  2. And yet he continues to convince people of his outrageous claims <doh>
    Unfortunately, we live in a twisted world, where the likes of Trump prevail.
    Merry ****ing Xmas you orange TWAT!!

    Two things here. Public figures are often held to higher account than the rest of us. Many people think that should be the case, I'm of the opinion that normal people should be allowed normal traits. This means of course that no media publication can be seen to be supporting such weird behaviour, even if it isn't really that abnormal. That is double standards but it's so ingrained in society that nobody can say any different without ridicule. For example you can't say that you like a Gary Glitter song without being called a *****, or if you do you must preface it by saying "i'm not a ***** but...". Secondly, and where I completely agree with any punishment he gets/got was that one area that people can be held to account regardless of whether you're an MP or not, is the use/storage of porn at work. This would not be tolerated by 99% of workplaces (note what you said about the mine) and would mean instant dismissal. So this isn't a case of being held to higher account as an MP, it's actually a case of getting away with it. And let us not mention that if the policemen hadn't come forward (the ones that the Tories now want to punish) then he probably would have got away with it completely.

    Frightening that. Who put the music on the soundtrack though? These people should look up the definition of "news".

    There's rumours going around that Nick Clegg will be getting a knighthood in the New Years Honours list.

    I'm sure it's for his services to his Sheffield Hallam constituency and nothing to do with keeping him sweet due to the amount of dirt he likely has on several high-ranking members of the Tory party...

    Distressing story, but this one was also linked at the bottom of the article:
    https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news...nk-click-safety-ads-ejected-national-archives

    No! No! No! I couldn't feel stronger about this. It's about writing Jimmy Saville out of history. It is no different to changing history because it upsets people. Like it or hate it he did do those road safety campaigns so you can't just simply remove them from the archives. It's as if the authorities don't believe the public can be allowed to chose between other than black or white. Saville was evil therefore everything he did was evil... except that he did some stuff that wasn't evil - no shade of grey is allowed - so they will just quietly remove that stuff. I think I mentioned recently about whether you should be "allowed" to like Gary Glitter music... or is it that we can't even discuss this without being branded "pro-*****" or something like that?

    1. The attempt is an ad hominem fallacy.

    2. Not the "authorities" .

    An entire social class who try to frame everything in
    black and white, and woe betide those who choose
    the other colour to the one they have decided on. ***

    *** Of course, there is much amusement to be had
    when the choice between black and white causes
    a dichotomy conflict on a related topic.

    As this needs pointing out to the Orange Overlord...

    global
    adjective

    1. relating to the whole world; worldwide; not just the US east coast.
    2. relating to or encompassing the whole of something, or of a group of things.
