She really needs to speak for herself when expressing the view that strong opinions about important local matters cannot be understood in a broader social and geopolitical context by working class receivers. And then she proceeds to misrepresent the position as "minimisation" of the matter. Well, it's nothing but absolutely gross Daily Mail/Sun-style dumming down of any kind of educated standard on the assumption the working class will buy it.
Patronising??? Hahaha your lack of self awareness is staggering.

What exactly is a “comformable” mind”?

I’ve heard of “conformist” but to accuse me of that would be put together with your claims I can’t use English properly, have lost my wife to a karate instructor or have brought up my children to be racists.

Yes, I think “childish bickering” would cover it.

More than 100 women & girls were sexually assaulted on NYE ‘16. The perpetrators were largely North Africans.

Pickles response is not to condemn the disgusting men who did it (of their own free choice) but to blame Russia with some mad conspiracy theories.

I'm bowing out of this thread and trying to police it.

Other mods can decide appropriate course of action for all concerned as it's a no-win position.

Funny ol game this Internet lark. 
A person who consistently and openly defends certain nefarious characters gets called out for his twisted views and goes squealing to the site mods and within hours, all kinds ok warnings are being thrown around. And yet the 'victim' openly issues death threats in full public view and not a single feather is ruffled.

Still, nothing changes, we know what we know.

I find it very amusing that you talk about moral panics and brainwashing of the plebs, but cannot see that yours is precisely the kind of highly conformable mind that cult leaders love to exploit.

You mean after you went crying to the mods like the absolute wet wipe you are? Happy to give it out but run off crying when it comes your way.
 
 
Some years ago. Pickle went through a brief phase of accusing me and my family of being IRA sympathisers. I shrugged it off. I didn't go crying to the mods, because I'm a grown adult.

Well of course you have no complaints about the modding. You delibrrately provoke abuse from posters, then run crying to the mods, and they fight your battles for you.

Hammer and Pickle" wrote: 03 Jan 2025, 14:41 I see there is actually quite a lot of cross-party consensus on Musk trying to stoke another moral panic about the grooming gangs. 

Would anyone like provide a little more detail and clarity on what lies he has actually been telling before I have to find out myself?
 
 
"Stoke another moral panic about grooming gangs"

The moral panic was already there by those who were long paying attention to it years ago. Anyone in their right mind would have moral panic and outage over what happened/happens and glad someone high profile is turning up the heat and the spotlight on it.
