Socio-Political question

[coventrygull]

oops I have done the test and it appears I am a bit of a lefty now

 

[Southover Street Seagull]

Try the political compass and see how you come out in the test. I used to be Libertarian Left (just) and now I am Authoritorian Left(just).

I'm just to the right of Gandhi. That's made my afternoon.

Fascist.

 

[HampshireSeagulls]

In the triangle of GW Bush, Thatcher and Bliar. Where I expected to be, pretty much.

I'm just left of Ghandi
Which is handy.


Actually it does surprise me because I thought I was more authoritarian than that.
Oh no, Am I becoming a hippy ?

 

[Man of Harveys]

I'm very much on the left, and very libertarian. Which is exactly what that website has confirmed.

Wasn't he a paki?

Or are they called muslims these days?

Handy Gandhi? Removes 100% of household stains?

Good for making salt as well, apparently...


I'm diagonally opposite Thatcher, which suits me just fine.

Not sure. Better ask the Indian side of my family.

Because opposites attract? You dirty Bertie.

Call them "Daltreys".

As in Roger Daltrey.

As in "I can C4 miles....."

Sorry - military joke pandering to the limited intelligence and low moral fibre that everyone expects them to have.

Yeah, it's the beaky nose and the grating voice. Gets me every time.

Ditto. I also happen to be wearing sandals and a nappy at the moment.

So, back to my original point - what is a 'lefty'?

Hants - I'll post my considerations as to whom I was originally referring (that's name and shame to you) a bit later. I want to see how many of them post a response. This is purely gratuitous curiosity, you understand.

I'll answer your question when you can tell me why the only reply some people on here (no names yet) give to genuime comment is to criticise the grammar and spelling rather than have the courage to enter into debate! below is a recent reply from a member on a post discussing the Brighton & Hove city council are racist's story in the Argus

" For a start, your kids would need to be literate, and they clearly wouldn't be learning literacy from their Dad. So, I'll correct it for you - free of charge, of course".

I once had an extreemly graphic dirty dream about Thatcher.

Denis, Margaret, Carol or the one that needs a GPS to get to the corner shop/sponsors military coups?

 

[Man of Harveys]

Git yo LEFTY asses over to the 4x4 thread: unsurprisingly a discussion about vehicles that kill people has coaxed one of those elusive beasts (with the distinctive call of "lefty, lefty) to emerge from the undergrowth...

Well, yank your string to this, baby: I bought a SANDWICH next to Mark Thatcher in Pret A Manger at Victoria about a year ago. He was a buying coronation chicken and crayfish and rocket sarnies and said not ONE WORD to the serving person throughout the entire transaction. He's very tall and seemed weird in the extreme.

Thankfully (I think) Margaret.
