It does amuse me the conservative voters on here trying to claim some sort of moral high ground when it comes to double standards - imagine that was a Labour MP in the video... you'd have a 25 page thread on here by now.

A new direction is best for the country. In an employment situation, a bullying claim such as this would be investigated much more quickly. In the meanwhile, given the nature of the claim and the absolutely incredible number of people making it, a company would have no choice other than to suspend the individual and keep them right away from the work place during the investigation. Otherwise it runs the risk of further (alleged) bullying and a real chance of mental or physical damage to its employees. How many employers would let him continue to work? Absolutely none, zero, ninguno, keiner, rien.

We agree, neither of the mainstream parties serve their demographics that well.....and that is of course deliberate.

Edited by EverybodyDannsNow (01 Feb 2023 3.07pm) Well, I made the point! Also, it's hardly a rare occurrence obviously you don't go looking for criticism of the left but I can tell you that this observation isn't rare. I'm glad you're amused and yes double standards aren't exclusive to the left....people are people. However, when it comes to the claiming of a 'moral high ground' the left take the giddy limit. So when they are observed enacting double standards it brings that self reflective blindness into sharper relief. Edited by Stirlingsays (01 Feb 2023 6.09pm) 'Who are you and how did you get in here?

The truth is that everywhere around the world, so many governments who have tried to be anywhere near socialist have been targeted, undermined and affected by the US, the arch-capitalist superpower, that aims to keep such doctrine away from the god profit (at all costs) and acts accordingly.

Edited by Glazier#1 (01 Feb 2023 8.48pm) As Maggie said, “socialism is ok until you run out of other peoples money.” Basically socialism is all about the money as well because without it we are all fecked. The difference isn’t the money, the difference is the envy and jealousy of people who have it. And invariably work hard for it.

You just can't understand that there are many people who simply are not jealous at all. The difference is how money is divided. Many wish to live in a quasi-Darwinist 'dog eat dog' world but we are not brute animals; we are capable of so much more than that. There's a spiritual element to it, imo. I dream of living in a world where we help and share with our fellow creatures, not grind them into the dirt so that we may acquire more wealth, material goods and so-called status. Not for me.

That's a myth.....It's the John Lennon 'imagine' view of humanity. I think it's caused far more harm to people than many wish to recognise. You can be this person you envision yourself and give your time and money to causes that you feel benefit others. There is nothing wrong with that. However, the moment you start expecting others to want the same thing you do then you aren't helping and 'sharing with our fellow creatures' but instead you are insisting they have the same beliefs you do.
