Brussels Mayor Tries To Stop Right Wing Conservative Meeting

Re: Brussels Mayor Tries To Stop Right Wing Conservative Meeting

I see that the Belgian Prime Minister, Alexander de Croo (who knew?!) has condemned the decision to close it down. Thats being a good liberal.

As the BBC news just said too, it's a relatively small conference, with some big names, but this buys it coverage money can't buy.

Hello Everyone

We are a bunch of immigrant hating right wing twats

Goodbye


Not sure that's great publicity

I mean loads of people know braverman is right wing gestapo material , this thing is not going to win her any friends

Maybe they should have another one next year

Can't you stop talking bollocks for just one day? Or perhaps stop after 11pm or something?

It really is a trend with you now. Ignore what's happened or whats been said, make something up entirely that fits some very specific doctrinal position forged in the 1970s and then argue against that instead.

Nurse!

Factually a load of right wing twats had a meeting in Brussels

That's not bollocks

Another fact is you probably wanted to go to the meeting to meet farage and drink port with the chief dealer of crap

And you have pictures of herr braverman on your wall next to Thatcher with a Tommy gun

I will pay for your ticket next year

I enjoy a good political debate.

But as with so many of them this one has again descended into the usual cobblers.

When a post in the thread talks about a right wing Tory mp (who incidentally is far too right wing for me, and the thought of her being Tory leader after the election is really beyond the pale) in the same breath as the gestapo you know it's past it's sell by date.

You’re looking at it from the wrong direction. Those people started out by trying to get elected and appearing all common sense and reasonable. Notice the similarities?

To the Gestapo?

Bollocks!

I don't usually use crude language but really, nothing else will suffice

And telling me I am looking at it "from the wrong direction" is condescending claptrap I am afraid

Re: Brussels Mayor Tries To Stop Right Wing Conservative Meeting

Why was Cruella, a member of the UK government attending this event and speaking alongside right wing nut jobs? Why isn’t she in the UK Parliament representing her constituents? Why because the little pipsqueak of a PM is terrified of her and has no backbone.

And as for the Nicotined Stained Frog, doesn’t he realise Brussels exercised their rights as a sovereign country? Leave means Leave Nige old boy, back you come.

Suella Braverman is not a member of the government. She is a back bencher. She was perfectly entitled to attend this conference. I don’t like her or Farage but the comparisons to the Nazis or Gestapo are ludicrous and juvenile.

Re: Brussels Mayor Tries To Stop Right Wing Conservative Meeting

That depends what they are advocating. The end of an imperialistic dictatorship - no. Bringing back Liz Truss? Yes

I see Truss was saying Farage should join the Tory party yesterday - the attention that woman gets since her humiliation as Prime Minister is astonishing. Thing is, she, and Farage, have powerful and influential backers who see the current UK Government as too left wing. Assuming Labour win the election when it comes, they’d better make a good job of running the country because what may come after them makes me despair for the youngsters of today.

Re: Brussels Mayor Tries To Stop Right Wing Conservative Meeting

Well said.

Seconded.

This is a common theme though. It's fair enough to not support a certain political view. The world would be boring if we all thought the same (although personally I think people should listen to them all with an open mind anyway. Only the other day Bob was going on about GB News for example and then later admitted he doesn't watch it), but to seek to shut down alternative views is something else entirely.

They will characterise them as something they aren't, littered with language like "Hitler", "Nazis" and the now ubiquitous"Far-Right" - a label about as devalued as a Venezuelan Bolivar - and then present themselves as honourable in standing against it, but they aren't, because the characterisation is false - a straw man. It happens in the other direction too, where things are labelled as "communist", "fifth-column" and the like.

And again, the irony of cheering the police closing down a peaceful political conference whilst denouncing "fascism" is so obvious you need to wear sun glasses to read CCMB as its almost blinding.

You mentioned this before and I must admit I do think you are onto something with the importance of a future Labour govt being a success, as I do think otherwise something more radical will be looked at.

I don't think parties on the rise across Europe are actually as many on the left would characters them (see my post above) but they are clearly something different from the status quo of centre-right and centre-left post-war western European governments.

I don't think Labour will be any more of a success than the current govt btw, because as I've consistently said, we keep misdiagnosing the problem, so we won't solve those problems, so make of that what you will, but that's another thread entirely.
