What news?

[LadyOnArooftop]

I am like Liverpool re the Sun

Never let anyone dictate what newspapers you can or can't read - that's exactly how Nazi Germany started!

 

[Wojcik]

Do you take a newspaper?

Which one and why?

I used to get a paper for my late father, as he would like to read them. It was usually the Daily Express or The Sun. As for me, i don't read any papers, and try to avoid all news media channels if i can. If i have that itch that needs scratching, there are a bundle of independent content creators who offer an alternative on a very small budget.

I periodically dip into all the mainstream, both left and right.

Know your enemy...

The Canary. Morning Star. Left-Wing UK. Socialist Worker. Evolve Politics. All That Is Solid. The Skwawkbox.
Another Angry Voice. Factcheck.


And many many more.

 

[Wojcik]

"Know your enemy..."

And that's what is wrong with today's society. Everyone believes that people who disagree with certain views are evil. But this is the same dangerous ideology that eventually led to millions of deaths across the globe. From Mao to Marx, to Premier Stalin of the infamous Soviet Union.

The tories have murdered 130,000 during 11 years of austerity. Upwards of 10,000s during Covid.
Decimated communities all over the UK, which will never recover, and now some wet behind the ears kid, who publicly announces he doesn't even read newspapers, is waffling on about a subject in which he has no knowledge whatsoever.

That's the real problem with today's society. Really really ignorant people having an opinion on subjects in which they know nothing about whatsoever.

Fair comment. I feel your anger towards the Tories.

There are so many Ignorant people these days it's astounding. No one thinks anymore...! About their actions Etc.

I'm a humble bloke. I think before i take a stride.

That said... I have a strong self preservation system.

I think most of us probably enjoy a genuine debate but you just can't have a healthy grown-up debate with people who really do believe anything left of Thatcher is straying into dictator territory.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not a fan of the Conservatives. But when there's no credible opposition, and we resort to calling people evil, we're not changing anything. And the thing is both sides do it. I hear Conservative or Labour voters constantly, instead of just a voter who can be won round with a rational argument and debate.

Politics is for grown ups!
Think before you post.

I'm proud to have conservative views, no doubt it's down to my ignorance. It comes from being poorly educated, and who do I blame for that? not myself for a start! I blame Labour, yes Labour! for closing the local grammar school that I should have gone to... but instead ended up at the local dive of a comprehensive, which was staffed by teachers that couldn't teach and pupils that didn't want to learn. But you know, does anything matter? We're only little people.

My local grammar went public fee paying after I left.
Posh eh?

Your last line fits most people in our society. Except that i get told that "i don`t care about others " by a certain poster on the Forums .

Haaa ,so there were other reasons why kids didn`t get their "proper " education beside Nasty Little Viruses ?

Thing is, when you are young and ignorant, or just plain ignorant, you will lean towards a leftish position with your politics.........seeking equality and all that stuff.
Ain't no such thing!

Them there baby boomers. The special little cupcake generation. I mean it is not like the "left" did anything for them and their partners and families and throughout their entire lives, is it?

The NHS.
Affordable Housing.
Full Employment.
Pensions.
Maternity Leave.
Holiday Pay.
Sick Pay.
Universal Education.


To name a few.

Now that they have bankrupted society the baby boom generation tells the rest of us that there "ain't no such thing as equality and them there lefties and their vision of a fairer society live in cloud cuckoo land."

This is why they stood by passively and watched the tories murdering 10,000s of their peer group by dispatching patients infected with Covid back to care homes. They have been programmed over many decades to doff their caps and get down on a bendeth knee and to be grateful for all that they took for granted for so long and of course, it will be the "lefties" who fight for a fairer society and justice for the Covid victims and their families.
