If you're gonna refer to me at least have the minerals to do so by name.

I actually referred to an exchange we'd had where I'd asked what policies you wanted from Labour.

At which point you went AWOL.

However as witnessed elsewhere you seem far more willing to focus on crimes committed by folk with foreign names.

As you say, extremely telling. And perhaps "we" might guess why that's the case...

Define irony: the catalogue of racists and misogynists who've spent decades targeting Dianne Abbott simply because she's a black woman...

..now wringing their hands over how she's been treated.

Labour have shot themselves in the foot with this. Massively. But those suddenly championing her are exactly the same ones who'd be screaming accusations of tolerating anti Semitism had she been given a green light...

Genuinely surprised by this reply.

As one of the more rational contributors I hoped you'd acknowledge the difference between opinion accompanied observations and whataboutery laden responses.

And who's desperately hiding behind 'Labour have no plan' diversion whenever called to account for the last fourteen years.

But as agreed let's not be party to yet another topic going down the gurgler...

Not sure what point you're trying to make, here.

That I'm a Labour supporter? That I highlight fourteen years of tory failings? Perhaps celebrate their implosion as a party?

Hardly an eyebrow raising revelation. Though I continue to be flattered that so many contributors quote my pseudonym so often.

The 'Labour have no policies' thing's getting yawningly dull, too. Every rational observer acknowledges the nation's broke, just as every rational observer acknowledges whatever Labour pledge will be minutely dissected in a way the tory's never are. Hell, it's happening on this very thread as we e-speak. And of course SKS is no Blair. In the same way he's no Johnson, either.

But maybe the country needs boring. Maybe it needs bland. Maybe it needs rational and responsible.

Bottom line is this topic's become as predictable as every other. Whataboutery, evasion, hypocrisy, prejudice and personal point scoring. And y'know what? Not a single mind will be changed, either.

I just hope everyone has the basic honesty to admit who they voted for come July fifth and offer an intelligent insight into why they did...

Blimey - you're tying yourself in so many knots you'll garotte yourself on your own intestines, here.

The bloke who celebrated hundreds of thousands of white, quasi Christians from "similar economies" being sent home now welcomes folk from all over the world.

Then on one hand you want Muslims, but on the other you don't.

Then on one hand you want men, but on the other you don't.

Then on one hand you want those from "war torn" countries, but on the other you don't.

Then on one hand you want people arriving by boat, but on the other you don't.

And worst of all you have no way of differentiating between them because you want them immediately trafficked to Rwanda.

Looks to me as if you need several alphabets worth of initials to sum all that up. Or on the other hand one simple word ending in 'phobia'...
