Sdp, Peter Whittle's Speach

[Khandro]

What is there not to like?

[Khandro]

There's some excellent interviews & discussions on New Culture Forum, for anyone who isn't aware of it, here's a good outline of what happened & why to our universities; did I really spell 'speech' like that ^^ ?

I listened to a bit of it, Khandro, and gave up. I heard him droning on bashing the Tories but I've no idea what more he had to say - if anything - because I couldn't be bothered to carry on. If he wants to be listened to he should keep his grievances to a minimum and make his speeches more interesting.

n. //I heard him droning on bashing the Tories //
The Tories i.m.o. are now Tories in name only & could do with a good bit of bashing.

Might I suggest that you be 'bothered' a bit more, & listen to 'how the Left won the culture war'. they get a bashing too, - in fact that's what his book is about.

Khandro, to be perfectly honest I'm sick and tired of all the bashing - on all sides. I won't be listening on.

I’ve noticed that you frequently post a link to a video with a comment: “Something interesting” or “Very pertinent ideas here” or something similar.

Thing is - it’s all well and good to be passionate about something, but if you want to generate a debate, don’t you think it’d be better to actually SAY something about the link.

…to put forward your point of view?

Also - your answer to davebro at 8.51am.

Peter Whittle is not well-known. You can be politically engaged without knowing the backgrounds of fringe politicians.

Also - you post links to videos then castigate people for not watching.

It’s 15 minutes long.

The polite thing would be to summarise.

Point taken.
