I think the current Graun (I only read the fashion pages) position on Assange is that he's a dissembling, self-obsessed, anti-semite who should answer his rape charge. They've had a big falling out and all.


If Andy is found guilty it'll be another example of "the help" taking the hit. Just as the Spad "Snowy" Smith did for Tintin.


Right, kids?

Nettie - IMO Cameron's judgement has been pretty much proven terrible as some of his critics said before, he doesn't need anything stuck on him as much as that'd have you wetting your pants.


And if you want to be tribal...Now, War crimes THAT is something that should be stuck on a recent PM and his Head of Communications (and Cambell's downright hypocracy and faux moral outrage in front of Leverson did really make me want to puke) There's two people RIGHT THERE who have done more harm to politics in this country than Cameron has yet had a chance to...bet you weren't banging on aboiut nailing them? They're maggots, Cameron's just a lightweight who seems to be getting worse.

A lot of people "gunning" for coulson and hunt will also have spent much of the last 10 years gunning for Blair. A lot of people hate the stench of corruption regardless of which house it stems from. The liberals on here have largely spent the existence of the forum hating Blair. There is no liberal conspiracy to hate "that" lot and defend "the other" lot



It's one thing to berate tribalism, but very hard to unite when some people appear to be so bent on divisiveness

I have seen numerous post on here and facebook from several (not from your good self I hasten to add) berating anyone who voted Liberal Democrat in the last election whilst I presume many of those beraters voted for a party that in its last two terms rode roughshod over our democracy; introduced a horrible sort of 'presidentism'..withoiut the checks and balances of the US; took media manipulation and spin to a new level including lying to get us into a dodgy war that has cost 100,000s of lives; made changes to our civil rights that had stood for years; etc etc etc...and yet, and yet. "anyone who vpted liberal democrat should take a long hard look at themselves in the mirror"...makes me laugh


The tories communication is so poor that it's almost refreshing :))

    • The current wave of xenophobia is due to powerful/influential people stirring up hatred.  It;'s what happened in the past, think 1930s Germany.  It seems to be even easier now as so many get their information from social media, whether it is right or wrong.  The media seeking so called balance will bring some nutter on, they don't then bring a nutter on to counteract that. They now seem to turn to Reform at the first opportunity. So your life is 'shite', let;s blame someone else.  Whilst sounding a bit like a Tory, taking some ownership/personal responsibility would be a start.  There are some situations where that may be more challenging, in deindustrialised 'left behind' wasteland we can't all get on our bikes and find work.  But I loathe how it is now popular to blame those of us from relatively modest backgrounds, like me, who did see education and knowledge as a way to self improve. Now we are seen by some as smug liberals......  
    • Kwik Fit buggered up an A/C leak diagnosis for me (saying there wasn't one, when there was) and sold a regas. The vehicle had to be taken to an A/C specialist for condensor replacement and a further regas. Not impressed.
    • Yes, these are all good points. I agree with you, that division has led us down dangerous paths in the past. And I deplore any kind of racism (as I think you probably know).  But I feel that a lot of the current wave of xenophobia we're witnessing is actually more about a general malaise and discontent. I know non-white people around here who are surprisingly vocal about immigrants - legal or otherwise. I think this feeling transcends skin colour for a lot of people and isn't as simple as, say, the Jew hatred of the 1930s or the Irish and Black racism that we saw laterally. I think people feel ignored and looked down upon.  What you don't realise, Sephiroth, is that I actually agree with a lot of what you're saying. I just think that looking down on people because of their voting history and opinions is self-defeating. And that's where Labour's getting it wrong and Reform is reaping the rewards.   
    • @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?
