The amount of money Linker earns is irrelevant to his right to speak his mind as Sugar, Portillo and Meaden does. Yet before this no-one cared about it, and we’re supposed to see you and others as being offended by principle? Unfortunately this has just shot that in the foot for me. And before you start whining about personal attacks, you see fit to judge others like this, but moan when others do it to mr perrfect,
Bucks, stop trying to speak for me. I couldn’t give a damn if Lineker spoke in favour of the government on twitter. I’d have disagreed, but not disagreed with his right to free speech. I brought up Sugar’s strike comments in part because I want to demonstrate I am not being hypocritical in my stance. Yet you continue to do so because you have pigeon holed anyone who disagrees as being disingenuous, and it makes it come across as if no-one else can have at least somewhat a principled position besides yourself.
You have done it yet again with your fourth comment. I have not praised people traffickers, I agree they aren’t good, yet I am self-righteous for criticising Tories, while you seemingly aren’t for trying to guilt me and others with this comment. You’re only interested in attacking anyone to the left of Reagan, not actually discussing the topic at hand. You bemoan anyone else for pigeon holing Tories, yet will do so with others. To you we’re just some lefty hive mind, seemingly. Yet I don’t particularly like the further left, speaking as a generalism (I know some principled ones exist), and have expressed my ire on other threads. I am aware some of them are self-righteous, and have abhorrent opinions. I am aware many Tories aren’t abhorrent. Fat load of good that will do me. Having negative opinions of many other Tories makes me self-righteous and judgemental. While you deriding others as middle class left wing elitists is the height of balance, apparently. For some reason the majority of Brits disagreed with booting Lineker. They can be discounted though, because the only people who matter are the salt of the Earth common men who all think as you do. The rest of us are liberal elitists. Yawn. It’s ok for the right to demonise others, but the left doing it shows how nasty they are.
Who’s said there aren’t people exploiting the system? However, last year 76% of people claiming asylum from boat arrivals were successful, meaning 24% are not. Many of these will be the people exploiting. However, the Tory system will be to deport everyone straight away, so the 76% of successful applicants would go regardless. I find this horrible, yet saying such makes me self-righteous because it hurts poor Tory feelings. Boo hoo. It’s no more self-righteous than me or you holding negative opinions of Corbyn for his disgusting views on Jews and Ukraine. Yet one is acceptable for you, and the other makes me a pious hypocrite. Yet, I would argue it’s not me being hypocritical here. I have said several times I am not judging all Tories, but still the same crud characterisations come. It only makes me think of you as highly biased and lacking in any kind of balance. Yet you frequently come on here to bash others for such.
I do laugh at the Tories who think they represent the ordinary working man. Labour has cocked up with this, for sure, but the idea that the anti-woke and ranty Lee Anderson types are resonating at the moment is hilarious. Also
