How do you see your self politically

[Brigadier]

Nothing wrong with that, u

Strawman.
I didn't say there was anything wrong with it.


I did point out though that your simplistic definition

Right wing = working for a living
Left wing = living off other people

collapses at the first chink of light being cast upon it.

there is a you tube vid “Are We the Baddies?” — That Mitchell and Webb Look, where the SS officer asks, "Are we the baddies"

I suppose politically we all think we are correct, we are all sitting on that fence,
for me I'm left on some things (climate change, the enviroment etc) but then other stuff like immigration I'm on the right.

Hmm. family of mum, dad, 3 kids.
Dad dies, or disappears.
Mum can't earn enough to pay for childminders for 3 kids.
so...

My mother's mother, who would have been born about 1900, told of watching her mother having to have sex with the rentman and his mate because she couldn't pay. Back then there weren't abortion clinics, it was standard to use a knitting needle. If you missed a period you pushed it into the cervix and wiggled it about to induce one , = a miscarriage. Really cheap, no need for benefits.
The good old days?

Have you found your brain yet?

The main difference I see looking back at this thread...

Right wing - below average intelligence.

Left wing - need to share some of their IQ with The Wangers.

I'm a fairly generous bloke.

You are not politically driven or have any political feelings whatsoever. You are just argumentitive and enjoy winding people up. You are like a sheet of glass. You're fooling no one

He’s right, you’re just bored and like to try and argue.

We’ve all sussed you out now.

Lol, tell us more about your right wingery Charlie.

Behaviour and discipline in schools; illegal immigration (not rabid about it, but needs addressing); welfare reform, similar; defence ramp up (takes years, so get a move on). They spring to mind. Lefty couple... a society protects and supports its vulnerable. They are not parasites. We should be a scandi style social democracy- it's not communism.

Fair do's, agree with some of that. What would your aims be on welfare reform?

Minimise fraud, but also errors (which is much more than fraud btw). Look at UC, it's not as good as it could be. Scrap triple lock. Sort social care- wipe away any protections on assets for the care. Your house is in play- deal with it.*

Edit
* People need to wise up. IHT is a whole other thread, so leave that. But ask this: "What use is my house TO ME if I am near the end of life, and need 24 hour care? £1500 a week is a scandal, but leave that also for now. If you have a £500k house, that will cover 6 years ish. That's a great deal, with inflation and rising fees covered by the state, and no bills from day 1.

We need to shed the, "My Mum n Dad worked all their lives for what they have, nobody should take their home." line, cos it translates to, "Somebody should pay (not me though); and my inheritance should be for me alone".

Or, put 5% on all taxes except fuel, VAT and energy. Let's see how that one lands lol.
