The Labour Party

[hilts]

For "full protect my side mode" read "knowing something about electoral law".

So Vic the labour canvasser(Corbyn is the man we need a true socialist Starmer is the man we need a Tory wet, that chimpanzee with the Labour rosette is definitely the one,) has managed to to work out this case all on his own and come down on which side?
Any guesses anyone?

And as we all know you act in exactly the same way with every politician thats accused of something on here. Pmsl.

Sorry Vic you can't sell your shit to everyone.

Go on clever clogs give us the laws or sentencing guidlines that specify the words real corruption and not really worth bothering with corruption.

Pillock:-)

I’m in two minds. A part of me is disinclined to engage in this bad faith tedious twattery. On the other hand, the sun is shining and I’m in a good mood.

Several points spring to mind.

Firstly, I didn’t use the word ‘real’, that is your phrasing. Secondly, crimes have degrees and penalties can, and do, differ. Circumstances in which the crime is committed can also impact judgement.

Putting down a convenience address for electoral purposes - a practice that is hardly unknown and one used by former PM John Major amongst others - is different to ministers helping their mates in defrauding the tax payer. The first crime has a one year cut off for the offence to be prosecuted, the second does not. This then, is an example of the law treating instances of corruption differently.

But both are corruption and like Vic your sudden easy going nature on corruption seems to be somewhat side dependant.

Go figure

BTW Vic said real corruption and i replied to him, you jumped in me old mucker.

If she's done something wrong then yep she should defo get done like the rest of us should expect to.

You can also have a debate about whether being found guilty of something like this makes someone unfit for office (hasn't she said herself she'd fall on her sword if found to have been up to no good?).

However, anyone comparing it to the large scale plundering and pillaging of the pirates who have been riding the UK for the last few years is either acting in complete bad faith or needs their heads testing. As false equivalences go it's more than taking the piss.

No, it’s offence dependent. If this was done by a Tory MP I wouldn’t give a shit either. And I say that as someone who has grown to despise the Tories and conservatives. And their supporters. In fact anyone over sixty is now suspect in my eyes. Over fifty and you get a tiny bit of leeway.

Awwww please give me a bit of leeway as well @BobKowalski I am incensed at what the present government has been doing (I didn’t vote for them) and do not support the toerag tories in any shape or form.
Plus of my over 60 yr old friends only one isn’t voting Labour and she’s voting Green because she doesn’t approve of the Labour Party nominee in her constituency.
So don’t cast us all aside please, pretty please. :-)

Case? There is no case.

I doubt there's even an "investigation". GMP said they were looking at "whether any offences have been committed".

Abuse is not an alternative to knowing something.

I'm surprised that you support this waste of police time.

Not sure anyone has, the only question is what standards do we hold our politicians to?, some seem to change to suit their team. As an opposition politician you cant really talk about corruption and taking money from fiddling the public then go and do it yourself.

That's my view anyhow but some seem to suddenly accept that politicians should be supported because you know it's only a little bit of corruption or whatever crime it is.

It's like they are saying it's OK for one of their own to maybe break the law, it's different :)

They did appear remarkably relaxed about a potential case of tax evasion by a senior politician.

Particularly so given that the case involves the triple witching of a sale of a council house, a Thatcher-era policy and capital gains tax. All issues which usually lead to no end of hysterical, sanctimonious posts from the self-styled social justice warriors.

I haven't supported anything you daft donk that's the whole point. Anyhow plenty cannot see their own lack of balance and bias no reason why you should.
