‘I could not dig: I dared not rob. Therefore I lied to please the mob. Now all my lies are proved untrue And I must face the men I slew. What tale shall serve me here among Mine angry and defrauded young?’ Remind you of anyone?

BBC were forecasting economic growth to be 0.1% with all sorts of problems foreseen. Economic growth comes in 3 x higher than forcated at 0.3% so the BBC changes its headline to “UK economic growth slowed to 0.3%”. You just can’t win with our media.

Nobody is talking about communism. So you appear to be having some weird argument in your own head.

Why are you babbling on about Karl Marx? Are you having an argument in your own head?

Lol, and that will power how much exactly at what cost & to whom? Take all the time you want to. You have been exposed very quickly as the NIMBYS you are. Greens also opposed affordable house building in Bristol where they are power. Shame on you hypocrites.

What the “let’s leave the ECHR”
Brigade forget is that without it, any government with a huge majority, like the current Labour government could enact any laws they want to, including banning political parties they don’t like — be careful what you wish for.

Douglas Carswell, Diane James, Patrick O'Flynn, Godfrey Bloom, Suzanne Evans, Ben Habib, Rupert Lowe, and now Zia Yusuf.

Can anyone spot a common denominator?

If you want to unfollow then I’d rather you just block instead, you don’t get to see my posts that way. I’ve fixed it now.

And yet it was in the manifesto they were elected on. I’d say that’s democracy in action.

Farage gets the occasional interview where he is actually asked a question he doesn’t like. Farage blusters, the interviewer asks again, Farage gets annoyed & says “I tell you what” then proceeds to rant about something completely different. Interviewer says nothing more. Sound familiar?
