Not trying to put words in your mouth, but are you subtly suggesting that voting should be taken away from the great unwashed because they can’t work things out for themselves and are too stupid or unconcerned to even try?

That's dead easy - you don't need to separate truth from fiction because it's all lies now. As a nation, we have witnessed the death of standards in public life, cheered it on and given it a resounding majority.

The "let the bodies pile high in their thousands" comment was the equivalent of Trump's "I could shoot someone on 5th Avenue and they'd still love me and vote for me". People know Johnson's a liar, they know he's corrupt, they know he's happy to watch them and their families die if it suits him, they just don't give a fuck. Mainly because they think it will be someone else's families that suffer.

I’m not a voter - never really have been.

What’s worse, politics before social media when everyone was kept in the dark or politics now where social media and whatever version of the truth parties put out just gets mingled and nobody can separate truth from fiction.

For people like me who have no real strong allegiance as such the last few years watching it has been horrible. I can't be fucked to vote anymore if I am honest. Social media and places like this thread show that people will not be converted from their beliefs and I get that.

What I find now more than ever is the constant shouting down and people are so condescending when you tell them why you are voting one way or why you don't like something. Politics is fucked in this country and I find myself not liking any of them or anyone who just shouts about them at me

Let's face it, Johnson could say "bollocks to the Queen" and marry Megan Markle and still not enough people would care

Quite an interesting thread from Dom's predecessor looking at the wider electoral and structural problems facing Labour https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1390549774986788864.html

I'm almost as annoyed at them as I am the tories.

Please No Ghey sh1t

I enjoyed reading both pieces. Where did Reg go to school? When his real-life name was disclosed, it rang a distant bell from my junior school days!
