I seem to remember an awful lot of posters sitting on their hands or agreeing when rich British landowners were hiring chartered planes to fly in poor Romanian veg pickers at the height of the pandemic. 

 

Can you put those at the very top right of the chart?

I am going with somewhere between outrage and indignation.

Well as one of the squares give the Brazilian Amazon as a choice, on an environmental issue i thought it perfectly and fair to bring up our recent aviation policy but as you've now poked your big fat nose in, which other threads bar the EU one have I "brought this shit into?  Over to you.

 

 

Edit: anyway I'm putting you in the bottom right box now, hope that's a lesson to you.

I thought I'd fish them out.

 

You were one of the main ones Stronts, didn't give a fuvk about the environment or the poor fuckers huddled in planes getting covid as long as the asparagus in sainsbury didn't go up.

He knows that he's just using it as an excuse for last summer when he supported aviational environmental abuse and slave labour.

Holy shit, what do you know, I really have moved to the right. I mean, under one point to the right, but still to the right. No wonder I like that fascist cunt Starmer. 

[Bjornebye]

Did the price of asparagus go up in the end?

I've essentially become Augusto Pinochet.

I've essentially become Jairzinho. There's a turn-up.

You're the type of scum I'm absolutely delighted has been kicked out of the Labour party.

[Numero Veinticinco]

So, what, we're all racists now or summink?

[Rushies tash]

Happy with that.

[YorkshireRed]

I actually feel like I’m moving further left. Can’t remember what I got last time though. Will probably now spend the rest of the evening challenging my own results.

Everyone’s left wing until they’re asked to pay for it.

Looks like I've been influenced by the Tory leadership contest. I'll be shooting the unemployed by Christmas.

This will piss Gnasher off.

Not sure exactly where on the graph I was last time, but it appears I am still a pinko lefty liberal 

[Section_31]

Don't you think the concept of left and right are bollocks now?

 

There's nothing 'left' about having a liberal view of drugs policy, immigration or transgender rights. Just like there's nothing 'right' about supportig an insurection which threatens to hang Mike Pence.

I think the way it's used in general parlance is bollocks, I think the way the Americans use a raft of political terms is fucking ridiculous, and I think the original meaning of the team right and left aren't well understood by those using it, so it's generally bollocks. The original meaning is still used properly by those in circles where things are well defined. In general though, yeah, it's a thing to throw at somebody to score a point. There has always been a 'purity' thing with the Left, but there's a particular thing with this Modern Left throwing it around. To quite a few, especially on Social Media, it seems to me 'are you a fucking Corbyn supporter are you a cunt'. Which, I mean, is absolute bollocks.
