It's not a big deal , punishing people like Jo swinson and all the low lives who destroyed everything for the past 3 decades is the only thing that matters . Which won't happen since the entire west has been pussified . Unless you punish people for their low life actions and arrogance and make a example out of it burning in the minds of people and carve it strong in history , they will repeat behaving the same way and all you can do is feel happy about is when they leave one by one after doing an irreversible damage . The next one will fill their seat and continue doing the same and all you can do is , try hard for decade just to remove them from their seat and feel happy about a irrelavant crap like that . It's just pathetic and weak.

I know you guys seem to dislike this guy and I'm an American so I don't really follow the political situation in the UK, but I feel like this guy might be getting a bad rap for standing up for himself. In every one of the videos that I've seen this guy go off on someone, it always starts with some shitheel making some kind of personal remark instead of debating his position or taking his sarcasm seriously. Sometimes a video edits out that part to make him look more like a bully, but if you watch the full videos of what transpires it seems someone always makes some deeply personal, and thinly veiled insult, before he brings it into the light. Then that person seems to shy away and play victim. The man is hilarious with a biting wit. In this day and age of always keeping the kid gloves on when dealing with subtle personal attacks, I appreciate his directness.

I have been trying to get work myself, and it's actually really hard to get it as a person that cannot cope well in examinations. This society is biased, backwards and stupid; but we do not see this in the present government leadership, both to the opposition and the PM. Both contrast and are very different. We all know Gordon Brown and Tony Blair were Tories in disguise XD

@mattcast44 9 жыл бұрын

I think it was more about categorising people, saying that all women think in one particular way. I wouldn't want everything about me to be postulated on the fact that I'm a man, so I don't see why it would be right to do so to women. In fact, saying 'Women all do this' is the very definition of sexism.

@ronnieswoleman4290 9 жыл бұрын

mattcast44 No it isn't. I could say that women all have breasts, or they all have vaginas, and that would simply be fact, notwithstanding the rare exceptions (breast removal surgery etc,.). Something is not sexist simply because it assumes a group trait that may well be true. Additionally, I see no one crying over the fact that he has DIRECTLY INSULTED men, by saying they are all heartless. " I wouldn't want everything about me to be postulated on the fact that I'm a man," I do agree with this, but this is not what Starkey is doing. He's simply taking a single trait and emphasising it for effect. I personally don't even agree with him, but if this is sexist, it is sexist against men, not women.

@mattcast44 9 жыл бұрын

Ronnie Swoleman Your statement refers to biological facts. What Starkey says is that all women can only think with their hearts, all men can only think with their heads. Yes, it is sexist against men and women. But if you listen to his discourse, he is saying that this is a situation where we ned to think with our heads. Thus all women are wrong about the situation as they can only think with their hearts. There is a huge difference between biological attributes and nonsensical inventions about the different way that the different genders think.

Labour were in government for 13 years, so I don't think you could blame Tories. Gordon Brown painted himself as some sort of 'steady hand' on the economy, and having safeguarded us from boom and bust. The truth is, he sailed to close to the wind with our countries' finances with vote bribing giveaways such as tax credits etc. Their PFI deals we are still paying for today, and our disgusting hospitals, cleaned by private sector agency staff, are what we have to show for it. Don't get me started at selling off our gold at the bottom of the market. Socialism is expensive.

Actually they are partly to blame

They're partly to blame for deregulation of the banks, but that had to be done. There was no right or wrong decision. In reality, the wider global market crash was a result of itself as a system, not the Labour Party.

I'm pleasantly surprised to see someone involved in football to be both intelligent and clear ...

His father worked in a washing machine factory and his mother was a cleaner. He brought himself out of the gutter. It's absurd to say he has no idea about real life. He knows far more about it than the rest of the panel, and he most certainly isn't a liar.

I agree with Starkey on many things, at least he's saying what a lot of people are thinking and doesn't mince his words unlike most of the slippery snake politicians and other public figures! Not sure about that sexist comment though, I hope it was tongue in cheek!

Fortnight Ish Who gives a shit, women make jokes about men like that and nobody ever bats an eye. It's simply because the focus was on him at the time, suddenly women are up in arms. Boo hoo

Starkey is a quality speaker. Precise and concise. As he said, which is completely correst, it is all facts! What a shame nobody has the balls to directly answer important issues

Fat twat , has no idea what he is saying. Starkey verbally nutted him.

The guy was a pompous, patronising ignoramus. Of course it's important that people understand that the reason why the current government is struggling to deal with certain issues. Prats like him have short memories and like to blame anyone but themselves for being able to give the Tory party some semblance of due in trying to clean up the mess that Labour had made. I'm not a big fan of the Tory part either but we need to be fair when it comes to the blame game.
