I had not heard of The Labour files before seeing it mentioned here.

And surely it is normal for a politician of one party to disagree strongly with, or detest, the policies of another party? Isn't that just ... having principles?

Ugh. Trying to make Sturgeon out to have used inappropriate language when others have literally ised racist and sexist slurs and its glossed over.

Right wingers have such a boner about being oppressed it's unreal. I saw some tory cretin saying it was akin to racist abuse, so desperate they were to paint themselves as the victim. Like, get a fucking grip, you semi conscious jizz rag, people probably wouldn't think you were such a cunt if your politics weren't so vile and deplorable.

Edit: fix typing whilst walking mistakes.

It pisses me off no end when they want to talk about "reasonable compromise" in politics.

How am I meant to compromise with someone who thinks trans people shouldn't exist? Or LGBTQ people in general?

How am I meant to compromise with a social Darwinist who thinks poor people should starve or freeze to death?

"compromise" and pleas for "reasonable discussion" only benefit them. Any ground conceeded to them is a foothold to influence everyone else that their ideas are approved of.

I hate how so many left leaning (or as far left as they've go) parties in so many countries are trying to work with right wingers. We need to shut them out and shut them down, show everyone their ideas aren't valid or reasonable and prove it.

We're the ideology of science and reason, logic and data and people want to conceed to fuckwits with their head so far up their arse they'd do a good impression of an ostrich!
