Questions to the lefty types

I did call him a dick which he is but i answered by saying the right as no monopoly on democracy. i have seen things from the likes of norman tebbit that would raise the eyebrows of any democrate i talk about his law to make unions vote for a political fund which was designed to cripple the labour party


Always been in favour of unions discontinuing Labour campaign donations, myself. It's not as if the Labour party actually represents workers, and possibly never really did.
 
Wonder what wingnut site that question list came from?

On the other hand:

1) Do you belive that it's OK for poor people to starve to death?
2) Do you think that it's OK to stone adulteresses and gays to death?
3) Do you think it's OK to start wars in contravention of international law?
4) Do you think that it's OK to deny abortions to women who were raped?
5) Do you believe that superstition is more authoritative than science?
6) Do you believe that profits are more important than human life?

etc.

Yes i agree with you now ,but then labour was more union friendly .and tebbit was trying to weaken opposition in an undemocratic way

If there is a left wing “day of action” for whatever cause do I have the right to talk to a friend about if even if he happens to be a copper in that area?
derf said:
I see that your little show is today so enjoy the day and rest assured that South Yorkshire police are aware that you are out having fun.
A mate is a DI over there so I took the trouble to say hello to him yesterday.
Making vague and inneffective legal threats for no good reason is something dickheads do. Just so you know, like :)
 
1) Do you dislike having someone disagree with you?
Only if they're an asshat about it, like you.

2) Do you think that I or anyone else has the right to do so?
Of course you do. But when you post them on a public bulletin board, you open yourself up to criticism. It's not a difficult concept to grasp, if you make the effort.

3) Are you able to construct arguments as to why you think you are right without resorting to schoolboy tactics of name calling and/or threats?
Yes, though this list is a classic example of poor reasoning and an attempt to construct an argument based on poorly phrased leading questions divorced from the context that they were drawn from.

4) If there is a left wing “day of action” for whatever cause do I have the right to talk to a friend about if even if he happens to be a copper in that area?
Yawn.

5) Can you give me any example of an extreme left wing government that hasn’t fucked up the country they managed to get into power in?
No. Governments, left wing or otherwise, tend to do that when they're trying to establish themselves.

6) If I point out that Scargill has made comments supporting Stalin (With links) is this acceptable?
Why the fuck would I care? Fuck Scargill.

7) Would you go to a day of action on the word of one poster with no back up to his allegations? (If so, why?)
So the entire IWW and their supporters, with statements from the people involved in the dispute are one poster with nothing to back what they're saying up? Come off it, you're the one who with absolutely zero knowledge of the situation, came on here trying to smear Chris Lockwood because, as I've already explained, you're an asshat.

8) Should all left wing politicians do their political work for minimum / average UK wage (or free of charge)?
Couldn't really give a toss what left wing polliticians do with their money.

9) Is there any way that an elected government may be removed from power except by another election?
Well yes, obviously. History is replete with examples of elected governments being removed from power by other means.

9a) Would military or industrial action against your own government be OK by you if they didn‘t share your political opinions?
If who didn't share my political opinions, the government or the people taking the action in question?

10) If a worker crosses a picket line to go to work while his union is on strike what do you think should happen to him?
Depends on the context. He certainly shouldn't be afforded any of the protections or benefits that may have been previously provided to him by his union.

11) If a left wing politician has made large chunks of money from his position is that acceptable?
Who gives a fuck?

12) Should all people be paid the same for their work regardless of what they do?
Sure, why not? By working, you contribute to society and therefore are, on some level, necessary to it's continued functioning. Bin men are just as essential to society as doctors, for instance.

12) Is the use of violence acceptable in an industrial dispute?
Violence by who, against who and for what reason?

13) Is it OK for empoyees to demand more for money for their work if they get paid more than people in lesser jobs?
Why wouldn't it be?

14) Is it acceptable for a British politician to work for a foreign propaganda broadcasting network?
Who gives a shit?

15) Is it acceptable for someone to hold and forward extreme right wing opinions (BNP etc)? - If not what do you think should happen to them?
I think they should be challenged verbally when they express those opinions, and opposed by whatever means necessary when they try to put them into action.

Now, is there any point to this? Besides proving that there really is such a thing as a stupid question?
 
Questions for derf

1) Do you dislike having someone disagree with you?
2) Do you think that I or anyone else has the right to do so?
3) Are you able to construct arguments as to why you think you are right without resorting to schoolboy tactics of name calling and/or threats?
4) If a right wing “day of action” was announced why would this fill many people with fears for their safety?
5) Can you give me any example of an extreme right wing government that hasn’t fucked up the country they managed to get into power in?
6) If I point out that Thatcher openly supported Pinochet (With links) is this acceptable?
7) Would you go to a day of action on the word of one poster with no back up to his allegations? (If so, why?)
8) Should all right wing politicians do their political work for minimum / average UK wage (or free of charge)?
9) Is there any way that an elected government may be removed from power except by another election?
(Excepting illegal actions on the part of that government proven in a court of law or US invasion lol)
9a) Would military action against your own (or foriegn left wing or 'anti capitalist' governments percieved as a threat) be OK by you if they didn‘t share your political opinions?
10) If a worker attends a picket line while his union is on strike what do you think should happen to him?

12) Is the use of violence acceptable in an industrial dispute?
13) Is it OK for bosses to demand more for money for their work if their incompetence is damaging wages of 'lesser' workers?
14) Is it acceptable for a British politician to work for a foreign propaganda broadcasting network?
15) Is it acceptable for someone to hold and forward extreme left wing opinions (Nationalised Healthcare, free schools etc)? - If not what do you think should happen to them?

Nice turn around. :)

1 - no problem as I'm usually right. :p
2 - You have.
3 - yes. I don't need to start name calling to try to argue a point in favour of the free market.
4 - Depends on how far right. If it comes to racism it's both stupid and bad for business.
5 - no. All extreme right wing government fuck up their country but I've never argued for that as some on here argue for the extreme left. All I want is free capitalism. That always works.
6 - Yes the lady did so as he was useful at the time. If you can't stop them at least use them
7 - no way
8 - No. As capitalists we don't say anyone else should so why should we. We also promote wealth as a good thing so no problem. We don't make loads of money and tell the tories they are rich bastards like some lefty MPs
9 - No. Iraq was a major fuck up. I'm happy to say it was a labour government that took the UK into such a stupid war.
9a - No. Not reasonable and bad for business in the long term.
10 - Up to him as long as he doesn't expect to use the office tea machine or get paid for his time.
11 - Quite OK as I said capitalists don't spout on about equality.
12 - No from either side
13 - If the bloke owns the company it's up to him what he does. If the company fails he looses out as well. If it's management then they deserve to be sacked if they are a problem to making greater profit. The workers are second to this.
14 - Not at all. I have seen one lefty twat on Iranian TV doing his thing. I suppose he moved there when his ex lord and master Sadders got to feel the end of a rope.
15 - I happen to think that free health care, education and so on are a good idea. As long as they are well run I believe that free education using the Grammar school system is good for the children and thus for business and the country as a whole.
Same for health care. Apart from my moral leaning to it I believe that a healthy workforce is good for business.
As for silly commie ideals about a managed economy and equality for all. These things are total bollocks. People are allowed to hold such opinions but I would hate to see any more countries have to put up with them in power.
 
Morning Derf, sorry didnt get a chance to ask before- how's your maid doing at school? Does her school close down for Ramadan?

Nice of you to ask. She now goes to school 2 days a week and her free English lessons from her caring employer are going well.
The schools here are running up to hari raya (Great day) when there will be a holiday.
She off to visit her sister for a week so we'll just have to manage without a servant for a while. :)
 
Here have another one about his fight for equality and how low his earning are.

This isn't much of a fun quiz. Comes across as bitter and aggressive to be honest. I'd rather see what Fun Fearless Fiction Read Is Right For Me.

http://www.cosmopolitan.com/archive/you/quiz/

bitter and aggressive, me, never. I'm a softy really. :)
Just interested to see who can answer questions that expose cracks in left wing ideas and special attention to the lefty types who preach equality but make a mint themselves.
 
i'll read your answers when i'm sober

i'm surprised you bothered to answer them, you know they are silly questions lol

questions 3,4,5 and 15 are the ones that interest me

you do know the history of the NHS and how hard the left fought for it and how hard the right fought against it?

What, you mean draw out the idea that there are some left-wing politicians who make lots of money? Aside from the fact that the UK doesn't have that many left-wing politicians, who would ever deny that politicians of any stripe can be bastards? Turns out, from the answers to your ridiculous questions, that nobody does deny that at all.

I can picture you typing all this out, crowing about how clever you're being and how you're going to get one up on those Urbanite socialists. The only way you've succeeded at all is that some polite people have actually answered your manipulative questions.
 
Not if the disagreement is well-informed and informative.

I am, are you?

What do you mean by "extreme left"? Many of your posts appear to project that you believe new labour to be dangerously socialistic, so our perceptions of what is "extreme left" may differ somewhat.

That'd depend on both the context of Scargill's original comments, and the context in which you decided to place the comments.

That'd depend on the poster, the allegations and whether I was physically well enough to do so.

Most left-wing politicians do do their political work for minimal remuneration. I suspect you're falling into the "new labour is socialist" error again.

Mass murder (or "a homage to Guido Fawkes", as I like to think of it).

Depends on the logical basis for doing so.

Officially? Removal of his union membership and blacklisting by all other unions.

If he's made "large chunks of money from his position" he's liable to be breaking the law. If he/she has made large chunks of money outwith their political responsibilities that a matter for their conscience and for revolutionary justice. :)

This question makes no sense because you've (unsurprisingly) given it no context.

By whom?

In a perfect world reward would be commensurate with both degree of effort and degree of skill, so while you'd have pay differentials, they'd be minimal and incremental.

I think you'll find that all broadcast networks are, by their very nature, propagandistic.

I'm fine with people holding those opinions
, I'm even against the idea of "no platform for the BNP". It generally makes it easier to expose those opinions as the pernicious trash they are if they're out in the open, you see.

Good morning Mr VP. You are one of the few poster on here I have respect for as you alway try to put forward a reasonable argument to support your opinions and ask intelligent questions.

Yes.
New labout are more tory than I am most of the time.
My interest is those who would have us believe that communist leaning are in some way a good idea. I little light socialism isn't good but it's not as bad as that managed market and equality crap that many seem to believe.

The left wingers tend to make a good few bob if the register of members interests is correct.

Unofficially ?

Anyone.

I can't agree with that. People should be paid according to skill and effort.
No one would work for years to become a top doctor with all the stress and responsibility that entails if he could make the same driving a taxi or sweeping the roads

Many are. But as Orwell may have put it. Some are more propagandist than others. Iranian press TV is a bit more than many but not as bad a VOA.
Still press does have some very interesting non political stuff about Iranian culture and life.
It would be good for the likes of Bush to watch a little of it so that he can see that people are just people and not faceless targets for his war on terror.

I am also happy for people to hold political opinions of any sort and agree that no one should be banned from putting their views forward even if the are a vile as the BNP or as stupid as the communists.

What sort of chap would I be if I refused to answer my own questions?
I am aware of the rough history of the NSH and the error that was made in fighting it's formation.
As I said I believe that with a little sorting out and getting rid of the waste it's good for business as well as fitting with my moral views.
 
given that your instinct is evidently to support multinational cinema companies over workers trying to assert their rights, I would suggest morality has very little to do with any of your views.

The irony is, that the cinema company in question is the 'filmshorts' type - all 'on it' ... but a facade of 'on it' by paying min wage and sacking for challenging. It's the fair trade version of cinemas.

Not the same thing at all.
One is helping those who can't afford treatment to get it and the other is a gobby trouble maker who sounds like he deserved the boot.

So why the day of action. If he was sacked without good reason there are other reasonable ways of going about it legally and without asking for a gang of loonies who have nothing to do with it to turn up.

I suspect that he knows he was out of order and deserved to be kicked out.
 
HE will provide a nice linky
OK, so, you imagine all lefties support Galloway's every move?

For clarity, I think he's a twat, always have done since he was my MP, and, frankly, he's deserving of being up against the wall come the revolution, the smug, yuppie, self-serving, ego-stroking twat.

what a pitiful forelock-tugging little creep you are, living in a world where people on minimum wage standing up for themselves are 'gobby troublemakers' and large companies get 'ganged up on' by a few dozen people.

it was 'gobby troublemakers' who won virtually every freedom and every right that we have in this country, and it'll be 'gobby troublemakers' who'll defend them, while pathetic specimens like you continue to cringe before any available authority.

well maybe he's not in a position to wait until the outcome of an industrial tribunal? perhaps he thinks there's a principle involved in the right to organise/join a trade union and freedom of association that isn't fulfilled by going to court and getting recompense for unfair dismissal (after all, the company has still got rid of a 'gobby troublemaker', even if they had to pay to do it)

LOL!!!! This is a wind up - right?

He'll also probably blame those same 'gobby troublemakers' for not fighting hard enough to protect his own rights, if and when they are infringed or restricted.

Oh, the irony.
 
a gobby trouble maker who sounds like he deserved the boot.
Or, a low-paid worker fighting for fundamental rights. You don't see it that way, and don't want to support him. That's your call. I think you're about as wrong as you can be. And, frankly, your choice in this matter sides you with the enemy. Your choice, but don't expect our hearts to bleed for you.

Because the Company refused to hear his appeal, seemingly in breach of the statutory dispute resolution legislation.

I suspect the cinema is being run by people like you.
