Guest MattP Posted 5 April 2015 Posted 5 April 2015 Galloway gets elected because a hell of a lot of Muslims hate Jews. Just have a look at the comments from his supporters on Twitter or Facebook. Are people really that scared to sat it?
Guest Bilo Posted 5 April 2015 Posted 5 April 2015 You completely contradict yourself: you say 'hardly any party is pro-war', then follow it up by saying Cameron wanted to bomb Assad. And that was after he spent hundreds of millions of 'hard-working families' taxes bombing Gaddafi (that turned out well...) Yeah, didn't make myself clear there! We may have hawks on the front bench, but they'll always be scuppered in Parliament - as we saw with Syria. Libya was obviously catastrophic, but if you want an anti-war alternative, there's no need to go for the extremes of George Galloway and his personality cult.
Guest Bilo Posted 5 April 2015 Posted 5 April 2015 Galloway gets elected because a hell of a lot of Muslims hate Jews. Just have a look at the comments from his supporters on Twitter or Facebook. Are people really that scared to sat it? This is why he needs to be stopped and why the furore over him being called out on it on Question Time was a storm in a teacup. While he may not be an anti semite himself, he's more than happy to light the touch paper and watch the brain donors who vote for him explode into a frenzy of Jew hate and Holocaust denial. I understand, to a point, why Farage and UKIP think there's an agenda against them. Galloway and Respect, on the quiet, get away with a lot more.
Guest Bilo Posted 5 April 2015 Posted 5 April 2015 Well they are scared of doing a Blair. Blair is the reason why Respect exist unfortunately. I myself did not vote Labour until the key architects of the war in Iraq had gone, and many others did the same. This left a vacuum that Galloway was only too happy to fill, deposing a hard working Labour MP in Bethnal Green in the process. He then failed that community by being the worst value MP in Parliament, lost an election in a neighbouring constituency and swanned off to Bradford. Since then, he's outed himself as having very regressive attitudes towards rape and fallen out with vast swathes of his party, bolstered only by recruits who've been rejected as candidates by Labour. There's certainly no doubt he's declined though, that political mind that was so feared now appears to be dulled by either the passage of time or sheer narcissism.
Buce Posted 5 April 2015 Posted 5 April 2015 How do you know it's a damning indictment of austerity? Maybe if they'd have conducted this 'study' (clearly there was no academic rigour here whatsoever but I don't know what else to call it) during the boom years some teachers would have reported the same, or worse? This is just another example of the desperate left, or in this case a teachers union who of course stand to benefit directly from a labour win, simply inventing problems this election season. It makes me feel quite sad that people will probably actually be duped by crap like that and it makes me angry that I've paid for that bias crap reporting with my license fee, and I will be making a complaint to the BBC. A while back, you were pertectly happy to accept 'anecdotal evidence' that beggars earn £200 a day. As and when it suits your political bias, eh?

Guest Posted 5 April 2015 Posted 5 April 2015 If that is true why do we lag behind smaller no eu countries in terms of free trade agreements? And they lag behind us in trade! 7 of our top 10 trading partners are inside the EU.
MooseBreath Posted 5 April 2015 Posted 5 April 2015 A while back, you were pertectly happy to accept 'anecdotal evidence' that beggars earn £200 a day. As and when it suits your political bias, eh? The difference is that there are no reliable stats showing how much beggars do take, so anecdotal evidence is the best there is. While child poverty is taken and measured very seriously so we don't need to rely on these obviously biased studies.
Buce Posted 5 April 2015 Posted 5 April 2015 WTF am I doing teaching?! Contributing to society in a most admirable way, under increasingly difficult circumstances?
Guest Bilo Posted 5 April 2015 Posted 5 April 2015 Contributing to society in a most admirable way, under increasingly difficult circumstances? Well, yeah.... But £200 a day?! Do I get more if I've got a dog?
The Doctor Posted 5 April 2015 Posted 5 April 2015 £200 a day? **** the job search then. Moosler can't be serious...
Rincewind Posted 5 April 2015 Posted 5 April 2015 £200 a day? **** the job search then. Moosler can't be serious... Well he does get his info from a reliable source. Not that I'd like to stick my head up there.

SMX11 Posted 5 April 2015 Posted 5 April 2015 And they lag behind us in trade! 7 of our top 10 trading partners are inside the EU. Because... we are stuck in customs union.
Webbo Posted 5 April 2015 Posted 5 April 2015 Children 'living in Victorian poverty' say teachers: http://m.bbc.co.uk/news/education-32181848 Another damning indictment of austerity. A Liberal Democrat spokesman said that as part of the coalition government they had introduced "free early years education for the poorest two year olds, and free school meals for all infant children". A Conservative spokesman said under the coalition government "the number of children living in poverty has fallen by 300,000". He added that because of the pupil premium, the poorest pupils are getting an extra £2.5bn targeted at their education each year, which is already closing the attainment gap with their peers. Doesn't seem very damning to me. While we have bad parents, thick parents and parents with mental problems there will always be children that suffer. I hope nobody is claiming that there weren't hungry and deprived children during the boom years?
Rincewind Posted 5 April 2015 Posted 5 April 2015 The first one is a conman in London so cannot be counted as a true beggar or homeless. The second comes from a statement by a police officer and Leicester City Council spokes person. The Dawn Centre has had the services mentioned cut. Housing Options turn people away telling them they do not qualify for shelter thus making it appear that spaces are not needed and therefore close centres and cut funding. I agree that you should not give money. Either give direct to the charity, give food and clothing or direct them to where they can receive help and advice.

I'm sure that would go down well and wouldn't come across as patronising in the slightest
Buce Posted 5 April 2015 Posted 5 April 2015 Well, yeah.... But £200 a day?! Do I get more if I've got a dog? It was a quote from a copper in the LM, in which he said, "anecdotally, I hear of beggars earning £200 a day.." What kind of evidence is 'anecdotally'?
Guest Posted 5 April 2015 Posted 5 April 2015 Because... we are stuck in customs union. Okay, We aren't going to convince each other.
