Someone has different political views to yourself and you want to beat them up?
No. That's not the reason why. There is no sense with these people, no reasoning, no debate. Bring on a lefie who wants to bring about change in the seats of power by debate and campaigning, and I likely won't like what he has to say, but I will respect what he feels he has to do in order to stand by his beliefs.<etc.>
Exactly, which is why, although I disagree with him, someone like Tony Wedgwood Benn is respected by right and left alike. An intelligent person who puts his arguments across in sensible terms and an articulate speaker. Someone like Bob "one out all out bruvvers" Crowe simply gains my contempt.

I had one of these idiots recently on facebook. An old school *friend*, we left school in 1997. Since then he has been in the education system 'studying' and produced a few sprogs in between, basically achieved nothing worth while.

I made a few factual comments about the students/tuiton fee's and how much the protests disgusted me, what followed was a load of waffle and he deleted me as a freind, a complete fking idiot and he saved me a job......

Another one, staunch socialist and works as a manager in the NHS, very high opinion of himself, again voiced a few FACTUAL opinions and got totally slated and deleted.

These oxygen thiefs really do make me very depressed indeed. As others have said is it time to pack up and leave....so so so demoralising people are easily hood winked by mad lefties.

Worrying.
nono

More like deluded!

Perhaps I'm getting soft in my old age, but TBH I'm running out of the energy required to argue with these left-wing berks. Hearing the crap that they sprout just makes me depressed frown When will they be happy? When we end up like North Korea / Burma / Argentina / Zimbabwe?
Politics is a never ending circle of debate, most of it disagreeing with 'the other lot'. You have to admire the elephant skin that politicians grow when entering into their chosen fate. Best have a day or two away and come back refreshed.hehe

Can't take little forums like this seriously, 'strewth getting over excited about a few sentences on low level politics! Try Russia or Italy for real political stress. I agree that you should get a grip!

A truly stupid facebook group.

That said young people who openly refer to themselves as Tories do grate somewhat especially those who inevitably continue their sentence by telling you what their father thinks about the whole matter. I heard somebody, no older than twenty, actually use the expression harrumph not long ago, Jesus wept.

That said I think both Clemenceau and Churchill had a point:
"Any man who is under 30, and is not a liberal, has not heart; and any man who is over 30, and is not a conservative, has no brains."

You silly boy, you should play up to their image of you and humour them, I do! My dad was a bit of a leftie, NUR, voted labour etc. Sadly he died 21 years ago, bless him, but we used to have friendly discussions about politics. He could never see the irony of his pride in the fact that I was doing well in computers and had a company car etc. yet he derided capitalism. smile Roll-on 20 years and my father-in-law, who is 90, is far worse but having sparred with my dad I'm relaxed about his barbed comments. He thinks people with six figure earnings are the spawn of the devil, I love it, wear my blue tie, say how the city boys love "Boris bikes" and always praise the Queen's good work. biglaugh

Oh I know, we all grew up together and our parents are still in the same life style and environment and I am the eldest of my generation who also happened to do more than a little ok from an education and then work perspective, which it seems makes me a capitalist pig!

Very very odd to me, but makes me smile and think.... oh bless... now fk off I need to crush a peasant hehe!

Had an argument on someone FB the other day, and it ended up with the Lefties appealing to my friend to have me unfriended.

What is it with these people that are unable to tolerate a different perspective?

My friend in her infinite wisdom decided to pass on the advice.

(Although today she had some gobste going on about "Zionists" and Iran being a good place. I didn't argue with him, just cheered that particular pillock on!)

My take is.
The tuition fees debarkle should have been pushed back to the next government. How can a coalition where half of them promised before the election to reduce fees and then do the complete opposite. It's the Lib-dems I feel sorry for. They don't realise this yet. But they are truly being taken for a ride. How naive of them.
I'll never forget the cuts to the schools budget under Maggie's reign. Teacher's on strike every couple of weeks, after school clubs stopped etc. Today’s student certainly won't, as they will be paying it back for the next 30 years..

So its bad for the current government, but ok for the previous government? One of New Labours main promises before they got into government was that they wouldn't introduce tuition fees. Easily found if you care to look for it.

Remind me again which government introduced tuition fees? And why wasn't there the same level of public disorder then?

Both situations are a mirror of each other, summed up by 'governments lie to get into power' but if your socialist then 1 is ok and the other a betrayal of principles promises etc. Both the same, just different coloured ties, in this situation one red, one yellow.

Isn't it because the supporter of the left is more likely to protest/strike/riot than the supporter of the right? Or that the unions have had a symbiotic relationship with labour since year dot?

Erm, there are 57 Lib Dem MPs, compared with 307 Conservative MPs. Hardly "half of them", and I doubt they're being taken for a ride. Before the election they simply promised what they could never deliver, as they would never win an outright majority. If they had, they still wouldn't have offered free tuition.

Sad thing is that students don't realise that if tuition fees are in general taxation, that folk on minimum wage will be paying for their tuition. If we conclude that a university degree will get you a better job, then we can correlate very quickly that the poorest in society are paying for the richest.

Come on let's face it. The policy could have been pushed back until the next election. In one stroke the Lib-dems have lost a generation of voters.

Another crazy policy, scrapping the Harrier Jets without a suitable replacement in place. What the feck. So we have empty aircraft carriers now.. I've never heard so much crap. However I'm doing ok so why give a feck!!
