BREXIT

I see the Government is saying that medicines must be stockpiled for no-deal Brexit on top of Covid-19 pressures. Much like their handling of the pandemic, Brexshit is going to be another Tory catastrofuck and us and our loved ones will be paying the ultimate price for their failures.

Can you educate me in relation to your earlier posts re: anti-Semitism as I am still non the wiser.

I dunno, but clearly the President of the Royal Pharmaceutical Society knows nothing either as she too is expressing concern about disruption to drug supply chains at such a critical time caused by Brexit here 
Perhaps you should get in touch with her and tell her she’s panicking over nothing. 

Must be a slow news day can't find anything major to slag the Tories off.

The book foreword. The mural. Saying British "Zionists" who have lived in Britain "all their lives" "don't understand English irony"..
He praised a book that blamed nineteenth century imperialism on finance houses run by "men of a single and peculiar race".

I’d agree to a certain extent. With Corbyn there were too many diabolical decisions that anyone who didn’t have a childlike political viewpoint couldn’t ignore. The cancel culture of Churchill is a very difficult one on many levels. Was he responsible for Britain’s finest hour? Undoubtedly. Did he harbour some pretty awful views too? Certainly.

I'm surprised that Mark Collett is still into this far-right crap. I remember watching a documentary featuring him and Russell Brand years ago. He just seemed like a lost, frightened boy who had difficulty making friends, and seemed to have been taken in by BNP types who made him feel empowered - a lot like Shaun in This Is England. You sensed he would grow out of it, but he'll be 40 this year so maybe not.

They're the real snowflakes, I've never been in any doubt about that.

I suppose what I meant is that he didn't really come across as that nasty, just a bit insecure and confused, and at an impressionable age. You felt there was hope for him, but sadly it seems he's got worse if anything.

I watched a programme about the KKK a few years ago. The ringleaders were despicable, but a lot of the other members just seemed a bit hopeless. They were lonely, poorly educated people with little prospects in life, and then suddenly they were making new friends and getting titles like the 'Knight' of their village and suchlike. Basically simple, harmless people who had been sucked into something dreadful because they didn't know any better.

You can say much the same about working class Tories. Absolute needy souls who crave the approval of the posh boys and will actively campaign against their own self-interests just to keep the 1% happy. Unfortunately these feelings are far from reciprocated, as the ‘A’ level fiasco reveals: the Tories despise the working class, they don’t care how you vote.

This Government is totally out of control and is now actively harming its citizens. If only we had a functioning Opposition to hold them to account.

I said it’s the furthest right government this country has ever had. I guess a PM calling Muslim women “bank robbers” and black people “picaninnies with watermelon smiles” whilst also deporting black people to places they’ve never been before must fly for normal then.

Liberal and right-wing are not mutually exclusive. American gun laws could be described as liberal, in that more or less anyone who wants a gun can have one, but it's certainly the right over there that support them.

The study you reference refers mainly to social factors not really shaped by politicians. Yes, David Cameron was the PM who legalised same-sex marriage, but he was just in the right place at the right time, when attitudes towards homosexuality were softening through the West, as shown by the Irish public voting overwhelmingly in favour of legalising it as well.

Economically, Boris Johnson's Conservative Party is very far to the right, as this independent website explains.

To an extent, yes, but they largely just mirror society.

And what shapes society? Government, media, etc.
