The Starmer Years - Can The New Broom Sweep Clean?
sadoldgit replied to sadoldgit's topic in The Lounge
To paraphrase AI - The term ‘Marxist Fascist’ is not a real or coherent political ideology. It combines two ideas that are fundamentally opposed. When people use it they are usually confused or misinformed. Both words sum up the poster perfectly. -

What on earth is a Marxist Fascist? By the way nic, go and look up the word “hyperbole” along with “Marxist Fascist.” It might save you wasting more posts down the line when you completely misunderstand the point of another of my posts. -
You just don’t get it do you nic? A friend of mine recently said that all Reform voters should be taken out and shot. I suppose you would take his words literally too? What a gullible chap you are.

People have learnt that you have to offer Trump shiny things to get his attention. The trouble is he doesn’t have much of an attention span so whatever you think you may get in return, don’t bank on it being delivered.

Jenrick won’t want to play second fiddle to Farage for any length of time. Farage has a track record of heading up one man bands but no experience in managing heavy hitters. He also manages to fall out with his colleagues frequently. The LibDems need to up their game. They are currently the only main party with any kind of stability within their ranks. Ed Daley has been impressive during PMQs but they need to get more faces in front of cameras. The number of times they get a seat on QT is still disproportionate to Reform.

WUMs gonna WUM.

I wouldn’t bank on it. I know a firm Remainer who voted for Brexit because he didn’t like Cameron and wanted to demonstrate his displeasure, thinking that Remain would win. We all know how that ended. There can be no complacency and if people want to demonstrate their displeasure, spoil your vote, don’t give your protest vote to this shower.

“𝗡𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗮 𝗧𝗼𝗿𝘆” 𝗡𝗶𝗴𝗲𝗹 𝗙𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗲 Nigel Farage: Ex Tory member. Richard Tice: Ex Tory member. Zia Yusuf: Ex Tory member. Lee Anderson: Ex Tory minister. Nadin Zahawi: Ex Tory minister. Nadine Dorries: Ex Tory minister. Jake Berry: Ex Tory minister. David Jones: Ex Tory minister. Johnathan Gillis: Ex Tory minister. Malcom Offord: Ex Tory minister. Danny Kruger: Ex Tory MP. Lucy Allen: Ex Tory MP. Anne Marie Morris: Ex Tory MP. Marco Longhi: Ex Tory MP. Chris Green: Ex Tory MP. Lia Nici: Ex Tory MP. Ross Thompson: Ex Tory MP. Andrea Jenkyns: Ex Tory MP. Ben Bradley: Ex Tory MP. Graham Simpson: Ex Tory MP. Adam Holloway: Ex Tory MP. Adrian Burley: Ex Tory MP. Alan Amos: Ex Tory MP. Laila Cunningham: Ex Tory councillor. Sarah Pochin: Ex Tory councillor David Bull: Ex Tory member. 100% of Reform UK 2025 LTD MP’s are ex Tory members. 67% or 616 out of 924 of Reform UK 2025 LTD councillors are ex Tories. 21 ex Tory MP’s have now defected to Reform UK 2025 LTD. Everyone of these MP’s was in the Conservative government at some point over the last 14 years they were in power. Between them they ruined the economy, gave us austerity and made the average person worse off than any time before they came into power. At the same time we have more billionaires and food banks at any time in our history and that’s down to them. Now they and Farage have the nerve to tell us they are here to fix the country as part of Reform UK 2025 LTD after they destroyed it as part of the Conservative government? How stupid does Farage think people are? Rumour has it Liz Truss has been approached to join Farages business venture, she would be a perfect fit after her disastrous budget that Farage said of and I quote: “The best Conservative budget since 1986.” Copied, not my work.

No. This is an American who posts pictures of Trump with comments about various aspects of his behaviour, speech patterns etc. You don’t have to be a medial expert though to see that his mental health is deteriorating rapidly do you?
-
I am not saying he is right. I just said we can only hope that he is.

Honest Bob, Newark MP. The only Member of Parliament whose character is an anagram of his constituency.

I was going to say that I couldn’t see a Labour MP going over to Reform but then 30p Lee ended up there so who knows?
-
You don’t have to, there is plenty of hard evidence out there, much of it from his own mouth. Also go and look at the political organisations that he has been involved with. This isn’t fake news. It is factual. If you are going to vote for him you really need to properly look at what you are voting for. More for you to think about… https://www.standard.co.uk/news/politics/nigel-farages-most-controversial-moments-ukip-brexit-b1122381.html

A clinician has been doing a regular update on his health on Insta given what he can see and gives him between 3 and 7 months. We can only hope.
-
Farage’s position seems to be that he wants big names (experience) on his front bench. Fair enough, but you could question his choices! What intrigues me is that he says he is going to unveil a Labour absconder next week. Who the hell will that be?
-
I don’t have a perfect world. There never has been and never will be as long as humans are involved. If you go back to the cradle of democracy, women, anyone from outside of Athens and slaves were denied votes. It wasn’t that long ago that women were denied the vote in this country was it? Socrates and Plato were of the opinion that there would be no votes and that the Republic should be governed by what they call “Philosopher Kings.” The argument they put forward it too complex to go through here but if you are interested in it, read The Republic. What they do particularly well is explain why various forms of governments end up in tyranny. It explains perfectly what is happening in the US right now and warns of what could happen here if we go down the populist route championed by Farage.
-
It was a tongue in cheek comment. Given I have long argued for PR in this country that is hardly the position of a facist.
-
It was a reasonable post until you asked for evidence that Farage is racist. If you need to ask you really have not been paying attention. Here’s a starter for you. https://hopenothate.org.uk/2024/09/24/everything-you-need-to-know-farage/

I do. I also have spent the last few months learning what the likes of Socrates and Plato thought of “democracy” and how and why it leads to tyranny (which is currently happening in the USA). Democracy has lead to the disaster that was Brexit. Democracy could also lead to Nigel Farage being the next PM of this country. Read Plato’s Republic. It is as prescient as Orwell’s 1984.
-
It really doesn’t bother me what people who hold certain views think of me. Honest Bob currently on stage with Farage (who describes Reform as “centre right” ). If he had any scruples he would stand down from his seat and give the constituents the opportunity to have their say via a by election.
-
You left out woke liberals too! 😉
-
They are from the people who have spent years having a pop at me and are similar to you, so you will have to forgive me if I put you in the same category. If you don’t like being given a title, perhaps stop doing it yourself?
-
Not really no. I think that Farage is a disingenuous twat and is a danger to this country. I am not going to apologise to anyone who supports his views and votes for him. Out of the people I have described as having a “far right” agenda, who do you think does not? On the political spectrum, in comparison to the current Tory Party would you say that Reform, in their agenda, were a) Closer to the centre than the Tories? b) On an equal footing to the Tories? c) Further right than the Tories? Do you think that is reasonable to assume that anyone posting in support a person with specific views aligns with their views?
-
Says the person who uses “titles.” Interesting to see how animated you become when people like Trump and Farage are criticised.
