Politicians/campaigners you have changed your mind about.
 
Nigel Farage and Tommy Robinson.

My opinion has changed vastly for the better.

Starmer, a while ago i thought he was mostly harmless but now I see him as a dangerous snake in the grass going this way and that depending on where the wind of popularity blows

Very few I change my minds on except for liking them.more or liking them less.
Or not at all liking them.

For the Cons, I have warmed to Robert Largon.for one.

For Labour, Rachel Reeves actually irritates me now.
While I admired her before when Shadow Work and Pensions in Miliband's time as leader

The LibDems really now massively impressed with Layla Moran.

The Greens, always liked Caroline Lucas but now don't like at all Carla Denyer.

Nigel Farage, I dislike him.more now than during the EU referendum.
Richard Tice I cannot take to as well.

Both the new leaders of Plaid Cymru and SNP ( Stephen Flynn), I really don't like them at all now.

Jesus I am pretty stable on

obviously if he comes back and there is the Rapture that would swing me more into the favorable in case I was cast into the fiery pit (with you)

What's happened to you recently, Kate? Has anything happened IRL to have you switch your political views 180 degrees?

It's ok to be right wing if that's what you believe, but I'm just wondering if there has been an incident. Those 2 are not good people.

Cherie 30-05-2024 12:17 PM

I'm struggling to believe any of these politicians, they all make the right noises then never follow up, all power and money mad...

We have had one leaflet though the door...Labour, there are a few vote Labour signs up but apart from that you wouldn't think there was an election going on around here

that is not true both a fine people who are putting their neck on the line to make the UK better

Just because you don't like them does not mean that there must be some thing wrong with Kate

honestly, how arrogant can you be!

I said it was ok to be right wing, but let's look at these 2.

Robinson was EDL, and there are loads of videos out there of him being directly and openly racist.

Farage is a coward. Doesn't run for office, just stands on the sidelines trying to dirty the discussion, and lied lots of the country into the single greatest act of self sabotage in modern history (brexit). and Was a known Nazi to his his teachers, famous for singing hitler youth songs to a Jewish classmate; he doesn't seem to have strayed too far away from those views, even using Nazi ideology in a famous brexit campaign poster.

I didn't say there was anything wrong with Kate, I asked whether something had happened to make her go from supporting tolerance, to supporting intolerance.

Crimson Dynamo 30-05-2024 12:28 PM

I wonder if the SNP will have the brass neck to come round the doors! :laugh:

You get props on TiBB for outwardly expressing right-leaning views and there's no real opposition.

Beso 30-05-2024 12:37 PM

I like that racist, what's her name..abbot, yeah that's it, Diane Abbot..the IRA supporter. Love her now.

Do you remember our discussion on the existence of a tibb hive mind/echo chamber?

Redrose 30-05-2024 12:43 PM

None of them. Why did you change your mind on those 2 grifters.

smudgie 30-05-2024 01:00 PM

Not really.
Our local lad is brilliant. Does loads for the area and out canvassing all the time.
Not too happy about the Labour Party candidate and how he was selected.

it's a democracy, so you are free to support any legal political entity, but i hope you do understand that they sit at the extreme end of british politics, and history has shown that extreme politics don't work out well for anyone

Kate! 30-05-2024 02:05 PM

I am not a racist. I have friends from other countries.

Nigel Farage is not extreme ffs :joker:

and can you tell me about all the successes of middle ground politics say in the last 30 or so years?

how is our education system, health sector and housing sector doing?

Kate! 30-05-2024 02:12 PM

I'm totally with LT on this.

There are a couple of falacies in this post.

Firstly, there hasn't been any middle ground politics in the last 15 years, we've had a hard right ideological government. That said, the middle ground of politics is just protectionism for the centre-right, so it's also bit of a myth tbh.

Austerity and Brexit have destroyed the education and health sectors, and the housing sector is suffering because of the ideological enthralment to shifting wealth upwards at the expense of those at the bottom/in the middle,.

All things which Starmer has vowed to continue, under the guise of "tough choices."

Diane Abbott says very racist things, gets sent on a course...not racist anymore.


Tommy Robinson, once a racist always a racist.

I love the lefts way of thinking, not thinking.

As you've tried this a couple of times now, let's play. What are the very racist things Diane has said?
