Yes. Would you prefer it if everyone to the left of Tony Blair was called ‘communist’ or ‘Stalinist?’ … Or constant euphemisms to ‘1930s Russia’ whenever Zach Polansk mentions a wealth tax…

Apparently there wasn’t any according to the lady at ticket office I spoke to.

Right, so because asylum applicants can’t be 0, weeks have to put up with tens of thousands per year? It is this logic that demonstrates why immigration policy has got completely out of control. Operationally, the Royal Navy think they can stop the boats and implement an Australia style policy...

As @PVA shared earlier, the true definition of fascism is now, as Orwell called it back in 1946 ‘something not desirable’. When you have UK parliamentarians are calling Shabana Mahmood’s policies ‘fascist’, its meaning has long since been debased.

Ironically, most of this applies to socialism too...

What boxes does he tick? You keep saying this phrase without defining the rule of the game. Fascism, like communism is a totalitarian ideology and frankly, if you want to make the argument the USA 'ticks the boxes' for a totalitarian state, be my guest - just don't expect to be taken seriously.

It is leftists who unironically call conservatives 'fascist' when the ideology developed as a result of splits in the socialist movement over support for WW1... No, its just pretty clear you don't really understand the development of fascism and what it actually is. Otherwise, you wouldn't call...

We know the obvious racial policy differences. But, since you're throwing around terms, broadly speaking the economic differences are surprisingly sparse and both of whom nationalised a lot of Italian/German industries and, broadly speaking state control, state planning and centralisation of the...

Ok, what's the difference between Mussolini and Hitler in your view? If you'd studied the origins of fascist parties, you'd find that they are often formed as a result of a split with a 'socialist' parties...

Let’s get this straight: Trump = fascist Fuentes = neo-Nazi In your view, what’s the material difference between the two?

No, I wouldn’t be calling Starmer a fascist. On a v fundamental way, you’re not only missing the point I’m making, you’re proving it right. If you want to call Trump authoritarian or dictatorial, then use those exact words. George Orwell decried that ‘fascism’ no longer has a meaning because...

We were talking about Farage/Reform mind. This is exactly what I’m talking about, someone can be authoritarian without being fascist. Trump has upheld the constitution so far and is not a fascist. Any insistence that he is looks ridiculous when he’s governed for 5 years now. The fascist line...

Zarah Sultana came out and called Labour asylum polices ‘fascist’ in parliament. SBD had just compared a Farage government to 1930s Germany and Hitler. That narrative has been copied and pasted from various figures on the left, be it Labour left, Your Party/Independents, LD or Greens.

The modern left has given up on arguing policy, it just either calls everyone they don’t like Nazis. Net migration was 50k in 1997, the Huma Rights Act wasn’t on the statute books and I’m pretty sure we weren’t living in a dystopian fascist country. Farage, Tice and Zia Yusef are all...

You make this claim as if the UK is the only European country facing the issue of illegal migration. The UK was a net recipient of asylum seekers under Dublin Framework and as it happens, this framework has ensured that EU frontier countries (Spain, Portugal, Italy and Greece) are incentivised...

What’s that got to do with anything? Under the Dublin agreement, we were net-receivers of illegal migrants. The small boats crisis began in 2018 before we’d even left and likewise, the EU has its own problems with illegal migration. The Australian points style system introduced by Boris...

What the voters actually want is 0 illegal immigrants. You scoff at the Australian and Danish models of dealing with migration without really acknowledging there’s a problem at all. This is genuinely “crisis? What crisis?!” thinking. In light of Mahmood’s plans to increase ILR to 10 years, the...

He seems to be getting on quite well to be fair! He’s a player that probably has a lot of upside in the right environment. However, the stats are pretty damning for him in his time with us. We kept v few clean sheets whenever he played and whilst defending is a team effort, the correlation of...

No, but if we’re not signing players to take us forward, what’s the point? In Jan, we really can’t afford to sign ‘project’ players, they need to be starting calibre I doubt there’d be many J-League players who can come in and start for top Championship from Day 1. The standard of the league...

For the audience, what was net migration in 1986?
