Or the media just likes the most sensationalist story's and your trying to find excuses just like trumps alt-riche fan Bois where when they thought they were going to loose?
Why in gods name should we belive your excuses of media bias when we didn't belive there crap?
Feel free to go through my posts and look for me using the word "retard". When you don't find it, you can come back here and fucking apologise. I don't use language like that, never have, never will. I'm passing comment on what people are doing. If they are voting against their own best interests, I will damn well call them stupid for doing so. I'll call the idiots for doing so. Their actions are the problem, not the gender, age, sexuality or any other aspect of what they are.
Maybe you just thought you saw left wing people in this thread using language like that because you'd seen a report about how we do that in the media?

No there's been several using the term retard and mentally challenged.
^is that right for you to say, calling people mentally challenged? As you have autism and your son does and I have dyspracxia and dyslexia do you really think it's right to use that kind of language. You know how much shit we face because we have mental disabilitys and being assumed to be stupid or not 100% right.
Temper your damnd arguments when your talking about the people who flipped, because Eod in 5 years we need them to flip back.
Also slightly kinda distastful using domestic violance as an analogy to politics. This is nothing like the horrors women and some men face daily at the hands of abusive partners.
Hope the Brits are ready for Boris to offer up your NHS on a silver platter to Trump.

Going into this I thought that I would be salty as fuck. Turns out, I don't care anymore. I didn't vote for this shit, I don't have to worry about culpability anymore and me and the wife are financially secure. I'm as free as can be and my conscience is clear so do your worst Mr Johnson.
Yes.
The question, though, is what % are you along that path.
I reckon I’ve moved from 50-50 pre election, to 75-25 post election.
75% of me has no more fucks to give. 25% still does.
Part of me still genuinely sympathises with those who will suffer as a result of this, even if their parents voted for it.
The problem will be when I reach 100% no more fucks to give. It is at that point that I will start evading tax / assaulting boomers etc.
I'm not 100% sure but Scotland is (or was at the time of the last indyref) roughly balanced compared to the rest of the UK. They're racking up debt like the rest of us but it's roughly proportional with Scottish GDP. Any extras that might get thrown up there can be seen as compensation for the UK as a whole profiting from Scottish oil fields.

Where do Americans get their weird ideas about British politics? I don't think I've ever heard Corbyn address the problems of trans- people. In fact as a nation we seem to have avoided the obsession you lot have with pronouns other than my own personal dislike of using the word "they" for personal and impersonal, singular and plural forms.
Well, I can't speak for rural conservatives in the UK, but if rural American conservatives actually did care about what's best for them and their family they sure as hell wouldn't be voting republican.
The biggest parallel between US and UK that I've seen would be that. People voting to cause themselves pain.
Rural Conservatives are absolutely minted mostly. The US has the advantage of alot of space and land. The uk is smaller than most of your states, we have farmers ofc, though there far from poor in the most part but most that occupy those littel picturesque villages of rural England with those nice thatched roofs have at least a couple mil packing there bank accounts to be able to afford the privilege and premium land prices of living in Nice rural areas.

To say the Americans claim to be mostly God fearing Christians, they have an awfuly huge obsession with what's in people's pants and who there sharing a bed with.
One thing we need to keep avoiding and casting out is any right or left wing people trying to bring that form of toxic political debate into the UK.
There is nothing of value for any party on the left or right to gain by going down that road, it only serves to drag politics further into the mud and Impeed progress.
The only people who aren't all in on LGBTQIA+& whatever in Britain by now are the Non-Christians whom are for a variety of political reasons untouchable.
Wokeness is different in the UK. Parallels exist and in some ways Wokeness is more institutionally entrenched because speech codes and hate speech are a real concept in the UK but not the US.
On MMO-C we learn that Anti-Fascism is locking arms with corporations, the State Department and agreeing with the CIA, But opposing the CIA and corporate America, and thinking Jews have a right to buy land and can expect tenants to pay rent THAT is ultra-Fash Nazism. Bellingcat is an MI6/CIA cut out. Clyburn Truther.
I bumped into a quick Twitter clip of him saying, "my pronouns are him/his".
I want to be really clear that I'm not being glib when I say that I don't want to project American politics onto Britain though. I saw a thing, that doesn't make it a thing that actually matters and I'm very cognizant that I know basically nothing about localized British culture and politics. If you tell me that this just isn't a thing that matters in Britain, I flatly believe you that this isn't a thing that matters in Britain. A rando tweet isn't a good substitute for living in a place, obviously.
As a minor clarification point, I'm perfectly happy to accommodate trans people's pronouns. Misgendering people who have are clearly shooting for a given gender expression isn't something I'm shooting for.
Labour got crushed. Gits trying to oppose a referendum result for 3.5 years finally got some karma.
And still you see the delusionals yelling "but nobody wants a brexit".
People obviously want a Brexit. But, what do Brexiters expect Brexit to do exactly? Specifically.
The hilarious thing in the next couple of years will be the steady cull of unicorns as the realisation dawns that they won't get any of the benefits the Brexit crew promised them. Boris is going to end up as the Pol Pot of unicorns when this shit plays out.
I've got my popcorn. I've washed my hands. The Brexit guys have decided that they know what they want, and they've elected a government to get it for them. Good luck to them, because they are really going to need it.
