According to some of his boarding school chums, he was WELL aware and bragged about it and would sing Nazi songs.

 

Why even go that far back? He was, in the last week all too briefly investigated by police for a comment to supporters including the quote 'knife the pen pushers'.

 

He didn't confirm whether the knives would be long, or whether this imagined assault would take place at night.

!!!

 

And yet his supporters call remainers, the left wing (lol) and remain mps the fascists!

I saw about that, what a dickwad he is.

 

I'd be really interested to see if those who expressed outrage over the milkshake incident would be willing to call him out on it. I won't hold my breath.

He is terrified of milkshakes :rofl: His nice veneer slipped as he went posh boy private school mode and started going off it at his security over it :lol:

He is! Do you remember when he was held hostage on the top of a bus by a few people outside holding milkshakes?

Which was, what. forty years ago? When I was a teenager, I was so left-wing that I'd have made you look like Maggie Thatcher in comparison! :P

 

The point being, people's political views tend to change with age/experience, so you cannot necessarily judge by words/actions decades ago.

Oh come on, who *hasn't* felt like going postal on petty jobsworths/bureaucrats at some point! :lol:

 

And yet his politics show no sign of having changed? He is still extremely right wing? Stole Nazi propaganda for Leave? Sooo? His words and actions now echo those of the NF-bragging spoilt brat.

 

And unless you were um a communist, you weren't more left wing than me. In fact, you probably weren't very left wing at all.

He is not as right-wing as the NF - right-wing, but not extreme-right.

 

As for myself, I voted for Labour in the 1983, Michael Foot and all. :blush: Read Labour's 1983 manifesto and then try to tell me that it wasn't left-wing...

 

Maybe you shouldn't have let yourself be brainwashed bt the dailymail since then.

 

Andno. He is extremely fsr right. He's probably still fscist

I have been reading the Mail only for 6-7 years.

 

Are the terms 'far-right' and 'fascist' too abhorrent to you that you can't even spell them? :teresa:

Foots 1983 manifesto was simply supporting the progress that had occurred since 1945 and reinvigorating that. Basically putting two fingers up at control of the economy by the private sector and the financial sector who were licking their lips at a second Thatcher term.

 

Also, you state that 'with experience' your views changed but that tries to say that left wing people are stupid and don't have a clue which is wholly wrong.

Even one of Labour's *own* MP's (Gerald Kaufman) famously described their 1983 manifesto as 'The longest suicide note in history'.

 

As to the second part - that was not my intent, but merely your own interpretation.

But why use such devisive language then?

 

Kauffman was from the Labour right who opposed the leadership so no surprise he had that view.

But he was right - the Tories won a 144 seat majority...

Winning a majority doesn't make you right in your arguments though.

 

Look what Thatcherism has done to your once great country. We can do so much more together than we can ever do alone!

It is when the question is 'Who do you want to be the next gov't of this country?' :rolleyes:

That doesn't mean the government is always right, though. If it did, opposition MPs might as well spend all their time on holiday.

Exactly those election victories led to the tories doing some things right and a lot more wrong imo. Britain is a crueler and more survival of the fittest country now due to her.

Of course not - but it means voters have decided who they want to run the country, for better or worse - and if the polls are any indication :unsure: currently they seem to believe that Corbyn would tend towards the latter...

 

So you have slightly changed your original rebuttal of my point to that if the people vote for it then so be but it doesn't mean the people are always right.
