A real nasty MP

Seems an absolute bastard.
Guess which party?

Consorts with the IRA, goes to Hammas terrorist funeral, wants to abolish our Royal Family, wants to scrap our Nuclear option, wants to reduce our military ,wants to nationalise everything, we know who that is don't we ?

I can counter every smear against the Tories with an even worse one about Labour Andy !
So don't waste your time !

Clearly you are Davies's biggest fan.
I can see why. You just hate everything decent in society.

Another shit.

The first example above alone shows just what an absolute geranium he is...

Anybody who wants to make slaves of disabled people deserves to rot in hell..

As does anybody who ever votes for him.

What "smear", nicko...

All those people are doing is making his voting record more widely known..

Andy wrote:Seems an absolute bastard.

reading through that, he does indeed seem an absolute bastard

has he ever justified why he thinks disabled should work for less than minimum wage etc

Davies is the sort of Tory MP that has done most damage to the party. Most of them are not like him, thank God.

I still choose to cast my vote in favour of the candidate that I consider will be the best for my community.

I am just glad Davies never contented my constituency.

Any link as to where this actual meme comes from, as in an actual story?

I'd take this with a grain of salt. I've been checking it against Wikipedia, and for one example:

In 2013, Davies voted against same-sex marriage because the bill did not allow for opposite-sex civil partnerships. In an interview with the BBC Two programme Daily Politics, Davies stated his reasoning for voting against it was "You can have civil partnerships and marriage for gay people. You can only have marriage for heterosexuals. It's not equality."

Now, that's not necessarily anti-gay marriage in my book, unless he just used that as an excuse.

And Ben, Wiki is no longer a reliable sourse for factual information.
Google is a great source of facts.

eddie wrote:Any link as to where this actual meme comes from, as in an actual story?

This is the problem with memes such as this, isn't it? They are circulated by an organisation or individual to promote a particular agenda or attempted discreditation, with the express intention that they will be multiplied through the social media, eventually changing or at least influencing attitudes on a large scale.

They are little more than caricatures or cartoons and in most cases any wordage attached to them is presented as actual fact when, in many if not most cases, it is nothing more than either personal or corporate opinion. Accuracy and balance rarely exist.

It's why I ignore them, either here or elsewhere. So far as I'm concerned they are nothing more than regurgitated spam.

Then don't read them. Many find them a real concern. As they say, no smoke without fire.

Andy wrote:Then don't read them. Many find them a real concern. As they say, no smoke without fire.

With so many of them it is difficult not to see them; it is just that I do not actually bother reading them. Their main objective is to influence thought without the message being questioned too closely.

Goebbels adopted much the same tactic.
