A Stalinist purge of dissent by loony-left 70s throwback Jeremy "The Unelectable" Corbyn? A vicious factional Kristallnacht literally without precedent in British politics? The first slip of the "friendly old granddad" mask, revealing the bloodthirsty Satanic communist behind?

I am okay with Roosh V selling a couple more books to scum if it means rapists and fascists know they're hated and can't organise in public without the threat of getting their heads kicked in.

I want anybody espousing "I should be able to rape a girl on my private property" petrified and unlikely to interact with the outside world.

Good to see the continuing Tory method of pointing out genuine problems and then promising to make things worse.

"Prisons are failing the inmates, leading to massive amounts of reoffenders."

"So are we going to copy the Norwegian model or anything like that?"

"Nah, we're going to copy the yanks and privatise the Prison services."

Yeah this has really lowered my opinion of Corbyn :(. Not endless stupid loving polls. This annoying silence when they should be savaging the Tories.

For me this is his biggest failing, he's just not the kind of guy who savages opponents because he's a nice old man who thinks we should be civil even to our enemies when really we need someone to harry the tories and drive them all into the ocean.

This is absolutely true, because it has happened before. There was a 150k signature petition for exactly the same thing, it got a ten minute 'debate' in an anteroom which concluded 'something something 7 day NHS gently caress you junior doctors' and went back to selling off the NHS.

Signing petitions is all well and good, but at the end of the day they can and will ignore them.

I seriously don't get Jew-hate at all. In the aftermath of Paris and Cologne, there were youtube videos about the vents where the commenters were all like "This is the Jew-media wanting to mix the races and dilute the White Race and argblebargle"

You would think that the dastardly Jew would have the sense to not want to import people from parts of the world where anti-semitism is rather rife, in order to ???

Racists are rather odd.

e: Seriously, is this just a religion thing?

Like people have said it's a long-standing thing, I figure it's got to the point where it's kinda like a security blanket for bigots; in a harsh and scary world you can always blame the jews for whatever happens.

I have a question for you Brits:

It seems that you have a problem with housing problem and not just in the center of big cities, where it is expected, but also in places where you have huge tracts of land that are unused. Why are you not building more houses? That seems like it would be an easy solution.

Government isn't building because of ideology and private property developers don't want to cater for the people who need housing and would rather build luxury flats people can't afford or sit on empty land.

It sounds like a good idea would be to reform these problems than? It sounds like a lot of red tape and as a lot of your politicians seem to want to cut red tape, that should be the first step.

That would require us to not be ruled by a party who represent the NIMBYS and landlords who have no real interest in the situation changing.

No no, this is fine, see, if a scientist wants to lobby the government based on their research, they just have to use their own private funds to do it.

If they don't have any money invested in private enterprise, well, that's their own silly fault isn't it?

The article had me under the impression it was the results they weren't allowed to use, it's not quite as bad as I thought but it still begs the question if we're supposed to be producing research of importance and relevance with this state funding why are they making restrictions on doing just that?

IDS must have saved Cameron's life and he owes him a debt or something, that's the only reason that he keeps someone around who is so bad at his job and keeps creating all these PR disasters.

He's exactly what I mean when I say I don't want any of the current Tories aside from Cameron to be PM, they're blinded by ideology and inflexible to the point of insanity. Granted, so is Corbyn, but at least he's not expected to care for vunerable members of society. If Cameron got rid of IDS, he'd get a lot of postitive buzz from the public.

Cameron put him there and doesn't give a gently caress about what he's doing or the "PR disasters" because it hasn't hurt the tory party politically. Being a callous toff gently caress isn't any better than an ideologue because the effect is the same when they are in charge of the government departments instead.
