Vacation idea for Pa Lapsy; West Virginia

Arrragghaa, shurrrra, what harm?

Great to people speaking their minds once again.. In today's TIMES , May declares . Voters have turned against liberalism and we have to listen.

Another passage from today's paper.The left's agenda is not to oppose bigotry or ignorance.It is to gain power and control.

Give it over Dolerider you don't know you're left from your right, idiot.

He isn't alone, Rock, indeed he is just copying others inaccurate use of the word.

The triumphant Brexiteers are lauding it over "the left", conveniently ignoring the fact that the Right wing stance was predominantly Remain.

Equally, Trumpites throw out the "left"  label dismissively conveniently ignoring the fact that Trump stands for a retraction of free trade (a central plank of right wrong politics) plus a return to Keynsian stimulus politics, traditionally favoured by the left and flying in the face of Reaganism and Thatcherist Monetarism.

Wonks himself would vigorously defend any reduction to social welfare payments (you cannot expect a Turkey to vote for Xmas after all)...which I would consider an extremely left wing stance.

So, ironically, for all this dismissive labelling, the fact is the underlying polices have never been so muddled.

Perhaps the more accurate term for the Trumpist Brexiteers is Alt Right (preferable to Nationalistic Right which has connotations neigh accurate parallels which they would prefer to avoid) .  Perhaps when you are that far to the right on certain issues, even conventional right wingers can be mistaken for 'Lefties' ?

Is it any wonder Wonks & Co. are confused?  Best to avoid these over-simplistic labels.  They no longer apply.

Looks as if you've joined the unemployed Ozy,Rag n' Bone man will be furious with you...

Whats the spread on the time it takes Wonks to appear on the thread with an inane smiley?
