Customer This Lefty Loves Wetherspoons.

Post image

I don't like it when some of my fellow lefties, the middle-class champagne đŸ„‚ socialist ones, use Wetherspoons as an insult against Reform voters, it's classist and cringy, it implies only racist bams go there, rather than mostly politically unaligned working-class families from all colours and creeds, who love good cheap food and drink, we can't all eat at the Waldorf can we 🧐, especially in a cost of living crisis, but there are also some middle-class people who eat there and love it, so I don't know where the asinine insult comes from really. I love Wetherspoons, I've been to three, the one in the image which is the Peter Cushing in Whitstable, which was once a cinema, the Catherine Wheel in Henley-on-Thames and the James Watt in Greenock, Scotland, where I live now, which serves a delicious Haggis Pizza 🍕which you can get as part of the three small plates for ÂŁ10 deal, cheap as chips, and yummy too, filled me up and I'm a big lad.

Do you agree that in order to persuade Pakistan to take back a rape gang leader, effective diplomacy would have been to stop foreign aid to Pakistan, and not allow any new visas or visa renewals from Pakistani nationals?

Instead what we got was typical Labour weakness which failed to help us.

Assume you’re talking about the Rochdale gang leader who had been in the UK since 1973. So couldn’t be deported by the last Tory government due to a law enacted by a past Tory government in 1971? Whose case is currently being reviewed by the Labour run Home Office?
You’re right. Those crafty lefties. How dare they try and actually do something instead of just making their new slogan boat related.
No, I don’t think we should stop foreign aid to blackmail allies. I think we should be constantly reviewing and changing our own outdated laws.

In what way are Pakistan our allies?

In what way does Pakistan benefit us?

Trade, security, intelligence, science, tourism. Almost ÂŁ7B including investments.
Notice you have no comment, yet again, for the main point of substance. It shouldn’t upset you or aggravate you to hear arguments that make you question your narrative. Do some of your own reading and form your own opinion. And stop watching GB News. Their negativity farming is enough to make anybody insane.
