I literally have no idea why anyone would want to sell the steel industry, even if it was running at a monumental loss.

I'm no engineer, but I'm guessing the ability to create and manufacture your own steel without having to buy it elsewhere is a very, very useful ability to have particularly if you want to run an infrastructure in the modern world, what with steel being used loving everywhere.

People still seem to be convinced that if Cameron steps down, Corbyn magically becomes PM. They don't seem to realise that the current party is in until 2020, it'd just be the leader who changes.

The £9 million on EU campaign spending seems like a storm in a teacup. What does £9 million buy in government terms? Probably be cheaper to buy billboard, TV and Internet space than go through the hassle of printing out and sending all those leaflets out. It'd be better for the enviroment too.

Personally, I'ma reluctant remain voter. The economic benefits are better than with out. When the EU sticks to regulating industry, sorting out disagreements between countries and keeping trade smooth, it's fine. It's when it starts messing with indivdiual countries and thier laws and sovereignity is when it becomes an issue. EU should stick with the money and trade stuff, make sure we're not being ripped off by France, that kind of thing.

The point isn't to make Cameron step down so we can usher in the reign of Jeremy Corbyn, it's to make Cameron step down because he's a massive loving hypocrite that has personally benefited from wide-scale tax fraud

Not content with the legal mandate of loving over the country, he's literally stolen money from the taxpayer on a massive scale and helped facilitate other people to do that.

He should loving hang, if there was any actual justice.

Calling for someone to hang for £31,000 is a big harsh. Well, hanging is a bit harsh in general.

I'm going to say either Cameron should stay on, or be replaced by Dan Davis then. Then in 2020 hopefully Labour will be in better shape. Alternativity, Davis runs the party better than Cameron did, and we get a better Tory party to vote for in 2020.

How many people have died as a direct result of his policies? How many will continue to die thanks to them loving over the NHS?

Also can someone please explain the difference between tax avoidance and tax evasion to me? Cuz I'm a moron who just happens to think "avoid" and "evade" are loving synonyms of each other and by definition of basic English should NOT mean different things.

Evasion is when you don't pay tax that you've been caught out on.

Avoidance is not being caught in the first place.

If you think that is loving stupid, congratulations, you're a normal person! The world doesn't cater to us, though.

Between Corbyn's office and his handwriting I'm really glad to see he's actually a scruffy, shambolic git and not just a show for the cameras like Boris.

So hey what's the logical difference between the "Dodgy Dave" and "Jurassic Park" insults that only one of them gets you sent to detention or whatever the gently caress?

Basically in Parliament you have to use "Parliamentary Language" which means that you can't really make insinuations about people's conduct/character. Calling people liars, for example, is considered 'unparliamentary language' and can get you suspended.

So you have to have workarounds like "economical with the truth" etc.

In addition, accusations of 'crooked deals' or insinuation of the use of banned substances by a member are considered unparliamentary language (all attributable to Dennis Skinner).

Actually, it is. Fascists, when they go on marches, are directly acting against the state and everyone living in it in a violent display of force. Kicking their heads in isn't a last resort, it's self-defence.

If you are willing to bash the fash and do so you're, by default, supporting anti-fash ideology, whether you like it or not.

There is no political discourse to be had with them. None. Their particular ideology was crushed by an entire world effort and they still haven't got the loving message.

If the Nuremburg trials weren't enough to convince them that their particular ideology is perhaps flawed, and if they didn't quite get the message when one of their idols ended up upside down on a butcher's hook with his cock in his mouth then it's unlikely that sitting down to have a nice cuppa with them is going to change their minds.

Out of curiosity, what do the antiantifa people ITT think of the Battle of Cable Street?

You know, when the literal non-neo Nazis had actual Daily Mail backing and were trying to march through a Jewish neighbourhood and got their arses handed to them. I personally am quite proud that that happened, I mean there's a blue plaque and everything for it now, but maybe that's because I'm not a liberal.

Edit: I would also support bombing Syria if that meant 'accurately bombing Isis and only Isis' because gently caress those guys. The problem there that makes it a poor idea in actuality is the collateral damage, not the basic idea.

If it wasn't for Cable Street I literally wouldn't be here. My great grandfather met my great grandmother during it. She was a nurse who showed up to make sure the protestors got help if they were injured.

Thankfully nobody needed her services because the fash were quaking in their jackboots after having saucepans chucked at them by old ladies.

Incidentally if people want to know one of the reasons why the issue of tax avoidance will never be taken seriously by the Tories, read the book "Treasure Islands" by Nicholas Shaxson who makes the case, quite convincingly, that everyone's favourite City is actually a huge tax haven in and of itself.

Why will we never fix the problem? Because if we did our entire economy would probably collapse.

I'd always heard that the reason why the White House is white, and why it was eventually called it, was because it was painted white to cover up the fire damage from us setting fire to it.

This is actually true? That's a weird bit of history I didn't actually know.
