People don't generally stage revolutions against newspapers, or even against trolls.

And I actually like the Queen ,though not the hereditary principle. I think in principle we should have an elected figurehead president, but if she stood for the post, she'd get over 80% of the vote, and I'd vote for her. How's that for a raving revolutionary statement???

Jeneral2885 isn't really making that argument, or even making any sense at all.

I thought it was a bit much to say I 'hated' it overall. It is specifically a certain group of commentators whom I hate - James Delingpole, Ed West, Peter Mullen, Cristina Odone, Tim Stanley - and most of them seem not to have published there in the last few months. Delingpole went off to Breitbart!

If you mean DU UK posters, then surely you are one of 'you people'; if you don't think so, why do you post here? If you mean Corbyn supporters: while most of us here want Labour - under any leader which now means Corbyn - to beat the Tories: most here probably did not vote in the Labour leadership elections, and some of us gave our first preference to other people. But the political enemy are Tories - we should not give way to fighting each other!
