O/T:- Should he stay or should he go? WARNING - POLITICAL THREAD!!!!

[drillerpie]

Wow, the left on here are gathering momentum.

Last week you brought 'socialists' into a thread about German football.

Yesterday you brought 'the left' into a thread about football team themed masks.

Now you're trying to crowbar 'the left' into a thread about Dominic Cummings.

If you want to talk about 'the left', and it seems you definitely do because they occupy a lot of your thoughts, I would politely suggest starting a thread about them.

If you want to talk some more about the Labour MP and her retweet regarding grooming gangs (which I agree was shocking) then maybe continue on the thread it came up on.

If you want to just constantly troll Elite and BFP at all costs then maybe consider doing it on the handbags thread.

Otherwise, when you just keep posting one line provocations which add nothing to the topic (in my view at least) just to stoke up a bit of aggro, you seem like a cross between a hyperactive version of Soccerman and an online Wealdstone Raider.

Wow, the right on here are all devolving into being Soccerman.

Fgs, don't bring that plank into it. The level of debate will descend even lower.

A 13 year old died alone in hospital, people haven't been able to attend funerals etc. You cannot deny people the right to be extremely angry about this.

Whatever your politcal persuasion we all have a moral compass.
Cummings obviously has no morals. No respect for opinion and the Tory government for which I voted are backing the wrong horse here.
British political history is littered with transgressors of every political leaning.
This is not a matter of politics as others have said.
Its not about legality.
Its not about his interpretation
It is about right or wrong
He's in the wrong and should walk. But he won't and will continue damaging the Govt because there is no election on the horizon.

Well, that's told me.

That's a pretty good summary of him. If you read his many posts on this type of thread, he very rarely comments on the subject in hand. Instead, it's just a tedious series of petty digs against posters he dislikes. I don't even think he understands politics, he's just decided to become right wing because me, sid and BFP are left leaning. If we continually posted about how much we hate Forest, his reply would be "well, me and my lad are going to get season tickets in the Brian Clough stand".

You're just still sore with me after the Cuban holiday crisis. I'd much prefer the Trent End.

Don't know why he was almost in tears, Wilko is usually busy.

Unless of course I've misunderstood, and you are being critical of the way the government are running the NHS.

If you're trying to be funny you've failed miserably.
I'm rapidly losing support for the clowns 'running' the country.
Johnson taking the advice of 'five times wrong' Ferguson started it off - 400000 deaths' garbage.
Patel silencing the grooming report, letting Starmer off the hook and the apathy towards hundreds sailing the Channel whilst we have to queue for half an hour to get in Wilko's to wander around empty shelves.

Having said that they are, incredibly head and shoulders above Labour.
We're living in Clown World.

He did it with me for a while (he kind of still does but you can tell his heart's not in it anymore) and I just ignored him and he lost interest. I would advise anyone else to do the same.

It's a pity really as I think he's occasionally very funny and clearly an intelligent person, but I find it gets lost in his trolling for aggro which is just pretty much constant across all threads now.

There's nobody left to admire in politics anymore. We're all grown men here, the majority over 40 I would have thought, why are we still looking for super daddy's to save us? Why would anybody put their trust in these people and defend them?

If any of these [uT*$ in power stumbled across you starving to death in a field, they'd squash your face into the dirt underfoot in order to stuff their fat face with the last carrot, the Murdoch press in tow ready to adopt the position of a human toilet to feast upon on their excrement. The gullible, in turn, will gobble up the media droppings and recycle it all over the internet. It's a disgusting sight.
