Threads I've read in the last half hour so....
I'm spending more than what a significant part of the UK earns in a year on a holiday
I'm voting Conservative
Owen Jones is a skid mark
I love UKIP immigration policy.

Us Socialists are unwelcome. AIBU? Or am I just reading the wrong bits?

Be happy that such a cross section is represented here? Grin

Plenty of lefty threads IMO though not as unchallenged as they used to be and that's got to be a good thing. Get in there chilephilly, never say die! Can't be the election campaign quite yet, I haven't seen longfingernails around (probably name changed I guess).

Tapwater · 17/03/2015 20:55

I have deliberately avoided those threads.

I'll join you in a gloomy rendition of 'The Red Flag', if you like.

FuckItBucket · 17/03/2015 20:56

I must read totally different threads Grin

I read the pointless ones

  • If they can afford it what's the problem?
  • Some people think they have actually helped sort out some of the mess that Labour left.
  • People are entitled to have opinions
  • Isn't it similar to the immigration policy for countries like Australia?

I suppose you could argue that it's good to learn about how lots of different people live and think.

ClashCityRocker · 17/03/2015 20:57

There's so many posters you're bound to get a wide spread of views.

Even if they are clearly wrong.

I think it makes it more interesting, personally.

Bair · 17/03/2015 20:57

I'm a socialist and think Owen Jones is a skid mark. Not sure if that helps at all?

VacantExpression · 17/03/2015 20:57

I read the holiday thread with green eyes I have to admit haven't been abroad for ten years and likely to be another ten before I do

ClashCityRocker · 17/03/2015 20:58

Who's owen Jones?

AllTheMadmen · 17/03/2015 20:59

What about my Thread wanting Aiden Turner as James Bond, do you despair of that too

MuttonCadet · 17/03/2015 20:59

People are allowed to have different opinions to you.

MangoJuggler · 17/03/2015 21:02

Och, SOME of us are talking about facial hair removal, weirdy furrin foods and impossible inventions of the pipe dream kind.

chilephilly · 17/03/2015 21:02

I don't know All, I don't know who Aiden Turner is. Should I despair?

MangoJuggler · 17/03/2015 21:04

Ooopsie, missed the socialist bit from your Op

MangoJuggler · 17/03/2015 21:05

Ooooops missed the socialist bit in the op

FreudiansSlipper · 17/03/2015 21:06

8k all inclusive in cyprus for two weeks is good value

come on you have to laugh at someone being so out of touch in thinking that is good value unless of course 10 people are going

I take much of what is said on here with a pinch of salt trying to out do others is a past time for many

MangoJuggler · 17/03/2015 21:06

Also fuck off crap-pad. I hate you

Lancelottie · 17/03/2015 21:09

Oh come on, you have to spend £8000 on your annual holiday.
Otherwise what are you going to sacrifice to pay the school fees?

I'm a socialist. Shall we start referring to each other as 'Comrade,' chile?

AllTheMadmen · 17/03/2015 21:12

Am I missing something here, is MN really supposed to be socialist net?

Confused or are MUMS in general supposed to be fans of North Korea, Stalin and Gulags? Confused

atticusclaw · 17/03/2015 21:13

All socialists welcome on the how to survive when the power goes out thread. We are mainly making toilets using cat litter, drinking rainwater and roasting hedgehogs in clay.

In fact any communists would be welcome, we're all in it together!
