Drunk politician may or may not have sung a song over a year ago.Another day, another anti-Semitism brouhaha around the Labour party - this one, sounds like an uncorroborated mess/smear but the homophobia sounds more likely. After Gideon Bull and Jonathan Friedman being stitched up by a "Labour" source yesterday, both main parties have had a hard couple of days.
A Senior Labour Politician Sang “Hey Jews” To The Song “Hey Jude”
Another Labour MP repeatedly called his colleague a “poof” during a raucous late-night bus trip last year.www.buzzfeed.com
It’s always ultimately been that way for the parties, but what they’ve done now is get the public onside with that mindset in a massive way, and got people to focus on their opinion not losing the argument rather than asking themselves why they even hold that opinion in the first place. Or quite often, IF that is really their opinion at all. It’s creating a society full of sociopaths where people laugh at and attack people on the other side of the fence, rather than view them as a human being who simply feels differently to them. We are now willing to overlook massively immoral stances and in some cases positively illegal activities, for which some politicians should be in jail, purely to jeer and snarl and scream in the faces of people who don’t think exactly the same as we do.
If you change your opinion then you’re backing down. They think you’re stupid, that’s why they’re saying you’re wrong. You’re not stupid are you? You’re not changing your mind, surely? That’s a surrender. True British warriors don’t surrender. Are you a coward? You’re not a coward, are you? Are you betraying us? Sure sounds like you are. We thought you were in it to win it, to make things great again. But you’re just a traitor if you change your position or open your mind in the light of evidence. Remember - your opinion is worth as much as anybody else’s facts. Can they REALLY prove anything anyway? Sounds fake to me. They’re just lying to prevent us reaching and achieving greatness, together. Do it for your ancestors, for your kids, your grandkids. WIN. BEAT THEM.
There is a now a WhatsApp conversation from someone who wishes to remain anonymous complaining about the bantz when it occured - now I am on the side of we all make mistakes in this and its a brouhaha that distracts from the human imperfections we all have. Sadly, a Tory candidate made comments 10 years ago on Facebook that bit him on the backside recently too. But as such, the cancel culture that is in place, Carden needs to step down, ignoring the fact he's actually a decent guy who made a mistake.
To quote Scott Adams. We live in a post-truth world, where the facts are meaningless. Sadly, such as Brexit happened and then Trump did, the abuse and vitriol went up and such meant the middle ground has been vacated because in some respects, so it's become deeply personal to those who voted for the former or the latter to not back down.
Who said I did! You're making things up again
Either you’ve got the memory of a goldfish or you’re as big a liar as Boris Johnson.
