Boris at it again and the contest to replace the lying c***

Authoritarianism here we come, Covid has hastened alot of shit that was slowly happening already. Just scare people enough and they'll give away their freedoms willingly. I don't trust these fuckers at all, there's no way they've seen how easy it's been and it not given them ideas. Why bother with the hassle of democracy when the alternative is so much easier.
 
Interesting piece on how the fear of death makes people more right wing, if anyone's interested:


It was written in 2016 about the psychological effect terror attacks have on people, the original idea comes from a book published in the 70's called The Denial of Death. Read that a few years ago and it blew my mind. It's hard not to be really fucking worried that everyone in the world has been constantly reminded of their own mortality for a full 18 months now. Covid really could be the support band before the main event IMO.

Has this made us more right wing as a nation or people though? Or just more comfortable with an increase in totalitarianism, which is neither right or left wing?

Good question, I get a sense it's making us more right wing, but I'm biased. The thing that worries me the most is the totalitarianism, left of right. The idea someone can have a different opinion and still be a good person seems to be disappearing. What do you think?

Yep, i'm with you there, just looking at something as simple as the masks in the last few days, the anger on both sides is insane. For me, if people want to wear them, fine, if they don't, fine.

We are so divisive now on every issue, i'm not sure that's necessarily a right wing thing either though as both sides who disagree seem to equally nasty, but i definitely recognise we are far less forgiving of opposing views than we used to be.

I don't think you are allowed opposing views anymore and there is certainly is a need to be triggered, take any contentious thread on here, I know he's a Corbynite comedian but this is so apt :
 
There is nothing Corbynite about JP.
It's not even side versus side, it's sides within sides. Look at Labour, been tearing themselves apart on and off since '79 and permanently for the last 6 years. There are people on here who've openly said they'd rather be in opposition with the 'right' leader than in Government with the 'wrong' one

I just assumed that you didn’t have any opinions, I didn’t realise you felt that you weren’t allowed them.

That is really sad, I am so sorry for you.
 
The 3% rise in the pay of NHS workers will be financed from existing NHS budgets, rather than an increase in funding to them.
 
So robbing Peter to pay Paul meaning that somewhere within the NHS, someone misses out on funding. Brilliant idea :rolleyes:
 
We can afford a new royal yacht though and to commission studies on stupid fucking bridges/tunnels that would never work and never be used.
 
Dawn Butler removed from the House today for stating that the Prime Minister lied to the Commons. She wouldn't withdraw that statement saying something along the lines of.... how sad is it that the person calling out the lies is the one punished rather than the one telling them.
She has a point.
 
She gets the same punishment for saying what is provably true as three Tory MPs who tried to influence the trial of a sex offender. Seems about right.
 
Surely a comment such as all the members opposite tell the truth except the honourable member for Uxbridge and South Ruislip would have sufficed?
