Hypocrisy would seem to be the order of the day . .
Mo's excellent post hasn't resonated with some on NSC i see
It was nothing but windy pie and air pudding. Empty, meaningless drivel. The sort of rhetoric that leave voters mistake for insight.
Hypocritical waffle.
Yes, it's true, I do insult politicians, they often deserve it, never the electorate, but I sometimes take a swipe on here when I'm insulted first, just like everyone else does,.
Well no, I happily insult people on here, especially thicko leavers. And I make no bones about it. If I moaned about being insulted that would be hypocritical.
So yes, you’re wrong.
You’ve just sung the praises of a post saying we shouldn’t insult politicians.
As for insulting people as a form of self defence, well! I’ve heard it all now.
Priceless

The poster had made a serious point about the clear lack of tolerance, and I like to think that he meant that it cuts both ways. With your choice of politicians, it just shows how right he was, as those to the right of you, politically speaking, are the only ones singled out as being apparently dangerous. Corbyn obviously isn't.
Boring, Boring, Boring. 17.4 million thickos,
Don’t forget the thickos that didn’t cast a vote, 17.4 million thick people in the U.K.? Very low estimate I’d say.
Serious question....
Why do you feel the need to insult 'politicians'?
Some individuals like Boris Johnston are self serving liars I grant you, deserving of insults - and maybe there are issues of integrity involving some Remain supporting MPs; but most MPs are getting extreme flak for simply doing the job we elected them to do - and doing it to the best of their ability.

Corbyn isn’t dangerous, he’s just an ineffectual wimp.
Don't worry your little old head about the vein bulging and nostril flaring. None of that here. My post was written quite calmly. You are reading far too much into it.
You are evidently relaxed about Nige and Trump in charge, then. However my post was not directed at you. It was about people who positively and immutably support these charlatans and will do so to their dying breath. Surely you're not one of them?
If we ever lived in an age when politicians like these were widely tolerated, I don't remember it, and I don't hanker for it. Politiciancs used to use the expression 'call a spade a spade' but they rarely ever did. We have had crooks in government in the past (Stonehouse, Archer and others) and they usually end up behind bars. Sadly it will probably take a spell in chokey to break the spell these latest charmers seem to have over people. Perhaps including you?
Anyway, good effort at being patronising.

It is astonishing to me that Gove, I think, said he had to save us from the disaster of Jeremy Corbyn. Is he trying to infer that this Government has been a success? It beggars belief that anyone can swallow this complete BS.
Whichever way you want to look at this Governments achievements regarding the explosion of food banks , the number of children in poverty, the number of homeless, people living on the streets what sort of disaster are you talking about?
I saw a headline recently that said we are approaching the levels of inequality in the U.S.A. Is that our ambition?
Quite. Now is the time for a Tory leader who can show some humility, admit to failings and genuinely try to put some things right.

Is it just their position on brexit that you like? I do not know of their other policies (do they have any?), but based on the comments of individual Brexit Party members, are you for scientific research into curing homosexuality?

Maybe it's about time Farage stood again at a constituency election ? is it five or six times he has failed now ? maybe that's because he very transparent ?
.... don't forget their promise to 'terrorise the political elite' - that's an essential tool of a populist party. They like using violent language to stir up anger and resentment by suggesting that there is a conspiracy to frustrate 'the will of the people', whatever that means.

When you do some digging and research into what the Trump administration has been doing, you realise exactly why people have been gathering to try and enlighten those who may not know.
And to a point, i'm ****ing DELIGHTED that tolerance is disappearing - where there is tolerance, apathy usually lies not far behind, and that's what the politicians want; you to agree and carry on without even questioning what they are doing.
Again in English?
