Yes. 100 percent

What like when he screwed the country over with Brexit? The numerous lies he told? Unbelievable....

TheHateIsNotGood · 30/06/2024 20:16

Hi Vlad mate - I've already voted ok so don't waste your time trying to influence me. Not that you could as I don't do smarty-pants phones with my nose in SM all day.

But seeing as you're here on MN, Vlad my little cocker, what's your view of gender ID and safe spaces for women? Now there's a little political hot potato that creates a kazillion threads on MN.

I think the poster was taking the piss.

Bots or no bots, Labour will win the GE comfortably. Reform UK PLC might get 2 or 3 seats. Maybe five if they are lucky and no other candidates resign or are dropped before Thursday.

Reform voters accused of lacking critical thinking by someone who thinks there are Russian bots on here.

Of course there are, do you read any newspapers with actual investigative journalism…oh hang on

TheHateIsNotGood · 30/06/2024 20:26

@Iseeyoupekingduck - maybe critical thinking skills doesn't recognize humour, irony etc. Shame it isn't included in the academic handbook as it's what keeps a lot of people going.

Well if they are, reality isn’t satire is it?Brexit did screw the country over- fact!!!

Goldenbear · 30/06/2024 20:28

I mean just Duck the Duck off - Reform doesn’t care about you don’t do it! You will absolutely be screwing yourself over!

Goldenbear · 30/06/2024 20:29

Can you actually string a sentence together

Try and read a newspaper/journal with any journalist integrity you might be surprised unless, hang on, I’m wondering now..

Goldenbear · 30/06/2024 20:32

Why does a lot of this thread remind me of that Bill Hicks joke in the Waffle House where the waitress says, “do we have ourselves a reader’ - now that is funny!!

Critical Thinking Skills? Just a bunch of academic tosh by some stupid name that makes people feel important. It just means an ability to think and weigh things up in your mind - hardly rocket science - people do it every day.

Cracking definition. Doesn’t change the fact that they are somewhat lacking in some posts.

No. Britain fought against the Nazis 80 years ago. I will not betray and destroy everything they held dear by voting for them now.

Brexit is irrelevant to this as it’s done. Neither Conservative or Labour has said with conviction that they can make Brexit work for Britain.

Hear hear! Stop throwing away liberal democracy guys, my Grandad was on Gold beach on D day and his friend had his head blown off- We think he probably had PTSD for the rest of this life, why did he do this if it is just going to be thrown away on a reform vote!!

Not reform voters, posters on this thread I said.

I don’t think there are Russian bots. I suspect though given the tone of the debate at times. Or are you suggesting the idea of Russian bots is tosh? If so…

Absolutely not. Infiltration is something every country does, I’m just not convinced that there is a massive amount going on here at MN.

Wtf and who was heading the UKIP campaign for Brexit - did you live here at the time? Are you British? UKIP fucked the economy just as Reform would do, they wanted this like I said if you live in a poorer part of the country you’ve been made even poorer from Vrexit and the withdrawal of EU. Subsidies, don’t do it, they are not on your side!!

Wonder why that is, how long have you been on here?

TinklySnail · 30/06/2024 20:43

Goldenbear · 30/06/2024 20:37

No- work it out

Why won’t you expand? How am I to work it out? Are you saying I am unable to think critically? Are you trying to belittle me?

TinklySnail · 30/06/2024 20:44

Goldenbear · 30/06/2024 20:41

What’s that got to do with anything? Am I not allowed a voice if I haven’t been here for a long time?
