Let me tell you something, you know the people who are responsible for Corbyn being unelectable? You.

Oh great, a rant.

You sneer at everyone who has the nerve to disagree with what Corbyn has to say, literally talking down to people like they are stupid for holding different opinions. People are tired of being told they are completely wrong for being worried about the unintended consequences that many of these policies tend to have. You defend completely batsh*t insane Labour policies to the hilt, that even the more moderate Labour supporters on here disregard.

This is just not true. I defend Corbyn when he is being unfairly criticised - as he has been, often, by you - and criticise him and Labour policies (and Labour) at other times. As for "people are being told they are completely wrong for being worried about the unintended consequences that many of these policies tend to have", sorry but that is not why you get criticism.

You want to know the worst thing though? You actually think your political beliefs make you a better person than others. You literally don't get that the backlash to Corbyn is because of zealots like you who whinge, belittle and gripe to the point where it's actually hard to take him seriously.

I am not sure how on earth you get to that point about me thinking my political beliefs make me a better person than others, given that we've never met or indeed had any contact apart from on here - and if anyone is doing things like whinge, belittle and gripe here then why is it me rather than the person who is calling other people zealots, batsh*t insane, cultists etc. Why do you think people will engage respectfully when those terms are used to refer to them?

You want to get people to vote for Labour stop acting like a superior to people. It's grating. As someone thats a floating voter in this election, your attitude (among other Labour supporters) puts me completely off voting for Labour. I completely want to stop Brexit, but if I'm then putting someone into Downing Street who seemingly is putting ideology above the realities of the economy and the way British society is structured then I'd rather not vote at all.

Floating voter? I'd have more time for this argument if you hadn't been slating him (and Labour) for ages. Also, and not to sneer, but I am not sure that you not voting is going to result in Downing Street not being occupied by someone who puts ideology above the realities of the economy and the way British society is structured, if anything it makes it more likely and you won't have stopped Brexit.

So save me the dramatics sweetheart, start thinking about how YOU are representing the politics that you want people to vote for.

What, by agreeing with your posts? I'll do that when I agree with them.
 
I mean, you did exactly that. You didn't have the courage to admit it then, and you still don't now.

Here it is for anyone who can't see what a rank hypocrite this individual is https://www.grandoldteam.com/forum/threads/2017-general-election.95980/page-39#post-5400547

Ah yes - ten years and thousands of posts wiped out by one post which still doesn't say what you claim it says, and which had nothing to do with "it's about people who don't agree with him being instantly grouped into the Old Blue 2 / peteblue bracket" anyway.

Went back and looked. Not exactly an accurate attack.

Regarding the criticism of social housing, just for balance, this is worth a read:

It ain't what you do, it's the way that you do it - that's what gets results

Absolute stone-cold coward who'll plumb any depths should anyone question your view.
If we’ve learned anything, it should be that we are only allowed to discuss how terrible the Tories/Lib Dems are.

Do not use events as a catalyst for further discussion. This forum now needs to be a Gogglebox style instant reaction to the blunders of those two parties.
 
I don't pay tons of attention to British politics so I could well be wrong but didn't Sajid Javid suggest raising the minimum wage to £10.50 only 2 months ago ?

If so why is everyone pissing themselves over labour now suggesting it ?

God help anyone who votes Greens.

It's absolutely nuts in here during a GE. You've got someone on here tell another Evertonian "Go and read the S*n" and then tries to make out it meant something totally different, too cowardly to own their own spite.

The lib dems are terrible. But not as terrible as the tories. Where I live there is no point voting labour or green, so I will vote lib dem this time and try to get the tories out. The catalyst for this further discussion was the topic of the general election. Is that permitted?
 
Nah he's right to be fair. @tsubaki will even go as far as to call people S*n readers if they have the temerity to disagree with him. It's not about being rattled, it's about people who don't agree with him being instantly grouped into the @Old Blue 2 / @peteblue bracket - and we wouldn't call them S*n readers out of spite either.
For what it's worth @tsubaki and I have disagreed on here in the past, but they've always seemed pleasant enough.

Because the tories' mates control the media (apart from the Guardian - preaching to the converted, and the Mirror - coming a bad second in the tabloid race). Which is why Tony Blair sucked up to Murdoch first, on the way to being elected, to get the S*n on board.
