Clubbing a leaver

Alternative as in those that you don't agree with?

"Alternative facts" are opinions.

And you can disagree with other people's opinions.

No you can't because Liberals will call you racist.

SEXIST!

What is perceived as "leftist" has certainly changed in my lifetime.

Back in the 70s you could not tell a Labour Party election leaflet from a National Front one apart from the racist stuff in the latter. Labour back then was against the EU, against globalism and foreign ownership of companies. It saw its task as protecting and improving the lot of the British working man.

Nowadays, it is the left which, in pursuit of their often absurd visions of a united world, continually show contempt for our ordinary working people. They are seen as too stupid and uneducated to make any choices about the direction of their own nation.

Very well put.

How many who voted remain were the children of parents who voted exit and spent a huge part of their savings to get the kids through university to help them get a better career.

Only to see them turn into arrogant idiots who think at the age of 23 they know it all.

And work at McDonald's.

A lot of that is that the New Labour/Old Labour split has seen a lot of the leftie luvvy types realising that only a centrist, populist left is electable. That comes with the Europhiles and everything that you've said about these so-called intellectuals. Power for the sake of power, rather than being true to their roots, which is one of the very few things that I admire comrade Corbyn for.

Although in the 60's it was the other way around wasn't it?



They actually did a worse one in 1964 and it was also part of their manifesto but I wouldn't want to post it here...

Was it as bad as the 1936 Berlin games?
