Reading through some of the reactions over the last few days, it feels like the issue isn’t really about a politician being around the club,it’s about which politician it is.
If the concern is that an MP is involved or being welcomed, then that should apply across the board, not just because it’s someone from Reform UK that people don’t like. You can’t say it’s unacceptable in one case but fine when it’s someone from Labour Party or any other party.
Every political party has had its issues over the years, whether that’s internal divisions, poor decisions, or controversies. You only have to look back at Tony Blair and the Iraq War to see that no side has a perfect record. That doesn’t mean everyone in that party is bad — and the same logic should apply across the board.
Some of the reactions on here have been a bit over the top, to be honest. Acting like people are personally affected or harmed just because a politician visited or had a meeting feels exaggerated.
Also worth saying: throwing around words like “fascist” at anyone you disagree with is way over the top. Most people using it don’t seem to understand what it actually means and it just cheapens the word and shuts down any proper discussion. Disagree with someone, fine, but labelling them with extreme terms isn’t helping anyone.
Talking about things like immigration policy doesn’t automatically make someone racist. It’s a legitimate topic that governments deal with, whether people agree on the approach or not. Labelling anyone who raises it as “far-right” just shuts down discussion completely.
And on the marches, fair enough, people can do what they want. But turning up in big numbers doesn’t automatically mean you’re right or that you’re creating real change. It’s more a show of feeling than a solution. Real change comes from debate, policy, and action,not just being part of a crowd for a day.
End of the day, if we want to be taken seriously, there needs to be some balance. Either we’re okay with politicians engaging around the club, or we’re not. But it shouldn’t depend on whether we personally agree with them. |  | | |  |

"saying that farage is morally far superior to thatcher and blair is a strong start in the edgelord stakes! "
I said there were worse.. Your framing is a misrepresentation.
Are you calling for a card to be issued? Very poor form.
I'm not entirely why you feel the need to verbally belligerent purely because I don't parrot your narrative or go with the Ad populum.
Anyway have a lovely day, best things. |
"Pretty sure Blair and Thatcher were far worse."
your edgy words, they've got you the attention you crave, happy now?
very snowflakey behaviour, if you think i'm verbally belligerent!
if this is evidence of a fragile character, i prescribe that you never meet mr. farage (unless of course you're white, straight, old and culturally christian)!
get out and enjoy the sunshine, leave the edgelord behaviour for the twitterati | |

I think if you spend all your days like this I will buy shares in Ramipril, and retire off the dividends. | |

For me it is both. I would have been unhappy had it been any MP... I am just doubly so that it was him and his party - I both find the man and his views abhorrent, and I don't think any other main stream party would have used the club in the way that he has. | | | |
