All over the civilised (?) world, politicians have worked out that lying to rednecks and rural people and those easily swayed who will believe whatever they're told, works!

Unless things change, a lot, millions will suffer and die.

Times are generally tough for people and they need to blame someone. Instead of blaming the ones who actually caused a downturn in the general standard of living, various egomaniacs and potential dictators are suckering whole populations - well, 1/2 of them, which is enough to get elected.

I can't think of a good dictatorship, anywhere, ever.
Can you?

Great news - the new Ottoman Sultan has need of 'Christian' Janissaries. I've volunteered all of you - if not circumcised this will be an interesting induction.

Studyform - I've been thinking about this stuff for a while. The egg is complicated. Still, change or die, eh?

Now that was no comfort at all, was it?

We know we can do better.

And the rednecks know more than 'we'/you think.

Slivovic now, talk later. Much later.

You are surely not stupid enough to think that Politicians aim just for 'Rednecks' in their daily propaganda, Jeremy will be horrified. Laugh.

Jasus annie I never had you down as so simplistic, please tell me it's an aberration due to the Easter festivities. Love

Study, (or lack of it) please get a Brain, then an education, then some real world experience, and then come back with something useful, it doesn't have to be erudite, or even clever, simple common sense will do, just unshackle yourself from your 'Bleeding Heart' blinkered libbbtarrd world view HTH>

Found out at work that the Turks were having some vote today and thought when i go back home, there must be a couple of threads on the forum kicking Erdogan's ass. I was right. But will we ever get to a point where we dont have to take the massive responsibility of worrying about each and every contry in the world, especially now that the Brits are out of EU and dont even have to cave in to Erdogan's refugee threat? Surely you guys shouldn't give a feck about what Erdogan does? Just wondering...

One of the biggest electoral cons was Blair's mob getting in and flooding the country with the EU's poorest. I'm guessing the op thought that result was ok.

The wisdom of Un-study........"I can't think of a good dictatorship, anywhere, ever.
Can you?".................. Below is mostly copied and pasted, as I can't waste a perfectly good Bank holiday on fools like you, get your head out of Jezza's ahole there's a good chap

Try this on for size dopey, It's called 'Benign Dictatorship'........."I am often accused of interfering in the private lives of citizens. Yes, if I did not, had I not done that, we wouldn’t be here today,” he said in 1987

Lee Kuan Yew came to power in 1959 and led Singapore to independence from Malaysia in 1965. A tiny land with no natural resources turned into a global economic powerhouse under his guidance. "I was trying to create, in a third world situation, a first world oasis,” Lee said in an interview in 2008.

The economy of modern Singapore is known as one of the freest, most innovative and business-friendly, according to the Asian Century Institute. It was ranked the second freest economy in the 2011 Index of Economic Freedom behind Hong Kong. The Global Competitiveness Index 2012-2013 ranks Singapore as the most competitive country in world.

With an average per capita GDP of just $427.9 in 1960, Singapore surged more than a hundred times to over $55,000 in 2013, making the country one of the  the planet. As for crime, forget it, they know how to deal with it, 'Bleeding Hearts like Un-study wouldn't be tolerated for a second.

Like I said get an education dopey. Oh and yes I have Lived there. HTH, but I doubt it.

why dont the likes of studyform  move to one of the countrys where theres no democracy,seens they hate it so much at least they hate it when they lose,before they layed into turkey saying the result cant be believed and must be fraud 2 libtards ,snowflakes reviewing  the papers on sky today ,picked out a story not about n korea,syria etc but the government might give barrista servers some sort of special visa,s to enter the uk and serve the snowflakes their coffee,slagging of the uk unemployed who wont serve them coffee in the process,not that they are interested in finding out but the reason the jobs are no good to some people is the pay wont cover housing costs,travelling to work costs, etc,but when your living 20 to a house,4 in a bedroom,2 in a bed living in a garden shed,garage,etc, your housing costs arnt that big a worry

why should I have to say anything?  He said Singapore was a dictatorship.  It isn't.  Rather than admitting that he was wrong, he asked me if I'd ever been there or talked to anyone who lived there.  I don't need to go to the moon or have talked to Neil Armstrong to know that it isn't made of cheese.

boxingthefox has done nothing itt but tell lies and insult posters.

Have you reported these people to their landlords if they exist 1tp? After all I'm sure they will be very interested in their 5 or 6 bedroom houses being populated by 3x the amount of people and tenancy agreements being broken all over the place Confused

boxingthefox,
A - dave is right, Singapore is Not a dictatorship. In terms of population and world standing is a poor example anyway.
Just for the sake of arguing you take an opposing stance to everything I write, to the extent of trying to prove dictatorships are a good thing!!!!

B - WHERE??? Did I ANYWHERE, say ANYTHING that can be regarded as "Bleeding heart"?
and what does this refer to?: Wouldn't last a day, 1st time, enjoys the freedoms, granted by others, and sneers at them, he is the worst kind of so called thinkers.

C - In terms of brain and its use, there isn't a single thing your brain can do which mine can't do properly.

D - This is a step too far. I suspect you can't go past C.

detraveller, I cant see what's wrong with "worrying" about Turkey, or the US or Syria or North Korea or even Rwanda come to that. It is an interest in world news and events. Not tainted by a right-wing or left-wing view, but caring about ordinary people all over the world and how unfair things can be for them. Just because of Brexit and that we live on an island shouldn't make us insular.

1st time poster,
you really should leave a little space after each punctuation mark (commas, full stops, etc).
The whole point about Turkey is that it is about to lose its democratic status so your democracy statement is pants. I never said the result can't be believed either. Did you actually read my OP, or understand it?

So many of you brownshirts (on this thread let alone the forum as a whole) seem to want to make EVRYTHING some sort of tribal event. You seem to be in the 'Trump, Brexit, Bliar, call everyone else a libtard, snowflake - and all the other names' tribe. Even when its unrelated.
Stop it and grow up.

I'm guessing you really mean all those rednecks and rural people and those easily swayed. Anyone who doesn't share your questionable values in fact.
