Metro readers discuss: Who are the bad losers, the left or the right?
Have your say on these MetroTalk topics and more in the comments.
Remember when republicans stormed the Capitol?
John Nightingale (MetroTalk, Mon) calls the left ‘such bad losers’ following their response to Donald Trump becoming president.
But while the Democrats maybe unhappy, they have accepted the result and started their plans for the mid-terms in two years.
After Trump lost in 2020, the right grabbed their guns and tried to storm the Capitol to prevent Joe Biden being certified and spent the last four years pushing Trump’s lie of a stolen election.
Who are the bad losers really, John?
On the same page, Otto Inglis, meanwhile, says the fact that Trump’s vice president-elect, JD Vance, is married to a practising Hindu ‘refutes the false narrative that he is some sort of Christian religious fanatic, who would see Margaret Atwood’s Handmaid’s Tale as a guide rather than a cautionary tale’.
I’d recommend Otto read up on Project 2025 and the plans for a Christian theocracy in the US. JD Vance has links to Project 2025, and their aims to remove abortion and LGBTQ+ rights are well known. Lewis Gibson, Birmingham
Should climate change deniers be allowed to vote?
It was refreshing to see Graham Pearson (MetroTalk, Mon) say the quiet part out loud for once when he was wondering how so many could vote for a man whose response to climate change is ‘drill, baby, drill’.
There’s always a suspicion that the left would like to do something about all of those dreadful, uneducated oiks voting the wrong way and suddenly, there it is, he said it – ‘democracy, in the face of this apocalyptic climate breakdown, is now unfit for purpose’.
I look forward to the one-party state and re-education camps, Comrade! Chris H, East London
Farage’s helped Trump – why couldn’t Labour support Harris?
John Daniels (MetroTalk, Mon) says it was predictable that many Metro readers would complain about Donald Trump’s re-election.
He asks why they criticised those who voted for him when they do not live in the US. We did because they have elected a man who has the potential to greatly damage the UK economy if he imposes heavy trade tariffs.
John further thinks Labour has damaged our relationship with the US by sending activists to help the Democratic campaign. You could argue that Nigel Farage’s support helped Trump. Why should that be acceptable, if Labour’s actions are not OK?
Either way, the US public’s actions will not help this country. C Jones, Middlesex
Is Trump a great friend of the UK?
I am surprised and disappointed that Metro has considered it appropriate to publish scornful sarcasm aimed at Donald Trump and his supporters, disguised as feeble humour.
It was totally unfunny, except to those who believe only people who think like they do can be right about anything.
People in this country who don’t like him should try to look beyond the man and perhaps they might realise that he was the far better choice for the UK, because he is a great friend of this country, whereas Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are not. HG, Maidstone
Would you stand up for a stranger being harassed on the train?
Further to the letter from Collette, who was harassed on the train by a group of beer-drinking men while most people stood by (MetroTalk, Tue). Men don’t understand or care how intimidating and scary men can be.
I, as a woman will always stand up for other women and girls. I encourage others to do the same Amy, London
