Coming from the same wet fanny who howls and dismisses everything he doesn’t agree with as undemocratic (despite it being, you know, democratic). Priceless Les.

Les doesn’t do Tuesdays

If she wins, can we have this to look forward to (sans picture of Dipak Nandy’s grave (he’s alive for starters))?

She looks like Jim Bowen in drag.

Maajid Nawaz is a clown. His discussion of the Iran nuclear deal the other day on LBC -i.e. his unqualified claim that it was falling apart and being completely ignored before Trump understandably withdrew from it, in effect ripping it up- was embarrassingly ignorant. He seems guilty of many of the same things for which he attacks ‘leftists’. He has a strange obsession with the left which leads him to take equally binary, blinkered, confrontational and naive positions (in the same way parts of the left have got a strange obsession with the West). Not the sharpest tool in the box. But hey he’s got a colourful past which is good for marketing purposes.

Did you wet your little knickers, Westie, like swathes of the media did, when Corbyn supposedly didn’t bow deeply enough at the Cenotaph and, in this parallel universe, stuck a massive two fingers up at Britain’s war dead?

Do you use a pump or blow it up by mouth?

Sheitels. They make orthodox women look like early 1970s sex dolls. Easy and irresponsible game to play isn't it pal.

That's not evidence he actually voted for Labour pal. You do know what a conditional statement is? Its there in the first word (I'll leave aside the fact that the tweet was about Labour's stance on nonintervention -a position shared by pacifists and hardly controversial- which is very different from Britain First's racist support for Johnson specifically because of his stance on Muslims which is the subject of the conversation. It will just go above your head). https://www.newstatesman.com/politics/media/2018/04/nick-griffin-declares-his-support-jeremy-corbyn In other tweets he has gone on to attack Corbyn's radical, drastic and destructive archaic socialist crackpottery. So I'll ask you again: evidence that he voted Labour? Or are you going to continue to embarrass yourself?

Evidence that he voted for the Labour Party?

And John Lansman and James Schneider are very close allies of Corbyn. So what? It doesn't mean that the Labour party doesn't have a problem with antisemitism. When Britain First members are hailing Johnson as just like them, it should raise serious questions whatever your particular political allegiances.

Where did the money go? Real-terms spending increases on health under Blair and Brown were faster than the long-term average (6% p.a. vs. 3.7% p.a.). And considerably faster than under the Coalition government (1.1% p.a.) and Cameron and early May governments (2.3%). And faster than what Johnson is proposing (3.4% p.a.) despite all the puff and pageantry. And no I don't buy the lazy dopey right-wing trope that all the money was wasted on bloat and bureaucracy. New Labour made many mistakes (they drunk from the free-market Kool-Aid with pfi) but credit where credit is due.

Boris agreed to a border in his own country in order to safeguard the EU’s single market #playingablinder

AKA George out of Rainbow.

Are you doing pressers notes for Trump now? In short term, Iran's actions look like fence-rattling but its hard to see how the US position in the middle east has been strengthened long-term. Says alot when even Bibi Netanyahu distances himself from the killing.

As I said his view is symptomatic of a wider view that I find completely puzzling. As for the "this place is special" comment, yes, its striking how even in a conversation among a handful of posters an absurd, thick-as-pig**** view like this can crop up. Given the world is full of oddballs, you might expect it crop up in 1/50, 1/100 or 1/1000 (unless you inhabit a Fox News echo chamber). But hey presto you don't need to look that far to find it here. So yes Jamie this place is f**king special. Again fair play for trying to read my mind.

Nope. RedArmy's view is symptomatic of a wider view that I find completely puzzling. That's what I meant. But fair play for trying to read my mind Jamie

Yep. But its a refrain that's been frequently heard on social media and parts of the US media. Its by no means an isolated viewpoint.

The same reaction as when al baghdadi was killed. Very relieved and happy.

Are people seriously comparing Bin Laden and Solemani? F**k me this place is special.

I thought Brexit was done? https://www.ft.com/content/a0190f9a-3206-11ea-a329-0bcf87a328f2

Glad we agree then that both sides of the press divide are capable of dishing it out but the right-wing press is far more vitriolic in its attacks.

It was vile and distasteful but it was one renegade columnist. Not a concerted, editorially backed news campaign that filled up the front pages and long exclusives. Do I really need to explain the difference, even to you pal.

As I say you must live under a rock and been born yesterday if you think the vitriol and tactics of the “right-leaning” press are the same as the “left”. You must also be a bit dim if you can’t hold two propositions at the same time - there’s no inconsistency or contradiction in claiming that Corbyn was thoroughly unelectable and maintaining that the right-leaning press is uniquely hostile when it has a target in its sights, often just for taking a different position. The world isnt made up of either-ors. Just look at the treatment of Red Ed and his family (never mind many of his policies have been subsequently imitated or copied by the Conservative Party). But there’s no point talking to the least balanced and the most ridiculed poster on here (a view shared across the mboard political spectrum, though GM gives you a run for your money) - you should stick to your dreary, sub-Ceefax match reports pal.
