Auschwitz memorial day today. Very poignant. Unless he who denies climate-change also denies the holocaust?
What a shame that your chance at poignancy, was tainted by another attempt to provoke Manny.

Sorry mate, it wasn't aimed at anyone in particular - just those denying the bleeding obvious.

We hear a lot about ‘the far right’ in Britain these days. Are you worried that your thinking might be deemed politically incorrect? Do you fear that you are, or are at risk of becoming, ‘far right’?
Take Manny’s easy 10 point test now and find out if your fears are justified, simply answering ‘yes’ or ‘no’ to the following questions;
* do you support Brexit? * do you take pride in displays of the Union Jack? * is multiculturalism a failed experiment that the British people never asked for? * should the needs and rights of British people take precedence over migrants? * does the state of Israel have the right to exist and defend itself? * do you agree that freedom of expression is an inalienable right in the UK? * is a man necessarily an adult human male, and a woman an adult human female? * is ‘the climate crisis’ greatly exaggerated in your view? * do you consider woke ideology and practices to be deranged? * should Reform UK form the next government?
So how did you do? If you answered ‘yes’; 0 to 1 times. Congratulations! You are a bona fide member of the loony left; subscribe to ‘The Morning Star’ and an Owen Jones’ podcast today. 2-5 times. No need for immediate concern, but practice watchful waiting. 6-8 times. Your situation is becoming fraught. Seek urgent advice from the police about ‘checking your thinking’, and obtain counselling as soon as possible. 9-10 times. You are dyed in the wool ‘far right’. Avoid dinner parties and wine samplings in Islington and Hampstead at all costs, and don’t carry a copy of ‘The Daily Mail’ in public.

Nope, it’s all in that chip on your shoulder. 😉

We could add a number 15? Absolute blinkered denial that all of the above.

Absolute blinkered denial that all of the above.
Any view that attempts to encapsulate a person within one group, or ilk, is lazy at best, or unjust at it worst. This thread typifies the urge to use wholesale labels and character types rather than exploring, encouraging different views. How anyone, and I mean anyone, can categorise someone else as falling within a specific group, without having ever met them, is beyond me, and shows a genuine lack of articulation and accommodation of others views, needs and level of functioning. It is fine to engage on a superficial level, where familiarity and agreed parameters have been established over a period of time. But it is another thing to cite a group of traits as some kind of ad hoc diagnostic tool for whole essence of an individual. I agree that we can only deal with what is in front of us. But we must do so with erudition and thought for our conclusions. Generally on social media. People are drawn to a false working hypothesis because they are either provoked, or starved of the necessary information to formulate an accurate depiction of their adversary. I doubt very much that we will ever arrive at a fair summary of anyone who enjoys the cloak of anonymity.

And yet... Personally I think (or is that hope?) it will all be eventually nipped in the bud and the World will come to it's senses.

The problem is, as I tried to explain. Is it "its senses", or your senses, that you want it to come to. We are all tolerant or intolerant of certain things. It doesn't necessarily make us a risk, or indeed an enemy to each other.

Polarisation, is the biggest issue.
There doesn't seem to be much middle ground in anything these days.

Or anybody who doesnt agree with the current government policies is automatically labled "far right". And I see that the Nazi word has popped up yet again. I dont recall seeing anybody goose-stepping though.

First point or Far Left. Second Point.The word that should crop up is Fascism. I would argue that Russia has it and America more or less has it!

And you think the UK doesn't? Locking up people for hurty words on the internet is typical of a fascist state.

Rough calculations show that Manny has posted558 times on "General Chat" and just 9 times on "Cobblers Corner"
(probably) FACT
might I suggest a different forum would see him make more friends, than on this one?
