I want Alf Garnett back on the television.

Let's delve further into this then; what is political correctness stopping you from saying that you want to say?

Quote:

Expressions of hatred toward someone on account of that person's colour, race, disability, nationality (including citizenship), ethnic or national origin, religion, gender identity, or sexual orientation is forbidden.[1][2][3][4] Any communication which is threatening or abusive, and is intended to harass, alarm, or distress someone is forbidden
Not sure why you think the hate speech laws are bad, but are there any in particular from the list above that you feel particularly aggrieved about not being able to use?

Censorship existed before Brexit and it will exist post brexit.

Which institutions do you feel are the best examples of far left lunacy run amok?

Just need your help defining exactly what political interference is harmful in your d2d life?

It's not a case of wanting to say it, it's a case of being free to say it, if I did want to.

Can you help me out with the major differences, because I can't see it. If you want the option to say something that you don't want to say, then how is that adversely affecting your life in any way whatsoever?

Any chance you can reply to the other points I made?

If you can't see it, then no, I can't help you out.

Doesn't the fact that our politicians are ignoring the democratic will of the people bother you at all?

That's fair, I just hope that now you see the folly of calling other people NPC's when you're just regurgitating meaningless platitudes you've heard someone else on the internet say.

That to me?

What I see is that Brexit as promised was an impossible task, because it was based on lies and deceit from the start. I genuinely think that the government has tried to actually get it through, but there isn't a better deal on the table than the one we already have with the EU.

All politicians are self-serving; some more than others, and pushing a bad Brexit through will harm their own careers, and I'm pretty sure they know it's going to be bad.

They have a responsibility to try and make the country as prosperous and healthy as possible, and I do actually understand the frustrations of brexiteers (I don't agree, but I do understand), but I struggle to see why generally good folks who voted to leave with the best intentions of the country in mind (from their perspective), now try and force something through that will be bad for everyone, because brexiteers feel like they won something, as opposed to trying to make the country better.

If I used a quote, I'd be able to tell you exactly why it was relevant to anything I was posting, what it actually meant, and how I could explain the same thing in my own words.

There is a subtle difference, if you can just repeat other peoples words without understanding them then you haven't learned anything, in the same way a printer isn't a poet or playwright if it prints out Shakespeare.

You know what NPC means and you know why I'm using it.

It's used as an insult to progressive, social justice, snowflakes.who all think the same. And I like taking the Pi55.

I thought it was gaming language for non-playable character; so in other words, someone mindless who is programmed to do the same thing over and over.

I thought we were actually trying to have a constructive conversation.

Idc what you call me. But it does show you're getting rattled if you need to resort to name calling.
You can't even argue in favour of what you want, let alone win the argument.

Of course I know what it means. NPC's are the sort of background zombie like characters. In games like GTA. that all do and say the same things

I was talking about your inability to explain your perspective on things like hate speech, or areas the left wing institutions really hurt your life.

It is but it's come into popular usage to basically mean someone who has "stock opinions" or follows the crowd (i.e. they'll repeat things they've heard other people saying but they don't actually understand what they're talking about / have no original thoughts on it, so when questioned they just keep repeating the same things, like an NPC in a game).

To say that it's just "used to describe SJW's / lefties and stuff" is wrong, though, it applies as a term to people from all parts of the political spectrum. Plenty of Brexit / Trump NPC's around, for example.

What arguments this? The Brexit argument?

The side I voted for won the argument, but now we're being stopped by the losers, who are to selfish and spoilt to accept defeat.

Tbh, any argument. But here, in this thread, it is Brexit.
We voted to join in the 70s but your side couldn't accept that so it's you who are losers who had to reopen the issue.

Remainers will never accept you taking the country for a dangerous ride bc your hatred of the EU trumps any common sense. That's what patriots do, protect the country against harm.

Nobody won, Alf. We will all win, or all lose. Us losers have no power to do anything, we signed a petition and marched, none of which has had any impact on the PM.

I'll make a suggestion now, and it's up to you what you do with it; why don't you look into what was sold to you, and hold the people that lied accountable rather than blaming people who have no power.

We're not your enemy; Farage, Johnson, Davis, and R-M who lied and stand to profit from this while our GDP drops, are the people you should be angry with.

You were conned, but we've all been conned at some point in our lives as no one is immune.
