Or increase tax. The freezing of personal allowances is one way, not what I would choose. On principle I don't care if the rich immigrate. The main parties could have been more honest before the election. Reform is deluded. -
I edited my post because I couldn't be sure we were talking about politicians and I couldn't be bothered to read it all back. But it was off the back of a thread discussing labour councillors, so it went without saying really and I should have left it. What I said was 'There's something very aggressive about language like that - it's not big and it's not clever. Some of the angry energy that comes from the far left is pretty self-defeating.' (In relation to a labour councillor rather immaturely, in my view, wearing a jumper that read 'fuck the Tories'). But I don't recall saying that "violent rhetoric" is exclusively the domain of the left wing. So I do think you're taking a bit of a bit of leap here. -
You literally just edited your earlier reply to remove the point you made about it being “politicians”. Then you call me pathetic. I’m not trying to say you approve any of the ugly right wing nonsense. But I AM Saying your earlier post suggesting violent rhetoric being “left wing” was one-sided and incorrect -
I never said that. Saying I don’t like some of the rhetoric coming from the left doesn’t mean I approve of Farage et al saying that Afghans being brought here to protect their lives and thank them for their service means there is an incalculable threat to women. Anything to score a cheap point. It’s pretty pathetic.
