This board

[ex_pat_magpie]

I am an ex Labour Party member and district delegate but have left the party as it was virtually taken over by extreme left in the momentum group and led by a Marxist Republican,there is loony left even on this board but not many.

Have you rejoined now Mick, considering the nutty hard lefties have had their noses put out of joint and replaced at last by the moderates.

I think it's looking better for the future.

I would add to the above that the majority are more probably moderate slightly feft of centre Labour supporters, the type of people to be more tolerant in these situations and unlikely to veer to the extremes.

So, slightly left of centre Labour supporters are more tolerant than centre and right of centre Labour supporters (and that's before you look at left of centre Conservatives or Libs)? Not sure I agree there.

one thing is for sure, all parties will exploit anything to gain an advantage and are not to be trusted at all.

I have never voted and will never vote.

The funny thing is, we fought two world wars to have freedom from persicution at the hands of a political tyrant, the yanks have had hundreds of years fighting against the KKK and the likes, but the more these ****ing snowflake ****ers keep destroying our towns and businesses under the pretense of a cause, it turns more peoples thinking towards the far right.

Regardless of colour, religion, age or ***, if i saw peope smashing my community up, id not think twice about putting a bat into their knees.

This whole thing is the stupidest shlt ive ever seen.

Mark Wahlberg was trending on twitter this morning, he said we should all learn to live together in peace.

He was then slaughtered by the snowflakes because he has a record of hate crime in his past.

FFS the actions of a 14 year old child do not define a persons legacy.

Strange how his Wiki page now says in 1986, he chased 3 black kids and threw stones at them, yet fails to mention, he was also a kid of the same age. The actions of a spoilt angry uneducated shlt.

On this basis, every single ****ager who took part in the global riots should be branded a thug for the rest of their lives and have it thrust in their face even when they try to act in a humane way

?? I'll put another way the loonie lefties and the the radical right will always be lurking in the shadows waiting to have a pop but on the whole the majority on this board are labour people given the area they are drawn from

To my recollection I haven't seen any radical right wing posts on here but I have seen several radical left. Then again, as most people on the board (and, as you say, in the area) hold left wing views, it's not surprising that anyone who does not is labelled as being further to the right than they really are.

I think you seem to be confusing the issue here. It is normally considered that the futhest right wing of the Labour Party is just left of centre, whereas the most moderste Conservatives are considered to be centre veering towards the right and as for the Lib Dems, who in the distant past were the more moderate of all three main parties are distinctly more left wing and radical than the centre left of the Labour Party.

Ah, there was a comma missing from your original comment which changed its meaning. All good.

What is this board these days. Is it a football message board or a looney left activist board. If its the latter then I am afraid its not for me anymore. Am all for discussion but when thread after thread is started on the same subject i.e Kashoggi so called fiance, and when a difference of opinion is put up its attacked by a poster with looney left views, therefore not allowing debate, the same thing has happened over a post put up about the BLM protests. Amazingly the violence is down to white people.
Well I am taking a break, its not why I come on here to read sh1te like that. Will be back after takeover or the re-start, whatever comes first. Maybe then there will be football to talk about. Take care everyone.

Get yourself back on, Geordie. It's a really strange time to be a Newcastle fan-we're in limbo and that's reflected in the posting on here, I think. We can't talk about who we might buy, who our manager might be...all that stuff...in case it doesn't happen...and there's not a lot to talk about concerning the current squad until the football restarts (plus, people's appetite for the club as it is has been diminished to the point of not caring given that we've been promised the best food money can buy but may still be force fed the shit we've been served up for years).

I think the simple way of putting is that the left going further left in response to the current government doing what the Tories always do and move further and further to the right to please their back benchers. Austerity and the general neglect of many communities across the country.

So it's cause and effect.

Labour's last time in government, apart from Iraq rebalanced things however it's all been undone over the last 12 years.

The only thing I can say it's that it is a sorry state of affairs in politics and democracy right now.

However here, on the board, I chose not to engage so much with the political threads. Everyone is entitled to their opinion and I defend people's right to hold the opposite views to mine.

Sadly once upon a time we could discuss issues in a reasonably civilised manner with a hopeful view to find compromise that works for the majority of the population.

Today that's all gone. There is us and them and they have their hand in the till; not even trying to hide the fact now.

Let's hope we've hit rock bottom and can start to move back toward those more cooperative times.

Not yet Bill,we have had war memorials defaced by left extremists and anarchists on the streets of London and what does the Labour mayor of London say(We will assess what monuments and statues can stay.)

The BBC (Biased Broadcasting Company) say it was peaceful protests.I am not paying my licence fee ever again,it's not fair in any case I pay for Sky and get hundreds of channels,why should I pay a large sum just for the Beeb.
