Idiots! Being anti-anti-apartheid doesn't mean you support apartheid, in the same way being an anti-anti-facist doesn't make you a facist.

Oh... wait.

As far as I can extract from the garbage of the replies she doesn't like that he was protesting with a communist anti apartheid group, or something.

I would never in a million years have expected H&W workers to protest *in irish* with An Dream Dearg. It made me think things really are changing in NI and the DUP have hosed up badly by not representing what would have been their traditional base.

I just meant that I thought they would at least make an effort to be seen to be on the side of the workers. I was honestly surprised to see that fat, useless gently caress Robinson stand on a street with the cranes in the background basically telling people commerce is cruel, suck it up lol :nyd:

Every election I think they surely have to pay for what they've done but they just start making scary pope noises and so many morons go and vote for them :(

Again the rolling around in your own poo poo defence still makes you president of the rolling around in your own poo poo club, which I think requires a predisposition to rolling around in your own poo poo to be attractive.

it's very clearly her objective to do the same thing over and over again, looking for the same response that keeps being given and there are metrics to prove it has some efficacy, even if you view the end state as inconsequential

Hello, dear
Really just out of Sunday boredom here that I ask this question. So, centrists/melts as we identify them now - the people who get on our tits by being sufficiently privileged to be able to refuse to recognise the inevitable necessity of ideology in politics and who in most cases are so terminally sheltered and cosseted in their lives that they demand others accept this. Where have all these fuckers come from? :stare:

Like were these people identifiable as a group say 10 years ago in UKMT discussion?

10 years ago they were running the country. Now they are quite unhappy that nobody wants them doing it again.

I know it feels like forever but it's a very short time since the neolib consensus started to show obvious cracks.

He just gave a speech to the Peterloo bicentennial meeting about half an hour ago and cheered for the chance of the first truly socialist government since 1945 and called for solidarity among everyone, but some of the younger lot from Salford Labour went down the pub rather than listen to him.
