Ok. You can’t read either.



Anyway Farage has just been grilled on loose women most of which I couldn’t listen to due to sorting more important stuff out at home, but the bit I did catch was him stating that those campaigners that have been, have been removed.

Whatever that means.
What can't i read?
Seriously??

Read my question again, maybe a little slower.
This is your question

Do you have anything to back up your assertion that those that vote for Reform are racists and homophones?

Any web link or data will do.[\quote]

Those I cite above are likely to vote Reform considering they are representing the party. You can find the links yourself. But there is the data to back up the assertion.

Obviously its impossible to confirm that everyone that votes reform is a racist etc. Or is that the evidence you wanted? In which case you asked a question that you knew couldn't be answered. My daughter has names for people who do that sort of stuff.
I’m sure she has.

Does she also have a name for people who post the type of assertion my question was aimed at?

So your question was answered , you were called out on trying to be a smart arse and just had a pathetic response.

You always go quiet when called out.

I particularly like the like…

“I have answered a question that you didn’t ask and I’ve called you out on it”.

The more I look at the way our country has been run since the BJ government, the more I would prefer a coalition government where the radical headcases have moderation from the more balanced people.

I don't want the current flavour of Tories in power and whilst Labour are OK I don't think it will be beneficial to have total power.

But a Tory/Reform coalition would be a disaster as the headcases would rule anyway.
The Lib Dems got burned by coalition once, their price would probably be PR.

Labour/SNP coalition?

Problem with coalitions in countries with PR is that the minor parties tend to get somewhat disproportionate influence due to their role as Kingmaker.

Our sitting MP had his 5 min interview in the local rag this week..

I have gone off him just for 1 question that was asked OK it may well have been loaded but as far as i am concerned typical bloody MP response

Q Have you ever taken drugs? to me the answer is either yes/no however his limp wristed reply

A In the Armed forces we were drug tested.. Which to me if he cannot say NO it implies he did take them, only he was never tested positive

To Paraphrase Mr Savile are you a kiddy fiddler?

A i have not got a CRB record

So my MP must have taken drugs ...lol

Bit bizarre. I've got some sympathy.

I could say. I went to Ibiza in 2001 as an 18 year old with a load of mates what do you think?

But then they'd get some lurid headline that they're out of control drug user.

Patten having a low key rant on the state we're in. I guess, looking at the US, we should be grateful we have at least the option of a dull adult in the room.

I do t think it’s irrelevant to know a candidates position on drug taking. I’m socially conservative and view drug takers as weak.

Have you ascertained the answer to that question from every candidate in your constituency?

MPs who support prohibition of the use of recreational drugs should be regularly tested to make sure they aren't massive hypocrites. Everyone else should be allowed to blaze up behind the speaker's chair. hehe

That's an awfully big net you have cast.
Prescription drugs? non-prescription drugs? recreational drugs? legal drugs? semi-legal drugs? legal drugs that can be used recreationally?

I could go on.

I thought he was ambiguous: he said "drug taker" yet by describing them as "weak" it seemed he meant "drug addict". If "drug taker" was correct then further explanation is required of how that makes them "weak", and in either case, whether that includes alcohol, nicotine and, of course, caffeine.

I assume he meant addiction to illegal drugs of which he doesn't approve, but how can we be sure?

Is someone who smoked a bit of weed or tried ecstasy at Uni but hasn't had anything since "weak"?

Is someone who chills out with a spliff in the evening weaker than someone who does so with several glasses of Merlot?

If it turned out that Starmer dropped some acid at Glastonbury back in 1985 and hasn't taken anything since, would that make him too "weak" to govern the country?

Is a drug addict weak? Or are they ill like an alcoholic? What lead to them taking drugs? It’s often an illness like depression.

They can’t really be judged within knowing the full story.
