Election Year or Fear!

I think it’s probably because, about a decade ago, he had an unflattering photo taken of him eating a bacon sandwich, swale.
I doubt that anyone can completely retain their dignity in such circumstances, under the scrutiny of very rapid shutter speeds, but apparently that’s much more important than anything he says.

I suspect thats the case, but I'm sure AF is not that shallow as to have his views formed by such an incident!

[swaledale]

In post #3124, you stated, about TTR:

'He is on ignore for me and I will no longer mention or engage with him, for those whose lives are so impoverished that they find his contributions useful, carry on waste your time'

Yet in the period since, you have mentioned TTR and referred to his contributions in almost every post you've made. How's your impoverished life going? Do you need help?

I've actually hardly posted on this thread lately and haven't replied or engaged our dim red friend in any way. You on the other hand have been both posting similar views to him and responding to his posts quoting what he has posted, I've merely been offering a friendly hint to perhaps not take too much notice of what he posts, IF (and I realise that this is probably a stretch) you don't want to appear as silly.

By the way I'm still waiting for your explanation of what constitutes "good bullying" and why destroying government departments, sacking people without due process and attacking DEI initiatives are by your assertion positive?

[swaledale]

Think you?ll find that?s a reply to AF, GP?and at least three posters are trying to ignore (i.e. not respond to) TTR, doesn?t mean we never read what he?s written. I usually do and then just gratefully breathe a sigh of relief that I no longer feel the need to waste my time responding. The forum seems a better and less contentious place of late despite a certain someone continuing to howl at everyone from Starmer to the McCanns and the moon itself.

I have to say RA, I don't have to read his posts to know what he is posting, I can hazard quite a good guess based on past experience. I haven't read one for weeks, other than when a poster replies to him quoting his post. That merely confirms he is best left to chunter on to himself, he has nothing useful to add to the debate.

lol, that takes a special kind bigotry, we all know your habits regarding Tricky even if loyalty prevents stating such. It?s OK to admit it you know

Personally it?s nothing to do with that, he just doesn?t come over well, even when accepting that he?s a politician. It is allowed (I think, I?ll possibly change my opinion when the police come knocking) to just not like someone without a specific reason, and many appear to share that opinion, possibly driven by those naughty fellows ?the right wing media?

LIAR LIAR, pants on fire.

You be careful, a thought crime post, can get you in serious trouble even if it isn't a crime. This one took the biscuit, and smacks of left wing bias and bullying.

Regrettably that?s the world we now live in. God help the fellah if he had a copy of 1984 on his bookshelf

And to offer some balance, any negative opinion of Milliband is dwarfed by that towards the odious Trump aide Sebastian Gorka on World At One this lunchtime. Check it out, and also Sarah Montagues classy, calm response - she does ask some daft questions sometimes but all credit for her behaviour today

I’m surprised you can sleep at night, AF if that’s true. I mean, 270,000 plus views of the Election thread alone with all its subversive accusations of late…better beware that knock on the door!

Man accused by Kent Police of being anti jewish is a bit upset...can't think why. Kent Police should probably have just denied they said it.

WTF are you on about? I once played a little game, Farage or some other right wing toss pot would make a statement based on a smidgen of truth, I'd check a Thicky post and it would be repeated almost word for word. I can get that *******s direct from the source, I don't need and don't bother to have it regurgitated ad infinitum by some clueless idiot.

All I can say is you and whoever "we" is, are both unobservant and sadly very wrong regarding my interaction or lack thereof, with Thicky, because a cursory glance at this thread and the Forum in general would demonstrate I have not engaged with him directly for a long time.

No response on "good bullying" I notice, or indeed why in your view taking action on DEI, government departments and ignoring the law regarding immigrants is a good thing. I'm coming to the conclusion, that your perhaps further to the right than I thought. Its just your more subtle about expressing such views than others.

I think your medication needs changing. You have not been making much sense lately.

[Andy_Faber]

...but I can count. Despite you saying, about Tricky, ' I will no longer mention or engage with him', you've mentioned him in 7 of your last 10 posts. That suggests obsession, but I won't resort to cheap jibes about medication like you did, I stick to verifiable facts

[ramAnag]

I stick to verifiable facts

Hmmm…I suspect one verifiable fact is that that particular claim is far from being a consistently verifiable fact.
