Its interesting how the lefties attack anything they can to win ground over the right, especially UKIP, but perhaps they should look closer to home.

Of course this sort of thing can be found with all the parties, but no one seems to pay any attention when its on the left side.

    Can't think what brought this thread on! Tit. Tat.

    I'll take that bet.

    ETA: We may have a different definition of what "gets better" means.

    Its interesting how the lefties attack anything they can to win ground over the right, especially UKIP, but perhaps they should look closer to home.

    Of course this sort of thing can be found with all the parties, but no one seems to pay any attention when its on the left side.

    That's because the left's heart is in the right place and they have good intentions, so people are willing to look past a few daft gags and faux-pas.

    Fun though. I'd been lurking for years, before joining. Always found DS an amusement and even if everyone's 'bonkers' (well..... everyone is to some level) it's still another window into the world. Down the 'pub' with a pint basically, but in the comfort of your own home / office etc.............

    You can't generalise. People of all walks of life, of different political leanings have kindness and generosity in them. Supporting a right wing party or being in a right wing party doesn't make you a demon. They're just people with different ideas.

    Oh please. Which "left" is this then? Presumably not the one who only seem to be capable of speaking in terms of "scum, "vile", "hate" etc. etc. etc. Semantically, they're an inch away from the BNP.

    Politically, neither the left nor the right are paragons of virtue.

    Another desperate thread. Who ever tried to claim only one party has perfect members? This is barrel scraping of the highest order.

    The usual suspects will completely ignore this thread, they have an agenda and won't defend themselves.

    Are you for real?

    All the anti Cameron threads and you call this desperate?

    What about the Cameron & Boris going to Nursery are you going to tell them they are desperate or Jojoeno thread about Cameron on This Morning?

    A moment ago, in another thread, another user spoke as if the Tories were the only party to have such issues.

    As you will see, I have said this goes on it all parties, but the left don't seem to know this.

    So funny Deidrie comes on here to berate you and call you desperate but ignores the Cameron & Boris goto nursery thread.

    You can't make these Labour types out.

    Good film.

    I'm not a "usual suspect" but are you suggesting the OP is agenda-less and people who disagree with him aren't? Interesting!

    He is trying to put the other side and the anti Cameronites will ignore it (except Deidrie).

    Well in fairness before you edited it, the thread title was 'Labour SICK'.

    Still, the other thread about the Mirror story has dropped down, so well done you!

    Yes, but I thought I would show the other parties so that it did not look like an attack on Labour alone.

    Labour and the Lib Dems are centre right parties (in as much as the Lib Dems are anything, given they have no beliefs or principles), being slightly to the left of the Tories doesn't equate to being left wing. The Greens are left wing, though.
