The tories are not 'aligned' with the EDL. That's false. Why post something like that?

And yet they’re seemingly aligned with the EDL co-founder Tommy Robinson - which is exactly what I said.

Pp said "aligned with the co-founder of the EDL" not the EDL itself.

Oh thats alright then is it? I slightly different wording of misinformation.

You’re obviously uncomfortable with this, which is reassuring. Tommy Robinson endorsed Nick Timothy’s comments on Muslims praying in London as an ‘act of domination’ and said how the party has changed, as this comment would have previously seen Timothy sacked; Badenoch supported Timothy and the Robinson endorsed comments by saying Timothy was referring ‘British values’ - the link is clear and it’s public. No lies.

I'm always uncomfortable with lies, yes. You got me there.
Surprised coming from you.

It’s funny you say that, because Starmer appears flat footed, brittle and chippy. Those pursed lips, those porcine eyes, the barely restrained fury. We have seen it countless times, when someone dares question his authority.

Truly, a man of straw.

Yep-personal insults always go down well. And I don’t think straw man means what you think it does.

Some Tory candidates are fans of Robinson, that is indisputable:

Plenty of Green candidates are aligned to Hamas. Give me Tommy Robinson over Hamas any day of the week.

Or better still, be against both?

This thread is about Badenoch not Polanski. The is a "Polanski is evil" thread you might like.

Please can you provide a link. I did not know that Greens are aligned to Hamas. That sounds frightening.

Which part is false exactly? It was all well reported on, so take a look in the media and in it was raised in parliament too:
-Timothy made the comments on Muslims praying;
-Robinson endorsed the comments and the party’s shift;
-Badenoch supported Timothy and his comments.

I would condemn both - it’s not an either/or!

A link was provided for the Tory councillor supporting Robinson. I am merely asking to see this, please.

JollyDenimSeal · 06/05/2026 10:07

This is hilarious. The SNP are aligned to the church of the flying spaghetti monster by the way. I have no link. I just made it up.

PenelopePepper · 06/05/2026 10:07

TheLandlordsAreFrowning · 06/05/2026 09:24

I suppose the other poster was referring to Kemi constantly repeating the same thing - thinking that reinforces her point

Much like her acolytes on this thread!

I find the collective Kemi fan girling among the usual suspects quite nauseating.

Utterly false.

Plaid Cymru is aligned to the Soup Dragon, which is actually rather sweet, tbh.

Why the need to post, then.

When feeling nauseous, surely a dark bedroom calls?

Do people forget what Tommy did to that young Syrian student. He's an appalling grifter to boot. Come on. The line of argument doesn't need to be - I prefer Tommeh over Hamas.

Have people lost their ability to critically think for themselves?

And here’s the grammar police, when they are out of arguments.

Man of straw, as you wish.

You are suggesting that the tories are aligned with the EDL. You know thats a lie don't you. A very damaging one, yet you're doubling down.

Well I find the term "fan girling" applied to those with an opposing view to be demeaning and nauseating.
