To absolutely hate this government, and what they are doing to our country?

Strong words but is is how I feel at this point in time. All of them make me feel physically sick. The latest example -

No wonder Labour won't cut benefits. More than half of Burnham's MPs represent seats where claimant count is higher than their Commons majority

Half of Labour MPs in seats where PIP claims are higher than majority

Some 212 Labour MPs in England and Wales have more constituents on Personal Independence Payment (PIP) than their winning margin at the 2024 general election .

On the threads about concerns with immigration, boat crossings etc the only hatred I read is from the left where they accuse anyone with concerns of being racist, far right etc and resort to name calling.

How...selective.

The dismissing of entire nationalities and cultures as 'rapists' or 'murderers' seem to have passed you by.

Yesterday Tommy Robinson called Shabana Mahmoud 'a dumb bitch' and some posters even justified that.

Not much difference to your sneering at fan girls threads earlier.

Yes, I suppose you do have a point there. When I'm a hypocrite I can concede that 👍

The war in Iran isn't ending any time soon.

Those posters who wanted the UK to join Trump have gone silent over that issue.

For goodness sake.

No, your recollection is inaccurate. You tried to say it was a racist remark he made.

Is there a point in there somewhere?

OK. So you aren't very good at spotting the difference between genuine/reasonable concerns and deliberately inflammatory comments/disinformation? The inability to distinguish between fact and manipulative rhetoric must make life difficult.

Rude as well.

Nope, posters did justify calling her a dumb bitch.

Some posters here would rightly be angry if he said it about Kemi Badenoch but Shabana is fair game for some reason.

Merely responding to the fact that you claim not to see any hatred from those on the right.

I assumed that this was due to an inability to identify hatred rather than a deliberate choice not to look. Apologies if that was incorrect - I was trying to give you the benefit of the doubt.

If I see a racist remark I will call it out.

Sorry, don’t forget some posters on here used to refer to Kemi in derogatory terms.

It might be a laughing matter for you, not for many others.

@LuckyHazelFox loves their laughing emojis. Have you not read the full thread?

Sad face. Sigh.

I hope you can. I am not wasting my time talking to myself when I could be watching the incredibly hilarious Amandaland, am I?

I think the laughing emojis and daft GIFs are fucking juvenile.

That's great. But perhaps you need to get better at spotting racism as you are on lots of threads with blatantly racist comments and I don't see you calling these out.

Do you mean Shadow Cabinet leader Badenoch?

Racism isn't fine and I don't exercise it. I also don't allow myself to be gaslit into saying I make racist remarks.

A fine example of DARVO.
