The Labour party has at its core, good, honest, principled men and women - Pap, SOS, Bletch are all good examples. Their positions are consistent - Pap for instance is in favour of protectionism and happy to apply it to workers voting against the EU as much as he is to tube drivers. We can disagree, we can disagree quite strongly even, but there’s a tone of civility there and an understanding that both people are arguing in good faith and mean well.
Unfortunately the Labour Party are also infested by wannabe bullies like Fatso who want nothing more than to have their primal desire to try and pick on someone who they (often mistakenly) think won’t stand up for themselves - and then retroactively justify that to themselves by painting their target as some kind of straw-man they feel justified in attacking.
You can see it in the inconsistencies in his posts.
I’m muddling along and working hard to hopefully one day earn just enough to get by so that I can 1) have a roof over my head 2) have a good, honest job 3) have enough so I can maybe one day have a family life. Apparently that makes me entitled. Yet when we discuss anyone else, be they on benefits, be they a tube driver, be they any sort of public sector worker who’s earnings often come from those poorer than them, everything is absolutely fine and dandy and its an outrage that someone might see things differently. And to boot, he’s so out of touch that he doesn’t even realise that doing a job you enjoy or where you’re actually able to really help people and directly see the benefits of your work are actually massive luxuries ill-afforded to most ordinary people - who of course would love to have those opportunities.
If you point out these consistencies (which are all pretty obvious to most neutrals), you get nothing but a barrage of slander, smears and just straightforward lies about your character. He hasn’t backed up his comment about ‘me thinking I’m better than people’ or ‘judging people on money’ and why would he? He might as well be calling me a rapist and a murderer. Fortunately it convinces absolutely nobody but similar thick-minded numbskulls who duly get their arse handed to them at a general election by people, like me, who have no loyalty to the Tory party, but see a ballot sheet and think ‘right, anyone but that lot’.
Sorry Pap/SOS/Bletch & the good honest Labour men on here - but this lot are dragging you guys down.
Bottom line? I’m a good man. I’m confident in that I’m a good, honest, decent bloke and if someone wants to make shit up in order to convince themselves that they ought to think differently, then I’m just going to shrug my shoulders at their mistake. It’s their loss.
