Quote from: smelmoth on May 31, 2024, 12:07:28 PMThat really is lazy analysis.
What has defined the 14 years of the Tories in government? How much of that overlaps with Starmer.
The Tories took us out of Europe. Would Starmer have done that?
The Tories have fixated on immigration. Has Starmer?
The Tories have dreamed up bullshit, red meat policies like Rwanda. Has Starmer? Will he back out of the Tory mess?
The Tories are obsessed with Culture Wars and "anti-woke". Has Starmer stoked those issues?
The Tories brought us austerity. As tight as the fiscal situation is, there is no prospect of Osborne era austerity.
The Tories have cosied up to Meloni, Orban etc. No indication or even prospect of Starmer doing likewise.
The big issue of our time is what the Tories are describing as "the green crap". Starmer is miles ahead of the Tories on this.
I don't think anyone even believes that there is a significant overlap between Labour and the Tories on these issues.
Is the Starmer-is-a-Tory trope really just a dissatisfaction with his stance on Gaza? Or is it the failure to recognise that whilst in "ming vase" mode Labour are highlighting the economic shitshow they will inherit and dampening down expectations of what they can achieve, and more importantly, how quickly?
Maybe it's easier not to think about these things and roll out the lazy analysis?

Quote from: Tony Baloney on May 23, 2024, 07:24:42 PMSome of the lads need to familiarise themselves with the term "the lesser of two evils". By their very nature no politician is going to tick every box but if you find yourself rooting for the Tory candidate *ever* then you need to take a look at yourself.
Quote from: Truthsayer on May 23, 2024, 02:36:40 PMWouldn't it be nice if there were no such things as personal attacks eh? But if someone with the platform that Brolly has can go on his podcast and sanctimoniously preach about the importance of kindness (as he does routinely) but simultaneously uses the same platform to attack and belittle people (I couldn't count how many times I've heard him use the phrase "f**k Mickey Harte" or "f**k off Mickey" for instance), then I think you're being a little sensitive about people with no such platform taking a pop back at him on an internet forum.Quote from: Snapchap on May 23, 2024, 02:30:40 PMSome of Brolly's comments have been OTT and personal, I agree. Point I'm making is I made suggestions at the weekend that Harte is past it and won't bring Derry on any further. Innocuous enough and as well as getting hammered for it, accused of previously been here against Harte under different names was a shout made to the moderators... but is okay here to call Joe Brolly a 'cnut' ?Quote from: Truthsayer on May 23, 2024, 02:20:09 PMI didn't say he was squeaky clean, but in any case that wasn't the question I asked you.Quote from: Snapchap on May 23, 2024, 01:42:46 PMHarte is not squeaky clean either yet when he is criticised here, its a crying match.Quote from: Truthsayer on May 23, 2024, 01:19:01 PMAre you OK with the bile Joe uses in his repeated personal, nasty, vindictive attacks over the years on the likes of Mickey Harte and Enda McNulty?Quote from: p3427977 on May 23, 2024, 11:37:40 AMBrolly is a cnutIncredible the level of bile can be expressed here regarding Joe Brolly but suggest Mickey Harte isn't the man and boys be clutching their pearls calling for the moderators.

Quote from: imtommygunn on May 23, 2024, 01:54:17 PMwhat'd he say about enda mcnulty? Paul Grimley, David Gough and Cavanagh way out of line with. I haven't really listened much to him since. Doesn't seem to understand that RTE were absolutely bang on to get rid of him.

I'm not sure the term "Western" is appropriate, every west European country and Canada, Australia and New Zealand support the ICC.
The USA don't.
Then the post should have referred to the USA and not to "Western".
