It was an interesting article, if a bit doom-mongering. I'm not sure I see a total economic collapse, but interesting times ahead no doubt.

Maybe just post a link?

I mean, of course it was aimed at you, you made the thread.

Whether he is a BS'er or not doesn't detract from the fact you sat at your computer today and decided, completely unsolicited, to create a post specifically just to crap on someone else. Super sad.

Anyway, filtered.

Tbh I think what is "pathetic" is making a post about someone that has been fairly amicable to all on here. Even if you don't agree with his take, he hasn't been a troll and he certainly hasn't made threads simply to bash on people.

But I understand that the small d*ck energy from a lot of people on here is based around ganging up on someone...

No joke, I wish I was more like chips and less of a cynical b@stard... The fella/lady has it figured out.

Lol Falky it's all good, I have a thick skin and I knew I was setting myself up for the joke when I wrote the comment!

Don't mind a bunch of right-wing loons or miserable boomers disliking me on here. Par for the course...

I'll have some of what you're having Chips.

Falky, I think I was one of the very few people on here that liked you. Oh well.

I believe Lloyds is down because God hates me personally. It's the only explanation. I'm doomed to lose money across all my investments.

By-election results since the last GE: 3 Lib-Dem gains, 1 Labour gain, 1 Tory gain. All Lib-Dem and Labour seats taken from the Tories.

So while I was a tad off, it's still a 4:1 ratio of wins to losses for the Tories.

As I say, the longer he stays in control of the Tory party, the better it will be for everyone in the long run. He doesn't know how to govern, he isn't a politician, he's just a toff with a desire for power. Let's just hope he accepts the news when he is finally booted out unlike his American brother-in-arms.

The longer Boris stays in power the more likely it is that a Labour government will win the next GE. He is clearly a liability, he has a completely inept cabinet, and every by-election under his watch has seen the Tories get trounced.

The public is sick of Boris, the Tories are sick of Boris, the only people left that support him are the far-right loons and they are too stupid to realize how much he is damaging the Tory party.

The fact people on here (who claim to be Tory voters) don't realize that literally every other opposition party wants him to cling on for as long as possible is, quite frankly, hilarious. He is an "asset" alright, an asset for everyone else.

Of course I hold shares. Why would I be here otherwise? Not that it matters because it's none of your business and I could easily lie even if I didn't hold any.

And once again, funny you single me out and not any of the vile hard-right folk on here. Is it just liberal lefties that aren't allowed to talk politics?

And which you apologized to me for. Again, funny you single out me for responding to the vile comments on here from bigots, but not to the bigots themselves. Have I made any political threads? No. I've only responded to them. Yet for some reason I'm the focus of your attention...

Both born in Manchester. They were British nationals and British citizens.

Shock horror, it's almost as if you think brown people aren't British...

My first comment of the day was literally replying to a thread TFE made asking what the point of the thread was. I didn't start the discussion on immigration or politics, so why are you picking me out?

You are welcome to disagree with any point I make, but if you have a problem with me simply making points then I can't help you. It's just more useless ad hominem personal attacks on me in lieu of an actual discussion.

Bumble

Wtf honestly. It's super weird that you don't call out your little far-right buddy TFE for creating the thread, but call me out for "steering" the conversation even though I simply just replied to it.

"Until you lot can up with something tangible", there are no easy answers to immigration. It's a complex issue with complex reasons for happening. You can't just throw people on a plane to Rwanda, expect something to happen and call it a success.

The solutions to tackle immigration need to be hollistic approaches that understand the reasons for people leaving their countries. They also need to understand that criminalizing immigration has never worked, will never work, and only leads to unnecessary deaths. Ultimately you need to have a tiny bit of compassion towards these people, instead of demonizing them and treating them as criminals.

The irony is, of course, that far-right nutters don't really care about any of that, they just don't want brown people coming into a white country. None of it has anything to do with humanitarian or economic reasons.

That said, if you think immigration is a great threat, then you should consider the reasons for it and how to prevent it. But as it stands, right-wing governments never have any solutions. Much like Trump and his wall that achieved nothing, shipping people off to Rwanda will achieve nothing.

It really doesn't matter what your motivations are, humanitarian or naked r@cism, because if you are completely in denial about the aforementioned things, then you're simply not going to actually change anything regardless of your political viewpoint.

The Manchester bombing was by a British national born and raised in Manchester.

Can I just say it is f*cking shameful to use people dying in tragic circumstances to further an already nasty political agenda. It's quite frankly utterly dispicable and disgusting to use that tragic story as justification for anything, let alone in defense of an immigration policy that has been roundly condemned.

Every humanitarian organisation in the UK has criticised this government's Rwanda plan and it is quite clearly a cynical measure from Boris to appease his hard-right backbenchers. So for any of the migrant-hating hard-right on here to start acting as though you actually give two f*cks about migrants dying trying to reach the EU is absolutely obscene.

This is about as low as it gets...

Are you trying to say a disaster happening on Spanish shores somehow justifies the ludicrous policy of shipping migrants to Rwanda? Or are you trying to say if someone doesn't mention every single catastrophe that happens around the world on a certain topic then that makes shipping migrants to Rwanda okay?

Or are you, as per usual, saying absolutely nothing about anything and just trying to be a contrarian fool? Anyone that thinks shipping migrants to Rwanda is a "humanitarian approach" is clearly detached from both humanity and reality.

Woah there, don't all these millennials know if they just stop eating avocado on toast and cancel their subscription to Netflix they will be able to afford homes?
