You couldn't make it up:

[TWR]

They are ALL in it together Zac.

[retrocop]

No surprise. How else would Jezza hope to win?

[douglas9401]

A good start would be selling votes at £3 each if recent history's anything to go by.

[jomifl]

Power to the (criminal) people!

[Zacs-Master]

I'm not sure of the point your making TheChair. Are you saying two wrongs make a right?

[Gromit]

That is terrible.
If I were momentum, I would give her a a crappy job doing facebook and twitter postings.

[ToraToraTora]

zacs I think what the chair is saying is that people in glass houses should not throw stones. They all rub shoulders with a crooks or are crooks themselves.

[Svejk]

I was thinking about this. Why, so it seems to me, is it always left wing people who are involved in electoral fraud.
I think perhaps the religious zealotry they exhibit. They are so sure they are right that, whatever it takes, they will force on us what's good for us. (in their eyes, of course)

[Zacs-Master]

That's one way of looking at it TTT.

[ToraToraTora]

see what I mean svejk? glass houses! being bent is one of the few things that politician across the political spectrum have in common.

[Zacs-Master]

So, because the Cons have criminal associations, it's ok for Labour to do likewise and it's not worthy of comment?

[ToraToraTora]

not at all, all I'm saying is that pointing it out just means the opposition will dig up an example from the other side. Demonstrated twice in this thread.

[agchristie]

No party was exempt from the famous expenses scandal!

[Zacs-Master]

Ah, right. So stating the bleedin obvious then. Nice one.

[ToraToraTora]

yes the approach taken by, in ths case, pro Labour, is predictable and yes the outcome is "bleedin obvious". I'm not saying that we cannot discuss "Corbyn's Crooked Campagners" but it is futile to attempt it when you know that the supporters of Labour et al will simply derail the discussion using the afore mentioned tactics. QED.

[Svejk]

The fact you had to 'drag up' a 30-year-old story, gromit, reinforces my, honestly held, view.
Every year we have, seemingly increasing, tales of Electoral Fraud and they are all connected to the left.

[Zacs-Master]

QED. The pretentious way of saying 'end of'. Mmm.

I thought some people,with joined up thinking might be able to see that this was yet another nail in jazz as coffin. Pointing out that the governing party has had such associations is a bit of a non sequitur (if we're using a dead language).

[ToraToraTora]

I do, I also predicted what the anti tories would do. Was I so wrong?
