BNP wins seats

[LeazesMag 0]

No, because it's unsubstantiated hearsay quoted as an opinion piece in a right wing rag written by a woman who is as mad as a box of frogs. It's about as far away from a balanced viewpoint as is imaginable. I'd say the same thing about a left wing publication if it was that stupid (belonging as I am pretty much in the centre of British politics I'd say).

 

What's the point in AA trawling the internet citing other people's right wing views any way? A bit pointless really.

 

I notice how its a "right wing rag" but a "left wing publication". that pretty much demonstrates your political 'objectivity' to me.

 

and pardon me 'for trawling the internet' as you say but i do believe that this is a thread about the BNP and how they are winning votes? Imo, this is relevant piece which states the cause of many peoples disatisfaction with the mainstream parties.

 

 

thats your brainwashed geek students for you

 

Of course. AA picks up on a pedantic point and you just have to back him up because it was aimed at me, you big bairn. Par for the course, just like when Fop, the most tedious fucker in the history of the internet, became your champion.

 

You've already embarrassed yourself on another thread today by making it clear to everyone on here you don't have the first clue what a University education entails, mind you've been doing that for years (Learning? From books?! ). I'd quit while you're behind if I were you.

 

the most tedious fucker on here is you. FOP tied you in knots you daft cunt.

 

How do you know I don't know what a university education entails ? I do know, they give certificates out for virtually nothing these days. The standard of education is abysmal in comparison to a few decades ago, whereby everybody "passes". It used to be "O" levels or nothing, now a GCSE grade 3 or 4 is a "pass".

 

If the likes of you is an example of what uni churns out ie a do gooder brainwashed geek, it sort of proves my point.

this is relevant piece which states the cause of many peoples disatisfaction with the mainstream parties.

 

If people read bullshit like that and take it seriously then the dismissal of BNP supporters as racist fuckwits is pretty accurate.

 

 

If thats your point of view NJS then thats great. I still think its dangerous for anybody to totally dismiss everything out of hand just because it comes from a right wing perspective tho. If thats the case then you're as blinkered (LM would say brainwashed) as the 'fuckwits' you porport to attack.

 

I don't dismiss it because it's written by a cunt in a cunt's paper intended for cunts to read - as I said previously I dismiss it because of its unproven sources, fantasy conclusions and undercurrent of recism typical of the bitch.

 

Wow. Thats very open minded and intelligent of you. Does Renton agree

I know because of the Falklands thread man. It's they're for everyone to see, you haven't got a fucking clue about what further education entails.

 

Fop tied me in knots? Righto.

 

By the way, it may interest you to know that I am old enough to have taken 'O' levels, not GCSEs, you sad bitter bairn.

haha, I got O Levels Renton, quite a few in fact, and was happy with it, I've had a good career lad.

 

However I don't close my mind when I look around and see how the country is changing like an "i'm alright Jack" sort of guy does. Nowt wrong with that, you should do the same.

I'd rather not talk to you but at the same time its pretty hard to post on here and not defend myself from your incessant abuse. If you find me so tedious, why do you seek me out and mention me as a third party in so many of your posts? Something I have only done once (to my deep regret now).

 

I'm happy for you that you did well with your 'O' levels and have had a good career (whereby you have gained so much life experience). I did well with my O levels too, went to Uni (to study medicine and science), and now have a great job thanks. It begs the question though, why would a man who has such a content life end up so bitter as you come across here? Not just about immigrants, for instance you've also shown you're bitter against students in this thread as well. Glad I'm not like that.

 

P.S. You're behaviour with Dave from N-O is amongst the saddest things I have ever seen on a message board. Seriously man, you should be embarassed at your age.

If you don't want to "talk" to me, don't. Stay with your conviction instead of backing down like a bairn. As for NO, it's a shame that good posters get banned on there, in my case for posting comments which were ultimately proved correct. I asked them to discuss it like an adult but it was actually rather childish that he would not respond IMO. So I created 2 new logins.

 

It's a bit like you really, you won't or can't admit that you were wrong. Like an adult.

[manc-mag 1]

To be as bitter as Leazes quite clearly is at his age really is tragic tbh. There's so many inadequacies evident that really should have been worked through before that stage of life, particularly with that much life experience to draw upon. You only see it in people who know they've wasted their lives-complete frustration projected onto everything else around them because they know theyre so demonstrably incapable of improving their lives for themselves.

 

There's no way a genuinely accomplished person of that age should get so absurdly worked up by posters in their teens etc. as I've seen on numerous occasions from Leazes. In that sense it really is a character trait to be pitied.

Have you had a think yet which European countries are doing well outside the EU zone?

 

 

Norways doing pretty well.

 

"After World War II, Norway experienced rapid economic growth, with the first two decades due to the Norwegian shipping and merchant marine and domestic industrialization, and from the early 1970s, a result of exploiting large oil and natural gas deposits that had been discovered in the North Sea and the Norwegian Sea. Today, Norway ranks as the wealthiest country in the world in monetary value, with the largest capital reserve per capita of any nation. In August 2009 the nation's sovereign wealth fund announced that it owned approximately 1% of all the stocks in the world, presumably referring to publicly traded stocks. Norway is the world’s seventh largest oil exporter and the petroleum industry accounts for around a quarter of its GDP. Following the ongoing financial crisis of 2007–2010, bankers have deemed the Norwegian krone to be one of the most solid currencies in the world."

That's because they didn't have a government who wasted the North Sea bonanza on giving money away to the rich. They also didn't abandon manufacturing in favour of a service based economy.

Name these European countries that are doing well outside the EU then. Small independent countries with massive resources aren't really comparable to the UK btw, before you trot off Norway and Switzerland (and btw look at the state of Iceland now). It's a daft proposition for the UK to leave the EU and one which no serious economist or politician would entertain.

 

The population of Norway is less than that of Scotland btw, I'll leave you to work out the relevance of this.
