Labour Party politics

[Badger11]

Well, first off I'd want to know what's a skeleton doing in their cupboard....was it some S&M gone wrong? Or was it looking for food? Was the owner of said skeleton a consensual participant in becoming a skeleton in this cupboard?...Was there some weird sexual stuff?...We can't ask the skeleton obviously.....but we can check to see if it has a smile on its face.

I should have said this was back in the nineties so attitudes were slightly different. it was the height of the Sun tabloid journalsim.

That was the point of my story. As far as I am aware he was a single consenting adult and had done nothing wrong so The Sun was gutted that they had not found an excuse to print the story. The player has long retired and I haven't checked to see if he came out.

Anyway my point was that the media often hang onto to stories and release them when it suits them. I don't doubt that the Mail or the Sun has some juicy Burnham tales.

My attitudes are quite happy to exist in the 80s......I've looked at what the new attitudes produce...and it's not for me.

My back is bad enough as it is.

To be serious, it's certainly true that the media hang onto information.....almost like the security/information services do.

Like pretty much every profession, their first loyalty is to themselves.

Holding back information can benefit them in various ways....currying favour with the powerful or it could just be a court order (the reasoning behind the court order can be rotten as hell).
Just as releasing 'shock news' can make them a cheap buck.

Yup

I can imagine the Mail holding onto some Burnham scandal (let him get rid of Starmer first)

I suspect we'll find that some of his ancestors were quite deeply into devil worship and the dark arts. May still be today. Who knows?
What's the first thing the mob shouts when they find a witch? Burnham.

Often these so called scandals are the minutiae of everyday life something like he once pulled Karen pigtail in class and she is suing for $45 million in America because they lead the world in gullibility. You can invent any dross you like.

You liked that about Farage.

I never pulled Farage's pigtails whatever the Daily Snail says.

A new slogan, Things can never get better under Labour !

PIERCE: The quasi-Marxist 'brains' behind Burnham's economic agenda

During the last election campaign, a rising star of the Labour Party - aiming to win the safe seat of Peckham in south London - posted a glowing testimonial from one Andy Burnham on her website.

I'm just surprised that the FA don't insist on gay quotas in every team.

Not what he's saying
