Obelix Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 If you push people into a corner, what are their options? I managed to get out of it without resorting to violence thanks. It's called hard work.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadManMoon Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2306165/Margaret-Thatcher-death-parties-The-Lefts-sick-celebration-Brixtons-streets.html We constantly hear about the complaints against bedroom tax, millionaire's tax cut, benefits etc etc. But why is it acceptable for the left, those who are calling for changes, to be violent, rude and down right disrespectful? Hasn't this always been the case, going back to the miner's strikes? We will get what we want, or we will fight and be violent until you give it to us? What do you mean by people on the left?

Mister M Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 The Right are just as fond of invective as the left. In the wake of Michael Foot's death there were some right wingers who wrote some unpleasant things about him. And he wasn't even PM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
go4it Posted April 11, 2013 Author Share Posted April 11, 2013 I managed to get out of it without resorting to violence thanks. It's called hard work.... Quote of the thread. Is it any wonder there are divisions in society. But actually Maggie was right - there is no society. You have to take responsibility for yourself, then we have society. People don't take responsibility, so we have no society. There are many people who want to help others, but they quickly understand that these people don't want to be helped and would rather sit being bitter.

Yahweh Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 I wouldnt expect owt else from them. I wouldnt worry about owt they spout, no one listens to their outdated communist garbage anyway. Only gullible middle-class lefty students. In the wake of rape allegation scandal, the SWP’s Marxism 2013 event is looking like a flop with only a handful of guest speakers booked. http://hurryupharry.org/2013/04/09/move-along-nothing-to-see-here/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RootsBooster Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 I'm sorry I thought this was a place for an intelligent discussion. Clear that I am not going to find it here. Seems to many of you that the violence last night is acceptable. Can you show a post which condones violence from "the left" ? With regards to your original post, what makes you think that people think it's acceptable for the left to resort to violence? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alchemist Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 I didn't hear any rumours. I was quoting from Wikipedia (and the Daily Mail) Daily Mail?? then it WAS rumours ---------- Post added 11-04-2013 at 13:25 ---------- What about the extremists of the Tory supporting Countryside Alliance? Ahh, now THATS OK, they were toffs ---------- Post added 11-04-2013 at 13:27 ---------- Actually the rejoice comment was after combined British naval and special forces liberated South Georgia with no British casualties and only one dead Argentinian. But hey, let's not let facts get in the way of a rant? As a matter of interest, did they all get off the Belgrano alive then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, you have to take responsibility for others, especially the vulnerable, then we have a society. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishy_taste Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Yawn. A few people in one place do something and everyone with left-wing political leanings gets tarred and feathered... There were street parties 'celebrating' Thatchers passing in Brixton, Liverpool, Glasgow... Hardly a few people. Not to mention the politicians condemning her on the day her death was announced. And the disrepects shown, by those who should know better and should be setting a better example, by bycotting the House of Commons (notice the empty Labour benches). I have to say, I am deeply disgusted by the attitude of those, especially politicians. I have little time for Labour (the old, socialist Labour) and I have even less time now, given the petulant, immature, classless actions of those Labour MP's since her death was announced. I do not rate Ed Milliband, but his speech the other, the way he conducted himself, raised his profile in my mind. He showed how to be respectful without being fawning or a sycophant. Shame his party, as a whole, seem to be fully of boys and girls still unable to shake off the playground mentality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny5 Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Those people have far more in common with the dullards from the EDL that they realise. I've know a few SWP members and they are just as insular and dim witted but just went to better schools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
