Gorton and Denton, what have you done?

[Imdunfer]

You have elected as an MP to stand in the UK&NI parliament a person who said in a panel interview with Annabel Tiffin from BBC Northwest Tonight that the Manchester Arena bombing was caused by people sewing division by questioning immigration.

That statement is so outrageous I don't even know where to start.

People don’t care or have forgotten. In NY 9/11 is now an irrelevance to many.

At the time of the Manchester bombing someone posted on here that their sympathy lay equally with the bomber and his family.

The current version of the green party are frightening.
Starmer sacrificed the seat to save his own position. Too scared of Burnham.

People should be very frightened about what is happening in this country. There's no turning back now. Great Britain will never be great again.

Great Britain will never be great again.

What on earth do you mean by this?

Terrifying.

Go Greens!

The only thing threatening Great Britain's greatness is coastal erosion, given that the 'Great' in the name refers to the physical nature of the land mass, in contrast to 'little Britain' (Brittany).

I'm not frightened at all. My life is wonderful😊
And let's be honest, Britain has always been average at best.

im just not sure what will happen. Labour are ridiculous and all about a few working people paying g for everyone else. Reform is a bit too right for me. I’m thinking Kemi and the conservatives might be worth another try

I don't want us to be "Great Again".

I want us to find an equilibrium where we can enjoy our green and pleasant land, which I mean with no religious implications, and find a way to live causing minimal damage to the planet while providing a decent standard of living and health care for all our people without disadvantaging people in other countries.

I don't believe hearking back to times with a vastly different set of world trading and moral standards is in any way to be applauded.

When was it great?
I think it was better 20 years ago than it is now, but I wouldn't have said great.

That surely can only be said by someone who does not know their own country's history?

It is — the issues in the US are caused in part by both sides flinging themselves to the respective ends of the scale

this was far left vs far right - and the result would have been just as scary of Reform had won

Now we have Restore because Reform isn’t far right enough

while the moderates just panic.

What do you mean by that statement? What in your opinion made Britain "Great"?

Who named Britain "Great"? And was it really great? Going around the world slaughtering people and stealing their land is not great by any standards.

Anything to keep the Reform thickos at bay.

It absolutely was great by the standards of the time and most of Europe was doing it.

This can only be said by someone wanting to skim over the slaughter which is embedded in Britain's "greatness".

Men in women's changing rooms?

So pleased the Greens won. Hope rather than hate

Quite the pivot.

Anything? You really think Reform are as bad as it gets?

Not correct.

It is possible to acknowledge what we can see through a modern lens as terrible wrongs whilst also accepting that the British were great engineers, as one example of many.

Let's hear if for the engineers

did You hear the reform candidates graceless speech about losing because of islamists ? Ugh what a relief they didn’t win . I’m scared of their idea about what makes Britain ‘great’ . Flag shagging misogynistic thick twats!
