Current Affairs 2017 General Election

[dandydan]

Ah, Guido. I suppose he has to try and get his reputation for competence and being "ahead of the news" back somehow.

Are they wrong though?

 

[tsubaki]

Are they wrong though?

They are being selective in selecting their examples - so not wrong, but misleading.

For instance, I wonder why they didn't mention the fact that Brown actually bribed the DUP to vote with the Government over 42 day detention?

 

[Clint Planet]

Can we stop with the proddyphobia already!

It's not proddyphobia, it's sectarian-bigotry-disdain.

 

[Clint Planet]

Are they wrong though?

Corbyn's Labour didn't and wouldn't.

 

[dandydan]

It's not proddyphobia, it's sectarian-bigotry-disdain.

No, it's intolerance of religious beliefs. In this country religious freedom is a non negotiable right.

 

[Connor]

Haha no I'd really doubt it. They will be making May wait. They know that she's the desperate one and she needs them more than they need her. Longer it goes the more they'll get out of her. I actually reckon this will fall through inside a fortnight.

Ahh.

It's all stemmed from this ya see:

 

[ToffeeTim]

Ahh.

It's all stemmed from this ya see:

They work Sundays all the time. For context, both unionists didn't turn up that day because SF announced on the Saturday that they wouldn't be appointing a deputy First Minister. And that meant no executive.

There have been instances I've heard of them not turning up to functions until Sunday afternoons after church. Bit it's a free country like and they can go to church if they want tbh.

No, it's intolerance of religious beliefs. In this country religious freedom is a non negotiable right.

I respectfully disagree. The Orange Order is a vile anti-Catholic organisation that provocatively marches through Catholic areas every year. I've experienced Orange Marches at first hand myself in Southport and it has nothing at all to do with God, Jesus or the Bible.

It's part of their cultural heritage, we live in a society where multiculturalism is welcomed so they are free to practise it without persecution

So was slavery. It's a non-argument.

 

[ToffeeTim]

I'd imagine there won't be many talks until Tuesday between May and the DUP because there's crunch talks here tomorrow about restoring the power sharing assembly and all NI politicians will be there.

 

[dandydan]

Equating slavery to marching down a street in a silly hat? The mind boggles.
Just admit you are a bigot and move on.

I'm bigoted against bigotry, yeah. I'm not Catholic, by the way.

Only selectively. Some animals are more equal than others eh?

 

[Clint Planet]

You're all over this place in this argument. Religious freedom > cultural heritage > unsubstantiated ad hominums.

Anyway, sun's out - I'm off to the garden.
