Stock answer to defend the tories is 'Labour are shite, Keir Starmer is rubbish, there's no opposition'.

Discuss it yourself

Why do you feel the way you do

Why do you feel the need to have your ideas validated

On what planet is your thread title not goady

PinkAndPurpleClouds · 08/12/2021 14:03

YABU to say DISCUSS! Hmm

And as a pp said, your thread title is goady.

So bore off.

CouncilHousedAndViolentBaby · 08/12/2021 14:05

🤣🤣🤣🤣Who do you think you are

CloudyStorms · 08/12/2021 14:05

Discuss is this some bizarre exam question?

TooBigForMyBoots · 08/12/2021 14:06

Discuss? Fuck off.

Nope OP. That isn’t how you get a reasoned debate. This isn’t a mock exam.

Asdf12345 · 08/12/2021 14:09

It’s a pretty reasonable response to be fair if you would be a swing voter but still couldn’t vote labour.

That makes no sense. What you had typed would have been submitted when you clicked 'post...'

You clearly just wrote your DEMAND for people to DISCUSS!

CorrBlimeyGG · 08/12/2021 14:15

Why not ask MN to delete this thread and start a fresh one with what you meant to say?

To counter the bs that labour are crap I suggested that Lisa Nandy as minister for levelling up is far superior to Gove. That Emily Thornberry, Chris Bryant and Thangam Debonnaire are as good as, if not better than their opposites and are hardly loony lefties That Starmer may be dull and sensible but is as honest and decent as Theresa May of John Major. But the morally bankrupt shower in government at the moment, that has destroyed multiple industries - mining, fishing, steel, that has stripped the country's infrastructure to the bone, lied, fiddled millions, is somehow better than the Labour Party. If anyone bothered to do research, they'd see that the party was attempting to change and appeal to the aspirational w/c, business owners and young people too. Rather people just repeat tired old cliches.

Starmer is controlled opposition. He's not true Labour. Same as the tory plant Blair. It's all managed by people pulling lots of strings.

KittenCatcher · 08/12/2021 14:22

Yes Miss

UsernameInTheTown · 08/12/2021 14:24

Until Labour re learn what constitutes a woman they can fuck off. As can your 'discuss'.

AliveAndSleeping · 08/12/2021 14:25

I'll bite. I don't think labour at the moment are brilliant but I do think that any member of the labour party is better than any (current) Tory. If you still support the conservatives (or are a Tory MP) then you have proven that you are just an opportunistic and selfish chancer.

I do think that labour and keir starmer could and should be a more effective opposition..it seems that they are trying so hard to.become popular again that they are scared to say anything at all...and might be slipping towards populism as well. Because that's what wins votes.

PronounssheRa · 08/12/2021 14:25

Your first example is woeful. Yes Gove is crap but Nandy thinks any rapists who self identifies as a women should be placed in the female prison estate. Her lack of critical thinking skills and lack of compassion for women is shocking. She should be nowhere near government

flippertyop · 08/12/2021 14:25

What ever you say. As previous poster said - if they don't even know what constitutes the female sex how can they run a country with millions of them?

New Labour was slightly comparable to old Tory maybe but even Tony Blair for all his faults was a saint compared to current shit show running this country. And Gordon brown I think is genuinely a moral and ethically sound person who wants what's best for this country. Just imagine what they UK could have been like if he'd won the election in 2010.

If recommend the BBC documentary on Blair and brown. Forgot the name of it but it's fascinating and it really made me miss labour.

SorryAuntLydia · 08/12/2021 14:29

Maybe Labour can DISCUSS what defines a woman. Let me know when they have an answer that matches reality.

Or perhaps you can DISCUSS why Rosie Duffield isn’t safe at the Labour Party Conference?

Or shall we DISCUSS your manners, op?

DrDinosaur · 08/12/2021 14:30

If they’re stupid enough to believe men can become women they’re too stupid to be trusted with running the country.

I agree with everything else but theresa may was neither decent nor honest. She was responsible for the hostile environment for starters. She drew these crazy red lines and came up with the brexit means brexit nonsense in spite of being a remainer purely to retain power. She's got no morals or integrity. I do feel sorry for how she was treated by the media and her own party but she is not a good person.
