You will change your tune if it ever happened. Then you will be looking at a murder case and it wont be very funny at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of this sort of behaviour in terms of throwing shit at MPs is acceptable. Punish them at the balot box that is best form of revenge Starmer is an elected MP from a democratic political party. He’s not my cup of tea I won’t be voting for him or his party, but I recognise that he is a serious politician. I might not like the brand of democracy that made him an MP, I might not agree with the internal processes of his party. But I can recognise its legitimate. Perhaps a better analogy would be, would you be upset if someone had milkshaked Sir Oswald Moseley? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not voting for either of these parties as they both suck balls..both have a history of failing the British people. One took us to a pointless war, and lied about it while the others destroyed the nhs, crashed the economy and sorting their mates out left right and centre. I mean this is the first time ever i really am contemplating not voting as i dont like any party. I was going to go for lib dem but i don't even know what davey or his party stand for anymore. Davey reminds me of the guy in the room that no one pays attention too or takes seriously. Then you have the greens - who i think will tax the hell out of us. Then there is farage.

Yeah but it wasn’t. You may as well say “what if that coffee I drank earlier wasn’t coffee at all but it was MOLTEN LAVA?!” It makes no **** sense. If someone murdered nigel Farage then it wouldn’t be funny If someone throws a milkshake on him then it is. They are not the same thing 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That wouldn’t be funny because it would kill him. I don’t understand what you’re struggling to grasp here? Killing someone isn’t the same as throwing a bit of milkshake on them It’s funny if I trip my mate over for a laugh. It’s not funny if I saw his legs off with a rusty carving knife.

The hope is that eventually 51% are persuaded of what change actually is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See the difference? I dint understand what you are not grasping as it was just a mere example of how "a mere prank could go wrong" Yes my example is far fetched but it could happen to anyone who has a nut allergy foe example.

Would you find it funny if a right winger done it to starmer? There were no nuts involved. You’ve made that up. You may as well complain that if it had been a crocodile that she’d thrown it would have been dangerous. but Ok. I agree that if a prank went so wrong that instead of throwing a milkshake at someone which can do no more damage than make them soggy and embarrass them, you instead accidentally threw a bucket of peanut butter over someone with a nut allergy and killed them then that wouldn’t be funny. Yes I absolutely would think it was funny if it had happened to Starmer. I think it’s wrong, but it’s still funny. It’s MORE funny that it happened to Farage though because I don’t like him Edited June 5 by Stevo985 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
