WhiteRoseKillie Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 14 hours ago, Highland Capital said: People who treat supporting political parties like supporting their football team. It's become particularly prevalent over the last decade and it does my head in. The fact that support for parties should always remain massively conditional seems completely lost to some people. An extremely accurate summation of Politics' wee area of the overall dumbing-down of the populace. What is even worse is that this arrogance runs both ways - look at Labour's continuing confusion why they're fucked north of the border, and why so many members* are leaving Keef, Mandy and the rest** to "unify"*** a Tory tribute act down south. * Including YT - still (always) a Socialist, I'd not remain a member of a party which excludes the likes of Ken Loach**** even if it were free. ** I'll give anyone an even money shot that Bliar and/or Broon get wheeled out at next years Conference. *** read, "shed a massive percentage of members who might not like hearing Tory policies from a "Labour" Party who don't appear to know the meaning of the word "opposition"". A percentage, moreover, which I would be willing to bet contains a high number of those members who got out on the streets and knocked doors to deliver a message in 2017 which would have led to a better future, had Yer Kinnocks, Ummunnas et al not worked from within to protect the status quo. ****Yes, I'm a fanboy, but I've known Ken for twenty years and a kinder, more decent human being you'll never meet. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vikingTON Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 It's certainly reasonable for people to treat politicians with varying degrees of contempt, but the operative word is varying. Anyone who claims that there is no fundamental difference between different political parties or representatives and think that this S3 Modern Studies level of analysis marks them out as insightful is indeed a verified moron. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get those counted in assorted bank bags, take to the bank and don't lose a percentage of all that sweet, sweet Sterling. I think in Switzerland, you can literally deposit coins at certain machines at your bank. Not sure why this isn't a thing more widespread. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
