      It’s not that difficult to find people with cretinous views (left or right) at any age group, from 18 to 80+.

      Which age group do you fit into?
      And you are a fooking idiot if you do not think there is a huge threat from socialist thinking like this - the assumption that the communist regimes which killed hundreds of millions of people are a good thing.

      Hitler was an amateur compared to Mao - 6 million compared to 65 million

      And yet it is facism and not communism which is the problem.

        It’s not an either/or problem. As I said, idiots on either extreme.

          Proportional representation would be a very good first step

              Yet it is - slightly right wing - fascist and therefore bad like Hitler

              left wing - communist/socialist and therefore good - like Chairman Mao

              Seriously you go stand in the middle of the office and tell people you are a communist and some of the younger ones will cheer

              tell them you are a fascist and they will call you hitler and boo. (well actually you would probably need to say Nazi as the snowflakes do not really know what fascism is)

              post the result back here

                Go into a 'Spoonies or betting office and do the same and you'll get the opposite result. All this tells you is the demographic and social make up of those spaces.

                Although, saying that, I work in an office and I've never met anyone who claims to be a communist. Socialists, yes, but never communist. Would love to know which companies you work in if that happens ... or are you just making it up to suit your narrative?

                  should remove the vote for the retired, as they have no concern for job losses as their income is secure. Plus, they are more likely to have dementia and hence are not of sound state and mind to cast such an important vote.

                    Let's face it, a 2 year old will have more understanding of the issues around Brexit than a lot of the gammons
