    Rich Kid? Back up a point? When? Just one example would do nicely.

    I for one would quite like some right wing posters, though the only ones we've had over the last while have been racists or trolls or both.

    Surely that tells you something Bongbudda? :D:D:D

    Charles Kennedy would pass for right-wing on here.

    Maybe that a large chunk of right-wing leaning people are anti immigration and potentially racist?

    Like others before you, you seem convinced that we are all extreme Maxists, I dont think there is more than about two Socialists and most are relatively Centralist to my understanding.

    Er, depends what you mean by Right-wing. I'm right-wing and I'm pretty sure I'm neither a racist or a troll.

    I am actually surprised they managed to bite their tongue and not go for the full "ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT NON-WHITE SPONGERS BOMBED OUR CITY" headline.

    :rolleyes:

    Oh right your talking about the 'terrorists'... i thought the major headline for the sun was Sienna's love life...they certainly seem to think thats the more important story.

    Glad to see the media has its priorities right

    (To be honest I'm not even suprised at the whole benefits theme to this - sadly I think I'd have been more suprised if they hadn't mentioned something like this)

    of course. :confused:

    There are a few on here who show right-wing tendancies I suppose, Kermit when it comes to crime, considering how racist most gypsies are I suppose you could even say Aladdin is right-wing in his support of them.

    But its very very rare you get anything like this on here.

    Well there you go then. I didnt mean to imply you were either, I just didnt know.

    And nor would anyone (at least certainly not me) think of you as one.

    Tommo was just trying to present himself as the latest victim of some kind of leftist gang who apparently persecute those who are right of centre. Needless to say that isn't the case. Tommo wasn't right wing. He was far right, and the only examples he could provide of similar 'victims' were fellow racists or full time trolls.

    Good riddance all the same.

    Oh dear... :rolleyes:

    The only surprise is that it took them 24 hours longer to jump on the bandwagon.

    What a brilliant press we have.

    The scary thing is that people continue to buy and read that utter shite.

    When I looked at the newspapers on Tuesday morning, I noticed just how similar these two were. Have the two got the same editor now or something? :confused: I agree with Aladdin that both these papers are shite, but also think it's a quick headline that'll sell papers, so I'm not surprised they went for it.
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    The Sun is an awesome paper, always fair, straight to the point and never bias. :wave:

    although i read the mail at weekends, i have to wonder why they bothered to point out the benefits angle, the thing that everyone was suprised about originally was how nice and normal the bombers were. one of them was a teaching assistant, so presumably he was busy indoctrinating the kids between country dancing and assembly!
  • Teh_GerbilTeh_Gerbil Posts: 13,332 Born on Earth, Raised by The Mix
    The Mail even mangage to fuck up facts.
    It Labbeled a Tornado as a Jaguar, and claim the police in London where carrying Machine Guns instead of Sub Machine guns. Ugh, there is a rahter substantial difference.

    Anyway, both shit papers. I mean... no, it just isn't worth the effort. Everyone here knows why they are crap anyway.

    how nice and normal the bombers were
    (emphasis mine of course)

    How easily unproven allegations are ingrained into the public mind just through repetitive printing of the same photos with the same "Bombers" label blazoned thereabove.

    Has any concrete proof been shown to conclusively indict these equally likely victims of those events? Nowhere that I've seen to date.

    They were normal everyday people known to friends and neighbours as anything but radical. Until there is a transparent investigatory process worthy of public trust which identifies the definite perpetrators, my vote sides with the greater likelihood of those benefitting most being most suspect (in keeping with fundamental investigative principles).

    Let the mainstream press repeat the same sensationalist claims day after day, it doesn't make it so.

    It must be quite a depressing world you live in Clandestine, we have governments and security services so powerful and evil that they bomb and kill their own people on a regular basis.

    There are surely easier ways for the government to get extra powers than this.

    And I ask again, what are you going to do about it?
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    Actually bb, the world in which we all live IS rather depressing once you open your eyes and see how willfully the majority are accepting sanitised and decontextualised spin as a comprehensive view of reality, particularly political reality. All the more so for those who have lived long enough to see the patterns of deceipt and the lies and coverups used by our leaders to avoid accountability.

    As for what I am doing, I am doing as much as any lone citizen can do with his/her awareness, speaking out here and elsewhere and hoping more people start to look deeper into what they are being fed by mainstream media and self-serving public officials.

    What are you doing other than relying on official proclamations and focussing on your own needs? God forbid you risk so much as possible public derision and censure for your views.

    You do add interesting comments to this section, but your attitude isnt half condescending sometimes, you dont have to always look down your nose on us 'sheeple' as you term us.

    In terms of the terrorist threat and all that, I do what I can to read up, and I pester and campaign my MP not to vote for certain laws and I try and poke those I come into contact with to think about issues carefully. Other than quitting my job and taking up campaigning full time while being on Social I cant do a great deal more.

    I think it's fantastic. Even on the narrow lines that you state, it means that there aren't really that many bad people, just lots of (often willfully) ignorant ones.

    Oh, and you are not a citizen, just so you know.

    bb, I return condescension for the routine derision I receive. The one warrants the other imho.

    Your choice, but to be frank I dont always read your comments because it always sounds to me like you are using long and polite words to say I'm thick.
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    Your prerogative entirely bb. I won't lose any sleep over what others choose to take to heart or ignore.
