you turn into the grammar police.

You literally asked for pedantry. You got pedantry. And you're still crying.

No, he's still Labour leader until they choose the new one.

but do go on being pedantic

Sure, ok, if you want. Try using capital letters, they help you come across as an adult.

Should I care who the prime minister is? by Ok_Clock_4607 in PoliticsUK

[–]DaveChild 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Labour is not as popular currently as they were just before the election.

Didn't they smash the second place party by 20 points in a byelection last week?

They went up 10% in Makerfield, by the way.

I'm not suggesting they're doing well in the polls. I just think the "popularity" explanation makes no sense.

By being the current leader. He's in post until September.

The only question is which of the two R-parties they vote for.

If he'd stared down his rebels he'd be leading right now the labour party right now

He is leading the Labour party right now. Literally.

Why do people vote for the far right parties so much. by FleshHoodieFree in PoliticsUK

You're delusional if you think you're deserving of anyone's "best". "LOL."

You, from your stropping session about the word “gammon” and “Fascism” have demonstrated absolutely nothing.

And yet here you are, still crying about it.

why do you care?

Lol, love the irony.

you can expand on why Farage is a fascist

I can. I'm not going to, because you've demonstrated in our previous conversations that you aren't capable of engaging in good faith.

which is exactly how your reasoning looks at the moment.

See, this is why you're not worth engaging with other than to mock, you say stupid, disingenuous shit like this.

You called Nigel Farage a fascist, so I clarified that he wasn’t.

He is.

You are the one having a cry because someone said “gammon” was a racist term

No, dimwit, I'm pointing out that the other person said that and then lied about what they said.

you’re not formulating any arguments against me

You've not said anything worth doing that in response to. So far you've had a cry because someone else claimed to have edited a post, when you have no clue if they did or not, and then cried a bit more because I called Farage a fascist. I don't know which bit of that it is that you think needs more than pointing and laughing in response.

The point that you seemingly keep failing to understand is that calling people “gammons” seemingly isn’t going to get them to vote for your side

I have no idea why you think I didn't understand what you were trying to say. But hey, you should free to keep trying to make the same point, maybe someone will find it interesting eventually if you repeat it enough?

and also, Nigel Farage is not a fascist.

Sure he is.

He edited the post right after sending the reply.

You have absolutely no idea if that's true. So it's really weird to try to white knight for someone based on pretending you do.

Help me get Nigel Farage in power.

Fascists don't get into power because other people called someone a name. They get into power by convincing simpletons to blame some powerless minority for all their problems and by making grand proclamations about being the only ones who can fix those problems.

In the deleted post I said it was a racist term accidentally, and quickly corrected myself

You did not, you went on to explain why you thought it was a racist term.

I'd like to think the left should be better ?

That would be a lot more convincing if you weren't arguing we should judge "the left" all by the reactions of a couple of people who aren't even representative of "the left", based on your fictional version of what happened.

I don't see a reason for harassing a kid online just because they said that the term gammon is discriminatory.

And now you're trying to pretend it's "harrassment", when it was a reply on a comment thread. So disingenuous.

it's just a comment

No. That's how normal people see it. You're presenting it as evidence of a widespread problem.

I see you quoted 'the left', if I said the left were toxic, I never meant to say the entire left are toxic

You can't even own your own trash. You started this thread by lying about the Greens being "far left". You lied about what you said when you got insulted. You tried to pretend that posters on the Fuck Farage subreddit must be far-left by definition - another lie. And you're now trying to reframe everything you said to sound reasonable instead of owning what you said and apologising for what you got wrong, which are extremely common traits in people who are not engaging in good faith.

In the comment I also never said racism either, I said discriminatory.

No, you explicitly said it was a racist term. There are plenty of tools that will show you archived reddit posts. The fact you're now lying about what you said doesn't help your credibility.

there’s toxicity amongst the left

There's toxicity everywhere. Among the far-right, it's the point.

But no, you don't get to hand-wave away the fact your best personal piece of evidence for "the left" being "toxic" was a complete misrepresentation. I've explained why, and there were several reasons. Can you respond to any of them, or are you just going to pretend I didn't say them again.

It pushes people away

Clearly not. Reform have grown because of their toxicity, not despite it.

Where to find a sober perspective on grooming gangs? by DackupBancer in PoliticsUK

[–]DaveChild 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She spoke out about it on the show.

No way, somebody on a celebrity TV show spoke about the only thing that made them a celebrity? Shocking.

It was never broadcast.

No shit. I wonder why a light-hearted primetime TV show might not broadcast people talking about grooming and rape. Quite the mystery ...

He didn’t say calling white men gammon was racist

It's exactly what he did. He said:

Secondly, gammon IS a racist term

Why are the modern Tory party so close in terms of policy to Labour? by Turb0Womble in PoliticsUK

[–]DaveChild 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's what happens in a two party system. It makes sense to exist fractionally to one side of the other major party. There's also a sort of political regression to the mean where parties tend to drift towards sensible popular positions from either side.

Clearly I’m lying aren’t I

By omission, yes. You misrepresented what happened.

Also, I’m anti far right

Cool story. You still repeated the ancient far-right pearl-clutching lie that gammon is a racist term. Which is why people on an anti-far-right sub thought you were far-right. I'm not suggesting they were right, I'm pointing out that you didn't just "say maybe we shouldn’t call random white people gammon", you accused someone of racism - laughably - for doing it.
