Drugs are bad m'kay

Ok, so you've made some incorrect assumptions and come up with an incorrect conclusion. Understood.

No doubt some other politicians will have had trials through their lives, as some of us here will have. Regardless of what lives we've all had, we should be able to discuss the specific points at hand. For a politician, that means asking tough questions about their policies, and judging them on...

By managed, do you mean temporarily removed from the cabinet? What's wrong with her medication?

Well at least we're in some agreement. But I don't do that for other politicians I criticise. After seeing interviews of Natalie Bennet I got the feeling that she didn't have a clue about her own policies and so I judged her as a politician. Now the truth is, she's probably done some impressive...

I don't have a keen interest in her. I have, however, seen her on TV more than the rest of the shadow cabinet (put together), as she was on 'This Week' with Andrew Neil and Michael Portillo. She doesn't impact on your life now, but if Labour won a General Election she could. Just like that...

There are over a dozen threads on Boris and Trump. Why aren't we allowed to talk about other politicians?

Everyone agrees that Chris Grayling is a ****, so once we've established we're all agreed, the thread disappears. For some reason there are plenty of people here who want to stick up for Abbott, so a thread about her sticks around.

She's racist, for a start. Does that not mean anything any more?

We can't help the colour of our skin or our age. Are you seriously suggesting that we don't criticise the likes of Corbyn or Johnson?

Racist.
