No by my logic if you voted Tory you’re some flavour of right wing or centrist and if you voted Labour you’re some flavour of left wing or centrist. As that’s what those parties are.

Can you just answer the question? You’re clearly desperate to make a point so our with it.

My grandparents were all Labour voters, yet would be considered “far right” by today’s chattering classes (despite two of them being Irish immigrants)

Can you remember a single person on this forum not appalled by the monkey chants at Palmer?

Indont think they think they’re racist. I think they’re far think being anti Islam or anti immigrant is fine and they’re right. But where they start calling everyone of colour an illegal immigrant (or just some people out for a row) and stay leading pogroms against mosques because a Christian black guy in wales killed a kid. Yeah you’re a racist. Sorry. You are judging entire groups based on the colour of their skin. That’s dictionary definition.

Correct - but we’re not about to derail whatever we have left on the world stage by sticking 2 fingers up to a convention that most of if not all of western civilisation is signed up to.

Why not?

It’s about time we started leading western civilisation again

If you can show me a party that has a track record of endorsing sex offenders, then we've got something to talk about. Otherwise this is pointless.

It's what happens when you want to throw out blanket shit like "everybody is racist because they voted for somebody who said a racist thing".

So yeah, if they voted for somebody who supports sex offending then they are sex offenders or support them.

Pretty simple. Let's just hope you didn't vote for one else it's a long way down from the high horse.

OK 🤷🏻‍♂️

I don’t know your grandparents but yeah if they supported far right parties they were far right. But as in their day we kicked the shit out of anyone even looking vaguely far right I guess we’ll never know.

Nick for the love of God who on earth do you think supports sex offending?

Agreed.

Are you including nonsense like “white privilege” in that?

...or it's just internet conspiracy theory nonsense.

Ok. It must just be coincidence that three gay prostitutes took a dislike to Starmer.

It was probably because of the NI increase fucking up their business model.

Yes. Because I am not the cartoon person you’ve invented because of too much social media. This is why I keep telling you to go outside.

“majority privilege” sure. White privilege is a category error IMO.

Go on I need a laugh and Google isn’t providing. Post some links up.

Why would it be a problem if he was gay/bi by the way?

Fair enough

I’m man enough to admit I probably get caught up in some of this social media crap as well, which leads to jumped conclusions.

Do you think that you also fall victim to this?

Wouldn’t be a problem at all. We’ve most probably already had a gay PM and he was a Tory so it’s no big deal.

Not sure employing prostitutes, gay or straight, is something the head of government should be doing though

Yeah man. I’m an ex smoker here. I noticed it when I quit Twitter how much of an impact just being there had. And I definitely have biases and cartoon views of people, made a little harder being the only lefty in a friendship group of Brexit voting reform supporters who works in metropolitan elite London with a load of Labour voting tech workers. But we all do.

My personal trigger warning (lol sorry couldn’t help) is “hey man 50% of the planet is right and 50% left, what are the odds this is a right wing thing and not a human thing?” But I’ve been doing it all through this thread.

I'm not high horsing, Nick. I genuinely don't get why people can't just own their politics and talk about it so we can get away from posts about imaginary politicians that endorse sex crimes and just talk about issues using evidence and facts to back up what we think.

Lowe and Farage are on record as taking racist positions, have said racist things, and stirred up racist actions using racist tropes. I do not get how someone can argue that a vote for them doesn't endorse racism, and suggest that you've probably got racist attitudes.

What’s your issue with western civilisation?

My issue is with the phrase used online. I think western civilisation is great, it’s why things like Brexit, Trump, and the anti immigrant panic that have been pushed by the wests enemies with glee aren’t things I support.

So people who voted the greens at a particular time need to own that by proxy they support sex offenders and endorsed it.

They just need to own it. They probably have attitudes open to hiring nonces.

I give up. I've explained why I think the way I do. You haven't. If you won't back up what you're saying with something credible then it's just shouting at clouds.

Western civilisation has collapsed. It started collapsing in 1918 and reached its conclusion in 2008.
We’re just in the period now where nothing else has replaced it yet.

It took the Romans a few hundred years to realise their civilisation had collapsed. We’re no different.

Just pray what replaces it is better. Early signs aren’t good

It's not collapsed but it's in decline and by the time we're gone I don't think it'll be the dominant force in the world.

I don’t think its decline can now be reversed, which is why I say it’s collapsed.

Up to the 2008 crash I think it could still be saved

I don't think it has, but I do think that the repeated election of right wingers who slowly dismantle the state while stuffing their mates' pockets has a fair bit to do with it. Pity that we seem always more willing to give the right and far right chance after chance in government

Left wing policies destroyed a lot of our industries.
Tony Benn ruined our car industry
