Blueledge

It should have been our finest hour

instead we tell a story.

How members of the working class

went out and voted Tory.

    (ermmm, firstly
    I'm sorry I just read your words
    as few as they are, and I got triggered, evidently
    I think I still need time
    to get over that whole Iraq, debacle
    I'm sorry, again
    if you find my tone rude
    or my
    overopinionated words, just wrong..
    please, forgive me
    if you feel I overstepped
    the privilege you afford me to read and comment
    on your self-expressions, artistry
    I genuinely, meant no disrespect)..
    if labor was in power
    we may have our children
    dying on Ukraine's soil
    while we protest, impotently
    at downing street
    (deja vu?)
    for a war, we had no business
    getting involved in
    so fck Blair and his twisted legacy
    as soon as he joined
    the eu Remain, campaign
    everyone voted for leaving the EU
    cos we know, 'truth'
    whatever that is, exists at the opposite
    end
    of whatever BS, that spineless sell-out
    is trying to 'tony blair'
    (as-in literally
    that's his name's legacy)...
    Tory (fckrs)
    at least care about themselves
    so we know they won't fck up
    their interests
    at least, we can hope they won't
    (and fyi
    I support neither..
    so called
    political party's, are becoming
    the Munich walls
    for modernity's atheists, who
    need something to feel
    impassioned about...!
    'in my humble opinion')

      I'm not offended by your comment. Nothing wrong with an alternative opinion. It's alternative facts I have a problem with. Seems to be the thing nowadays?
      Iraq war was wrong but it seems the price to pay for being a member of NATO is fighting American wars.
      I'd give credit to the Labour party at the time for peace in Northern Ireland.
      They also stopped Cameron taking us into a war in Syria.
      Politicians in general are poor at the moment. Well that's how I feel anyway. Maybe I'm wrong.
      I do think a Labour government elected in 2019 would have returned essential services back into government hands. That's the reason I voted for them LB.

        perfectly logical
        like I said, I just need time to comprehend Iraq is all
        and yes
        Cameron was no better, he run away as soon as his shody dealings
        were leaked in spain..
        and Boris with his 'hidden away' children, is just a pitiful shadow
        of a human..
        (I really appreciate you putting up with my self-indulgent rant
        may your kindness be repaid tenfold, dear poet)

        • Blueledge

          Rant all you want. Sometimes it helps.
          I'm just so disappointed with the quality of the politicians in general.
          Most of them are millionaires so what does that tell us?

        • Doggerel Dave

          I've been away too long, so some of your debate re Blair and Cameron goes over my head.
          But I do know Iraq was wrong , and that mass protest made SFA difference.
          As for Korea, Vietnam and so on, and on - right up to today's conflict..... Same cast, same story.
          Thanks for putting it out there.

            When will the world stop fighting wars and act together as one human race.
            Have I been watching too much Star Trek?

            • Doggerel Dave

              I think I've been attempting to correct the misperceptions here re war, history and 'tyrants' for too long (and should shut up about it).
              See my last few entries here.
              Opinionated debate welcome however....
