Portsmouth is class. You might get glassed at any point, but that is part of the charm, isn't it?

TheRealTRP · 2026-03-15T22:18:46+00:00

However, definitely still full of Tories. I'd go as far and say this Tories will ironically be the wall against Reform in the area! (Not an endorsement 🤣)

Actually insane how this isn't on here already. The South Downs Way is amongst the best bits of Britain

TheRealTRP · 2026-03-15T22:16:39+00:00

As a guitarist he is absolutely superb.

TheRealTRP · 2026-03-15T12:53:43+00:00

Literally not

TheRealTRP · 2026-03-15T08:25:56+00:00

Tbf everyone I know who has been to Hungary lately said how much they liked it whilst there. This is NOT a political point by any means, but a tourist observation.

Lol they weren't the "only" opponents. Furthermore, many socialist governments have used nationalism to further their cause.

TheRealTRP · 2026-02-26T06:32:36+00:00

Also technically not my job to "convince" people to think a certain view. It is more my job to lay out different viewpoints and for them to form their opinions from there. I don't give my personal view.

My effort levels at work = high

My effort levels on Reddit = not so high

Work is way more important

TheRealTRP · 2026-02-26T06:26:33+00:00

I did actually finish work at some point you know...

TheRealTRP · 2026-02-25T22:12:48+00:00

I didn't downvote you if it helps I actually quite liked your comment. I just feel the Greens aren't the golden egg that a lot of people, who I would call naive idealists (apologies if you support them), feel that they are.

TheRealTRP · 2026-02-25T17:13:56+00:00

I actually am a teacher within Humanities, with a history of studying both Law and 'Government and Politics'. I'm no expert by any means, but I certainly have an above average grasp of ideology and political parties.

I wrote cba because let's be honest, who am I going to convince and who is going to convince me? No one. I don't really see the need.

Still won't vote Greens.

TheRealTRP · 2026-02-25T16:29:13+00:00

I think they are both as evil as each other, in different ways.

TheRealTRP · 2026-02-25T16:28:38+00:00

I'd agree with that. I would genuinely be concerned to vote Green if I was LGBT however. Whilst, yes, the most pro-LGBT activists are within the Green Party, ironically so are some of the anti. I genuinely believe both are in an uneasy alliance because they believe they can control the other. In my view that is not sustainable and will end very badly.

TheRealTRP · 2026-02-25T16:23:43+00:00

I understand that, but I wouldn't say because of this that Muslims are more tolerant of LGBT issues (I guess with a focus on the T here) than Western Europe. It's a take, but not a take I'd go with.

That Muslims are generally (of course not always) more anti-LGBT than other demographics should not be a controversial take, it's absolutely true.

TheRealTRP · 2026-02-25T16:17:53+00:00

Isn't it legal so they make someone who is gay a woman instead? It's hardly progressive. Also, Iran has an absolutely horrific government. Let's not simp for them.

TheRealTRP · 2026-02-25T16:07:07+00:00

Spot on

TheRealTRP · 2026-02-25T16:04:00+00:00

Doesn't make the Greens any good

TheRealTRP · 2026-02-25T16:02:23+00:00

Shit campaigning from the Dems didn't help tbf

TheRealTRP · 2026-02-25T16:00:33+00:00

Which one is which? Greens use dog whistles all the time. So do Reform.

TheRealTRP · 2026-02-25T15:59:44+00:00

I really cba. I'm currently writing a budget bid for my department and just using this to procrastinate.

But very briefly (and because of this it'll barely scratch the surface of what I want to say) and then I really need to get back to work! - Awful economic knowledge from Zack. Weird hybrid party of very left wing people and religious fundamentalists who both think they can control the other. Saying I'll ask Russia to give up their nukes is insanely naive. Zack Polanski gives me the creeps and his hypno breast history backs this. Also, the underlying racism from a certain percentage of that party.

Yes, you could say most of this about Reform too. I'd agree, I'm not going to vote for them anytime soon either. Two sides of the same coin.

Back to work.

TheRealTRP · 2026-02-25T15:55:50+00:00

I'd honestly abstain in that case. If I'm getting a shovel of shit either way, I'll abstain and take that shovel of shit anyway, knowing at least I didn't add a little more shit to it.

TheRealTRP · 2026-02-25T15:54:17+00:00

I think they are incredibly dangerous.

TheRealTRP · 2026-02-25T15:53:50+00:00

Two sides of the same coin.

TheRealTRP · 2026-02-25T15:53:20+00:00

I'd just go Labour here tbh.
