Current Affairs 2017 General Election

[Mozza1987]

It was anger at something someone found important.

The reason I gave is easier to believe than somehow believing that man wanted millions dead for a laugh mate.

The guy who shouted down May for calling the election out of self-serving interest was aggressive too - doesn't mean he wants every Tory dead.

Sorry mate but comparing the man seeming to want us to nuke other countries, to the one shouting down May for calling the election out of self-serving interest is a bit ridiculous.

How is it any more ridiculous than believing that guy in the audience wanted millions dead by nuclear weapons ffs

 

[Mozza1987]

He did though, he ducked the question completely - which isn't good enough. It was clear what his mindset was.

And a PM of this country should be prepared to push first if in our national interest. Note the word "prepared" - it doesn't mean they'd actually do it.

For example, if I were PM, I'd say I'd strike first if needed, and definitely retaliate, but I almost certainly wouldn't actually do it if the situation presented itself. But that's the actual point - by saying you'll do it, you ensure you never actually will.

Did he say he would never push it though? Did them words come out of his mouth?

Why do people need to know if he is prepared to push it? Honestly don't get it because if anyone in the world pushes it then we will all be dead anyway. It's the most pointless thing ever for me. Let's worry about the NHS and Educstion first. You know more important things.

So you are saying you would lie to the British public that you would push it, when in fact you wouldn't. I thought we wanted politicians to be more honest with us?

Security is most important issue by far. Safety against terrorism is key.

You are comparing someone wanting to fire a nuclear weapon with someone angry about how May has called the election. It's very different to me.

I wrote an essay on this a few pages back mate.

It's probably the most important point in the election in the grand scheme of things.

That was nothing to do about being safer from terrorism. That was solely about sending nuclear weapons to other countries. Utter ridiculous if you ask me. Security is very important but if any country did push the button then it wouldn't matter as we all would be dead anyway.

Sending nuclear weapons is not an important issues, security from terrorism yes but what they were going on about yesterday has nothing to do with that.

 

[Mozza1987]

They didn't.

They clearly do if they are asking the question mate. They want to know if he would send I nuclear weapon first. That's what they asked him.

I want a nuclear free world. But with hindsight, I believe the existence of nukes is what has kept Europe largely at peace since 45. They stopped a barbaric escalation of the cold war. They are a necessary evil imo. But their purpose is removed if you've someone who wouldn't retaliate to an unprovoked attack on our own people.

Terrorism is only the pressing global threat because nuclear weapons exist to prevent conventional warfare. Without them, terrorism would be a footnote.

It's about the bigger picture and not taking for granted what we have enjoyed.

Zero hours contracts were great at uni. Outright removal is ludicrous. Casual work is vital to students.

the audience last night were clearly a baying mob because he refused to say he would strike first, they were jeering him, it was horrible to see.

Nuclear weapons are a danger to the planet, and yes i get the MAD theory, but i dont agree with it, if we are ever in a position to actually need to use nukes we are all proper screwed and may as well kiss our ass goodbye.

You say nuclear weapons have kept the world safer? hmm if no nuclear weapons exisited do you think North Korea would be trying to develop them? no they would be happy with conventional means. Peace needs to happen, and yes that makes me sound like a hippy but i dont care, i do not want a nuclear war, or even the threat of one. If we had a nuke fired at us, does it really matter if we did or did fire back? we would be screwed anyway.

I agree with corbyn and i am sickened that a lot of the public are happy to kill people indiscriminately with a nuclear weapon, proper sickens me.

The audiences at every single debate have been criticised by whichever side didn't like the reaction at the time, that is how it is and how it has become and will remain that way. Get used to it.
