Then we'll figure out what to do about the tories selling out the country under our feet. But first get up out of your chairs, open the window, stick your head out, and yell, and say it: "I'M AS MAD AS HELL, AND I'M NOT GOING TO TAKE THIS ANYMORE!"

I am aware of the issue of brigades and their horrible effects but it is not a 'concerted effort' of a 'regressive left' and exists on all elements of the political spectrum. Outraged idiots is not a left-wing nor right-wing phenomenon and taking a counter-social justice position in response is the action of a coddled baby.

He's a basic kekster and pops in stuff like that to get a rise and probably beleives it to some extend due to being a kekster, he reminds me of a friend of mine only without a legitimate mental condition.

He still hasn't yet advocated genocide or outright racism though so he's a cut above most of the shitposters who occasionally run in and out of the thread and might even turn out to be a candidate for UKMT's My Fair Lady.

What the hell is this "allotment" thing I keep reading in this thread? I mean, from what I can google, it's some kind of piece of land you get where you grow stuff, but does the government lease it for free or what? The Wikipedia article is not very clear on this other than "low rent".

Your local council will usually charge you a more or less nominal fee for an allotment but supply is usually much lower than demand. They're good if you don't have a garden.

Its just one step away from:

Stop objectifying women -> Make women wear burkas

Stop discriminating against black people -> Kill all white people.

Why is Jeremy supporting criminals? Jeremy Corbyn and his Coalition of Chaos will abolish prisons, police, and policy. Murderers and terrorists (like his friends) will be rewarded with leaves from his Magic Money Tree. Foxes will hunt men. Jeremy Corbyn will outlaw the law.

The problem is with the term social justice is that its a nebulous term that extends from ensuring the freedom of minorities (including gay people and disabled people) to not be persecuted for being minorities to cultural appropriation (how dare you run a taco stand BIGOT) and making phrases like mansplaining a thing

It's also nowhere near as big an election issue as it is in the states. There's been very little of it in the campaign, other than Farron's bizarre homophobia being brought forward a few times.

Speaking of which: The absolute shitshow that is Labour Students has descended into holding a Special Conference to vote for the people running Labour Students for the next year, then blatantly rigging the election so the Progress types who currently run it give it up to their mates, instead of actually letting One Member One Vote happen and someone who supports it getting elected. Highlights include - A bunch of people from one uni labour club turning up, claiming to be the delegates for that club, while the actual club president frantically emails the conference staff saying they are a bunch of liars and they should not be allowed it (the emails were ignored and that had full voting rights) - Holding key votes in the main hall while the BAME delegates are holding their meetings, and then barring their entry to vote - Straight up impersonation of Chairs of committees, so one of Their Lads could chair a committee and not someone who might actually change something.

Of course, since this is student politics, and there's a GE on, no-one gives a poo poo. So Labour Students will continue to be a resting ground for Blairites who want a job before being a SPAD and going into a safe seat.
