    not that you'd do the same to back up the tories of course.

    Ok, in 24k posts, show me where I have done that.

    I very highly doubt you will be back to prove what you said ;)

    I believe in a thread started just the other day that you defended the tories by stating that they actually punished wrong doers and that labour should take a leaf out of their book (or words to that effect ;))

    What you actually ignored in that very same article is the fact that the 'punished' tory guy was also complaining that he had been punished whilst another tory guy, who he felt had broken the same rules, had not been punished in the same way.

    Cut you in half and you would be blue all the way through, unfortunately as with many partisan voters you actually seem to believe you are unbiased in some way ;)

    It is about time they stopped acting like children!!

    I like to view PMQ but they hardly answer a Question and spend time point scoring, harking back to the previous government when they have been in power for a decade or more and going off the point!!!

    Crazy system!!!
  • Thanks. That makes loads of sense.

    To judge by your posts, you wouldn't recognise sense.

    You are such a drama Queen, just take your blue glasses off occasionally.

    Did the tories not throw him out?

    I didnt miss anything. HE was complaing of something. That does not distract the fact the tories threw him out!

    What am I supposed to say to qualify that they threw him out in your book?

    He WAS thrown out. Whether he is complaining about someone else or not, it doesnt make any difference.

    He WAS thrown out - someone in a similar position wasn't. Someone who was in the same party as the complainant even.

    I would think in that situation an unbiased person would acknowledge that sometimes people weren't thrown out and wonder why?

    I would think someone who supports punishment would wonder why as well.

    However, I would expect a partisan voter to ignore the more unpalatable truth that actually sometimes people are not punished for breaking the rules. Further I would expect them to spin the story to show that the tories clamp down on this kind of thing whereas labour don't. In fact all that seems to be shown is that in some instances the tories clamp down and in some they don't.

    I would put this forward as evidence that someone is 'backing up' one party compared to another. In short that they expect different standards of behaviour, they may spend an awful lot of time justifying it but in the end the standards for their party is lower than the standard expected from the other party.

    I know this quote isn't aimed at me and I cannot speak for cleanmycleats but I do other things on the my laptop (and even dare I admit it, away from the laptop) and this site logs me out if I'm not active after about 2 mins. If I come back, I only log in if I want to make a point - this could be another explanation for dodgy christmas tree lights :)
