Old school leftie, definitely. He's always been supportive of Corbyn and his video after Trump won made it explicit where his loyalties are.

I know where he situates himself on the political spectrum. I think he's mistaken / deluded / dishonest to a lesser or greater extent.

 

I had the same reaction to his Twitter feminist persona...

The left has changed. It always had a concern for its fellow man. It conveniently ignored it’s Stalinist abominations and clung to its humanitarian roots of all for one.

 

I cannot see an outlet for progressive left thinking in this world where Trump is Pres and Putin is in office.

 

I wish for an opportunity for left wing inspiration to rise but at the minute not a fucking chance. Corbyn needs to disappear. He is part of the problem.

Yes. I'd say he has left wing economic views, but finds much of contemporary left wing social views to be a heap of shite.

Yep, he has no truck whatsoever with identity politics. Be interesting if Tom Walker had the same views as his character.

People clinging to an online petition that is open to abuse via multiple votes, bots etc, that's pretty pathetic. Desperation, that's what it looks like. 

 

 

This is completely wrong as in the opposite  of the truth... where did you get it from?

The fucking Mail?

It's a symbolic gesture. The government has tried to pretend for three years that it is doing the will of the people. Here is a timely reminder that there are millions of people whose will is being ignored.

 

EDIT: And also, given it's already more than a million more people than voted Lib Dem in 2017, a reminder that the ultra-remainer vote is not limited to Lib Dem voters.

Any sad bastard that's signed it has wasted their time. It's worth precisely zero.

Doesn't Parliament now have to debate something that 48 hours ago was unmentionable? 

Doesn't the claim that May is speaking for "the people" now lie in ruins?

 

Nobody's forcing you to sign it. You can choose to wrap yourself up in vapid cynicism all you like, but you are flat wrong about the three and a half million people who choose to do something.

If you wanted to make a statement why don't you galvanise the people that want to stop Brexit and march on Parliament? That'd make a statement. Not sitting behind your keyboard with Cheetoo covered fingers signing a petition.

This petition kind of puts paid to the idea that people ‘just want to get on with it’ or they are sick of it. 

 

JHB has been caught out saying it can be gamed. 

 

Theresa May will go down in history as either a genius for stymieing Brexit or a villain for facilitating it despite knowing it was a disaster.

If there was an election tomorrow Britain would vote for the Tories.

 

If there was a second referendum tomorrow the people would again vote leave or at least 16m or 17m of them would.

 

What a fucked up country.

No one's crying at all, you moaning tit.  The petition picked up in direct reaction to the PM's speech, it's a timely statement (and there really aren't many ways to make our voices heard when we're this close to the wire) that she was talking bollocks.

 

The march was happening anyway.

You'd still be sat at home sniping about it.
