Is mumsnet right wing?

[BrilloPadHairball]

There are so many benefits bashing threads on here I’m really starting to wonder. Do the majority of people posting on mumsnet lean heavily to the right?

Exactly, unless you have lived in such an area it’s almost impossible to describe. Although our area in the midlands was fairly affluent we had to move away. It lost its sense of community for us. There was very large scale immigration into the area quite rapidly. All the schools had bulge classes, Kids suddenly couldn’t get into catchment schools bused 30 min away. No attempt to mix outside their community and any extension of friendship rebuffed. You’re certainly not welcome.

By the time we left there were two separate ethnic groups trying to dominate the housing market in the area.

People don’t like you pointing this out. Multiculturalism doesn’t work.

And yes it triggers problems elsewhere- our move to Devon no doubt fed into the house price increase that means it’s harder for you locals to get on the housing ladder. At least we integrated, used local shops made local friends, attend local events, visit local pubs and restaurants, adapted to fit into the local culture. That’s what you do.

@QueenCamilla I just want to remind you that what you're describing is happening under a very right wing Tory government. If you don't like it maybe it's worth looking at their policies that aren't working. @Againname makes a valid point about this.

I’m sure the pp knows what she reads

What do you read?

Interesting @AdamRyan I must tell my relatives in Birmingham that they're now Muslim. They'll be quite surprised.

😂

Honestly. I hate the Internet for people just making stuff up.

Anyway, time for this:

One of the named conspiracies:
The Great Replacement - False claims there is a plan to replace the European white population with ethnic minority groups

I think the reason you "felt unwelcome" could be to do with people picking up on your attitudes towards them.

Luckily you had enough money to leave that area and leave to a naice white area.

Yes it was an example of someone not being anything to do with the current UK.

That's how examples work. This is taking it to its ultimate ludicrous conclusion.

It was obvious don’t worry

Steve Bannon definitely has influence in the UK.

It's even been made into a film!

The ostrich like behaviour of some posters about the financial ties between elements of the British right and the American Christian Right is pretty illuminating in itself.

What did Bannon do? Financed an Internet campaign to magnify right wing view points and make Brexit/Farage seem credible 🤔

Mumsnet HQ are very quick to delete actual transphobia so report if you see any. Oh so you mean not buying into the religious TWAW mantra?

If prioritising women and childrens safety over the wants of men is right wing then the left is truly lost.

Agree. Well said

..

And, where did I say Birmingham is a totally Muslim city? Certain areas of the city are predominantly Muslim, others not. Some are predominantly white.

I am talking solely about the area in which I lived where there was a mix of Muslim and people from Hong Kong buying most of the houses which came up for sale. This is my actual experience. I’m sorry it’s inconvenient to you but posting stupid Foc News link with no commentary for discussion illustrates you inability to debate the point.

Where do you live?

If BREXIT was completely driven by Steve Bannon, and the Christian Far Right, surely the Labour Party would be campaigning to reverse it, no?

I’m sure there are ties between far right groups. What you repeatedly fail to understand that every position right of your extreme left is not “far right” I know you like to claim not but you are part of the issue in radicalising both far left and far right. By just dismissing peoples valid experiences you are radicalising people, you have no room for compromise.

How does that logic work?

Didn't you know, Fox news is based in Digbeth. They just pretend to be in the USA. Come on, do your research.

The good old American Right, whatever they say is right, especially when it underpins and supports things like BREXIT which are fully supported by the Left.

Got it.

If it is a far right campaign, would that not be a sure winner for the Labour Party to win an election on? Being that it wasn't the British Public that really voted for it, but were conned by the Religious Right.

Why aren't they shouting 'We Want Our EU Back You Right Wing Bastards' from the rooftops?

Because it’s too late and far too much time and money has already been wasted on it. The task of the next government is to try to ameliorate its worst effects and negotiate closer ties with Europe. In another decade the country might be amenable to another referendum, in the meantime there’s 14 years worth of damage to try and repair. That’s a big enough task for any government.

What BREXIT damage are they campaigning on?

Are they using the absolutely shitshow of BREXIT as a campaign tool?
