Election Year or Fear!

No need to apologise, AF, although I don’t think I ever went off topic. Just tried to add a perspective…that the underrepresentation of black and Asian where certain activities are concerned is rather more important than how ‘mad’ a Reform MP feels about adverts.

As regards your ‘95% of thousands of comments support her sentiment’. I guess that depends where you look.

The thing is RA, social media logarithms push content that aligns with what you ahve posted etc. So if AF is getting "95%" of comments agreeing with the dim and rather offensive Ms Pochin, that's a reflection on him, rather than what's being said on social media.

Big yawn Swale, I never post anything and ignore push content, and look at a balanced portfolio of news sources and commentators (Billy Bragg, a very liberal commentator earlier today for instance) and the responses to them. Its noticeable recently, more than ever, that the liberal media and 'elite' seem to have one view and 'the people' another, maybe accounting for your bitterness. You should try looking at issues in the round some time instead of re-reading your own bile and dragging rA into your little giggles

Edit: please feel free to have the last word

POI?…Swale drags me into absolutely nothing.

It is actually you and GP who constantly seek to make a more than laboured point about us backing each other up. I find it tiresome and tedious in the extreme and I actually agree with Swale (yes again) in his most recent comments, but it is a waste of time saying so because it just feeds you and Tweedledumber with more childish rear gunner (etc) ammunition and encourages your overused new trick of closing down comment by suggesting others would like to ‘have the last word’.

So, yes I largely agree with Swale about politics…so what? Yes, I agree with Swale about many of your sillier thinly disguised right wing observations, but, tbh, I’m past caring about what you and GP think about either of us…so, that last word is all yours. Try using it pleasantly for once.

Yeah you have a balanced view, mm which is why you make comments like "There are too many people from ethnic backgrounds on tv and the media" (I'm paraphrasing obvs)

Why you make dumb claims such as "96% of the responses on social media support Pochin's views" and constantly repeat themes that are pushed out by right wing media and commentators. Such as, oh yes "liberal media and "elite" and "the people".

Why you make comments such as "There is "good" bullying by Trump on matters such as DEI and Government Administration" yet seem unable to explain what "good bullying" is!

I mean even a reasonably sentient person, would be able to deduce that this concept of "the people" having one view is utterly false, one only has to delve deeper into the facts to understand that the concept is construct, mostly pushed by right wing billionaires (what are they in your world? The "people" or the "elite"?)

I've called you out, and comprehensively shown that your claims are either false, or without any supporting evidence, indeed, you tend to disappear in a huff or deflect when challenged or like the recent post, bluster when given an example where you have attacked something I have posted, based on your so called experience, which I was then able to prove I was right.

Now your resorting to posting lies, RA doesn't need my support, your statement was false, the evidence is on this Forum in many posts, but now we know your happy to stand by a clearly false statement, then that calls into question the credibility of anything you post. (Which is no surprise to me).

I recognise that your deluded, that you can't stand the fact that others on here, not just RA, often support a post I've made which challenges your narrow view of the world.

Bitter? How do you reach that conclusion, I just find you incredibly funny and sad, your more subtle than TTR, but your posts are still clearly founded on the BS pushed out and lacks any evidence of serious thought processes.

Lets face it, anybody who uses anecdotal evidence and what they have seen on FB as supporting evidence clearly has a very narrow point of view!

I might have a different point of view but at least I'm self aware enough to realise that there are many other different points of view out there and have no issue with people who are able to provide a reasoned, evidential argument as to why they hold an opinion.

On the other hand fools who just spout nonsense get short shrift. Yeah your entitled to an opinion, but if its based on BS. lies and falsehoods, its really not worth consideration is it?

The sheepeople, of which your clearly one, can vote for who they like, I don't spend much time worrying about it, if they lack the cognitive ability to wonder who is funding Farage and why, then they deserve what will happen as a result of their vote.

Anyway, enough, debating with an idiot is really not my idea of time well spent.
