You do yourself a disservice by trying to denigrate the poster instead of answering the argument of putting forward a view. We all have views, some right some wrong, but we should at least try to listen or hear.......

I reply only to those who aren't coming across like a crazed jack in the box.
 
You're right, the right wing did take advantage and screwed it up. But there still remains the issue of intervention or not. When is it in either the national interest or the interest of humanity, at what point should anyone intervene or should everyone just shrug their shoulders and let them get on with it. I thought it an absolute disgrace and a failing of the UN when the war in Rwanda was allowed to continue with the loss of millions of lives, yet the west didn't seem to give a toss........

The entire notion of intervention is, in one sense, racist. Can you imagine Namibia and Zambia deliberating over the rights and wrongs of intervening in Northern Europe? Sadly, there is no easy solution here but I flinch at the ignoring of Western interests being pursued in all of this....
 
I don't see how Brexit is right wing. Tony Benn wanted Brexit and the left should be voting to leave because of TTIP alone.

It's none of my business really, I'm fighting for an Independent Mercia, free of pesky UK regulation.

Again mate, I agree. It could well be seen as racist, or patronising at least. But we are where we are, with some countries that have the ability, financial and military, to make a difference. Namibia and Zambia have neither, most western countries have both, so that's how it works. It may not be right, but if tomorrow Zambia became the richest and militarily strongest country on the planet, then believe me they would intervene if it was in their interests........
 
I'm with you on that........

Then when that's done I'll be fighting for independence to the point of taking us back into hunter gatherer tribes. Free of pesky regulation.

You could say that I should be voting for an independent United Kingdom. Free of pesky regulation.

I can't tell you what exactly that pesky regulation is with sound mind and reasonable argument, but then that's never really been the point has it?

And they would be wrong to do so.

It's funny how the man of steel principles Jeremy Corbyn has changed his tune, I believe he has deleted all his anti EU blog posts too.
