I think Bob spent so much time in one thread, day in day out for years, that now he has spread his wings he hasn't grasped how a forum actually works.
He seems to think that but whatabout the Tories on repeat is somewhat enlightening to other posters. Obviously most are capable of saying the Tories are utter shite because well they are but commenting on other politicians is also allowed.
Its probably why there are multiple threads in the politics subforum. He will probably get there eventually no one but an idiot thinks that only the worst behaviour should have consequences.
