  1.  @emm_arr  I did. And it began with ''...this is not how it usually goes'' - Yes it is. The Scottish nationalists have always spent their time snarling at the tories. Its one of the ways they define themselves.

  3.  @Blazegraze12  You're crazy. I hardly think the UK wanting to govern itself is an 'over inflated sense of self entitlement'. Grow up.

  4.  @Blazegraze12  You really need to grow up.

  5.  @Blazegraze12  You should come up with something original and realistic. Then it might warrant a better answer.

  6. ''I was raised in no uncertain terms to hate tories' - Beautiful example there of the hatred the far left have for anyone who disagrees with them.

  7.  @BDaMonkey  Great logic! - The UK pays in more to the EU than it gets back.

  11. staffan144 The Russians have always been a very subservient people.

  12. In 2016, the JIT (Joint Investigation Team, made up of the Netherlands, Belgium, Ukraine, Australia, and Malaysia) confirmed that MH17 was shot down by a Russian 9M38 Buk missile. The Buk missile system had been transported from Russia into Ukraine on the day MH17 was shot down, and then back into Russia again after the crash. When the Netherlands, supported by the other members of the JIT proposed the UN set up an international tribunal to prosecute those responsible, Russia vetoed it. All that information is readily available. And supports both Ukraine and NATO's claims of Russian forces fighting in Ukraine.

  13. Plus, of course, Russia is presently occupying the south of Ukraine (Crimea). Or are you going to deny that too? Lol

  14. A sham vote held at gunpoint doesn't legitimise annexation.
    1
  15. Nope. Remember those 'little green men' that Putin denied were anything to do with him? They were Russians. Pretending not to be there. Just as they pretend not to be in eastern Ukraine today. They held a sham 'referendum' at gun point in an effort to legitimise Russia's annexation of Ukrainian territory.

  19. Yeah, because when have the KGB ever murdered Russians, right?

  20. And how would the Catalan government enforce its independence without a democratic mandate? You forget, those who want Catalan independence don't just want it for themselves but for everyone else in Catalonia. Presumably they would need to enforce their own rule somehow?

  21. Milosevic did more than just try to get rid of some 'troublemakers who refused to assimilate'. But I'm guessing Serb nationalism appeals to a certain kind of servile fascist. Nice try at equating the two. Only it doesn't work. Unless you attempt to rewrite recent history.

  22.  @speedyhillski  In the event of a no deal Brexit, expect the EU to miraculously change their tune on the Irish border issue - Both the Irish government and Germans have already discussed plans that will allow checks on goods without the need of a hard border.

  23.  @mariuszfurman6531  Nope. The GFA simply commits both sides to avoiding a hard border. Its not a treaty that binds the UK into the EU.

  29. Sha Dow And quite clearly the same can be said for Adolf Hitler. But the trouble with your theory, is that you can't actually quantify far right/far left ideology, and then claim one is more virtuous than the other. It is true that those on 'the left' tend to be more empathic. However, they also tend to be less conscientious than those on the right (the present Labour/Conservative economic policies are a very good example of this). And conscientiousness is important. Because without it, nothing gets done. Imagination is all very well. Until it leads to the complete re-ordering of society. And the inevitable authoritarianism that follows. I'm thinking Karl Marx. Empathy is no guarantee against some fool wanting to impose their revolutionary new world order. And as is clearly in evidence with Corbyn, intolerance is not and has never been just a right wing thing.

  31. Yes. This is made inevitable as soon as someone blames the jews for 'never ending war'/pulling the strings etc - Because that's pretty much exactly what the Nazis said!

  32. Are Virgin's employees also 'offended' by this? http://www.independent.co.uk/news/branson-accused-of-harassment-1306453.html Or don't they mind working for a billionaire misogynist who treats women as sex objects just so long as they were against Brexit?

  33. While it is true that those in the media are very much to the left, if Peterson's ideas are worthwhile then they can withstand dishonest rhetoric.

  34. Yeah, I'm sure you'd much rather stay in the EU with Le Pen and German's Pegida 'movement' XD

  35. Russia is very keen on encouraging nationalism and separatism in western countries. Putin funds a supposed 'Anti-Globalization Movement' that hosts separatist movements from the UK, France, Spain, Italy, and the US (Texas and California). Many of them are ultra-nationalist. But basically its just western separatists. Obviously no Eurasian or Asian separatists. Not the Karakalpaks, or Uzbeks, or Siberians, or Chechens, or Tatars, Uyghur or Tibetans. When he annexed Crimea, he bussed in a few of them to 'observe' his 'referendum'.

  37. Alan Ó Cléirigh Well, obviously we had the 9 million euro Russian state bank loan to Le Pen of the French National Front Party. She repays him by supporting his invasion of Ukraine, and trying to undermine western sanctions against Moscow for it's war there. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/france/11515835/Russia-bought-Marine-Le-Pens-support-over-Crimea.html The list of 'observers' of Putin's 'referendum' in Crimea included Béla Kovács from the Hungarian far-right Jobbik Party, noted for its anti-Semitic and homophobic views; far-right Spanish politician Enrique Ravello; three representatives of the Flemish far right party Vlaams Belang; as well as Belgian activist Luc Michel, who began in a neo-Nazi party and now espouses National Bolshevism. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/mar/16/ukraine-crisis-crimea-referendum https://iwpr.net/global-voices/far-right-recruited-crimea-poll-observers I'd hardly call Spain an imperialist country. As for the US, UK, and France, I guess it depends on whether you believe western democracy is worthwhile. Putin certainly doesn't (he is KGB after all). The kremlin plays host to Europe's far right and far left. It suits it's zero sum game. Anything that is bad for Europe and the west in general, is good for Russia. https://www.wilsoncenter.org/sites/default/files/pc_prezi_wilsoncentre.pdf http://www.spiegel.de/international/germany/german-populists-forge-deeper-ties-with-russia-a-1089562.html http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-32009360 https://imrussia.org/en/analysis/world/2500-putinism-and-the-european-far-right http://observer.com/2016/10/putins-support-for-europes-far-right-just-turned-lethal/

  38. We could pick Russia apart if we redrew its borders along ethnic lines. Crimea was annexed by Russia. And the Ukrainians there have been ethnically cleansed. It's situation isn't comparable to Catalonia.

  39. You can't have a situation where everyone has to vote in whatever 'referendum' some self-selecting group decides to hold or it instantly becomes law.

  40. Considering the type of sectarian filth Jeremy Corbyn supported the labour MP sounds vastly hypocritical

  41.  @eddevlin72  I think we only have to look across the channel at Le Pen in France and Pegida in Germany, not to mention Tusks own Poland to see that racism is far worse in mainland Europe than in the UK. For the past decade or so net immigration into the UK has been around 250,000 to 300,000 a year. Does that sound like a racist country that hates foreigners to you?

  42. ​ @randomdaveUK  As well as being incorrect (to vote in UK general elections you need to be a UK, Irish, or qualifying commonwealth citizen), thats as stupid a point as saying Macron wouldn't have been elected president of France if 1.379 billion Chinese had been allowed to vote.
    1
  43. Being against the high levels of immigration into the UK (300,000 a years) doesn't mean you hate immigrants or foreigners. Thats a simplistic explanation by people who either genuinely don't understand most peoples views on immigration, or who intentionally misunderstand them - mostly the latter.

  44.  @randomdaveUK  If parliament rejects May's negotiated deal. And it rejects 'no deal'. And the EU has refused further negotiations. Then that leaves only one option. To remain. But parliament has already voted to implement article 50. Every major party promised before the referendum, during it, and after it, to respect the result. They did the same just before the last general election (apart from the limp dems, who make a habit of breaking promises). So voting against a 'no deal' Brexit is effectively voting against something they have already voted in favour of. And it makes any negotiations impossible, because, as we are seeing, all Brussels has to do is to refuse to negotiate, and, following the logic of a vote against 'no deal', the UK is forced to remain. This is the very obvious flaw in telling the side you are negotiating with 'We're leaving the EU, and if you dont give us a good deal we wont leave'. Any halfwit could see the result of that negotiating tactic. Which leaves the question, is parliament really that stupid? Or are they purposely undermining their own negotiations?

  45.  @randomdaveUK  Pushing back the exit date just kicks the problem into the long grass. Thats bad for the economy. Business needs to know where it stands, and in order for the UK to be building a future outside the EU, potential trading partners need to know whether they should be talking to the UK, or to Brussels. Because so far no one knows. So no one can sign anything with anyone. An election won't change anything. If parliament refused to carry out the referendum result despite promising to do so before the 2017 general election, how will another election make any difference? Same with having another referendum. If they can ignore the result because they dont like it once, what makes you think they wouldn't do it a second time? Theresa May is a remainer. So she has negotiated a remainers deal. Half in/half out. But thats the worst of both worlds and not what the people voted for. The country was given 2 options. Stay or leave. It's time for everyone to accept the result and get on with making it happen.

  46. As for NHS cuts. The labour party left the country in massive debt. We can all argue who's fault that was, but that debt is a fact. It's also a fact that because of that, the UK presently wastes £39 billion a year paying off the interest on that debt. That equate to more than the combined housing and environment budget. About £6 billion less than the entire defence budget. Or around about one quarter the entire NHS budget. So when talking about tory cuts, it might be helpful to acknowledge reality, and the very real reason why they were put in place. Otherwise we're all just living in fantasy land.

  47.  @randomdaveUK  I would say May's deal is a bad deal. It commits the UK to pay vast sums of cash to the EU, without any recognition of the UK's share of those assets it will continue to fund (the EU's Galileo satellite navigation system, for example). This is essentially because May was hoping it would sweeten any future trade deals with the EU (!). But as the EU has refused to even begin negotiations on any trade deals, she has given away tens of billions for nothing. The Irish border backstop agreement is bad. It equates to the EU demanding it gets what it wants, otherwise it will tear up the good Friday agreement. Thats unforgivable. And all this before any trade agreement between the UK and the EU have even been discussed. And just to make things even worse, parliament wants to both reject May's deal, and to make a 'no deal' Brexit impossible. Even when it knows full well the EU has said it this or no deal at all. Parliament has no intention of allowing Brexit. You cannot negotiate with anyone while giving them an incentive not to negotiate at all.

  48. Why did RT not find this out? Why did RT's editor-in-chief, Margarita Simonovna Simonyan, sit passively like a lemon while two GRU assassins lied so obviously to her face? The story was right there in front of her! Why didn't she QUESTION MORE?
