Nobody is casting stones - only commenting.
And anyway, It's all comparative. I am sure there are plenty of people on here who have never and would never stoop to the sort of nastiness which is being described here.

Pathetic political points scoring. The brother of one minister is a convicted sex offender and now the brother of another minister is allegedly a sex offender. Blue or red, take your pick.

Shock horror. Family member of Politician takes advantage of the vulnerable.

The financial problems he inherited were of course nothing to do with the global financial crash. If the Tories were interested in serious debate they wouldn't keep pedalling rubbish that even a semi-trained baboon could see through.

Hear, hear!
Didn't have you filed in the thicker cabinet Dave? For your benefit I'm implying that the OP will genuinely not lose any sleep as he doesn't when this type of heinous crime is unfortunately commuted every day by people not in the public eye. He is being immature and jumping on the political band wagon.

Whyever not, it helped them get elected and seriously damaged Labour's economic credibility.
I'm sure you would agree Labour were at least partly responsible for the horrendous mess.

I don't think there's any need to link Gideon to his brother's misdemeanours. It's often suggested that he has some questionable, er, 'habits' of his own. But what politicians get up to in their own time is their business. It should be for his uselessness as Chancellor that he's condemned.

Although I think that for the greater part of the period 1997-2010 Labour’s financial management was responsible I do think that mistakes were made in the later years and the extent and implications of these are a valid topic for debate. However these are dwarfed by the massive impact on public finances caused by the global crash. I can totally see why the Tories would want to put the blame solely at the door of Labour financial mismanagement as it deflects attention from the financial sector and justifies the austerity agenda but I have never understood why Milliband’s Labour failed to challenge this.

That's the problem with confrontational politics in this country.
For example; the country is still running a deficit, yet Labour will oppose any idea of cuts (even though they would have had to implement if they'd been in power). But, the Tories won't clamp down on the massive avoidance by the super-rich and multinationals. The extra increase in revenue by raising the tax rate to say 50% is negligible; all it does is to appease those with the politics of envy.
There are many issues wrong with this country.
Inefficiencies within the public sector.
Abuse of tax by the super-rich/multinationals.
Abuse of the welfare system by those who only want to take from society within contributing.
Chronic under-investment for too long in housing.
etc.,
Until politicians of all parties agree to work together and abandon the sound-bite politics, we're never going to resolve these.

This, and the post from Cheshunt Seagull that it is a reply to, are sensible and reasoned.
They clearly have no place on NSC.
