You're literally part of this group you senile cuck LMAO. You can't see it can you Count. If posters don't tow the Labour/Commie party line then clique kicks into action. Try posting what you really think and not what you think the clique would like you to post. Thankfully I was warned a few weeks back. You sound totally paranoid mate. You're posting your views. People are responding. You're then responding back. What the hell is wrong with you? This is how political discourse happens. Can I remind you, that very much earlier in this thread I actually agreed with one of your critiques on a particular Labour policy. If you post something I agree with I will tell you. You should give people a little bit more credit. At some point though you're going to have to admit that it's you with the problem here. Not us. I'll leave the final word to the moderator of Drummerworld when I took the hump over one of their strikes against me a few years back (ironically I had veered INTO politics which is strictly verboten over there)... "if you don't like it friend, leave with our best wishes".

The thread could definitely benefit from right wing posters capable of factual, rational argument, so could Parliament, there don’t seem to many in the country, never mind on here. I'd really welcome that. Honestly. They seem incapable though. There are strong right wing arguments behind all the issues we are discussing, from house building, to reducing the back log of asylum seekers, to lowering NHS waiting lists. Andrew Neil in particular has written a number of complimentary articles about what the new government are trying to do. If you deal with the issues - even if it costs money in the short term, it will deliver major economic benefits and drive massive cost savings. Luckily Rachael Reeves and the Labour government seem to be able to grasp these, even if the Tories and right wing posters on here can't.

TVOR
Labour is a Commie party? I am sure John McEnroe would have a phrase for that.

TVOR Labour is a Commie party? I am sure John McEnroe would have a phrase for that. Stock-in-trade insult for a right winger to cast when someone disagrees with their stance on machine gunning asylum seekers. Or, on the less extreme side of the right, using hovercrafts to blow them back to Calais I mean. Weirdly it's not even an insult. I have a mate who's a literal Communist. One of the nicest guys I know. Not remotely extreme. Just a different world-view than I. I'd be happy to be called a Communist if I was a Communist (which I am of course, because I've been rumbled and my mask pulled aside). It's just...weird. Right wingers don't know how to insult alongside being shite at memeing to.

While I’m enjoying the discussion, this is in danger of becoming a bit of a playground argument.
tvor, please cut out the ‘China virus’ nonsense. If you have to aso why, please familiarise yourself with the t&cs. And grow up with the ‘please tell Nik I don’t read his posts’ stuff. Either respond to him and debate like an adult or ignore it.
FWIW, there is no clique. There’s no secret WhatsApp group. I can’t speak for others but I properly know about 5-10 people off this board in person, and could point out a similar number but don’t know them to speak to.
There’s no conspiracy. Nobody has been banned for having different political views. Plenty have been banned for being nobheads though, and anyone being a nobhead will go. Me and TRE are the judge and jury. We make it quite clear it’s our party and can throw anyone out whenever we like.
Properly debate the topics or give it a rest. Just posting off-topics responses and dumb memes isn’t constructive.

Online isn't like in the pub, the office, or the kitchen - you can't just talk over people

Sorry it's a bit off topic, but does anyone know how to post Twitter links so they appear within the message on here? Not just as a link?

"Circle" is probably a better explanation. If I were a right winger I'd probably call it a bit of an echo chamber. It isn't of course. But it's definitely majority evil leftie. And the view of the world that you and your fellow small cabal of people on here have will always get challenged. If you don't like, or want, that then you're probably best staying 'across'. it's definitely a bit of an echo chamber.
In real life, I'm a pretty standard issue soft left economically / liberal, but not progressive culturally in political terms. On this thread, I'm one of the further right of the regular posters.
Problem is whenever an actual right winger turns up, they either (a) post a few times, but then take their leave from the thread, as it's not much fun being the only one making one side of the argument, or (b) are fundamentally incapable of having thoughts of their own or engaging in any sort of debate, and just post shit memes they've seen, making 'pwning the libs' their goal as if they were a 15 year old American edgelord.
I'd love a few more from group (a), but it would need to be 4 or 5 posters to make it work.

Well, they're here, so all they have to do is post constructively.
