extreme' actions (though not quite as extreme as the murder of Jo Cox) into some kind of revolutionary 'woke' movement that 'ordinary people' should be scared of.

It's a recognised fascist tactic.

 

You put it better, and more simply, than I just did.

 

I notice you don't say any of it is untrue.

 

Did you notice that i didnt say any of it was true also?

 

Anti racist, anti fascist, it's easy to subvert under a virtue signalling banner. The Nazis were anti communist.

GB News has a range of views and is regulated by Ofcom. Not enough for WokeAntifa. They have to try to blackmail advertisers. They need to **** off and create their own, regulated channel, if the BBC is not reflecting their views. It's typically negative. We Don't Like Free Speech And We're Gonna Stop It.

PS I'm not aiming my views at anyone on this board, but generally

 

Right, your criticism was that I expressed a reasoned view. Apparently that's divisive.

 

Reasoned by whom?

 

It's reasoned argument. I've given plenty of examples of WokeAntifa negativity.

 

Its a blame culture we live in and in my opinion, its people like you who are part of the problem. Dont take offence to that and i dont mean it in a nasty way but the wokeanfita as you choose to name them are no better/worse than a far right gammon as they may choose to call you.

 

Was Dave right

 

He bloody was, just started raining. Cant wait to hear what hes got for tomorrow.

 

I don't support any far right movement. I'm talking about every day Woke values and actions. What exactly are you complaining about re gammons? It would bs helpful if you could list them.

 

Is he on the web

 

Ive not complained about any gammons so why would i list anything? Im talking about you blaming a certain set of people who dont represent your own views, labelling them and blaming them. Not my issues mate but yours.

 

Might see if hes up to the idea of his own news channel. Could do interviews with Jean over the road. She knows every ****s business.
