O/T:- ⚠️Impressed with the leadership [The UK Party Politics Thread]

[keldsyke]

I also have the same concern about left wing billionaires manipulating the vote for their whims.

It's almost like they are all in the same bed so to speak ...

Interesting times to say the least. Musk has a lot of power for an unelected individual.

It's alarming the way he's trying to interfere with public opinion from afar. Some of his tweets have been completely reckless, like calling for Starmer to be arrested - and now, rather bizarrely, not only trying to increase exposure for Reform but undermining their leadership.

On the other hand, he's bringing to light one of the biggest scandals and attempted coverups in our nation's history - and the role the establishment and current leadership played in that.

It's all very on-brand though. He seems inherently childish and impulsive. He's morphed from perhaps the world's greatest entrepreneur to a power-hungry propagandist. Maybe that was the plan all along.

Worth also noting that what Musk is now doing has been going on since forever. The only difference now is that the "powers that be" aren't the only ones able to shape the narrative on a grand scale.

What difference is there between Musk, brandishing his ideology and the left wing propaganda which is peddled to our kids, almost as soon as they enter education?

None really, apart from the delivery. See my last paragraph.

What left wing propaganda being peddled to out kids are you talking about Med?

Id like to know as well. Ive got two children whove just gone through the school system, the vast majority under a Tory government and theyve never mentioned any propaganda (other than religious) left or right.

But maybe living in Cyprus you know better.

I rather suspect that your claim to ignorance, belies your argumentative intent, if you really have no idea of the indoctrination of modern kids, then you don't interact with your kids enough and if you do, you clearly share the same politics.

Your snarky comment about my location, suggests that I've always lived here, in fact, the social conditions in the UK and the conservative attitudes in Cyprus, were serious, deciding factors in our move.

I think we can guess !

Says the bloke in France, ****ing priceless

Cyprus is a decent country with outstanding, social values including respect for the elderly.

It?s much simpler than all that. You wrote * the left wing propaganda which is peddled to our kids, almost as soon as they enter education*. You surely must have examples in mind?

I'm not interested in justifying my comments to you or anyone else. Find someone else to argue the toss with, your ignorance or denial or both, are breathtaking. It doesn't take lefties like ex-pat lefty frenchpie, long, to start with insults so I won't be providing further opportunity.

It is actually hilarious how someone who demanded I justify myself, refuses to then do it themselves.

You're uneducated, and don't even live in the UK according to your geolock comment - You have no right to say how our country should be run, and quite frankly I don't care about any response you could give because I'm not reading this thread again after how I've seen you casually treat me and other people

You likely don't do your own reading and you just throw insults out to everybody like it's chips to seaguls, it's gross and you're incredibly ignorant, and likely are brainwashed by media outlets that have agendas to serve people way richer than you could dream of being

I actually came here to post this, because I'm sure it's been argued here to slam Keith Starmer (Who himself isn't someone I like) - I'll even link a right-wing leaning paper for it.

Please forgive my ignorance, but perhaps you could provide just one example of left wing indoctrination in schools? Or could it be, perhaps, that you don't actually have a clue what is being taught on our curriculum?

I would be interested too as I haven't seen this and both my children have gone on to study Politics at university, so are probably more exposed to any 'left wing propaganda' than most... and yet I haven't seen it at all.

Mmm insults now where can we find those I wonder ? I was merely hinting at the well-known 'conservatism' of traditional Greek Cypriot culture. You read insult into it and bit off more than you can chew and have now been shown up for what you are. Oh dear, how sad.

BTW I'm a migrant.
