I don’t know shit about politics. All I know is that in the UK the Labour party won, and the Conservative party lost.

I read some protestors are protesting against racism. What is this about? Protesting against new party that just won? I thought the Labour party was left-wing, meaning they are more on the social-equality side? I’m lost.

    I am just saying the violence ramped up very recently compared to the last five years for an example arbitrary date

    Why?

                If you want to enter into a discussion then use your brain and answer the extremely simple question asked of you.

                  “why why why” and I did answer.

                  Some questions for you as well. Do you agree or disagree there have been more riots in the last few weeks, than the preceding 5 years? This is the topic of discussion I stated at the start. If you don’t want to compare to the last five years, what time period would you pick instead?

                  “uhhh” - what problem do you have with my initial statement? Do you have any response beyond “uhh”. Would you like to explain your thoughts on the topic?

                  “Why 5 years” - as a general timeframe to discuss. I am not talking about all of history. Pick 10 years. Pick the time since conservatives took over. Pick the time labour was in power before that. Its arbitrary to allow for a focused discussion

                  “Why should I pick a date” - because you are replying “why” to every comment. So you decide what time period you want to discuss.

                  “im not trolling” - then engage in the discussion.

                    “Why 5 years”

                    I wasn’t asking why 5 years, I was asking why you’re saying the violence has ramped up compared to any time period at all? Why are you comparing to a time period?
