The holier than thou brigade who can’t get their own house in order.

people can’t even say what films they like, or don’t like, without you “putting them right” with a lecture.

Sceptical it’s down to people like you trump is in office as the lesser of two evils.
I think I agree with that
You people just don’t get it, you are repsonsible for Brexit and over the pond, responsible for Trump.
And agree with that.
Scep, As I’ve said before, I am crap at politics. However, the more I read of your politics, the more I know it’s not for me. Your politics seems a bit outdated now. Tony Benn, Michael Foot and that mob, ain’t they dead now? Oh no, Corbyn and the lovely Dianne Abbot are still breathing.
I think that indirectly, scep and his political mates, and their propaganda made me want to vote for Brexit, and have indirectly made me support Trump too.
What’s the alternative? sceps mob?

80% of labour held constiuencies voted Brexit, labour strongholds north of Watford, once proud industrial heartlands, now crime riddled cesspits. EU membership has done nothing for the working class. EU economic migration in blue collar occupations has done nothing for the working class. etc etc etc. Same story in America. That’s why thje lower classes voted Brexit and that’s why the lower classes voted for Trump.
The political class has feathered the nests of an urban middle class elite, the group most likely to vote at the expense of everyone else. They now reap what they sow.
Tony Benn, Michael Foot
You mean Kinnock and Blair. So called ‘progressives’.

Not everyone who voted for Brexit are lower class though. Just saying….

No I know, I am just typing broadly because I can’t be arsed typing an essay demonstrating how brilliantly intelligent I am when it comes to politics and global affairs. Said with a pinch of salt. Stasticially people from blue collar occupations voted Brexit and statistically white collar voted Remain. With all the bits inbetween. Nothing is black and white of course.

Except perhaps add to it?

That could be me. Although I’m also a possible Liberal Snowflake (like scep).
I’m not sure how that works.
You mean Kinnock
I liked him.
and Blair
The Barrister’s husband. I know quite a few Barristers.
I do believe Mr. Blair was in family with Alf Garnett, and the long haired Scouse git 😎

Obviously it has added to it.

Yes, I agree. But I am discussing the left, socialism, with the centre right, liberalism. In the context of the labour party.

Do we need or want a larger working class? Do we have jobs for them? is it not that simple?
Do we need to add further to our working classes if we have a surplus already?
Wouldn’t that be putting a strain on the system and resources?
Or is it not so simple as that?

This what the snowflake liberal class is DIRECTLY responsible for in the UK (and the USA. They SHOUT down anyone who has genuine concerns and brand them right wing, xenophobic, racist thugs and meanwhile in the real world, when reasonable people are branded in this way, the real far right slip in under the radar. There is none so blind as those who will not see.
The far right in the UK is mobilising itself around protests over the imprisonment of the former English Defence League leader Tommy Robinson, a group of MPs, union leaders and political activists have said.
Isn’t it funny how Gerry denounces the ‘chattering classes’? That always goes down well.
The chattering classes really are elitist. They are horrible. They dominate The Guardian.
There are other groups – Jacob Rees Mogg, Ian Duncan Smith, the Daily Mail spring to mind – but they aren’t the chattering classes.
The chattering classes are a real fave.
But when you read Gerry – in the odd moment when he actually put some arguments down instead of foaming at the mouth every time I post – it’s full of words like ‘neo-liberal’, ‘globalisation’, ‘populist’.
These are the terms popular with – the chattering classes. The Guardian.
Oooh.
Neo-liberal’, for example, sounds very clever. Nobody actually knows what it means, everybody has their own definition of it. But boy, does it sound clever. And, boy, it’s meant to. It was adopted by the creme de la creme of the chattering classes – the French intelligentsia of the ‘grand ecoles’ – precisely because it confused people and made them think – wow, how clever!
Our resident populist, gerry, uses it a lot.
Challenge them to think about these terms -‘populist’ etc, and the chattering classes will become furious, won#t invite you to the soirees where they discuss these terms (there was an excelletn pisstake of these soiree in the tv programme, Atlanta, shown on BBC 2 last Sunday night – very funny series, written by a young black outsider).
gerry is a real populist, because when challenged he comes out with a blaze of obscenity whihc makes QE sound like a middle-class gentleman. This proves gerry is working-class, and a populist.
It also serves the same function as the chattering classes – people just nod when the incomprehensible buzzwords are passed around
TYhe chatte
