General Election - July 2024

[twoleftfeet]

This appears to be the rumour on Sky. An easy win for Starmer and some big names losing their seats. The Country needs a change but is it going to get one? The thought of seeing that annoying Beth Rigby for 6 weeks though is a horrifying thought.

[Mike Oxsaw]

Dunno. Any truth in the stories that the Irish potato famine was not being caused by real potatoes?

[collyrob]

Is there any truth to the story’s of reform candidates not actually being real people?

[Side of Ham]

"Every time Pickle posts on here reminds us of the fuck up he thinks he’s made by going back to Poland…..why otherwise would you bother? It’s pure bitterness from him, and he hates the fact that next to no one on here (no matter how bad it gets) would want to live on the border with Russia like he does…..he’s fucked up badly thinking the wall coming down would mean lasting peace in that area…..so he tries to make out we have it bad and are bad people."

[WHU(Exeter)]

"I’ll take that as a “no, I won’t be able to”."

[Hammer and Pickle]

ZzzzzzzzZzzzzZZZZ

[WHU(Exeter)]

"And where exactly have I denied you your opinion? You’ve stated it and I’ve offered that it’s ridiculous and irrelevant. You’re quite welcome to carry on with the ridiculous and I’ll feel free at the same time, in calling it out for what I think it is. I’ve tried to offer a thought out and sensible counter, in my first post on this. Asking why Irish politicians don’t begin as an introduction with ‘half of my family were wiped out in the potato famine’. Maybe you could respond to that in a sensible and considered manner, as opposed to trotting out tiresome stereotypes?"

[Hammer and Pickle]

"Good Not denying anyone their opinion is a step forward from “It’s ridiculous and irrelevant and it’s being spouted in the first place, is due to the conditioning of thousands of ridiculous people like you.” when it comes to being cool and open-minded."

[WHU(Exeter)]

"I’ve no interest whatsoever in any political party H&P, and even less so in attempting to set their agendas. I’m not denying anybody an opinion either, so unsure why you went down the white, straight, etc etc rant. Is that what usually comes after the ‘wound up’, ‘hot under the collar’ starter for 10? Equally tiresome and pathetic."

[Hammer and Pickle]

"Yes when groomed to be an idiot, practical skills are not exactly developed and reinforced."

[Lee Trundle]

"""address the real world "" hahaha - right on cue!"

[Hammer and Pickle]

"ENTITLED is exactly it. And what absolutely boils your piss is, while you are entitled to your opinion, you are not necessarily entitled to setting the party agenda and defining party policy. Being white, male, straight and working class just ain’t enough - you’ve got to talk sense, address the real world and accept that what you have to offer includes the interests of people who are NOT the same as you; they may be female, not necessarily heterosexual, well educated, black, specialised and often a lot more capable than you. Just shut it and deal with it, arsehole."

[Lee Trundle]

"WHU(Exeter) 1:13 Wed Jul 10 ""If anyone dares to call out nonsense for what it is, in a considered argument, the likes of you instantly revert to the same crap about ‘hot under the collar’, ‘angry’, ‘wound up’ etc etc."" He's started to mention ""in the real world"" recently. How some constantly drunk polishman living in poland has any idea what the real world here is like is anyone's guess."

[WHU(Exeter)]

"And you’re still replying H&P. “Rattling on”? I thought it was discussion?….this is a forum yeah? The same predictable, tiresome, pathetic ‘argument’ every single time something of this nature crops up. If anyone dares to call out nonsense for what it is, in a considered argument, the likes of you instantly revert to the same crap about ‘hot under the collar’, ‘angry’, ‘wound up’ etc etc. Is there a guidebook for the ‘right on’ that you all use, because it really is predictable to the nth degree. If I consider something ridiculous, then (living in a democracy, for the time being anyway), I’m entitled to have an opinion on it and discuss it, and I do because I’d prefer not to live in a ridiculous world, created by the likes of you."

Pickle ridiculous? Do I have to remind you that his YouTube videos have had 175 views in 3 years. 150 of those were me when I fancied a laugh.

[Hammer and Pickle]

…. and you’re STILL rattling on. Absolutely HILARIOUS

[WHU(Exeter)]

"“Really funny how this kind of emancipation narrative really makes you old Union wankers lose your shit” It’s not ‘emancipated narrative’. Banging on about things that happened hundreds of years ago, with no relevance to the here and now, is pretty much the exact opposite of ‘emancipated’. It’s ridiculous and irrelevant and it’s being spouted in the first place, is due to the conditioning of thousands of ridiculous people like you."

Hammer and Pickle 8:39 Tue Jul 9 Re: General Election - July 2024 Those kind of net immigration numbers can only be created by labour market demand Wrong again. What we’re getting is dependents and freeloaders coming here & not contributing. You’re still just bitter about brexit derailing your gravy train.

[zebthecat]

Come off it MO. We have had a minimum wage for years now. Yes there is a psrtial get out that sponsors can use to pay workers they recruit from overeas 15% less than UK residents but slave labour is still illegal.

[Mike Oxsaw]

"Is pickled advocating that in a civilised UK, business employ slave labour and pay them slave labour rates (just) so that their products & services are ""affordable"" to it's target customer base??? Pretty sure that any (ANY) responsible business would have already factored in local employment cost contributions on it's products before even entering it's start-up phase - I know I did."

[Hammer and Pickle]

"Thought your concern was the numbers of foreigners entering the UK. Why do you want to talk about where I live, you great, heaving social disaster?"

[Eerie Descent]

"Great response, Fritzl. Remind everyone of where you live?"

[Hammer and Pickle]

"Run a business do you, Edward? Guess you have found a way of charging your punters so you can pay English staff to do the work at rates they expect. What’s you business model then?"

[Hammer and Pickle]

"Shut it Edward you soppy prick - we all know your kind. Think if you get all gobby you’ll get someone to pay you for doing a shit job just because you identify as a white, working class bloke. You thick twats still haven’t worked out it doesn’t work like that. Amazing."
