Lucky for your sensitive soul, no one has done that to you this morning.
Until that post from yourself? Playing the man not the ball (again) given that my comment was clearly a general one.Sensitive soul ho ho. The reality is, I'm as far from being an approval seeker as it gets, unlike certain preachy left-illiberal type 'guys' playing to the gallery as default mode with juvenile comments including smears, name calling, personal angles - you know the score ^
Looking at this objectively, the capacity to appreciate and cope well with alternative viewpoints typically develops during the stage of cognitive development known as the formal operational stage (see Jean Piaget) which usually starts around the age of 11 or 12, With the PH age limit sensibly set at 13, there ought to be very little inability to cope on PH. This evidence suggests, supporting the bleedin' obvious conclusion, that it's a deliberate tactic to (try to) stifle debate i.e. delusional.

Name calling is common too, from certain 'guys' who can't cope with alternative viewpoints. All too common.
Name calling? Anyway, you do liven the place up Turbs but if you think anyone is struggling to cope you need to think again. I don't imagine you would try to defend the latest betting wheeze from our current government, but you're not falling over yourself to voice your disapproval either, preferring instead to deflect, along with a few others.

Compared to the pinnacle of good governance, probity and adherence to the goals of public service that we have had for the last few years? What would you say was their outstanding legacy of over half a generation of power?

Aaaw bless. Can't take anyone challenging "alternative" viewpoints, so cry victim while simultaneously calling people juvenile preachy lefties. Insert another obscure reference to try sound smart.
Rinse and repeat.
The Piaget reference is par for the course, so funny and utterly typical. Cognitive development, the irony. Rinse and repeat.

I think Rishi could shore up the Tory vote if he does several things.
1. Suspend those candidates who were betting on the dates
2. Give Grant Shapps a central role in the campaign. He is much admired by many people and posseses that certain something that voters like.
3. Call Nigel Farage lot's of unpleasant names, remind people of all the money he was paid when he was a Euro MP
I would think someone like Penny Mordaunt would be better then Grant Shaps, she can communicate a lot better in my opinion.1. Suspend those candidates who were betting on the dates

He may well recognise that these candidates have some merit and instead of being criticised shoud be applauded for using infornation that they had to better themselves and their families. He may feel that they are far away from just being chancers who are pushing politics into the gutter. He may feel they have shown some entrepreneurial spirit.
On the other hand he may just be concerned that lot's of others have been at it and that it's all gettiong too much

To be fair, Grant Shapps has always been pretty flexible when it comes to names. Which is an admirable quality and shows an ability to adapt to the circumstances, unlike Penny Mordaunt’s hair which is definitely not for turning.
Very good points. Grant is indeed a master of the names. I do wonder if the bosses at these bookies have checkled to see if Michael Green and Sebastian Fox have placed bets
