Bin The Politician
Along with estate agents and the man who wrote 'The Cheeky Song', politicians are generally held in contempt by the ordinary person in the street.
However, as much as we dislike them, don't you think that the actions of this crowd is genuinely disturbing?

/// I would respectully refer you to my response - comparisons are inappropriate here I believe. ///
Since I have already stated that this behaviour was unacceptable by our standards, that does not exclude me from making comparisons in my defence to other's views, that is what debating is all about.

I would suggest that ichkeria' response is much more on the ball. That's a comparison that makes sense in this context.
Yours was...a little 'off topic'.
Not saying that you don't have every right to saddle up your hobby horse. But sometimes I feel that you should let it canter around the outer fields and maybe munch on some oats, rather than saddling it up eve...
Okay, I've done than analogy to death, haven't I?

/// Don't be so insulting, ///
Perhaps you should consider this when you yourself are insulting.
/// are you implying that Nurses ( which I am not) are incapable of clear thought? ///
Where on earth do you get that from I was merely making reference to your Avatar image.
/// I have answered what I think of this act - it is wrong and indefensible. ///
Of that we can at least agree on.
/// If the premise was comparison to other incidents that should have been made clear. ///
This was just in response to the over the top comments made by others, so as to try and put some perspective on the subject, this is what happens in the to and fro exchanges in debate.
I notice that Sqad was not so criticised when he rightly brought the 'Cat in the Bin' comparison into the debate.

/// "Then perhaps you should remove your nurses cap, and put on a thinking cap?" ///
/// A pot / kettle interface perhaps? ///
That was in no way as insulting as calling someone Islamophobic.
And if insults are thrown at you then one has every right to respond in the same language.
But then you should know that as well as anyone else.

Good point,I did not comment on Sqad's video of the Cat which whilst truly disgusting was also irrelevant. Shame on me.
I will be honest here - my hackles rose on this topic when AOG tried to pass it off as no worse than a Stag do or Student prank.
I shall leave the debate in more erudite hands now.

/// I have to say, it *is* odd that you criticise some for drawing comparisons in threads you raise when you do exactly the same in other threads. ///
It is not I who is criticising others for making comparisons, it is them who are criticising me.
/// I would disagree that your obsession with anything non-white is 'boring'. I myself find it both charming and idiosyncratic. ///
And is it not boring to bring colour into the argument just as you have crafty done so?
And isn't also boring to others for you to regularly post on gay issues or others to post on left-wing political issues?
If you look at past threads you will notice that Gay issues, Islamic issues, and Immigration issues, attract the most posts, so doesn't that prove something?

please - Russian - bin - good idea or not ?
Has anyone drawn a comparision with the manhandling of No politicians north of the border ?
I still think splashing a binned politician with water/lighter fluid is akin to showing him a noose and pointing to a street light ( a la lanterne ! etc )
I can understand - the Urkrainians believe the Russians have brought his doom on them...Putin's view is that fomenting low grade civil war will prevent further movement of Ukraine to the west.
Bad news - really bad news for the Ukrainians if that is the case

/// Come on AOG - you are well above this tit-for-tat posting. ///
/// Let's move on shall we? ///
I would only be too pleased to do so, that is of course if others do the same, and I am afraid that includes you also Andy, who are not immune from having the occasional unnecessary dig at me.
