Only issue with that is that they look so out of place due to all the rest of those ugly ass inbred looking faces in the crowd.
Well I would say they deserve to be memes based on those pants.

Agree with what you say @BizzySignal.
Another issue I have is people that are say narrow minded that theyāll only vote one way their whole life irrespective of performance of the left or right wing governments. I can say Iāve voted both left and right over my time when it comes to elections, Iām narrow minded to the point itāll always be one particular way.

@arsenescoatmaker I donāt know to be honest mate, End of the day everything the government pays for comes from us, so question is are we willing to pay more taxes for these things? Most people here are willing to pay higher taxes for a nhs and free education, itās a sacrifice most British people are willing to make for the betterment of everyone else. I think Most people on this fair Island think everyone should be entitled to good health care and education (thatās debatable) Not sure if people would be willing to fund all that other stuff.
@Stroller not sure mate. I wouldnāt say weāve ever really had a proper free market economy to call it a failure when itās in a mess. Reasoning also being, that the market will correct it self with out intervention but that hasnāt ever really happened. Weāre capitalist society but also a pretty heavily regulated one.
@Aussiegooner yeah I donāt personally understand the obsession that it exists with partisan politics, especially in America. Itās so strange you can watch a random video on YouTube, and guaranteed there will be one comment at least talking about republicans or democrats. Itās a strange time, because like someone else said I think it was @JakeyBoy or @Electrifying Boris is meant to be a conservative right wing politician yet the amount of regulation and government intervention weāre seeing here in the UK now is probably more than any labour government of the last 50 years. So in this context what is right or left?
For me though I donāt personally agree with big government, over regulation, censorship, encroachment of rights or civil liberties, I donāt like this current trend towards victim culture where no one is responsible for anything and everyone is a victim in some way, donāt like PC culture and SJWs. Recently the more I read and watch Friedman, Sowell and Hayek and Frankl(especially in regards to personal Liberty and responsibility) the more I agree with them, the data they use for their arguments are very compelling to me. Not knocking anyone because I respect everyone elseās opinion, and I know we all have different experience in our lives that shape our opinions.

This is the thing, if in government I wouldnāt make the general populace earning under 100k pay more tax. Iād tax the fuck out of tax dodging companies like Amazon and Ebay. Iād put a 40% VAT tax on their websites and if they didnāt comply Iād make them illegal websites on any British ISP.
Thereās allot that can be done to make the mega rich pay their fair share to benefit the general populace without increasing the tax burden on 99% of citizens.

Maybe, but the general public would warm to the message. 99% of people hate big business not paying their fair share of tax. Trump actually got shedloads of votes on rhetoric such as removing corruption, ie ādraining the swampā. Tax avoidance of the mega rich is probably a bigger vote winner. As is offering more afforable housing, lower taxes for the working class and a higher minimum wage are all big vote winners because it helps most peoples actual lives
Yeah exactly!
Also, bailouts go against free market principles, and the surveillance expansion many right wing governments are doing goes against the idea of a small government.
So I think these are outdated terms.
But then youāve also got hard right people advocating for freedom of speech, while left wing people now want internet companies to regulate discourse on the net.

Itās more nuanced than this though isnāt it. Being deplatformed isnāt stopping someone from saying what they want.
Should a platform be able to ban someone from their service for inciting hatred, being racist, encouraging insurection and encouraging hate speech? Thatās their free market right surely. Itās not stopping anyone from having the right to speak, itās simply saying ānot in my propertyā.
So Property Rights always trump Free Speech in a democracy with free speech.
Weāre not stopping you from saying what you want, weāre just going to make sure that you canāt be heard.
Thereās also so called left wingers wanting to jail snowden, Chelsea Manning and Assange.
And then the right wing libertarians wanting them to be free.
There are strange alliances happening on each issue and the left and right stuff just doesnāt hold true imo.

By left wing do you mean the Democratic party? Iād consider them a right wing party, especially when it comes to their general warhawk stances. And generally we canāt forget they did everything in their power to stop Sanders winning 2 Primaries

His nerve toxin proof balls of steel. The man has just sent out a worldwide FUCK YOU to Vladimir Putin and his corrupt oligarch buddies by flying home to Moscow 5 months after being Novichokād - believing heād be arrested by armed police when he landed.
Youāve got to respect a man with that kind of dedication to his beliefs.
