You right there have divided society. That elderly gentlman has a right as much as anyone to go about his buisness without fear or threat.
You have basically said because he isn't religious he is fair game. Your such a biggot.

I literally said earlier in the thread that what happened to him is very much not OK and whoever did it is a tw*t.

And if you're going to call me a bigot at least put 3 g's in it.

I have had several existential crisis level hangovers where I have asked myself this very thing.

Why? All this fuss about milkshakes when an actual MP actually died.

The milkshake issue is about support from people like you accepting the act.

The murder of Jo Cox was a lone action that carried no support from any group I'm aware of.

I was against Jo Cox's politics but I wouldn't have supported her getting milkshaked let alone the horror which ended her life.

That's the absurdity.

I wouldn't say I support it as such - just find it slightly amusing. As is the fact the phrase 'getting milkshaked' has now entered 2019 political discourse ha.

I think what I'm trying to say is that I'm not sure I buy into the escalation narrative and think a big deal is being made out of childish pranks when a lot, lot worse has already happen and people like old NF have used language around 'picking up a rifle' if Brexit isn't delivered. He may have been acting alone - but it was a politically motivated murder and he had been influenced by the political environment around him.

Exactly and that was a tragedy that should never be repeated. One person starts with a milkshake cos it's a "larf" and then some other idiot ups the ante.

The point as others have made is that this country is run by the consent of the majority. When people start to use violence in elections you start to erode the consent.

I don't find this funny and no doubt some pro Brexit idiot will retaliate, where does it end unless all sides condemn it.

By upping the ante do you mean a triangle of Dairylea to the face?

He was obviously affected by the political environment.....just as these snowflakes throwing milkshakes are.

However, there was no actual support for what he did, before or after, that's the difference.

I'm not exactly sure what suggestion you have to stopping things like that......I'm just saying we shouldn't be supporting things like throwing stuff at candidates....whether it's an egg at Corbyn or Prescott or a milkshake at anyone else.

This is BY FAR the biggest reason. The Chinese have produced more steel in the LAST 2YEARS than Britain has in its entire existence! There's no way we could compete; even if it is a far superior product then that which the Chinese is producing.

That's what tariffs are there to combat. Unfortunately, within the EU, we can't impose them as an individual country.

And the green taxes that the EU imposed on them.

British Steel collapsing, in part thanks to Brexit uncertainty.

Its not solely down to Brexit, but it is a large factor.

Who has the balls to go and knock on the front door of a Steel worker in Scunny and expound the virtues of Brexit?

Will Farage and Johnson pay their mortgages when they get laid off?

The GLOBAL downturn (that began years ago) is taking it's toll on many many industries/sectors..........AROUND THE GLOBE!
Once again, Brexit is nothing more than a scapegoat to the real facts. Sticking 'Due to Brexit' after any given 'problem' is the default position of the (vast majority) of the media and the (vast majority) of the populous swallow it hook line and bloody sinker.

You're an articulate man but your myopia is there for all to see.

Just catching up with some of the news & it appears there are a fair amount of Remoaners guess what? Yep moaning about a rigged election. Postal votes not getting in on time & EU Citizens not allowed to vote etc.
You have to give them full marks for whinging.
I actually didn't get my ballot papers until Monday 20th after being told by email they'd sent it out on the 8th so I spent $40.00 to make sure it got there, money well spent hopefully.

The "tolerant" pro-EU response to a party finally, unambiguously, providing a platform to those disenfranchised by the mainstream parties has been.. well, disgusting frankly.

The media encourage this too really, with their 'oh look it's happened again, I wonder if it'll happen again nudge nudge wink wink' coverage.
