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.

Like Starmer failed to speak out on the grooming gangs and in Nov 24 when he refused to call Israels actions in Gaza as ‘genocide’ etc.

Are you a Tommy Robinson fan?

I see that the Green victor has a property portfolio worth over a million quid and is no stranger to a second home

the sheer hypocrisy of these people

NO.

You?

Nor should you be either - because the evil little bastard didn't say a single word when Britain's biggest ever grooming gang was jailed.

One guess why?

Yup. They were WHITE!

These racist twats only care about women and girls who have been raped by BROWN men.

Pure scum.

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

Starmer did Burnham a favour, he would have lost as well - people have had enough of labour, enough of the Tories, so they are going other ways.

Someone might remind you of that when women’s rights are completely destroyed, prostitution as a valid career choice is introduced in schools and the world and its wife can legally buy their Ketamine from the local corner shop.

Can’t you think of something else to say instead of repeating what you heard on GBeebies?

And, @BrendaThePoodle if you want to look at racism and hatred look at the British Jewish community and the shit they have always have. Mosques don't need security guards and neither do muslim schools. But British Jews have not gone on terrorist sprees because of the racism they face.

Muslim terrorism is born from Muslim communities. No one else is responsible for it but Islamists.

I’ve read both your replies and I don’t think we will ever agree so it’s completely pointless me replying again after this. I disagree that poor white people have been targeted by the left, I’ve seen more abuse towards poorer members of society and working people who claim UC from members of Rupert Lowes fanclub than any other. I’m not absolving any individual of their part in a murder that has stemmed from a terrorist attack, I am saying I understand how growing up in a society that hates you makes you vulnerable to becoming radicalised. I explained why. Gave examples of other ways this also applies to other groups. I feel you simply want it agreed that Muslims are the problem when like any other group there are good and bad people there. It’s bizarre to suggest otherwise. And why are you determined to perpetuate the division of hate between the Jewish and Muslim community? If the right are to be believed and Hannah Spencer won purely from the Muslim vote, why would they vote for a party being led by a Jewish man? I hope you find peace. ✌️

Personally I am terrified by the thought of either a Green or a Reform government - communism or fascism, what a choice!

Just so you know- If you support women’s rights you cannot also support Reform. I don’t know if you do of course so my apologies if you don’t

Arch hypocrisy.

anythreewords · 28/02/2026 19:15

Imdunfer · 28/02/2026 09:51

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.

How to make friends and influence people….

What did the Romans during the 4 centuries occupation of Britannia ever do for us?

There's a very long old Roman Road near to me that rarely gets pot holes.

Fluffyholeysocks · 28/02/2026 19:22

I hope the established parties, which have long taken our votes for granted, realise they have got to get some competent, likeable, capable, sensible people standing for election. And soon. The Greens and Reform have got seats because Labour and the Tories are, quite frankly, shit. Both parties need to attract serious talent and very quick.

persephonia · 28/02/2026 19:24

Freud2 · 28/02/2026 18:46

The Greens have also said they want a brothel on each high street and a deal with Mexican drug cartels to get drugs for all here. And lessons fir children on how to take drugs.
I can't believe that anyone normal would agree with this.

Ahhh, you went to far with that. It was more convincing before the last post blew it.

I don't know what headlines you are reading, none that I've seen in a decade, for sure.

and in other news

I came back to the thread after being wiped out all day physically and mentally by a drug I'm taking for an emergency eye pressure problems to apologise if you have quoted me and expect a reply, I'm just not up to it.

What makes you think we haven't been average at best?

I don't think the Greens are Communist. I think they have some trad left policies sitting very uneasily alongside extreme liberalism and the prioritisation of the rights of the individual over the good of the many. I can get on board with the first, but I'm uncomfortable with the second. I'm terrified of Reform. But mainly I'm terrified because I'm struggling to agree with any of them anymore and tactical voting for the least worst option is a depressing prospect.

It is a disgusting comment and one they should apologise for but as of yet havent

I live in this constituency and it makes me sick to my teeth what she did to grr elected, not to mention the family voting which I witnessed and was not dealt with, yet my wife and I went to the same booth and were pulled up immediately.

my only hope it when these green lot get analysed further they fall apart as they are dangerous. Plus our new MP is apparently a millionaire so I wonder if she will donate her MPs salary to charity like a few others do.

What did the police say when you reported this?

DuncinToffee · 28/02/2026 20:00

I am sure you know the answer to that, I do not hide my opinion on him.

Well I doubt anyone on this thread will mourn the bastard. Am not sure it's relevant to the G&D by-election, though.
