The majority of people just vote on what they are used to eg 'im labour my father was labour' most don't even read the loving manifesto. I'm no clever person but i am capable of reading, just.

I'm green because its the nearest fit to my worldview when you read what they want, far from perfect of course but what is.

I'm listening to the results programme on BBC now and all i hear is 'ukip' every other word and no one saying what their policy's are and soundbites. its loving stupid and annoying and I'm going to turn the telly off now.

Why cant anyone just campaign on real things?

I just think we should put everything in the hands of an AI send every MP and counciler to work in the coal mines.

I loving love the US and Australian anti-immigration crowd. At least here you can claim a relatively small and densely populated country, even if the 'no room' argument is BS. But how does someone standing on one of the largest, most sparsely populated countries on the planet say 'we're full' and keep a straight face? How does someone who is descended from immigrants, living among an entire population of descendants of immigrants, claim that immigration should be capped or not allowed at all?

Maybe it's another topic, but it'd be interesting to hear how other countries push the anti immigration stance.

Come on man. Whenever you hear anything without any proper backing that says the country you live in is special, you really should check that poo poo.

No we're not overpopulated. No English is not the hardest language (it's not even difficult).

We do have the highest millionaires/population though, and I can source that!

Would someone please tell me why dressing up in Nazi fancy dress and rendering them a joke is actually really offensive?

To be fair, as poo poo as he is for doing this, it once again highlights the point that was brought up in Flat Earth News about our lovely media. They haven't got time to fact check things, or the resources, or in the worst cases actively don't check for ideological reasons.

And then that poo poo gets passed on down the pub to people like Myrddin_Emrys and they believe it.

Everything is all linked, all of the time. One input can have lots of outputs further down the line.

Edit: Is it possible to be pro-political correctness and be pro-free speech and think that nothing should be exempt from being made fun of equally? Is there some half way house?

Because Steve Hughes is well funny.

Ooh this ones easy it's about bowing to a German-greek royal family

It's about "British" institutions been owned by the Dutch (Royal Shell) the French (EON) and the Germans (parts of our railnet)

It's about using a language that applies French vocabulary to German grammar

It's about following a religion founded by a Palestinian that was originally governed out of Italy

It's about eating our national dish an Indian Tika Masala

So non-white people, however many generations of their family have lived here, can never be considered British in your view?

And the fact that we've been at war with Islam for 10 years.

I am telling you THIS is the reason why we've lurched so far to the loving right, because Tony 'closet Catholic fascist' Blair got us involved in this clash of civilizations.

It's loving retarded and the war in Iraq was never about Iraq, it was about pitting 'western "christian" civilization' against the others, regardless of what anyone said at the time it would take GENERATIONS to undo the fuckup that was that decision, precisely because it not just radicalises extremists against those starting the wars but it radicalises the populations of those commiting the acts of war and normalises demonisation, militarism and violence against others the brown enemy.

And that's what it's loving done and now the ghost of Mosley has risen and everyone is loosing their loving minds for god king and country.

So loving stupid.

I hope it's ill conceived protest votes because the idea that people are actually supporting the types of people who view gays, women, immigrants and anyone who doesn't love the queen as pests to be marginalized and eradicated is loving terrifying.

There's a shitload of entitlement that thinks young people should be able to afford a decent place in a decent part of London straight out of college. There are still loads of affordable areas in zone 5. £800 a month gets you a one bed flat near East Croydon which is only 20 minutes to Victoria. £450 a month gets you a room in a houseshare in zone 3 Tooting, 30 minutes on the Northern line.
