I'm saying they are out of touch and preach at people who know the reality of life on the breadline more.

You're digging your own grave here - how does Rees-Mogg then know anything of your struggle?

Crackers. Absolutely on the absinthe.

This thread is about a tweet by Billy Bragg, not Rees Mogg. I don't doubt he is a hypocrite in many respects too, but this one isn't about him.

You started calling Billy Bragg a "champagne socialist". I'm merely pointing out how stupid and hypocritical that is.

I think left wing people are far more abusive and judgemental about how others vote I'm afraid. I'm not sure if it was always that way, but certainly has been since social media became a thing.

Rubbish.

Lefties , Champagne Socialists.

All put downs. Terms you use.

It goes both ways.

Before Social Media? The stick Foot and Kinnock got I presume you don't remember that from a right wing biased media.

It's not stupid. It's a word to describe people who are wealthy and want policies for people that would impact upon himself far less.

Pretty gentle. And how is "lefty" an insult? It's not like calling someone scum is it? You read what Sludge writes, you just choose to go with it. You see the abuse on social media, just choose to ignore it!

You are a posh git who uses big words to do the same you accuse others of doing

He's not that insignificant a cultural voice on UK politics..I just checked and he's been on Question Time 8 times!

I believe he lives in a very salubrious little village just outside Bridport a little in from the beautiful coast. West Dorset. Tory since the dawn of time, although interestingly may go to Lib Dem this time.

I like his music but I just think he's a bit of a hypocrite, and like a lot of left-wingers they dismiss people with different views who are very often far more at the coalface of policies in the UK.

So a lot of left wingers do etc etc

But your lot don't?

It's only the left who are aggro ?

You are full of brass neck

You're going to read it how you read it, I cant control that.

Im talking more about the general public with one another, people in pubs, work canteens, football message boards etc.

I understand why the politicians do it, that is pretty obvious. I just find it weird the way the public get riled up and try and persuade others or sometimes shame them into voting differently. I wasn't asking you to agree, I was just posting a random opinion.

So random that you changed your mind within one post.

Well, for someone who doesn’t like left wingers being judgmental, youve certainly been that about Billy Bragg - how dare he move to another part of the country!

I know a lot of left wing people who endlessly go on about diversity and the like and then bang..have a couple of kids and move to the sticks! They want it for others, less so themselves.

I thought it was only left wingers that were abusive - I never used to think you were a wind up merchant, but you’re becoming increasing hysterical lately and seem to be looking for bites all of the time, maybe I was wrong?

I do take back the word prick. I do like the guy, except when he preaches about politics and doesn't walk the walk.

But you can't see the irony in people like Billy Bragg?

Fair enough!
