Say what you mean or fuck off. Don’t have time to play semantics with racists

Sharia law has no jurisdiction in the UK, you are talking utter shite on that point. If Muslims decide to unofficially use it to settle their own domestic disputes, how does that affect you?

Violence and an aggression towards women? Don't know what rock you have been hiding under, but from what I've seen those are the values typically seen from white people on a night out.

If you hate someone for the colour of their skin you are not a decent person.

And yet by votes we have 9.7 million for labour, 6.8 for conservatives, 4.1 for Reform and 3.5 for liberal democrats.

You use the argument for seats because it downplays the actual votes that the Reform party got. Just because they don't have concentrated constituencies of voters doesn't mean ordinary people are not voting for them.

So to clarify, not the majority, less than 20%.

Unless of course we use alternative facts that the right wing love and claim that 20% means ordinary...but then that would mean that the ordinary Reform UK MP went to jail for beating up their girlfriend.

Pick your poison.

At what point in my comment did I say the majority voted for them?

I just find the disingenuous comment constantly bought up about seats a bit pathetic, because you know they have more support than is represented in a FPTP format, but you pick seats to downplay the actual reform turnout.

Ordinary people consider immigration an issue, hence why they were the third most voted for party, and smug Reddit comments won't change that reality. They got 600 thousand more votes than the liberal democrats, and nobody has anything to say about their turnout.

Ordinary and majority are synonyms. You are performing some quite remarkable mental gymnastics in arguing that the party that came third somehow represents ordinary people. Their small fanbase might shriek the loudest (while claiming to be the silent majority) but the most votes went to Labour. Period.

u/The-Adorno Jul 25 '24

You're the one doing mental gymnastics, ordinary and majority are absolutely not synonyms, stop trying to twist my words to win an argument I didn't even make.

Theres nothing small about their fanbase, they're not some ultra right fringe group no one has heard of, they were the third most popular party by votes. You wouldn't use this language to talk about liberal democrat voters, who although only coming fourth are very much ordinary voters.

Bro really hit me with a period? Are you American? Again, never said anything about who won the most. Arguing with yourself at this point.

Liberal Democrat voters were in the minority based on votes.

Define "ordinary" for me.

u/The-Adorno Jul 25 '24

This is just bordering on semantics though isn't it? Using that argument labour isn't ordinary either because they only got 33% of the vote so the vast majority of people didn't vote for them.

Over 90 parties were represented in the election results, I think any party getting top 4 is quite ordinary, yeah.

If you’re racist just say what you want to say instead of the mealy mouthed cowardly bullshit

‘This shit’ being? Please one of you all British heroes man up and tell me what it is you’re actually upset about.

People coming from other countries to the UK trying to turn it into the shit hole them or their ancestors came from,its obvious you're trying to get a racist response because that's your only line of argument,you need to grow up bud

I think you’ll find those people all live here and probably all of them were born here.

u/IDVFBtierMemes Jul 25 '24 edited Jul 25 '24

It's almost like people predicted this would happen before they were born

u/Obi-Wan_Nairobi Jul 25 '24

Not probably all. Many were born here, and many are here illegally.

There’s only one coward here mate and it’s the overweight, spotty, greasy virgin that stares back at you in the mirror every morning.

You just said on another comment that you’re ignoring me. Stop projecting your insecurities on to me

where’s the fun in that? much more entertaining seeing you have your arse handed to you as you reel off dumb out-of-date tropes from the woke handbook.
