To Suggest That The UK Needs A Revolution.........

...before it's too late?

A rudderless govt, bereft of talent, drifts from one mess to another, with a leader now incapable of delivering her key objective and the will of the people: Brexit.

Her Majesty's Opposition a hopeless rabble controlled by incompetent far-left revanchists.

The high reaches of the culture commanded by an equally obscure clique of metropolitan liberals, in thrall to the excesses of deranged American identity politics and engaged in a war with the Labour party and the wider country.

Brexit being eaten away and attacked by unelected continental foes such as Guy Verhofstadt, and internal fifth columnists such as Tony Blair, against whom the British public have no champions.

Freedom of speech not protected by constitution and being eroded as evidenced by Count Dankula case, etc.

Border control rejecting thot conservatives in favour of Jihadi Beatles.

Rape gangs roaming up and down the country with apparent impunity with no one doing anything to protect our children.

Defence budget now insufficient to control national interests. No coherent independent foreign policy or even an understanding of what that might be commensurate of global standing.

Foreign agents conducting clandestine operations with impunity on shore aided by domiciled piratical oligarchs ensconsed in plusher parts of the capital city.

Land not owned by Duke of Westminster owned by middle east petro-crooks (see also football clubs).

House of Lords now a placeholder for party appartchiks and leftist lunatics acting against the will of the people.

The House of Windsor now a middle class-celebrity circus, incapable of acting for the interests of its subjects.

The great medieval university colleges now social justice laboritories, being eaten away from the inside by identity politics.

Who is with me? Bring your own pitchfork

Much more than 3/4 vote in the GE.

Mightymucks · 03/05/2018 13:18

Sorry, more than 1/4

Are you raving mad or just a bigot?

Notthemessiah · 03/05/2018 13:27

A classic example, dear potential revolutionaries, of the kind of person who are actually damaging the country.

Absolutely - it's not the insular, racist, fear-mongering little Englanders at all.

Make Britain Great Again (and take the world back to the 19th century while you're at it).

I'm neither.

Under the new regime, accusing someone of racism, without due cause or evidence, will be a criminal offence.

Too many times people try to close down the argument by saying "that's racist" and far too many people are too cowardly to stop and say "no it's not racist"

Ah, this thread is a perfect example of the polarisation of British politics.

People suggesting violence to get their own way and chucking insults at each other. Sad state of affairs.

A4710Rider · 03/05/2018 14:11

People suggesting violence to get their own way

Who did that then?

Notthemessiah · 03/05/2018 14:12

And under my regime, trying to hide your racism by saying 'its not racism, its about integration' would be rewarded with a sharp smack on the bottom (because I'm not a fascist, so I'm against criminalising speech).

You do realise that by saying you only like the ones who think and act like you, that's kind of, just a teeny bit racist?

A4710Rider · 03/05/2018 14:16

...and where did I say that?

Why are you lying?

Well my rapist was white British. I hate the idea of Brexit since it's going to screw the country over and make the UK less important. Freedom of speech is still valid (incitement of violence should be banned). Royals have never really cared (Richard the Lionheart didn't even speak English and hated the country). And having a revolution to put a dictator in place has never worked out well. Especially for the dictators family.

Mightymucks · 03/05/2018 14:25

Revolutions have a tendency to get a bit fighty.

Notthemessiah · 03/05/2018 14:26

Oh come on - you know that's exactly what you meant when you said that there would be no more immigration until the ones that were here had 'integrated'.

Please, you're really not a good enough troll to be quite that disingenuous.

A4710Rider · 03/05/2018 14:28

Pray tell, why are you using a Royal from almost a 1000 years ago as an example?

Indeed, but no one here was suggesting violence, I'm thinking more of a Velvet Revolution?

So you're saying that immigrants don't need to integrate?

Yeah, really sorry if the rape of tens of thousands of our children and the communities that protected and enabled the rapists could do with a touch more integration.

Your OP suggested that the Royal Family is incapable of acting in its subjects interests as though it was something new and therefore worth including in your rant. I can happily provide countless examples of royalty having done so throughout the ages. Unless you want to include other age old non valid reasons. I believe it rained yesterday - to the barricades for boiled eggs!

pigsDOfly · 03/05/2018 14:36

A4710Rider. How the hell does my 'attitude' as you call help assist people like the vile men who abuse those young girls.

You know nothing about my attitude towards them. Or anything about me or my life.

Your post is full of hyperbole and exaggeration. And frankly I can't take someone who comes out with such overblown ridiculous statements seriously. What you wrote makes it sound like there are huge gangs of men running around the streets of this country raping women, which is what I thought you meant.

Anyway, I'll leave you to go on living in your strange overblown world. I'm hiding this thread because I find your words to me offensive in the extreme, that and the large dollop of racism that's behind your thread.

A4710Rider · 03/05/2018 14:38

Yes, that's pretty much what is happening, although is mainly young children, not women.. Somehow that makes me a racist.

I get the feeling A4 has got confused with the sad statistics behind sexual abuse and marathons...

CountArthursgroupie · 03/05/2018 14:43

I pretty much agree with the OP. And I didn't vote in the last election because there was simply nobody I could support. Still, there's a royal wedding and - oh look, there's a squirrel!

A4710Rider · 03/05/2018 14:44

1400 young women abused in Rochdale, a figure soon to be dwarfed by the abuse in Telford...and you want to make jokes and call people racist?

I think the scariest part is that you probably think you're quite clever.
