I'm sorry you feel i'm picking on you. You posted bollocks about the DUP receiving money, said your use of the word "bung" was throwaway then accuse them of skimming. I get you are a cynic but dont get upset if you post stuff as fact then get asked for evidence.

 

The rest of your post is lost on me i'm afraid

 

 

 

You what. Are you so naive to misunderstand a comment that is made by thousands of people a day about that money being a bung, because that is what it was, regardless of what the purposes that money was meant for. It doesn't mean I believe that money was meant for the DUP and the DUP only. I never posted it as a fact, it was my opinion. Fact is, politicians from all parties have a dodgy record throughout the decades of skimming money off the tax paying public and funds which are meant for certain areas, so excuse me for not being as trusting as yourself. The rest was lost on you because it doesn't suit your lopsided attempt to be a clever sod.

I read something you posted the other day, 'Only getting over the fact women get a vote' in the case for allowing 16/17 year olds to vote. I didn't jump on it, because guess what....i took it for a throw away comment or an attempt at humour.

Yeah and once I’ve finished designing my heatproof flip flops I’m going to go and have a dance on the surface of the sun

 

you’ve got no chance of fixing any of it, mate. Labour only has a slim chance and they actually have a strategic analysis based on addressing the crumbling capitalist system. The libs have nothing of what we need, I’m sorry. 

 

LOL, no worries, I'm sure revolutionary Marxism is just what they need instead

I am sitting in my underpants, eating Ben & Jerry's and watching Honest Trailers on YouTube. You can revolt against that if you want, I suspect most don't.

Incidentally, strawberry cheesecake Ben & Jerrys is amazing.

Ben and Jerry’s eh? A good socialist ice cream. We’ll win you around eventually

It all boils down to the money men being shit scared of Corbyn getting in as PM, you hear the same old smears against the EU due to the same things, money men being scared. It's these smears that led to Brexit and in turn yet another GE.

How controversial!

 

Think you should venture to the Corbyn thread mate.

My question was why all of a sudden so much attention to the Lib Dems, in a predominantly pro-Labour forum, by presumably Labour voters and supporters, was it somehow representative of the overall attitude. It it was, would it point to a somewhat surpisingly defeatist attitude, being focused on defending your table position from the challenger bellow you rather than going after winning the league.

Funnily enough Rachel Riley has just called out Rod Liddle for his shite about Muslims.

Who gives a fuck?

I think it's a "wrong thread" thing.

 

Over on the Corbyn thread, Nelly-Torres posted Liddle's comments and said "if the Canary had said this about Jews, Riley would explode". Of course, she would be right to and real Riley appears to be consistent with Nelly's hypothetical Riley, by calling Liddle a cunt.

Do you think Jeremy Corbyn’s approach in just ignoring them altogether is preferable?

I mean, who gives a fuck if she castigates some cunt when she also promotes one of the most virulent anti Muslim racists out there in David Collier?

 

Its meaningless. I’m surprised someone as discerning as Rico would fall for that level of “virtue signalling”

I really am not trying to be a clever sod, pedantic or pick on you. 

 

The money was a bung to Northern Ireland to get the DUP on board. No problem with that. No money was given to or skimmed off the top by the DUP. Thats what you said. I picked you up on it.
