It’s silly to think everyone on either side is great or not great but if we’re really going to discuss the characters of prominent “lefties” or “righties” I’d have a tad more ammo than you.

Feel free to fire away. I'm not really trying to point score and there are some bad un's on both sides. But I think O'Brien is a prize hypocrite, and Watson's role helping to hound a man to his death was disgraceful.
 
If your dad was being treated for long term cancer, and some ****er made unsubstantiated claims that he was a kiddie-fiddler and put immense pressure on your dad in the public media in his last months, weeks and days

would you be cool with that?

Probably not, if that’s really the case, but then I probably wouldn’t be crying about it happening to a stranger’s dad either.
 
I care a lot. It’s part of the reason I’d rather we didn’t go for the full Brexit meanz Brexit meanz Brexit. But I’m assuming Brittan wasn’t selected at random.

Why would you assume Britton wasn't selected at random, given that the only evidence against him comes from an alleged self-fantasist and convicted ****phile, and Britton's been cleared by a police investigation? No smoke without fire - is that what you're saying? You'd be great on a jury!

Why do you keep answering your own questions?

He was a Tory politician at that time. I’m not saying he was a nonce but there are going to be loads in his profession who slipped through the net given it seems to have been a pre-requisite to make it big a few decades ago.
