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.

She didn't start of so well, I think she's been learning a lot recently and being a bit smarter. Tbh, I thought she was awful when the tories were in charge.

But I agree, nice to not see a public schoolboy toff in the seat.

Who named Britain "Great"?
The Romans.

And was it really great?

Yes. "Great" refers to the size of the land mass in comparison to the other British Isles. HTH

You don't like them because they’ve taken in some Tories? So you agree with their very right wing, divisive agenda then?

Lucky others have proved you alternative links to the whole discussion upthread then.

Yes, same.

If you're concerned after all with the rights of women, a Farage led government would be a catastrophe. He's employed James Orr, a notorious far right anti women ideologue, who would ban all abortion even in cases of rape.

Farage is in the pocket of American religious extremists and is already talking about restricting abortion. They'll be keeping very quiet about it until they get elected.

I dont want men in women's spaces either but that's much easier dealt with.

What other British isles would those be?

A completely reasonable and evidence based response 😂😂😂. Not at all unhinged. 🤷🏻‍♀️

It's such a minor thing he has already talked about. And the name difference is just about with him having taken other family name I think. Not some svengali identity trick. But hey, if it was in DM it must be gospell, right. Coz we all know DM hasnt got an agenda or anything like that. 😂

And I suggest people watch it. Because there's no way she's saying what the OP is (shitstirringly) suggesting she is. People can make their own minds up.

So you think it’s ok to have sympathy with the Manchester arena bomber?

I think most people will cry about having an MP in parliament who seeks to justify terrorism on UK soil. Do you also think terrorism on UK soil is justified?

what drugs are you on? Who has said that?

The Muslim community of Manchester completely rejected him. They refused him an islamic burial.

You're stirring hate. You should be ashamed. Stop it.

Exactly. These people are thick.

I feel quite nostalgic for the old Green Party, of organic farming, anti whaling, bicycles, nuclear disarmament, anti pollution and localism. The current incarnation is a dangerous mix of Marxism and Islamism. I can't believe any grown up adult would vote for them.

It's "great" meaning "large" or "immense," not "excellent."

Great Britain is the big Britain, as opposed to Brittany, or little Britain

Me too. I quite liked the old version of the greens.

‘I saw it in a Tiktok snippet’, give me strength. The politically incompetent now soak up highly edited reels that deliberately seek to mislead and misrepresent the context. Then parrot them back to support their own views of bigotry and racism.

Please look at the links others have posted in this thread about what this new MP said about the Manchester Bomber - it’s not a comment on the Muslim community in Manchester it’s a comment on the MP.

Agreed. They are useful for voting balance in parliament. I agree some ideas are probably a bit unworkable. But how horrible we live in a world where banks dictate to the ppl and that they'll just throw a hissy fit if a govt comes up with financial ideas they dont like. I wouldnt mind if their hissy fits were motivated by real concern for stability in the markets, but it's really just concern that they wont be able to get their grubby hands on bonuses and their obscene squirrelled profits.

I've watched it. I've re-posted it myself. She's doesn't say what you're (shitstirringly) making out.

The clip's all over this thread, and you can google it easily. Sensible poeple can make their own mind up.

Again, stop stirring up hate.

Oh bless you,

They're not "green" though are they?

I can't change it, but I can change username when not on this thread.

I think that MrsB is lacking the 'populist' factor that people want in a leader.
Mrs May didn't have it and neither does Sir K S. Gordon Brown didn't have it.
All of them are decent, intelligent, trustworthy people.

Many people will vote for a person who they'd 'like to have a pint with'.
I despair.
