That hardly points to a position of elite supremacy.Darkyboy wrote:You haven't explained why though.

The suggestion that Lily Allen is in an elite did raise a chuckle.

Re: Political Correctness?
Lily Allen is as entitled to an opinion as Katie Hopkins. Their professions are beside the point. Both get attention due to their respective levels of fame. Katie Hopkins was getting mass attention even prior to embarking on a career in radio (her fame is based on the fact that she once appeared on a game show )Darkyboy wrote:Yes, but Katie Hopkins is a radio presenter and her job is to discuss such things.

The "liberal elite" is a lazy catch-all term coined by the right wing media to condemn people who have an informed and less reactionary view of things.

Big government. No God as the manifest is your belief, no freedom but the warped freedom of the sick fucks you follow.
All the same shit whatever name you want to put on it.
And yep. That is what you follow and love. Left wing types like you love it like that. At lest be honest.
Same as Ralph and the Tick. You are what youse are. Many names I could call youse but sissy men suits just fine.
Anyhow. You are all losing so just deal with it

Re: Political Correctness?
Who is a troll in her ways, but a shill is much more suiting and fitting. There to stir up shit. For that is what trolls and shills do. They do it whatever way they can. To suit whatever agenda they push. And they mostly always lie.Darkyboy wrote:No, at the risk of repeating myself, she's also a talk show host and has a newspaper column.subsub wrote:She's a troll.

Newspapers owned by Richard Desmond, Rupert Murdoch or Lord Rothermere never complain about a right wing elite having too much influence.

Re: Political Correctness?
Ralph, what's the difference between so called right and left wing elites ?
Both groups do the same and the only difference is which tribal bullshit allegiance they peddle as a means to personal gain. Tony Blair, for example , didn't really mind which party he joined when he decided to go into politics, but he chose labour because he thought there was less talent there at the time than there was in the Conservative party , and therefore a quicker route to the leadership.
I'm actually really interested how you come to attach yourself to one bunch of corrupt areseholes rather than another.
