Boom! Boom! Yer get what I is saying? Da Lib Dems gonna legalise da weed!
…a comment which says an afwul lot about why the Conservatives have been eradicated from the inner cities. Doesn’t it, Mr. Tory Troll?
Now if only we can find a way to eradicate them from this forum…
It is also a comment which explains exactly why we need more diversity in politics – crass racial stereotyping from ‘Its a two horse race’. Rob – can you remove that comment please
New Lib Dem campaign ‘tune’?
What’s wrong with the world mama?
People living like aint got no mamas
I think the whole worlds addicted to the drama
Only attracted to the things that bring you trauma
Overseas yeah we tryin to stop terrorism
But we still got terrorists here livin
In the USA the big CIA the Bloodz and the Crips and the KKK
But if you only have love for your own race
Then you only leave space to discriminate
And to discriminate only generates hate
And if you hatin you’re bound to get irate
Yeah madness is what you demonstrate
And that’s exactly how anger works and operates
You gotta have love just to set it straight
Take control of your mind and meditate
Let your soul gravitate to the love y’all
People killing people dying
Children hurtin you hear them crying
Can you practice what you preach
Would you turn the other cheek?
Father Father Father help us
Send some guidance from above
Cause people got me got me questioning
Where is the love?(where is the lovex3)(the love2x)
It just ain’t the same all ways have changed
New days are strange is the world the insane?
If love and peace so strong
Why are there pieces of love that don’t belong
Nations dropping bombs
Chemical gases filling lungs of little ones
With ongoing suffering
As the youth die young
So ask yourself is the loving really strong?
So I can ask myself really what is going wrong
With this world that we living in
People keep on giving in
Makin wrong decisions
Only visions of them livin and
Not respecting each other
Deny thy brother
The wars’ going on but the reasons’ undercover
The truth is kept secret
Swept under the rug
If you never know truth
Then you never know love
Where’s the love y’all?(I don’t know)
Where’s the truth y’all?(I don’t know)
Where’s the love y’all?
People killing people dying
Children hurtin you hear them crying
Can practice what you preach
Would you turn the other cheek?
Father father father help us
Send some guidance from above
Cause people got me got me questioning
Where is the love?(where is the lovex3)(the lovex2)
I feel the weight of the world on my shoulder
As I’m getting older y’all people get colder
Most of us only care about money makin
Selfishness got us followin the wrong direction
Wrong information always shown by the media
Negative images is the main criteria
Infecting their young minds faster than bacteria
Kids wanna act like what the see in the cinema
Whatever happened to the values of humanity
Whatever happened to the fairness and equality
Instead of spreading love, we’re spreading anomosity
Lack of understanding, leading us away from unity
That’s the reason why sometimes I’m feeling under
That’s the reason why sometimes I’m feeling down
It’s no wonder why sometimes I’m feeling under
I gotta keep my faith alive, until love is found
People killing people dying
Children hurtin you hear them crying
Can you practice what you preach
Would you turn the other cheek?
Father Father Father help us
Send some guidance from above
Cause people got me got me questioning
Where is the love?(fade)
It may be rather floridly expressed, but that is our policy isn’t it?
If it is a troll, why should it be a Tory? It has the smack of New Labour to me!
That same troll can be seen heckling Mark Pack here.
It’s a Tory, or I’m a bowler hat.
Hello, bowler hat.
Great, instead of ignoring the troll the discussion is being swayed by him causing everyone to ignore this news piece…
The comment from it’s-a-two-horse-race shows the commenter up far more than anyone else, and so for that reason I won’t be removing it.
I would say to other users of the site – “it’s-a-two-horse-race” comments on this site at all times of the day and night, always from a BT dial-up address, so they look like a classic troll – someone who spends a lot of time at home on the Internet, and so has become disconnected from some of the basic tenents of human dialogue.
You cannot beat trolls by arguing with them – and shouldn’t try. There is no reasoning with them. I simply recommend that you ignore “it’s-a-two-horse-race”, and don’t let him / her bug you.
It’s really good to see the party engaging with The Voice on this and particularly good to see Simon Woolley backing it.
Actually, I think the trolls do an excellent service in exposing the younger members of the Tory Party as a vile collection of up-thrusting, back-stabbing prep school brats.
As for the weed… perhaps too many trolls are on it!
There are some on a mission to win this election by any means necessary. We need to stop them dead in their tracks by making sure that everybody you know of legal voting age is registered to vote. The deadlines are quickly approaching. Please! Please! Don’t let this election be stolen!
