The Politics Thread

Do you own a corner shop or something? Is everyone supposed to work at t'mill coz that's what used to happen? Dear me.

No, but how many hundreds of thousands of our 'youth' are going to be migrating to the EU for all the jobs it provides? Because that's what they are being sold by remain, and I was merely pointing out all the affordable housing in 'developing' countries like Bulgaria etc.

It's the fact that you associate where you live with where you work. I live in the UK but generally don't work within 200 miles of where I live and often not in the same country. That doesn't mean I want to move. There seems to be quite a few on here that do similar. The thought that you move house with every 12 month assignment is just stupid, but I'd expect no less.

And I'd expect that from one of a relatively small group no less.

Besides, since when have you been youth?

About the same time you got your first flat cap.

Just have to add a note here: Flat caps (better known as "ratters", were once the height of sartorial elegance (not for too long mind) along with yellow scarves and driving gloves. Fortunately, I was scooter riding at the time.

Shockingly an MP, Jo Cox, has been shot in Birstall and is in critical condition. Alas, not only in America...

Just between leeds and Bradford. She's known for her work to help the humanitarian crisis in Syria and Maria Eagle has tweeted that the man who shot her shouted 'Britain First', but it's unconfirmed. Let's hope she recovers. Mother of 2.

Paragraph from Alex Massie's Spectator piece, since removed, on Jo Cox and the UKIPs that resonates big time.

Also, if you retain any faith whatsoever in humanity, I'd advise against searching Twitter for "Jo Cox false flag"

I think some people moved into the world of very tasteless, dubious and frankly disgusting realm of desperation yesterday!

I wasn't going to get involved, but the blatant use of this tragedy for political motives, stinks!

I suspect this tragedy will have a significant impact on voter patterns, though it may take years for sociologists to analyze the full nature of the effect. Of course this is unfortunate, but not as unfortunate as a young and important life cut short.

[bobo the clown]

I'll be truthful though, when the news began to filter through my immediate presumption was that it would be an ISIS supporting fanatic. In a way it matters not who it was, it's a horrible thing to happen but that would have fed people's (including my) preconceptions.

[Prufrock]

Yep, but instead it seems to have been right wing terrorism.

Indeed .... or a complete fckg loony with no real alignment .... but yes, his motivations, such as they are, were 180° different to my initial expectation.

I suppose he could have just collected Nazi Memorabilia because he thought it looked cool, like Lemmy did.

[Worthy4England]

I'm sure it would have all been passed straight over had he been Polish/Bulgarian/Syrian and hollered "I love Europe".

To commit this sort of a crime he has to be this.

In a case of not-seeing-the-irony-whatsoever, Islamophobic hate group Britain First is angry that all followers of its party are being tarnished by one man's actions.
