And more realistically, the Greens are strong in Lancaster - Morecambe and Lunesdale not so much

Me? I'll vote for whoever stops reform in my constituency

But I've got four years to think about it and four years to be more convinced that a populist left is going to work

I'm don't like populist politics at all

Not sure Owen and his like want that sadly

Not the best medium for communication for starters so I apologise for that impression

I'm glad that you get how lucky our generation has been and that you are well aware that hopefully we can pass that on to those younger than this

Whichever term you use is fine, as long as you understand how lucky we are

Not just the time period, but where we have been born as well

I get that you don't like being called a boomer (I'm 52) but the reality is that we had a golden time and my generation and yours votes to change that sadly

But mass poverty, millions living in squalor, the wealth concentrated in a very small minority (no change there then), rule of law very biased in favour of wealth etc

And there was European revolutions (not bloodless) as well

If you don't want to think you are blessed then feel free but.......

I think its safe to say that the Labour activists that have gone to Green are very likely to be the shouty types who convert one and lose three

I desperately cut Owen Jones loads of slack cos I agree with him on so much but f**k me, his internet persona turns off millions

Feel like I've got to put this in a historical context

1945 to now is just completely not the norm

No European wars, massive tech advances, huge standard of living increases, better food, more choice

We are blessed and its time more people understood that

We are in real danger of forgetting that

Jesus, these appeared on my facebook video feed about two days ago

I blocked the add but my facebook video feed is all comedy (honestly!), GoT, Marvel that sort of thing

They are just appearing everywhere then?

Big "Life was much better in the past" update

tbf, the only possible clash I have now is on facebook, and my personal account is used 100% for winding up racists/conspiracy theorists

I take a calculated risk that they can't get it together enough to work stuff like that out, what with that believing everything they read online thing they have

Farmers are ace

They moan about how crap stuff has been since 2016, then slingshot without the slightest pause to how ace Farage is and how Brexit is the best thing ever

Well, yes, but you've got your work one in the bio of your personal one so you are giving it away as well

You need two completely separate accounts really or the real weirdoes can track you!

it is astonishing just how people can't see it makes sense to have a work and a personal account

Sometime in 1945 when it became obvious that the post war world would be vastly different

King Charles I and his various parliaments had rows over this

Ended up in civil war

Yeah, its all a bit "The new commander of Army Group Vistula is Henrich Himmler" isn't it?

Sacked for saying stuff that el Presidente or gym buddy Sec Def doesn't want to hear?

Yeah, nothing could possibly go wrong with that
