Paying to have an argument

[RobinBHM]

seemingly pointlessly for you guys

I think I'm on the cusp of Jacob seeing my point of view

there isnt any

but I can guarantee any socialist twitter echo chamber will be full of angry socialists.
common signs: Palestinian flag in bio, frequent use of the name "Keith"

Can you show us a link?

You'll have to clarify if you mean the people who think that services should be publicly owned or you mean the people that think the should be privately owned but given public money. Both are socialism, but they're opposing sides.

There's a big majority of in betweenies. Depends what you mean by socialism - different things to different people, not just either/or.

If there is no evidence how can you guarantee anything? Saying stuff doesn't make it true.

I could say everyone on twitter is a direct descendent of the communist love-child of Walter Raleigh and Boedica's great great great etc. grand daughter, utter nonsense but I said it so I expect you to believe it.

Pointless to continue.

I think @RobinBHM is probably alluding to the very large number of ex Labour party members and supporters who are not happy with the party having been taken over by a hard-right faction, currently expunging all traces of socialism and democracy. Just a guess!

Guess where this thread is going if the discussion continues on the current path.

Well it can't go over to the other side as it is closed to non paying members, which is why it is here instead (see thread title). Maybe have another look at the rules?

This thread can most certainly go to the OT-2 forum and most, if not all of the current participants besides you will have to imagine what you are discussing with yourself. The other option, since abiding by the rules does not appear to be possible for some, is to close the thread and let if drift off into oblivion.

The current rules are fine. If you have difficulty with them, perhaps you should find another outlet for your political discussions.

They were OK, but they aren't now.

There are many political forums such as these below but only one decent woodworking forum and in woodworking we can achieve but in politics you end up at war so lets keep everything freindly and not go down the party political broadcast route.
