Can We Have Some Answers Please?

[anotheoldgit]

Why are the Left not concerned about mass immigration and the detrimental effect on our infrastructure, the invasion of Europe, the threat of Islam on our culture, the increase in knife crime, and the changing face of Britain?

Others can add to this list if they wish.

Andy - I think AOG was trying the old "he who denies it..." trick - shame he hasn't worked out that I just turned it right back on him :-)

yes it's the magna Carta, silly mis type, but don't let that draw you away from the main point.

The problem is that "the left" is a whole spectrum of view, but in my experience "the right" on AB appear to lump everyone left of them together and dump them at the most extreme limits of that view. (I'm aware of the irony of lumping everyone on "the right" together in kind...)

/// You'll struggle to gain many answers AOG if you keep insisting that the question wasn't addressed to such-and-such a person. ///

At least you came out as a true person of the left, and not one just denying you are, like some.

Perhaps I should have addressed my question "All Persons from the Left, can we have some answers please"? Or perhaps even a little more personally such as "andy-hughes can I have some answers please, why are the Left....."

I can't really say the same regarding Answerprancer's reply because although he denied he was of the Left, he didn't actually try to cover up his anti-AOG stance.

Mass immigration from Scandinavia, the Low Countries, Europe as a whole, the Middle East, Far East, India, Pakistan… and almost everywhere else… created the language we call English. We are a product of immigration.

the left do not realise, or acknowledge that their freedoms are hard won by people they hate. That's why they love to pee on the cenotaph or vandalise the statues of our great heroes of the past. They see it as attacking the establishment but they don't realise that they are fortunate they they are either rich enough through the capitalism they hate or fortunate enough, again through the capitalism they hate to be able to live in a civilised country with the right to do what they do and not be starving in the gutter with the genuine poor in the world.

Answerprancer - //Andy - I think AOG was trying the old "he who denies it..." trick - shame he hasn't worked out that I just turned it right back on him :-) //

To be fair to AOG, his standard practice - in place more or less since he joined the AB - has been to put forward a viewpoint, or highlight a piece of news, and leave it to the AB community to debate it as they wish - and that has largely been a successful remit.

However, on this occasion, I think his OP is a little wide of the mark - as I have advised, I don't think there is a 'The Left' - certainly not on here, contrary to the beliefs of those who delight in aligning themselves with the right of the political spectrum.

We'll see what AOG reckons when he comes back from his afternoon snooze.

Any other old cast members coming back to neighbour?

[jim360]

Didn't realise I had come out as someone from the left. I tend to view myself as left-of-centre rather than far-left, at least -- eg TTT's description of the left as people who "love to pee on the cenotaph" I can't say I identify with. I've never been there, for a start (in both senses of "been"...).

AOG...if you don't want people on the left to answer your question, why ask it in the first place ?

[andy-hughes]

AOG - //
Perhaps I should have addressed my question "All Persons from the Left, can we have some answers please"? Or perhaps even a little more personally such as "andy-hughes can I have some answers please, why are the Left....."

That would make your question abstract - which is fine - but I would still be equally ill-equipped to give you a meaningful answer.

//I can't really say the same regarding Answerprancer's reply because although he denied he was of the Left, he didn't actually try to cover up his anti-AOG stance. //

'Anti-AOG stance?' I'm unsure what you that means - but let's not progress down that road - it leads to tears before bedtime.

1) At least you came out as a true person of the left, and not one just denying you are, like some.

Well what sort of a chance does that give me?!
So *YOU* have decided I'm a lefty - ok then you are the easter bunny (don't try to deny it now).

2) I am not against you personally AOG, I only respond the way I do to some of the stuff you come out with on here, I've explained this many times.
I'm sure if I met you in real life we'd find common ground.

[Answerprancer]

TTT "they" do this "they" do that... where are you finding this tripe? In the Daily Mail? You make it sound like the country is over run by establishment hating anarchists!

Left of centre is Left, in fact what is classed as the 'centre' these days, it could almost be classed as 'far left'.

[Mamyalynne]

Somebody on here once told me what side I was on , I forgot to write it down though.

[jim360]

Well there you are, then. If everyone left of you is "far-left" we haven't a chance of answering the question without being lumped in with extremist morons...

[Answerprancer]

Mamya - to quote Spinal Tapp, you are the lukewarm water in between the fire and the ice ;-)

[Answerprancer]

Couldn't agree more Jim.

AP: Was the cenotaph not weed on by some lefty sh1tb4g? was Churchill's statue not vandalised? all a matter of public record mate.

Have you just also awoke from your afternoon snooze?

Who said I didn't want anyone from the left to answer?
