Laura wants to be careful around our resident James Bond.

I'd be fine with them banning ALL of the tabloids from official press stuff, because all of the tabloids are... Not journalism... And already a disaster for democracy.
But banning the ones that usually oppose them whilst still allowing the ones that usually support them like The Sun and Mail? Very, very concerning.

This is what Tory voters voted for, a slow maniacal erosion of democracy and our rights. I hope hysteria over immigration and the EU was worth it.

You ain't gonna win back power with these tactics. These snobbish tactics are exactly why you keep losing at the ballot box.

"People vote for the Tories and Brexit because they're thick."

"Yup - and we're thick enough to keep doing it to prove a point, so take THAT Mister Smarty pants!!"

Right Wing politics is all about cutting off their nose to spite the face that are the 'libs'.

It's all about 'owning the libs' and nothing more. It's childish.

You can't convince a cult to do anything and I have no interest in trying. Boris could **** in the breakfast of Tory voters and they'd treat it like a gift from god. The only thing to be done now is to constantly remind those voters that they voted for every **** thing that's coming their way. It's not because of the EU, immigrants, the unemployed, labour, remainers, it's because they voted for it and they'll get exactly what they voted for.

The fact you think that politics is a sport where you, as a voter can 'win' by getting your own way is part of the larger problem. Politics is not a sport. Parties shouldn't be worshipped like football clubs, they are meant to work for us, we are not meant to idolise them.

I'm not saying you think I did, but just to be clear, I didn't vote Tory.

I'm just saying, your tactics of calling all Tory voters dumb, is not going to work.

Tactics would assume I'm playing a game, politics isn't a game, as I made clear in the last post. I don't think the public will ever wake up to what the Tories are doing now, if the past ten years weren't enough to set the alarm bells ringing then we're destined to become a one party state. All that's left to do now is remind people of their mistakes constantly.

I hate the media, it's so effing biased in favour of Tories.

Notice how after Johnson won ,then little stories came out about more corruption in their party which they kept hush .

Johnson can't take any criticism , he's a bumbling idiot that only responds to people kissing his bum.

Him & Trump are like twins seperated at birth!.

I'm not quite arrogant enough to believe that anything I do or don't say has any effect on national politics. We're just dust in a thunderstorm, brother.
