‘People harmful to the public interest’

Anti-vaxxers are harmful to the wider public interest.

Anti-vaxxers are harmful to the wider public interest.

Why are they? People should be allowed their own opinions.

Why are they? People should be allowed their own opinions. Anti Vaxers are dangerous, people should be allowed opinions of course, but not complete lies that puts people at risk of death

They are. Antivaxxers and dangerous to the wider public health. It's an opinion.

“Descending into”?
He has always been like that.
The man is a first class prick.

Why do you say that NR? what is the reason?

[selby]

Because he is Syd, the man is a Quisling, a puppet who was willing to undermine and try and overturn a democratic vote by the British electorate.   A stabber in the back merchant not ever to be trusted.

You really must remember to switch your brain on brian, first thing if possible.

So is ignorant intolerance.

Why do you say that NR? what is the reason?

He has  limited political experience and it shows. A stiff public persona. He relies on a narrow circle of advisers and presides over messy party management.  He shows disproportionate emphasis on voters in the so-called red wall, and fails  to say clearly what he stands for. He is a big part of the reason why Labour underperform.

The Labour Party have much much deeper issues though. They have , essentially, in the last 20 years failed to renew themselves. They have failed to modernise.

And don’t think for one minute I believe the conservatives have it all good either. They are not without their failings. Top to bottom.
I made a point about KS. And I stand by it. I’m not interested in a right v left argument discussion either so don’t bother trying to stand up for all things Labour. I’m not interested.

Has no one told you Brexit has been done and you're supposed to be geting over it? Especially with it going so well. All you Remoaners banging on forever....

Plus extra irony alert about politicans that you trust!

Worrying authoritarian language vs an exposition on Peppa Pig.

We get it all in our politics don't we!

Me, I'll never vote Tory again because of the Gold Standard. And the Whigs can f**k right off over their position on the Corn Laws.

Wilts , that is just what people like you want, to forget what a treacherous B*****d he is , and his treacherous hopo's like Lammy, Thornberry and Cooper you are not shouting about on here for the last week, What's up are you at last showing some shame you lot, there's three to send a shiver down everyones back if stabber thinks they are the answer.
  They have turned into the biggest secret ever on here by his lordship and the disciples.
 Hang your head in shame if you hang on to the shirt tails of that lot.

The best thing the people of this country can do is get rid of the corrupt Labour Party and replace it with something that truly represents the working people of this country .

The party is nothing more than a party of choice for the metropolitan , liberal middle class voter .

It has absolutely no connection with the post industrial towns of this country anymore .

What is more galling is the fact it is unable to break out of its bubble and truly connect with the millions of voters it should be representing .

It is finished but in name only and I will make it my life's work to see that it bites the dust given that it is incapable of change .

I take it as read that this ensures the Tories will win but the Tories will win anyway with Labour under its guise so what's to lose ? .

My grandkids deserve better and I'll do my bit to ensure they get it .

But why this, you sound like a very average tier three football supporter

hmmm, let me think about that for a nanosecond .................. did he lie about brexit and put the lies on the side of a bus? did he lie about there being benefits from negotiating the worst deal possible, has he lied at all? Is he still lying about, well everything?
Has he been fired for lying? Has he broken the law? has he lied to the queen? hmmmm let me think about that for another nanosecond.

Starmer is the classic acceptance of the society we operate in within the UK looking to carve his place at the top of politics within the system .

The only thing missing is to go running off to Murdoch claiming " you've nowt to fear from us " although that may come .

What is principle without power I often here .

Well I'll tell you what power is without principles it's to be a sycophant to neoliberalism that's what it is .

To put an arm around the " I'm alright Jack's " that is what it is and the status quo .

Without principles you are a worthless piece of shyte in my opinion every bit as much as Bunter is .

The centre of UK politics is cowards territory , they should swap their red rosettes for white feathers .

Corbyn was on the right path despite his many failings as a man historically and a leader .

Confront what is wrong with this country head on , for the many not the few .

Even the centre and right of the Labour Party plotted his demise which exactly tells you what they are .

tl:dr.
I'm happy for the Tories to be in power for the rest of my time on earth.
