Nonsense.  A civil war is something weird. We’ve had them in this country, but not for several hundred years. The conditions for civil war are lacking. Or have you and your mates been tooling up without me noticing?

You have the wrong idea of popular sovereignty in the UK. We live in a parliamentary democracy, not a plebiscitory one. There…[Read more]

Aww SHR, I knows dem facts. They have been circulated very widely within Labour websites.

There are mor3e fundamental questions though. Not just principle. I don’t see the EU as a principle, personally. But in terms of living standards, the NHS etc etc.

Some of us ‘slippery liberals ‘ actually believe that brexit in today’s world could make us…[Read more]

Nooo. i totally disagree, Reason,. You’re wrong, so wrong. So there

I just think that agreeing with people is quite boring.

Sometimes I like what people say, and I even like some people.

But I think polemic is important in sharpening debate.

Drac has the same approach, but she approaches it in a different way, goes off on a tangent, and gets…[Read more]

Awwww..thanks you, Ms K.

As always, you are so right.

Sorry to see you go, Clive, though I go to the room so rarely now that I never really came across you.

I do understand what you’re saying about people and grudges.

I think that the SNL sketch could have taken the leash to steer towards sentiments that they actually and truly want instead of going along with the humor that some are actually malicious about and some are just going along with it giving up hope just like the doers/causers. I feel like sympathizing and giving the alcohol isn’t good for anyone,…[Read more]

It’s not you Drac, or other innocent people, that deserves to go to a war, it’s those who cause wars they want by blaming others and doing whats wrong. There are many who want freedom from their own countries and want to leak secret to others through good and innocent people who are not bound by something legal, and they are looking for good and…[Read more]

You shouldn’t sympathize or encourage bad judgment. Sometimes what you used to think is right. The truth is that they don’t like focusing on each other and would rather find reasons to feel entitled when it doesn’t make sense.

yup, it will take a long time to fully leave. Not because the Tories want it to take years, but because it will take years. It could be a genuine disaster for the country if there’s a hard brexit economically, and May will want to avid that at all costs. They are hinting that EU immigration will not stop for years. That isn’t a victory for…[Read more]

A civil war lol. You ready to take up arms, drac?? You know what a civil war is really like? Very few want that,and certainly not over this issue. There would have been a constitutional crisis. But for the cowardice of the labour leaders, a closer result would have been more reflective of the close vote. may now has the legitimacy to represent a…[Read more]

I didn’t say that women are too weak to face criticism, quite the opposite if you read my post carefully.

I did say that a lot of women are very frightened by threats and stalking. I think a lot of men are too, and I think I said that. In jc, a lot of women fell very intimidated by some of the characters, and that is a fact. Others – men and…[Read more]

quite a few of us write lengthy posts, Reason.

You don’t. Yours are cryptic and quite often amusing. Not always amusing, mind you, at least to me, but I just try to ignore those..

I enjoy writing. Nothing to make you read them. Sophia habitually ignores my posts as too lengthy and boring, which is a shame as I like Sophia’s style and…[Read more]

as was Chump’s implication during the campaign that Hillary Clinton should be assassinated, in his comments on the NRA.

I didn’t read that in The Guardian. I don’t support violence against anyone, but I’m nt a pacifist. If someone is ready to attack someone for being Jewish, black, gay, Moslem etc, then the victim has a right to hit back.

The…[Read more]

Pete, the threats were serious and menacing enough to warrant polic protection and the intervention of a Minister.

You may be man enough shrug off online threats – we’ve sen plenty of empty threats in jc – but to a woman 9and to some men) online threats are like stalking. They can haunt you.

She didn’t delay the vote, In fact, Theresa may has a…[Read more]

The thread is about a brave woman who stood out against thugs and abuse.

Tapioca, so what? Minorities are allowed to hold views aren’t they? So far in our Chump post-truth world anyway.

But the fact that the majority holds your view, Tapioca, is not necessarily permanent. Majority views are rarely majorities for long.

If everything turns out…[Read more]

The only problem with the SNL post, drac, is that Trump himself is funnier..you don’t need a stand-in.
