Globalisation and the very rich mean that any governments we have now pander to share holders, big business and themselves rather than the average person who lives on the street. They don’t care and therefore serious issues such as healthcare, transport, pollution and immigration never get tackled properly as they don’t matter to those making seriously big money.
This Bernie Sanders, who speaks a load of truths.I would say Governments choose to pander to the above.
I am reading Bernie Sanders book “It’s OK to be angry about capitalism” at the minute. He believes there is another way, He also illustrates how powerful vested interests are in trying to stop any change to the status quo.
That's Yorkshire for youI've just driven into town on basically third world roads. A simple demonstration of how the country has gone to ruin. Massive potholes everywhere
Is there a way that you could rephrase the OP in order to retain your meaning without fear of censorship?Removed by the originator as the abridged version, due to moderation, did not portray the original meaning of the post.
My suspicion on reading that article is that the timing has been deliberate - following the Rochdale debacle - in order to garner support for the anti-Israel tendency. Just a suspicion, mind.If Labour councillors resign from the party on an issue regarding the party’s foreign policy, that suggests they have lost touch with the number of issues that need to be sorted out closer to home. And that should be their priority.
Overall though does anyone outside the local area give a shit what happens on Pendle Council? It’s simply being highlighted in the national media to encourage those who are desperate to vote Tory and just want a reason to pin their decision on.
Meanwhile as Lytham FY8 says, we have had 14 years of Tory “rule” which have left this country in a compete mess.
Good to know the Derbyshire roads are fully maintained and pothole free.That's Yorkshire for you
Worse than yours Wiz, so deep that Dawn French would get lost in themGood to know the Derbyshire roads are fully maintained and pothole free.
It appears 1966, that you can call the Pope whatever you like, you can curse the King and his family, you can curse the Archbishop of Canterbury, say what you like about white Politicians and so on. BUT do not say anything and I mean anything, whether it be the truth or not, about the M*****s as that will be classed as anti. I*****c and you will immediately run the risk of being classed as racist. How? I don't know because they are not a race, it is a religion with various sects who also fall out with each other. So in answer to your question, no I can't rephrase the original post.Is there a way that you could rephrase the OP in order to retain your meaning without fear of censorship?

well said 2020. Just have a look at a couple of other threads to see how much others on here love nothing more than slagging of our country Shame on them..I can't say I read your original post and putting it back up will only cause problems but it's not hard to see where you are coming from.
There are posters slating Britain at every opportunity all over this forum, we are not perfect and some criticism is justified or it can be argued that it's justified but any mention of the traits of other groups such as forced marriages, homophobia, genetic disorders caused by incest, etc, etc and they are instantly removed.
I've said it before, I'll say it again and I'll keep saying it, as good a forum as this is - warts and all it's great - it is let down by the moderation which is line with the personal opinion of one man and not specific rules.
Good night and God Bless everybody.
Did you really just say that?well said 2020. Just have a look at a couple of other threads to see how much others on here love nothing more than slagging of our country Shame on them..
no i didn't "just" say it. I said it about 10 hours prior to your comment. Do you want to carry on going round in circles?Did you really just say that?
On another thread you’re arguing that the U.K. should continue arming a country that has just “murdered” (your word) three British civilians/veterans but it’s you who is the true patriot. Not the people who want to stop supplying arms to that country?
That is really weird reasoning even by your standards.
Well I was in bed when you said it and responded once I’d seen it.no i didn't "just" say it. I said it about 10 hours prior to your comment. Do you want to carry on going round in circles?
You said "did you really "just" say that". It has nothing to do with time limits. As i pointed out to you I'd said it about 10 hours earlier so not a case of just or time limit.Well I was in bed when you said it and responded once I’d seen it.
I also didn’t realise the board rules provided there was a time limit within which a poster had to reply to an earlier post. When did that come in?
IMO your post makes as much sense as your “I’m happy to continue supplying arms to a country that “murders” British citizens, but I’m still a bigger patriot than you” argument.
It’s probably GB News which causes such addled thinking.
I disagree with you profoundly. However, I want posters views to be read, hence my response to @Curryman.I can't say I read your original post and putting it back up will only cause problems but it's not hard to see where you are coming from.

Well you should be using public transport, or a bike. You're part of the problem.I've just driven into town on basically third world roads. A simple demonstration of how the country has gone to ruin. Massive potholes everywhere
