Originally posted by umslopogaas View PostRe. stupidity and ignorance, I think how seriously we should take them depends on who is showing them. It does not matter very much if they are shown by the man emptying my dustbins, or digging holes in the road (which is not to say that those people are stupid or ignorant, only that if they were it wouldnt matter much), but it does matter in the case of a politician in the public eye who aspires to represent us.
We certainly would expect politicians in the public eye, and who aspire to represent us, to behave in an appropriate manner and to watch their words very carefully.
However, Mr Bloom has made no bones about the fact that he was well aware of the furore his words would cause in the media. It appears it was a self-advertising exercise as he apparently believes that most voters are as stupid and ignorant in their attitudes as he is himself.
Thankfully, I believe he is hopelessly wrong ... and so, much more significantly, does Mr Farage.

Why would anyone with a passion for interesting music and a complete collection of the great works of Holger Czukay waste his life with these nasty people ? it's most perplexing .........

Do people really believe that it is appropriate to give serious amounts of money to a country like India that has a space programme and nuclear weapons aspirations? A country that can't be arsed to inoculate its infants and young against the most basic diseases, whilst it has more billionaires than the UK, France or Germany, for example?
All this while disabled people in the UK are being told we don't have the money to support them properly.

There is a discussion to be had about where we spend aid and who to
BUT you are falling into the trap of thinking that because one might object to this horrible nasty bigoted man that one is in favour of giving money to millionaires.
Why would you align yourself with this dick ?
