    Firstly, you are more likely to convert people to your way of thinking by demonstrating etiquette, decorum and empathy.
    I'm not trying to convert anyone. Particularly in the case of AtW.

    However, as a Tory voter I don't particularly like being referred to as scum because someone doesn't like their policies and has to pay more tax.

    Basic rule of politics, identify those you can change and work with them. Identify those you can't and don't let them take liberties.

        As a Tory (I am too) you should realise you're a "useless mouth" in society. Your net contribution to society given your IQ is likely to be negative.
        Atw on the other hand provides loads of high paying tech jobs, so he's much more valuable than you.

          That is pretty much a staple design criteria of Politics is it not?

          You last paragraph does lean on the side of exclusion rather than inclusion.

          AtW does have a direct, somewhat conterverial, stance, However he does make the effort to reference his position.

            There are only so many hours in a day. There is only so much work you can do. Don't waste time and effort on those with the extreme opposite opinion that you will never change.

            Unfortunately by its nature, Brexit is rather divisive. Especially on here. You tend to get extremes. There are some reasonable middle readers but not many.

              Bad news - Atw supported the Tories last time.

                It's more a general life choice. If you hate the way somewhere is run and you are mobile, why stay? Why not go somewhere where you agree with the ruling party? Or is it just that he doesn't want to pay tax and expects everyone else to bend over for him?

                Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

                  No. Not many left. You managed to drive most of them away with your attitude.

                    It does seem to be a theme that right wingers have foreign wives.

                    I realised that when he said prices hadn't risen since The Brexit ref.
