A perfect example. You look something up on the internet, think it makes you an expert and then use it to dismiss me rather than any points or arguments I may have made, even though it is irrelevant. You do not where have I lived or that much about me but again instead of dealing with the thread you use it to get personal and paint me as some kind of unreliable witness or madman and claim the moral high ground with your ' I have had it rougher than anyone could imagine' bollocks.

I don't know if it is a northern thing but to be honest a lot of the country are sick of it. This poor me bollocks. Large parts of London and the center, Wales , and the South West have just as much poverty but don't bang on about it like they are fucking Oliver Twist ffs. The investment in your region is huge compared to down here. We literally get cut off once a year from the rest of the country when the rain washes the traintrack away and there you lot are with the BBC and lodas of big corporations relocating up North and still you bleat on like you imagine anywhere south of London is some kind of paradise. Cluless.


Brexit. The EU Elections. Not Gandalf knows more about the UK and being working class than anyone else.

Your entire experience of muslims seems to be one kid in your secondary school and your experience with refugees seems to be what the internet has told you.

I am not asking you to agree with me but I do not need to pretend to be an expert on South Korea or teaching English to debate you and neither do I need to make stuff up about your life to make you seem to be lacking in credibility. That is the exact kind of thing the tabloid and mainstream media you are supposed to be against do. Dirty low tactics and fake news. When i remark on how it seems to be all about the money for you it is because you confirm yourself how you don't really want anything to do with the left all the time.

Corbyn offers you change but you don't want the commitment so you paint his party as triators. They have promised to implement Brexit but you don't care because you just want to go on a self righteous rant. You are backing the very people who used fake news and the media for years to get us to where we are. We will end up with another unelected Prime Minster even more heartless and ruthless than this one and rather than point out how much damage the tories have done, you blame immigrants and the EU. Their are corrupt bastards behind this that knew the tories would buy their idea of blaming an EU about to punish tax cheats and point out human rights abuses in the UK, and then call a referendum to implement their plan under the guise of 'The Will of the people' , and not only did you buy into it hook , line and sinker. you helped the tories and their self serving anti poor people policies, infact with you history of being a good little servant of the corporate fake alt news ,you have helped smooth the path for them.

You will not acknowledge a balanced view on anything.

You didn't have a car and had to take the bus? boo hoo. Who the fucking hell do you think you are 'The Queen'?
