    Facism was born in the left wing, not the right. A popular misconception.

    Aye, I don't think of extreme left and right on opposite sides of a straight line but on a circle which eventually meets and the two become one and the same.

    There are very few differences between them in reality.

    All cnts.

    This.

    Britain used to be a benchmark. People ask me here about Brexit and I do my best to explain but tbh I am embarrassed about my country for the first time in my life.

    This parliament is a disgrace and I’ve never seen one so ‘far away’ from the people, knowing it and not wanting to do anything about it. Well played to Boris for wanting an election to let the people choose the way forward.

    Benito Mussolini was the founder of fascism. Granted in his youth he was a socialist, working on a Swiss newspaper but following his drafting into the Italian Army during the 1st World War he did a u turn and became an ardent right winger and it was from thence that fascism began.

    Yes I did google but simply to check my facts because it's decades since I discussed these matters.

    I found that the facts of history are still the same.

    It amazes me that Labour persist with Corbyn as leader. Literally ANYONE else leading them would now be PM after the complete shambles of government we've had over recent years.

    Agree there. They would romp home with Kier Starmer at the helm.

    Agreed.

    I won't vote for them but as i said any competent Labour leader would be romping home.

    After 9 years it should of been Boris trying to avoid an election, not him pushing for it and Corbyn and co voting against it.

    Opposition should always want an election.
