They resonate with what people believe is happening ... rightly or wrongly. Besides, good-for-nothing welfare bums are far more visible and obvious than manipulative oligarchs hiding in glassy towers.

Typical modern BBC.

Everything is either the fault of "the bankers" or "Thatcher"..... or both.

As for "BBC Free Speech": that's an oxymoron if ever there was one.

The only free speech you are allowed at the BBC is if every phrase you utter on it is politically correct, in favour of mass immigration, the EU, a big state, the Labour Party, multiculturalism and feminism.

If you dare speak against any of these your speech is instantly cut off (if you are on the radio) or you are met by a rude barrage of boos, hisses, howls and shouts from the Left-wing-vetted audience (if you are on TV shows like Question Time or a general election debate).

Yeah. It's the fault of the bankers.

Oh, and Thatcher, too. She's always to blame, even though she'd been dead for two years.

the root of the problem is capitalism and ayn rand philosophy, it's a violent societal cancer.

In other words, there's no room for anyone who doesn't think exactly like you. How oppressive of you.
just like there is no place for homophobia or racism in today's society. both part of right wing ideology btw.

But bigotry against all who don't follow your lock step example, A-OK? What a hypocrite you are! You endlessly cry about how freaking oppressed you are, rail against every aspect of Western society all the while nestled quite comfortably within it's bosom, enjoying all the benefits of it. You think ceaselessly posturing on the internet demonstrates anything other than "you're all talk".

The only difference between you and someone like Blackleaf is what side of the aisle you sit on. Nothing more.

both part of right wing ideology btw.

That is complete and utter bull.

I don't understand what bigotry having to do with saying their ridiculous ideologies have no place in modern society, that's just a simple fact - it's antiquated nonsense that is only a detriment to society, and humanity as a whole. Nothing different from saying misogyny has no place in modern society, even though it's still disgustingly rampant.

I also don't understand the argument that because you're "comfortable" you shouldn't argue for the hundreds of millions of others in poverty. Our system is broken and it's blatant to any thinking person, most people just don't care.

That is complete and utter bull.

So you know many leftist skinhead neo nazis?

You don't understand where expressing prejudice about an entire group of people in order to express outrage over prejudice of an entire group of people is hypocrisy? Whether that is an entire nation or every single person who happens to vote a certain way, doesn't make a difference. These are things that you do all the time, every damn day. What you spew are not facts, they are your opinions. And perhaps if you closed your mouth more and attempted to open your ears, you might find that not every single conservative person is a homophobe, not every single American is racist. Might as well say that every man is a misogynist, every woman a misandrist. They are all patently false statements yet you speak this way all the time.

I also don't understand the argument that because you're "comfortable" you shouldn't argue for the hundreds of millions of others in poverty. Our system is broken and it's blatant to any thinking person, most people just don't care.
It's called humility, you are in serious need of some.

So this means every single conservative or conservative minded individual is a racist? :roll:
