You got to feel sorry for Nic when he has done his 3 posts. Wandering around the forum with only his little emojis to hand. Poor chap

Indeed and should go without saying. Horrible event, life is far deeper than political viewpoints

I won’t indulge your sanctimony that you seem to revel in it having a political divide.

Bless

What would a false flagger do?

For someone who states they have no allegiance you seem far more reticent to condemn anything from the right. The left not so much

Don’t believe anything yet. Deep state behind it just as plausible. How have they evaded the manhunt so far? Don’t they have CCTV and number plate recognition over there?

And this place isn’t for faint hearted - abuse come back and forth but all you right wingers are such snowflakes

Pay the fiver tightwad. All I get is notifications saying you have reacted to my posts. Of course it’s you giggling

If you want someone who can connect with Trump they probably come with baggage though. Although I assume Epstein connection was known or researched. Gone early so will be out of the news and forgotten about v quickly

Totally get your point but we are all taxed twice on multiple things. I am very much a net contributor I think

C’mon. Some things take Batman a lot of time to get over

Don’t think it impacts the average voter really.I have never liked Mandelson and no loss there.

TBF Ralph makes his case and is generally respectful and reads replies. You are very different and seem a bit of an unhinged giggling idiot.

Fair point and I can’t say I know a huge amount about him. I shouldn’t rely on South Park for balance

I think you have a caricature of what a socialist is and argue against that. You have made assumptions that I am not wealthy and envious of those that are. I do not feel need to repeat myself to debunk this view. Posters obviously build up a persona however people like hypo and egg have years of disagreements and agreements with me. You have turned up recently and formed an opinion on very little in woudl appear

if I was using the idiot conspiracy theory line. Who gains? Trump. Knocks Epstein out of the news and fuels his dangerous radical left want violence and free speech denied.

Agree but if your schtick is publicly ridiculing and provoking students and saying a few gun deaths is a price worth paying for their open gun culture there is some irony there

Do you think they will take as long to capture the assassin as they took to get Bin Laden?

Great analogy

So surely anyone without children shouldn’t be contributing to taxes going on education? Once you start breaking it down to individuals’ contributions then there are endless arguments to be made.

Did I say abolish private schools? Again you seem to have an argument in your head and want to project the opposing (looney leftie -lol) view without actually reading.

You sound like a scratched record constantly trotting out your silly mantra. Why do you assume it is driven by envy? I guess someone self-centred can’t fathom anyone not thinking solely of themselves at all time

The vast majority of parents cannot afford private education for their children - assume you don’t dispute that? Why should a subsidy, which is what it is a VAT exemption is, be in place for those that are in a privileged position to chose? State education needs to improve and that is more likely the more rich kids, and influential parents are involved in it. Schools were actually in a relatively decent state under Blair, largely due to increase in funding. There will be individual stories that can make any tax seem unfair but taxes need to be collected somehow. Haven’t seen the stats on all the kids that were doing everyone a favour by opting out of using state resources, that now due to 20% price hike are flooding the state schools? That was the Tory scare story wasn’t it? And so many schools will close as no pupils left? Come on, do I really need to answer that?

Yes considering how hateful the rhetoric is on both sides and how deeply violent US culture is, with easy access to weaponry, I am too. Only needs one person to be unhinged, and I imagine millions slip through the mental health system too, Unfortunately this will be used to stoke the culture war rather than be any sort of epiphany
