Give him a ****in slap.

Gloomtastic!

You become one. They always rebel against their parents.

A layer of bubble wrap will suffice.

leitrim4life

Four little words "move to Saudi Arabia".

Pkiernan

I'm know he's smart enough to not be a lefty, I'm just afraid the promise of free everything for doing nothing will be a temptation!

Corporal punishment and Major Pain.

Dont. Let him. That's what college is for. Then you learn it's a load of sh1te and grow out of it.

BuboBubo

It's too late.

Sorry bout that.

the_pen_turner

Teach him that we are all equal and point out the genuine problems that this kind of nonsense causes

Sharp MZ700

Just hide the car keys better.

riffmongous

Considering your usual post history, this thread doesn't come as much of a surprise. Poor guy is probably desperate to get to uni

punisher5112

Embrace them and cuddle them no Matter how nuts they are.....

Capt'n Midnight

It's just a phase.

Rory Stewart used to be in Labour and he could be a future old school Tory Prime Minister. Might be sooner if Boris throws a wobbly and Rory sets up an alternative parliament.

shootermacg

Endless chasing of short term growth and profit while the planet is at crisis point?
Should the state intervene to stop the madness now....or ahem, should we all ignore all that fuss while we get on board the globalisation train?

PS: Bloody poor people and immigrants! (Added that in for you OP )

He'd be a silly boy to turn that down.
If there's any left over I'll have a bit too.

the beer revolu

If my dad was Gemma O Doherty, I be a left wing socialist.
You're fûcked, OP.

Paulzx

Provide him with a "safe space" where he won't be influenced by anyone. Shelter him from all unsavoury opinions and the hard realities of life.



....................damn, i think i've just turned him into a lefty!

branie2

Give him a good talking to

InTheShadows

Bring him to Bradford or Malmo and let him see the fruits of the lefties multicultural dream. Save that just send him to Saudi with a rainbow coloured gay rights t-shirt on and see how he get's on.

Tommy Kelly

Get him put down.

Chinasea

Do not worry. Taste of money will turn this.

I was left, but I ALL right now.

By getting yourself a proper hobby.

PopePalpatine

Hide tiny bits of gammon in his food.

freshpopcorn

Ban him from Twitter!

super_furry

Hang that painting over his bed.

the1eyedsnake

It just goes in phases,

left wing loonies will grow old into conservative old farts....just give it time.

Only after they’ve gone on to assume a position of power and irrevocably altered the course of a nation?

IamtheWalrus

Be grateful he’s not on the right; they don’t care about the long term fate of the human race.

ILoveYourVibes

Um?

Just try and steer him away from politics altogether. Get him into sports or find him a hobby support him in that.

Just tell him not to be like this poster.

Stop trolling would be mine.

A few rogerings from the local Commie leader will set him right

Don't force him to go to church.

A lot of guys do get into it for love alright.

And by love i mean punani.

Yer Da sells Avon

Slap the empathy and decency right out of him.

Bobblehats

We’re picking up here again....

Simple. Just make sure he's aware of your erudite, intelligent posts on Boards and he will surely eschew the left and follow in your footsteps.

NSAman

Call him a racist everyday, he’ll soon see it’s all BS.

that would have been claire daly back in the day :pac:

Make sure you always come across as well (or otherwise) in real life as you do on here. Your inherent pleasantness (or otherwise) is bound to rub off on him.

Also, have you considered home-schooling him? The likes of the Iona Institute are big into that. It'll inevitably turn him into a weird freak, but at least he won't be a left-wing one.

ILoveYourVibes

Tell him he will never be a Kennedy.

"If you're not left-wing in your 20's you've got no heart. If you're not right-wing in your 40's you've got no brain"

ILoveYourVibes

Tell him its not left or right ..its just doing your best.

Atoms for Peace

He need to make him cynical, OP. Maybe kill his pet* and blame it on Mary Lou McDonald.
