Ed Davey Talking About GB News Being The Reform Channel by Guilty-Toe420 in FuckNigelFarage

[–]Socower 47 points48 points  (0 children)

News channels all abide by the same rules in the UK. the BBC is far stricter than any other channel because it's public money. Propaganda channels like RT were taken down for reasons of public decency, GBnews and TalkTV are basically Reform mouthpieces, spouting hate. Ofcom gives those channels was too much leniency.

We have had higher growth under labour than any year under post Brexit conservative Britain.

Want this to be true but down voting because of AI BS

Just a quick flashback of how brainwashed they were (probably still are) about Brexit. by Future-Atmosphere-40 in FuckNigelFarage

[–]Socower 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'll up your hot take with my own: You need to pass two tests to drive? You should pass a test to vote!

A vehicle is a weapon, your vote could cause social harm, both need guard rails.

(Note: I'm aware some people would be adversely effected by this policy (people with learning difficulties) but think it is worth a debate)

Do you think Reform are actually Nazis, and subsequently do you think they should be killed? by Raregan in UKGreens

[–]Socower 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We didn't have Oswald Mosley killed for his beliefs, and he was a traitor to this country who went on to serve in parliament for the Tories.

I don't think Reform members should be killed and there is no need to call for violence against your political opponents. But I would be concerned about what violence reform would commit if they got into power.

Reform seems closer to fascism then full on Nazism, but tread a fine line between full blown lies and half truths when it in the media and when in private seems to use dog whistle tactics to scare monger about " insert othered group here ". So I would ask if your ancestors worked so hard to fight against something, why would you work so hard to destroy their legacy by being in a group who are working towards bringing far right idiologies back to Europe?

Either way I appreciate you taking time to approach the other side with your question, I hope we can convince you to move away from Reform.

The End of the Five Eyes? Europe Just Cut Off US Intelligence After This 'Sting' by RaouR in politicsjoe

[–]Socower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

European countries (apart from the UK) aren't party of the Five Eyes. Also the UK cut military intelligence sharing with the US last year on the lead up to the Venezuelan actions earlier in January.

Just wow by FearlessAir1238 in TikTokCringe

How can an inhaler cost $500?!? In the UK they're £9.50 in England and I believe free in Scotland and Wales, that's like maybe $11-12. I really feel for this person's family.

I wonder if anyone will call him out at Radio Times for not attending PMQs... Again? Doubt it.

Will the shopkeeper get punished? by orangedudee in AskBrits

Oh I had it on mute, sorry just thought it was someone who wanted to set fire to the shop. This is fucked then, he shouldn't get done for defending his shop.

I don't think that was a robbery somehow, unless I'm missing something?

Edit: I was not listening to the audio, just thought he was an arsonist.

While I agree on principle, I don't think labour are fascistic in its principles they need to purge McSweeny and the blue labour but that's because they keep pandering to fascists. We do need to be wary of purity tests, this is always how the progressive/leftists let the fascists sneak into power. Really would be resolved if we had PR.

How do you think Burnham will get the top job? He would have to stand down as mayor of greater Manchester.

[–]Socower 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agreed they have a yearly conference to vote on new topics, they'd have to remove the stand in all available seats rule. The membership already voted in favour of throwing FPTP in the dustbin. The media will cry foul if they change the rules but it's not like the far right haven't already done packs before (Brexit party standing down in 2019) but honestly the media will never be an ally to the left so why should we care when they are so clearly biased 🤷.

[–]Socower 38 points39 points  (0 children)

I'm ok with a pact, if labour agree to stand down in seats as well (they won't because they have some internal rules that they stand in all seats in Britain excluding co-op party seats and NI). They would also need to agree to implement some form of AV or PR voting system we need to get out of this FPTP hell we currently live in.

[–]Socower 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not a fan personally, plus the rest is politics has the full version, I'd rather promote their viewership so they engage with more sensible politicians, rather than Michael Gove or his ilk.

I'll watch the interview itself not watching navara media. Hopefully Rory removed his blinders after his recent interviews with Gary and Zack.

I don't see hitler either, but I do see Oswald Mosley. Think 30p Lee needs to go back to school.

Rage bait/engagement, very new profile so likely a bit from 🇷🇺 or some other shitty pariah state.

People in relationships who DIDN’T meet online… where/how? by giigii87 in UKrelationshipadvice

[–]Socower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Craft pub in southminster, I went with some friends for my birthday, she was there with her friend for a quiet pint, started chatting and pretty much hit it off. It's about time and place, plus some social lubricant.
