    Things that annoy you

    If you use slang, on these vlogs, such as - stan, so extra, limbs, sick, absolute scenes, made up - whether it be regional or generational- then you're aiming it at a niche audience. Fine, if that's what you want. But they are deliberately excluding the rest of us

    Chants ?

    Interesting that nobody seems to care about the disgusting violent misogyny in the Waghorn song lyrics. Has nobody noticed or is this "just banter"?

    Chants ?

    Point of order - These are songs not chants. We are not American "sports fans".

    I dont blame Corbyn at all for Remain being useless. I just point out that his personal contribution was small. The Tories are 100% responsible for Brexit. Labour should have had nothing to do with it. I think Corbyn was very conflicted and did his best. Which was very limited in its scope and...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    IIRC during the referendum campaign Corbyn refused to do televised debates or share a platform with any Tories, preferring to tour Miners galas, Friends of Palestine and such-like fringe left wing events. He may have persuaded a few on the far left whilst ignoring the rest of the population...

    Honesty is indeed commendable but it's merely being open about the ethics of gangsters and 'Lord of the flies' so excuse me for not cheering.

    There are better questions - Approaching the CBS arena - You have already brought snacks & treats. - Someone is collecting for a foodbank - You notice you have a fiver spare. Do you (a) stick the fiver in the collection? (b) buy your child / grandchild an EXTRA treat?

    In those immediate incidents sympathy is required. Tories are quite good at sympathy so would probably assist. What they lack is empathy as they don't have the emotional intelligence to discern suffering that doesn't have an obvious cause. Just my opinion.

    Teachers know this, of course. When you have to cover job/college applications and get kids to fill forms / create CVs the number that dont know their address, phone number, even birthplace is shocking. Many "I need to check my phone / text my mum to find out." Others don't realise that their...

    Look closely and you will see the Mail say "MPs" so they tar them all with the same brush. Mail and the Telegraph do this a lot. If they are criticising they say "MPs" or "Parliament" instead of "Tories" or "the government". This reinforces the public perception that, "They're all the same"...

    Close this thread. We are no longer able to influence political decision making through discussion and debate. We have an increasingly corrupt elected dictatorship and a critical number of voters don't seem to have noticed or care. If you ever vote Tory again you are complicit.
