Is it just me....

Because it would be so much better if the forum became an arena for left wing populism and falsehoods almost daily, wouldn't it.

I guess if your views verge to quite far to the right, then one would class myself anf RA as left wing populists, but that would be a mistake and indeed would show a complete lack of understanding as to where we stand. I won't speak for RA, but my impression is that he is very much a centrist, maybe left of centre a little, but hardly a left wing populist.

As for myself, a cursory glance of my posts would show to any sentient person, that I'm certainly to the left of centre, but hardly a raving socialist, nor indeed a spreader of left wing populism.

But then that seems typical of some on here, like for instance you who seems right of centre, with an overall cynical view of all politics. Though without it seems a coherent view as to what the alternative is. As Farage shows time and time again, its very easy to carp from the side lines, providing coherent alternatives is more difficult.

I mean being anti Brexit isn't left wing populism - indeed extreme left wingers seem to hate the EU much as some right wingers. believing that people who work should not be exploited, that the NHS should be properly funded, that climate change is real that the mass bombing of civilians to address a terrorist issue and we need to address it or any of the other range of issues I discuss, are all issues which people with either left or right of centre views would have similar views on.

I'm not sure where you get the idea that either I or RA spread falsehoods either - whereas the stuff that a certain person spews on a daily basis is clearly false, there is often a grain of truth, but its almost always complete *******s and a little bit of cross referencing shows this to be the case.


Look at the facts, GeeBeebies loses £47 million a year, it spouts stuff that is clearly not based on facts, I can take a right wing slant on issues, absolute falsehoods is another matter. But then maybe you don't care for the truth? perhaps you just like hearing what aligns withyour views? Though I don't believe your that shallow tbh.
