We all have freedom of speech, Will. I agree, sometimes stuff gets said that does belittle a poster's character (definitely to be avoided) or his/her beliefs (fair debate, so long as not abusive). But references, particularly sexualised references, to posters' family members are not right. I think we're agreed on that.

That’s fine but what I can’t understand you defend Johnson when he says let them pile high... whilst hundreds of thousands are mourning the death of loved ones. I’m apparently a minnow, Johnson is the PM!!! Some bollocks about him being a character just doesn’t cut it, what he said, which is hardly an isolated incident, is no excuse.
 
Hang on a second! Will those of you who feel it is acceptable to make sexual allegations about another poster's wife, please let me know directly rather than snipe from the sidelines. If you think it's ok, put your name to it...

I've said in an earlier post that it was a bloody stupid thing to say. But Boris Johnson is known to say things in private (and sometimes in public) with his foot in his mouth, that let's off steam but which he resiles from, when challenged.

Voters will have to ask themselves whether he really meant those words or he was an ex journalist steam-letting at very fraught time in this country's history.

If voters think he's a useless, callous bastard, then the Tories will listen and we'll get a leadership contest...

I would say it's on par in being acceptable to that of saying "no more lockdowns, let the bodies pile high". Will that do you?
 
****kng hell there are some delicate little snowflakes on here!

Was thinking exactly this! Precious wee souls, wouldn't have wanted any of these in a foxhole with me....some people are far too easily offended, they'd last about two minutes out on site with some of the people I work with!

He has apologised for being a 2222, so we move on. Just to point out I wonder how you two would have reacted if someone said something derogetory about your Mrs? I know, because I know how both of you reacted to being called 'A Scot' and 'Plasterboard boy'.
As for lasting 2 minutes on a site.. why on earth would I want to be on a 'site'?

Firstly, no one has ever accused me of being Scottish - why would they? I've been called far worse over the years...

Secondly, a while back Bob insuated he was "visiting" my missus whilst I was away on business and that was the reason why she was so tired when I got back at weekends - did I run off and cry like a little gitl? No, I returned his banter with something similar.

Indeed, wouldn't want your precious manicured nails to get broken, would you. What a wuss you are!

Okay I maybe a wuss for your job but you wouldn't last 5 seconds on mine. Actually you would never get past the interview. that's life. By the way I did call you a 'Scot' and you very quick to hit back at me. As I said you wouldn't last 5 seconds on my job as your memory is poor.
As for what you and another poster say about your wife that is unto you. However my Mrs doesn't need to be brought into a post on here.

It was a long trek but we'll worth it!
