@RupertLowe10 I planned to join Restore this weekend. Due to the unprofessional and emotionally incontinent drivel posted by @orlaminihane and @howardccox, I will postpone until I see how this plays out. I've wasted time and money on a self imploding party before.
@Steve_Laws_ We've seen poor strategy and communications, factual errors, and grotesque abuse aimed from spokesmen at their own supporters. They need to take stock and stop doubling down, or are not fit for government.
@TruthAsylum121 Orla's error is unacceptable. She needs to be much more circumspect when answering a question on a random topic she is not prepared for, and needs to listen to her critics rather than dismiss it as abuse.
@albionjay1@RupertLowe10@HowardCCox@orlaminihane Orla has also been on Talk accepting premises she should have rejected re Restore members, misogyny etc, while failing to provide context and putting into perspective in relation to other parties. Just useless to support if this is what they're going to do.
@HowardCCox You're objecting to personal attacks straight after calling people from your own party not even human? Ridiculous. Sort your head out and behave like a responsible adult.
@zoep217 Remember that we have to believe in the people as well as the policies. The attitudes of Orla and Howard in the last couple of days have been naive, immature, and now abusive.
@orlaminihane Referring generically to 'Restore supporters' is not helpful. Please stuck to just agreeing or disagreeing with any particular point made. We have various views on a complex issue. Don't provide ammunition for the party's enemies.
@DrowningGenX@orlaminihane@RestoreBritain If we took the extreme measures necessary to stop it (e.g. imprisonment, removal of children into care on a grand scale), even the victims would turn on us, and hate us more than they hate the perpetrators. If Somali culture is to change, it will be changed in Somalia, not here.
@orlaminihane I have spoken with many Somalis while doing Christian evangelism. I believe they will do whatever they want, and you will not stop them. If you took the extreme measures necessary to stop it, the victims would also turn on you, and hate you more than they hate the perpetrators.
@orlaminihane Britons are jaded from having seen their concern for others turned back on them as if they are the problem, and perhaps believe this would just result in more of the same. 2/2
@orlaminihane I understand but wouldn't this have the same results as stop and search? In spite of black ppl being the most common victims of the violence being tackled, this was presented as racist targeting, and so wound up people who went on to commit violence against whites. 1/2
@Rebella2688 Democracy has no validity when the government can simply change the electorate through immigration. I don't care about democracy. I care about the customs and traditions of the English people
@AramaicWire@marcomejia34742@Pontifex Maybe because the Pope seeks any reason to attack and undermine western civilisation. Clean house before you complain.
