Opposing one-sided politically biased lefties, isn't being partisan?

It's as petty as this:

Only they manage to do it without the personal comments and insults BB obvious thinks he and his mighty intellect needs to resort to.

Mighty intellect arguing with you? You certainly flatter yourself, don't you!

I can't help but wonder about the mental health of someone who wades into every topic but always says they don't have an opinion to share.

That’s the way, Glyn - it must be the other person’s mental health that is the problem. It came a bit earlier than usual, but it came nonetheless.

Back on topic, your opinion? You have n’t given it yet, I know you say you have, but you haven’t and you know you haven’t

I can't help but suspect you were one of those types who hung on to the shirttails of the playground bullies in your school days and always got a thrill out of having a sly kick when the victim lay on the floor at the end.

Go on, you were, weren't you? I'm right, aren't I?

I think it was Margaret Thatcher who said, you know you've won the argument when they have to resort to personal insults...

Cheers RD. Common sense at last! Questioning someones mental health is quite insulting and personal!

Sorry BB,

I thought that was aimed in my direction. I take that back.

I’ve seen it, there’s no opinion there, just evasiveness and deflection

No probs, RD. Don't you ever worry, even slightly over some of the people who share your views, though?

If I based my opinion on a picture and trolled the internet for anti-government stories based on the said picture, I'd be as bad as you, and therefore certainly not in a position to make an unbiased judgement.

That's why my opinion at the moment is If Hancock has broken the law then he should face the consequences but it's not up to me to say what those consequences should be.

Bullshit, as usual, evading the answer as usual, you just attempt to wear the person you are against down, every thread involving you goes this way, rather than you answer a question

[River Don]

BB

I don't think I'll involve myself in the ongoing interactions between yourself and Glyn.

On this topic, would you not agree with Mr Hancocks assesment of what the consequences of this offence should be?

[Bentley Bullet]

What do you want me to say, Filo? Do you want me to say they should hang Hancock immediately and remove the government from office, and replace them with the mightily popular and squeaky clean Labour party?

[Bentley Bullet]

BB

If all that is true, yes. Like I've said twice previously if Hancock has broken the law he should face the consequences.

We got there in the end.

You agree, he should be sacked and fined then.

If ever there was a man hoist by his own petard, it's Matt Hancock now.

[BillyStubbsTears]

BB
But breaking the law is only one aspect of what he's done.

1) He himself has admitted that he broke the social distancing guidelines.

2) He himself said when a member of SAGE did EXACTLY the same thing, that it was a resignation issue.

In light of that, what do YOU think? Regardless of who replaces him or gains politically. Should he resign?

If I was playing this for political advantage for Labour, I'd say keep him in post. He is the gift that keeps on giving.

But it's not about political advantage, despite your worrying obsession. It's about having a Health Secretary that the country can trust when he or she looks you in the eye and tells you why the guidelines are vital. 

[mushRTID]

Resigned

[Bentley Bullet]

Like I've said all along RD, if he has broken the law then he should face the consequences, and I'll go along with whatever those consequences are. If he is to be sacked and fined for being a hypocrite so be it, although I'm sure there are plenty of hypocrites in politics who have escaped being sacked.

Not for being a hypocrite, for breaking the law.

Not Really, the “matter was closed”  why has the PM accepted his resignation if it was closed?

RD, he's admitted to breaking the social distancing law which is normally a £200 fine, or £100 if paid within 14 days. I suggest he had to resign on the basis he was a hypocrite.

You knew that before he resigned, but didn’t give your opinion until after he resigned

I didn’t think so.

[BillyStubbsTears]

Belton.
You are quite at liberty to:
1) Ignore this discussion.
2) Contribute substantively to this discussion.
3) Do neither of the above but snipe at people who choose 2.

Anyone taking bets?

Yes, you are right, he's said he resigned because those who make the rules should abide by the rules, so he has to go.

[BillyStubbsTears]

Oh I missed 3a. Snipe at CERTAIN people but not say a word when a poster without provocation tells another one to "f**k off".

That is so obvious, it defies belief that anyone could have thought a gritted teeth apology yesterday was enough to close the matter.

[River Don]

So why was he not just sacked when he failed to resign?

[Glyn_Wigley]

So why was he not just sacked when he failed to resign?

Because then people would have pointed out that the PM was calling the kettle black.
