The Tories are the nasty party. They're literally the reason the UK is being investigated for human rights abuses against the disabled. If calling the tories the Nasty Party upsets you more than human rights abuses against the disabled then what the gently caress is wrong with you?

quote:

Being for kindness is as vague as being against austerity.

What the gently caress does this even mean? Like, is austerity not identifiable as ideological cuts to the public sector and mass privatisation? Why is she describing it as if it's an emotion? What the gently caress even is the Guardian's comment is free section anymore?

Possibly, or possibly it makes the left look like fringe agitators compared to that nice, statesmanlike Mr Cameron.

Well, one could march peacefully and resist the temptation to spit on journalists or Tory delegates, like the majority of the marchers today did.

Statements such as "the Tory party are scum" and "the Tory party are literally murdering people" are great for preaching to the faithful, but, I suspect, play very poorly outside those who are already on the left. And, unfortunately, we seem to be in the minority.

Do you also think that the suffragettes would have got the vote by being nicer to men?

Despite opinion polls showing that the public is agrees with the majority of what Jeremy Corbyn says, he's a far out left wing loon. The Tory party are the centre, despite the majority of experts in education, economics, environment and medicine saying they're awful.

Keep hammering that as the truth and hope that reality corresponds with whatever bullshit you make up by 2020.

This is largely true for the people he's targeting. He's not pitching to people who are getting their tax credits cut or are being subjected to the bedroom tax, he's going after people who are reasonably financially secure and who vote Labour because they want social justice and support the welfare state.
