@GBPolitcs Where do you even start with the Green Party? They have no credibility, no realistic prospect of power, and policies that seem to change with whichever way they think the political wind is blowing. Their contribution to serious political debate is negligible.
@GBPolitcs Does anyone actually give her views any real weight? She’s shown herself time and again to be remarkably uninformed, self-important and wilfully blind to reality.
@Rstr_Adlestrop@RupertLowe10 You make some very valid points, but despite that, we mustn’t stoop to those levels. I just feel we have to stand above it and be better than that.
@gingerrtom Its a cultural expression of who we are,&something that,when representing ur country,u would generally expect to sing&be proud https://t.co/sL3RYFnVkF breeds a sense of national pride.Sadly,given the slump we’ve found ourselves in-there seems little of that pride left
@Rstr_Adlestrop@RupertLowe10 I haven’t followed whether there was any violence,but that’s neither here nor there. People wearing balaclavas&behaving like this is intimidating&frankly frightening.I fully agree their concerns should be heard,but there are far more constructive&intelligent ways2make your point.
@MichaelDanme7y@RupertLowe10 We’re talking about people who are supposedly standing up for our nation’s culture and values.What they’ve done is moronic at best,&I struggle2believe that even the majority of people who support the underlying sentiment would actually align themselves with this sort of behaviour
@MichaelDanme7y@RupertLowe10 Anyone wearing balaclavas and stopping traffic is, quite clearly, thuggish behaviour. It has absolutely nothing to do with pro-Palestinian marches or anything of the sort, which I fundamentally condemn and believe have no place in this country.
@RupertLowe10 The chaps who did this today are absolute morons, and you should condemn them. You can agree with the underlying concerns while still recognising that this sort of behaviour is completely unacceptable and ultimately undermines the very argument they are trying to make.
@RupertLowe10 Come on, Rupert. I’m with you on the majority of the points of view you put forward, but this is thuggery. It’s embarrassing, and it’s certainly not something anyone should want to hold up as the image of their nation.
@TRobinsonNewEra And taking things down to the level of disruption we’ve seen from groups like Just Stop Oil is just plain thick. If you want people to take your argument seriously, there are far more intelligent and constructive ways of making your point.
@TRobinsonNewEra Whilst I very much agree with the general sentiment and the seriousness of the issue this country is dealing with, people wearing bandanas and stopping traffic is absolutely obscene. It completely belittles any legitimate argument you may have.
@MikeTappTweets this, while apparently wasting valuable police time in the process, makes you seriously question whether the priorities are in the right place.
@MikeTappTweets When you hold a position that is supposed to serve and represent the public, you should have a far more balanced and considered view, particularly when your own party is in power and doing such an astonishingly poor job of addressing the wider issue. Putting out statements like
