No, they were socialists; they had swathes of socialist policies. What modern left-wingers find so terribly painful to digest is that the Nazi brand of socialism evolved into a totalitarian regime, as is the inevitable end-game for all socialist and communist models.

I consider the vaccine as something that people have done to protect society . It seems to me like not spitting in the street and washing is something I can do to help protect my fellow citizens. What my status re vaccine has to do with the topic is not relevant. Boris made the rules I expect him to follow them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

My point is that you say we should be ashamed of Boris as our leader during this pandemic However, we were the first and one of the fastest to roll out the vaccine Our government isnt perfect but none are.....we are all extremely lucky to live in the UK during this pandemic Im not embarrassed about that 👍 Edited January 14, 2022 by Jack Grey Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Agreed cressida. That's how I see it. People keep calling Boris but they are repeating it like a parrot they never say what he's lied about.

briret 9 #32 Posted January 14, 2022 Poppet if you are having a party Boris will come. With the difficulty the government has in distinguishing the difference between work and having a party. Perhaps we should dis-continue using the word party. Just say come round my place to Boris. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

With all the restrictions we are undergoing at the moment imposed by the Conservative government, (unnecessarily judging by their actions, and by a large number of the population) I think we are in more danger of a totalitarian regime under the Tories, than we ever were under Labour. At the same time the Tories are removing the social services which are there to assist people during hardship. We are much nearer to Fascism than Socialism Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
