THEY ARE ALL THUGS FOLLOWING EACH OTHER LIKE SHEEP. THE FAR-RIGHT SAYS DO THIS, AND THEY ACT. GET EDUCATED.

I'm just going to shout something for a second, begging everyone's pardon.

it's SHILLS.

That's better.

Oh I know but PP said "shrills" and I was quoting them. "Shill" is troll hunting which I'm sure PP didn't mean to do ie TAAT and troll hunting. I'm sure they are bigger than that

Who are the shrils on the Labour isn't working thread?

On the Starmer thread you referenced.

Yes the Pro Palestine flag wavers are like a flock of sheep.

100% this. They're so tedious, and most have ZERO connection to Palestine. And the hatred for Israel from some is fierce.

Hiding the thread, NOW.

SIGH........ Another thread to hide. They're like whack a mole on here this past few weeks. 🙄

One thing I don’t really get is what the right-wing are actually expecting to happen?

Labour have already committed to ending the use of hotels and HMOs for asylum seekers, reopened dialogue with Europe on migration and are trialling schemes which may or may not work, pledged to invest in border security and started making changes to existing legislation. In just a year they’ve made asylum processing more efficient, deportations are up and net migration has halved.

But then it’s easy to ignore reality when the main media outlets in this country spend every waking moment telling us how awful everything is and how the only solution is to hand over more of our rights to a man in the pocket of the billionaire robber barons.

It feels like a lot of people on the right just want every asylum seeker, or anyone with brown skin, rounded up and thrown out of the country tomorrow tbh.

Yanbu

Its terrifying

Whats also terrifying is the loudness of these far right psychos on mumsnet, thinking that their views are anything but insane 🤢🤢

😂

ilovesooty · 06/09/2025 12:17

twistyizzy · 06/09/2025 10:47

Unlike the Labour shrills on the Starmer threads or on here then?

Think you are misunderstanding what I am saying here. It isn't really a thread to discuss the government - in fact the first couple of posts on the latest thread ask for people who don't hold the same views to stay away. Many angry posts, disinformation. people who dare to share a different view being shouted down..many of the same individuals posting over and over again..do these people not have lives, why do they constantly post on MN?

This is a public forum. You can't dictate who posts on a thread.

QueenOfHiraeth · 06/09/2025 08:29

One could say the same of people who post ignorant comments suggesting people who have a different opinion to them are part of some giant homogeneous group.
Education is needed by some on both sides of whatever debate it is you think you are having here

👏👏👏

twistyizzy · 06/09/2025 10:52

I would concentrate on why Labour are doing so badly and lobby them to improve, rather than just blame other threads on MN. If Labour were doing great then we wouldn't need a "Labour aren't working" thread would we?
Fix thine own house etc

Well that's extremism for you. Not a phenomenon exclusive to the right. Some people are thoughtless idiots. Twas ever thus.
Current climate scares me though.

smallglassbottle · 06/09/2025 11:56

MrsSkylerWhite · 06/09/2025 11:51

Farage and Yaxley-Lennon, as examples?

But many people on the right see these two for who they are and reject them. Other right wingers perhaps aren't so bright and won't be able to see through their spiel.

Ermmm OK. I'm going to bet that the OP doesn't come back!

We can but hope they don't.

they can go shout elsewhere.

Rainydayinlondon · 06/09/2025 11:52

I’m centrist and would say that it’s the Lefties that are FAR more insulting, calling everyone who queries immigration levels as a Racist.

They say that it’s possible to have a “reasoned” discussion about immigration, but bat down any suggestions that it’s at too high a level with the R word.

I just think it’s going to all go horribly wrong… the UK will struggle in terms of infrastructure and integration and the thugs will become emboldened.

FWIW I think that 20 years ago, Britain was a far nicer and more culturally cohesive and accepting place to live in.

MrsSkylerWhite · 06/09/2025 11:52

Spookyspaghetti · 06/09/2025 09:08

The right is a non homogeneous group whose views should be respected. (within reason) The far right is made up of mostly prescribed groups because they threaten the laws of our country and often support terrorist actions. We should stop pandering to the far right and letting them think their opinions are valid and equal.

This.

MrsSkylerWhite · 06/09/2025 11:51

xanthomelana · 06/09/2025 08:40

What I find terrifying is people who think their views are right and anyone else who thinks differently is wrong.

Farage and Yaxley-Lennon, as examples?

I think you are BU only because of the CAPITALS and the shout. However The right-wing shrills are everywhere on MN at the moment - 'Labour is not working' being a prime example. Lots of opportunity to spread disinformation under a banner of 'let's have a friendly discussion about the government'

Totally! The far right wing on here tend to be single minded, obnoxious and descend very quickly into insults but the ‘lefties’ tend to not (in my opinion from reading mumsnet regularly). So I say fuck it and let’s have some shouty, personal, generalisations from the left for a change….. Maybe it’ll readdress the balance somewhat :-)

smallglassbottle · 06/09/2025 11:37

The right may have their problems, but it feels like this government are dragging us all to hell. It's going to get worse as well, so hang onto your hats.

People swallow the rhetoric that Left = Virtue and the Right = Greedy and Evil. This is simply not the case and history has shown us that the Left can be authoritarian, intolerant, cruel and self serving just like anyone else.

Desperate to know who the 1% are who think it’s going great

They are all on MN!

Labraradabrador · 06/09/2025 11:20

twistyizzy · 06/09/2025 10:57

@Mollybarbaracom here are Labour approval ratings etc
1% think Labour are doing a really good job and fewer than 1% think things will get much better in the next year. The majority of people polled think the country is in a bad state at the moment and that it will get worse in the next year.

Maybe the problem isn't everyone else......? Maybe it's you?

Desperate to know who the 1% are who think it’s going great
