Lawfare.....not Warfare. But still nasty.....

Most British guys who died fighting in that war would be disgusted by what has been done to their country.

How many guys do, or did, you actually know who fought in WW2?

I only knew one. My dad.

He would indeed be disgusted, but not by the progressive politics since.

He would be disgusted by the sort of comments you and the far right cohort make.

It’s what he and his mates were fighting against.

Are you suggesting you know how I think better than I do?

I'm saying exactly what I did say.

Well theres the proof and the mask has slipped. A few days/ weeks ago you denied that talking about immigration being wrong was far right. Now hey presto it is far right! Fraud !

Whataboutism on fire!

That the system has been corrupted is no reason why any individual involved in it should be given a free pass. Especially if they seek high office.

Those who argue that those who seek that simply because Le Pen is leading in the polls means she should be given an exception have got things completely the wrong way around.

The opposite is true. They need to be held to the highest standards.

Rather like Starmer, Reeves and Rayner do you mean? Taking freebies as often as they can?

The first thing I thought of when I saw Marine Le Pen getting done was all those MEPs using their own family as staff. There's something like 100k staff allowance and it's all husbands/wives/children paid that to be a secretary. The first I knew of it was Glennis Kinnock. The whole EU parliament is a gravy train con.

I didn’t ask what you said! I asked what it inferred.

If they do, and it’s illegal, then yes.

You are getting very confused.

The comment was about “what has been done to their country”! Not about immigration.

It was a statement. There was no inference.

It might well look that way but the fact is that many family members do provide full time support, giving up well paid jobs to do so. So long as everything is properly scrutinised and legal there isn’t an issue, other than the perception it creates.

If there is illegality then bring it to Court and let due process begin. Which is what happened to Le Pen.

Untrue. It inferred an attitude which I dispute. It doesn’t stand alone.

They do, they have admitted it, 'Lord'Ali with glasses and suits for Two Tier Kier, Free concert tickets and clothes for Reeves and the despicable Rayner avoiding property taxes.....
