hypochondriac

If I were a defence counsel in domestic abuse cases there is one particular poster on this thread I'd love to have on a jury.

He's willing to take the word of Boycott despite a conviction and a failed appeal yet still refers to Ched Evans as a rapist despite similar denials and a successful appeal. It seems that soggy's principles change like the weather depending on if he likes the person involved or not.

Lol. Exactly. We believe the accusers don't we soggy? Presumably you can't complain if people applied that same standard to your ex wife? If she claims you battered her why should we be believing the accused over the accuser? Makes you think.

If the tories are the largest party but without a majority then they will change their tune pretty quick if the brexit party become kingmakers.

Here's another example of someone taking quotes out of context.

Tbf the definition that the likes of Labour want to use for so called "islamaphobia" is absurd. Anti-Muslim prejudice is an infinitely better term. Like you said though its quite possible that quotes were taken out of context. It's a real problem accross the political spectrum that people take the least charitable interpretation of a quote possible.

Absolutely I think whatever side you are on everyone can agree that that was disgusting. With political trust at an all time low you had hours of licking the speaker's a*se despite everyone who knows him personally thinking he's a horrible person and most of the MPs thinking similar, then you had people holding up signs, singing and a load of carrying on from both sides. Then you get the shameful list of honours from Theresa May before Olly Robbins starts his new job for a big Bank. Our political system is entirely broken and it needs replacing whatever the outcome of brexit.

Freddy Adu That American or Mexican guy we were linked with for ages. Wish I could remember his name!

Chatting complete nonsense as usual. Fantasist. And what are you talking about far right? My post had nothing to do with that you're just inventing things again you really are weird.

So if the point of Boris as leader of the Conservative Party is to win a majority and be the PM after an election and he is currently the leader most likely to achieve this how is he doing such a terrible job?

The point is that Boris isn't doing nearly as badly with the wider public than people on here would wish. He's still the person most likely to win a majority if there is an election. If that does come to pass then how does that fit with the narrative that he is doing absolutely disastrously? He might not be doing what some on here want him to but he is arguably in the strongest position of all the major political leaders (not sure Sturgeon counts.)

Agreed but what's to be done if people keep voting the wrong way? I'm not sure it's going to set them on the right track if we get the media to tell them how thick and silly they are that's just going to make them more determined. Maybe we need to demoralise them somehow so they are less likely to have their say. What do you think is the best strategy?

And yet:

It's just really frustrating when people don't see the world the same way I do and refuse to vote the correct way. There's so many thick idiots in the UK who can just be tricked into voting for anyone. Its happened a few times over the last few years and I'm not sure what the solution is. Maybe we need to keep referring to them as thick idiots who keep being tricked and have no idea what they want and then they'll definitely start to come around and vote the way they are supposed to (or better yet just stop voting all together.) It's all just a bunch of thick, stupid imbeciles with no morals and hate in their hearts.

And yet:

I can't really remember any previous prime ministers ever looking competent when faced with aggressive members of the public. Look at Gordon brown for example.

He didn't actually get the chance to say anything. Would have been much more effective had the bloke actually let him respond and then countered any points rather than just bellowing at him.

Brexit went past that show in terms of surrealism long ago.

I absolutely agree. In many ways those countries are going through the same sort of things we went through in the 80s. They should be punished until they reform. The point is it's their problem and not really anything to do with English football.

That's insane. How much racist abuse is there at the football? When there is racist remarks and it is reported then the perpetrators are typically banned for life. So if pompey ever get into Europe I can anonymously create the fratton forever twitter account and then racially abuse all their opponents players in order to get them kicked out and docked points?

I'm not sure how that video is a criticism of Boris. That's just some rude man shouting at him and not giving him the chance to say anything.

John Barnes really has a grasp of the issues. Dare I say it's not black and white.

What we really needs is a coalition of feminists to sort this brexit thing out.

And you can see why! I thought you left ages ago.

Some of what you say is true but comparing it to nazi Germany is scaremongering and a bit silly imo.
