Forgive my ignorance, but where did I personally suggest we were all "singing from the same proverbial Socialist hymn sheet"? If your point of view is one that is "crying out in the wilderness", in the wider public eye it is very easily heard.
You did not need to say it, as a reading of many of the postings that had been made so far would suggest that the RailUK Forums Socialist Male Voice Choir are indeed in good voice...
Socialist rag
That choir description did make me laugh, I'll give you that, but there are plenty of moderate Tories on this forum as well, and many of them appear to be disgusted at the current Government, most especially when it comes to covid restrictions existing (read that section more if you want to find them and get out of this apparent "socialist choir").You did not need to say it, as a reading of many of the postings that had been made so far would suggest that the RailUK Forums Socialist Male Voice Choir are indeed in good voice...
Won't hurt the government as people see MPs and don't just get angry at the Conservative MPs who actually voted to do this, nor at the government who ordered them to.
Despite their masks?You did not need to say it, as a reading of many of the postings that had been made so far would suggest that the RailUK Forums Socialist Male Voice Choir are indeed in good voice...
This is just nonsense. What on earth are you on about?
I am sure the electorate would have deeply considered the point you made at the last General Election and then looked at what the other parties had to offer.
I could have believed your point of view if corruption was only to be found in the government of this country, but against that, I invite you to see that governments of all shades and hues, left and right wing, have suffered from endemic corruption since time immemorial.
Sorry, but just because it happens in other places doesn't make it right, does it?
The one thing I'd disagree with there - me finding myself in broad agreement with the Daily Mail is a once in a blue moon occurrence, and it's a feeling that leaves one feeling distinctly uncomfortable in a 'Through The Looking Glass'-sort of way - is the 'sink back into sleaze' part. Far as I'm concerned, Peterson and his ilk have always been neck-high in sleeze, corruption & self-dealing. Only difference now is that they're being more explicit, overt etc about it than before; in other words, they wear their brass necks with pride.
Being against this sort of behaviour is socialist, is it?You did not need to say it, as a reading of many of the postings that had been made so far would suggest that the RailUK Forums Socialist Male Voice Choir are indeed in good voice...
That's like shrugging your shoulders at an atrocity and saying "well, even in Biblical times, there was bloodshed". You are better than this sort of guff.
It may well have been prevalent in Biblical times, but has carried on through the ages since then. A number of African countries after they gained independence in the 1960s from their former European colonial powers, also found corruption not only at the position of Head of State, but at minor official status.
Nobody is suggesting the MP infringed anyone’s human rights, just that he’s bent and you are perfectly happy with that.
Were the offences something to be tried under Civil Law or Criminal Law?
I don’t know why you keep posting in this vein but it reflects poorly on you and we all know you can do better.
I am shocked, shocked I tell you.
Pretty much underlines my point earlier in the thread. This particular government is utterly appalling.
) believe that the Tories are excelling at Sleaze, corruption and a very impressive lack of integrity.So all of us in this thread (bar one poster
However, and I ask this as a slightly-left-of-centre-person-who-feels-politically-abandoned, where on earth is the opposition? Still eating itself over the lunatic that lost the last election? Where’s the Labour comms machine? Where’s the noise?
I suspect that part of the answer lies in the fact that the Tories and their tax-avoiding billionaire mates have a stranglehold on the press and BBC. But we are being failed by the opposition as well as this ugly, nasty, contemptible, incompetent, sneering government.
Still breaking news, but seems the Government have caved into rethinking things:
Owen Paterson row: Government U-turn over MPs' conduct plan
Labour says the Tory move to cancel Owen Paterson's suspension saw the PM "lead his troops through the sewer".www.bbc.co.uk
I wouldn't be surprised though if this means just delaying it till a time where it will get less attention and go ahead with the same plans, and all the while Owen Paterson will still avoid serving his recommended suspension.
