Like sex with an ugly man/woman... something you only consider after too much to drink and then no matter how attractive drink makes it appear it always disappoints and leaves one feeling rather sordid and with a nasty taste in ones mouth.

What a superficial oaf you are maxxi. Ugly?? Putting some labels on yourself there sir.


I'd have likened it to sex with a tory: dirty and wrong, a sound thrashing the MSG of the physical act of love. For those few, sweet, heady seconds, you believe yourself equals, there's nothing so very, very wrong with it really. And after all, no one need ever know.


But then, after the after-glow comes the realisation that you have debased yourself for the hydrogenated fat and massive salt intake of a moussaka that isn't even authentic (where are the bloody aubergines?) And you need to shower and brush your teeth.

Oh there's all kinds of ugly RosieH. The ugliness of dismissing a person purely for their political persuasion perhaps? This could possibly be a thread on its own - would you rather sleep with someone you found deeply unattractive or someone whose personal political beliefs were opposed to your own?


As for labelling myself, yes I remember the times I have been viewed as a half-eaten 'Happy Shopper Lasagne' on the morning after but that really is the point isn't it? When one has a bad enough itch thenappearance and politics are brushed aside in the name of a good scratch.

Well that'll learn me to abjure the use of a punctuation face. Was an attempt at humour.


I actually find tories to be more skilful than their lentil-munching labour counterparts with a riding crop and a pair of galoshes. It does present me with a terrible dichotomy, to be sure.

RosieH mea culpa.


But I too have found myself bewitched by someone who later turns out to have the ideology of a facist tortoise and you raise an interesting problem with which to wrangle. A 'skilled' tory or a lazy socialist idealist? (I was going to add or a boring neither-one-or-the-other LibDem but that would be predictably unfair and as a result of the coalition I'd like to think they've learned a few tricks).


Frankito I notice you don't quibble about my brand being 'Happy Shopper' whatever the dish itself. But maybe I am more on-trend than I thought...

    • @Sephiroth you made some interesting points on the economy, on the Lammy thread. Thought it worth broadening the discussion. Reeves (irrespective of her financial competence) clearly was too downbeat on things when Labour came into power. But could there have been more honesty on the liklihood of taxes going up (which they have done, and will do in any case due to the freezing of personal allowances).  It may have been a silly commitment not to do this, but were you damned if you do and damned if you don't?
    • I'd quit this thread, let those who just want to slag Labour off have their own thread.  Your views on the economy are worth debating.  I'm just stunned how there wasn't this level of noise with the last government.  I could try to get some dirt on Badenoch but she is pointless  Whilst I am not a fan of the Daily Mirror at least there is some respite from Labour bashing. https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/politics/grenfell-hillsborough-families-make-powerful-36175862 https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/politics/nigel-farage-facing-parliamentary-investigation-36188612  
    • That is a bit cake and eat it tho, isn’t it?    At what point do we stop respecting other people’s opinions and beliefs  because history shows us we sometimes simply have no other choice  you are holding some comfort blanket that allows you to believe we are all equal and all valid and we can simply voice different options - without that ever  impacting on the real world  Were the racists we fought in previous generations different? Were their beliefs patronised by the elites of the time? Or do we learn lessons and avoid mistakes of the past?   racists/bigots having “just as much to say” is both true and yet, a thing we have learnt from the past. The lesson was not “ooh let’s hear them out. They sound interesting and valid and as worthy of an audience as people who hold the opposite opinion” 
    • I don't have a beef with you. But I do have a beef with people who feel that a certain portion of the public's opinion isn't valid.  I don't like racism any more than anyone else here. But I do dislike the idea that an individual's thoughts, beliefs and feelings, no matter how much I may disagree with them, are somehow worth less than my own.  And I get the sense that that is what many disenfranchised voters are feeling - that they are being looked down upon as ignorant, racists who have no right to be in the conversation. And that's what brings out people on the margins and drives them towards extremes, like Reform.  Whether you like it or not, the racist, bigot, anti-european nextdoor to you has just as much say in the country as you do. Intellectual superiority is never going to bring them round.
