Where was the insult in OP's post?

I only saw OP putting their points across quite peacefully and then out of nowhere

I wish you'd fucked off somewhere else

That's the point of civil debates. To discuss and challenge the ideas in order to reach a better understanding. If you're simply going to tell people to "fuck right off" without addressing their concerns it shows a deep lack of understanding of their concerns and only helps to push them further away from your own position.

What advantage do you get from insulting someone? Whilst I don't agree with the original post, I don't want to excuse this behaviour of the reply.

In this thread

but I hope we can talk about it in good faith and not fall back into entrenched views as has often happened in the past.

Also in this thread

I wish you'd fucked off somewhere else instead of voting for Brexit

Oh right 👍. Yeah that makes a lot more sense.

For a second I thought they were making obscene profits from 2 cent child labour pedals. No no, this makes way more sense 😁.

Alongside her speech, she also provided written testimony showing that, over the course of 2025, the tariffs would result in the cost per pedal increasing from 2 cents on April 27 to $12.80 on December 28th – a 640% increase.

Trumps tarrifs are dumb as fuck but 2 cents to make a pedal? LOL wut? Is that a typo? How is it possible to make a pedal for 2 cents?

Your emails and download details have now been passed to the IDF.

Holy shit I'm old I remember that album 😜

Because it gets attention on the issue?

Waving a Palestinian flag might have the same attention without the connection with a proscribed terrorist group?

I care that people and government are more outraged over this than literal tens of thousands of dead innocents.

We can do both. The world isn't and shouldn't be a zero sum game. Both should outrage us.

And that we support genocide as a country.

We shouldn't support them. Sickening that so many countries do.

Furthermore, I’m not sure I feel comfortable calling a resistence group terrorists if we don’t give the IDF the same label.

Many do.

Are we going to arrest the Brits who went to fight for the IDF.

Maybe we should.

You have to ask yourself why he didn't simply wave a Palestinian flag? Why did he choose a proscribed terrorist flag? Did he not understand the difference (useful idiot syndrome) or he did and genuinely wanted to promote a terrorist group?

It's the same thing as at a previous concert shouting "Kill your local MP". 🤷

The name Keith Stammer is not meant to be taken literally 🤣🤣🤣

Pick a child from her constituency that likes Sabrina Carpenter (I'm sure there are a few) and donate the tickets to them. Good PR, easy to do, removes any headlines like this.

Why are politicians like this?

 

Well she stole from a bank, so I suppose that's ok eh?

Huge apologies, it's the Star. But who doesn't love a bit of salad tossing in the morning?

Wasn't sure if this counted as UK politics given his previous job. Decided Clegg Is best left out of politics for the foreseeable.

 

Now this is a slippery slope I can get behind. Now you just need to convince your Northern voters.
