Running a political party full of people like this is a good starting point: https://bylinetimes.com/2024/06/13/reform-party-candidates-continue-to-make-richard-tices-insistence-the-party-is-not-far-right-seem-questionable-heres-more-examples/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinahand Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 Laurence Britt seems to have started the fashion for lists of fascist characteristics back in 2003 in Free Inquiry, the journal of Secular Humanism. https://secularhumanism.org/2003/03/fascism-anyone/ Which gives me an opportunity to contrast fascism with the Affirmations of Humanism: https://secularhumanism.org/what-is-secular-humanism/affirmations-of-humanism/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P.K. Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 2 hours ago, Chinahand said: La Colombe likes putting up Xcreets accusing people of being thick or fascists. Spreading the unpleasant politics of name calling. The echo chambers of social media have a lot to answer for the coarsening of political debate. IMHO it's the policians themselves who are to blame for that: Johnson, Farage, Truss, Braverman, Priti Pointless Patel, Badenoch, Tice, Jenrick, Anderson, Francois the list of truly horrible, nasty, mendacious people just goes on and on... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn’t really the most aggressive of political grilling. And as you would expect Cleverley used the Gaming Board “get out”. It was a ten a penny interview the likes of which we see all the time. Possibly perhaps you are not used to seeing these types of exchanges, so it struck you as more dramatic than it actually was? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chinahand Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 So, La Colombe is this lady representative of the electorate of Clacton. What % of the vote do you think Farage will get. Sadly I suspect he'll get in. How about you? What do you think he'll get? And is calling those who vote for him idiots helpful in understanding why he is likely to win? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
