And even then - would they be wrong, these hypothetical people, to take food when they can't get it legally, in order to survive, or to feed their children?
Of course not.
Of course not.

Call them cunts and tell them they get nothing. Spit in their stupid faces. Put extra Asians in the Christmas adverts and explicitly say you're doing it to fuck them off. Tell them *no* for once Jesus actual Christ lads. Not "this is unworkable" or "this is expensive". Just no.

Justice administered by the victor was never going to be justice.
Honestly, I've thought a truth and reconciliation commission in the South African model was a better choice for a long time.

See, this is always where I disagree. Yes, he's vapid, personally dull and also vicious, both in terms of being a backstabbing wee shite, and in terms of legalised corruption. But are you trying to tell me that's not a perfect representation of the modern Labour Party?

Interesting to note that saying "they need bloody shooting" about someone on here would generate a knock on the door from the plod. But in a direct quote like this, not a problem, fill your boots, lads.

In fact, there's another reason, thinking about it. The Greens, by necessity, are a grass roots movement. So was the left under Corbyn, back in the day. When compared to a centralised, rigid, and thoroughly dysfunctional Labour bureaucracy, that's got a built in advantage against Reform.

None.
But his logic is relevant in making that clear. The Green rise in the polls would have to stop dead, right now, in order for the anti Farage vote not to be forced to go to the Greens, just to stop Reform. And there's no sign of that

If that's all it would take, we should do that asap. Get right on it, torch the fucking lot.

"critic of contemporary democracy"?
Is that the best they can come up with for an arch reactionarywho argues for ending democracy entirely?
You don't even need to twist his words.

Do we remember how popular Blair once was? And how loathed he is now, for his disastrous Iraq intervention?
This is worse. And anyone associated with these horrors will be viewed as badly. These MPs are idiots at best.

Had to go back and check, and no, she's there. It's the vertical line between Johnson and Sunak.
Bizarrely, she was less unpopular at the end of her tenure than Starmer is now.
