If I read the New Testament I think it's about a guy called Jesus.

Russell Brand thinks he is Jesus.

He certainly does have a Messiah complex, and it's weird seeing it literally manifest itself these days.

She really spent with conviction down at the Carphone Warehouse!

She really spent with conviction down at the Carphone Warehouse!

You have to admit it's a bit odd though.

Bad things:
A woman pretends she has had her phone stolen, gets found out, pleads guilty and is given a conditional discharge and later becomes an MP, declares this information but is forced to resign.

Good things:
A man promises to give his friend a journalists address so that the journalist can be physically attacked, lies to his boss after inventing a quote and is sacked, makes up myths about Europe, has an affair whilst his wife has cancer, writes bigoted newspaper columns referring to Africans as piccaninnies with watermelon smile, and gay men as tank-topped bum boys. This information is public knowledge but he is given the post of Prime Minister anyway.

Really, Starmer needs to grow a pair and just tell the Tories to piss off.

What a very sad approach. You seem to be encouraging a race to the gutter.

Starmer did the right thing ( eventually). He should be given credit for this, not told he is weak because another party did not behave in the right way in the past

It is the right thing whether other political parties do or did differently.
We should be comparing behaviours and judging actions based on the best behaviour, not comparing it to the worst behaviour.

We don't say someone who stabbed someone repeatedly is ok because at least they didn't kill anyone Both actions are wrong

Yes, it's better to aim high.

But where do you draw the line for members of government?

Are motoring offences acceptable? What about legal examples of clear immorality?
What about long-expired minor offences? (say shoplifting at age 18, by a politician now aged 58?)

Should a convicted criminal - time served - always be henceforth limited in their career options? Is forgiveness/redemption ever OK in UK society?

One of Farage’s MPs is a convicted wife beater who spent time in prison. Yet still sits as an MP.
Farage doesn’t give a shoot.
Imagine if that was a Labour MP. the Daily Mail and Tory party would be running a continuous campaign, but they are silent about it.

Eh?

Double eh?

We should be comparing behaviours and judging actions based on the best behaviour, not comparing it to the worst behaviour.

So what exactly is the awful behaviour here? Someone who commits an offence, pleads guilty and is given a conditional discharge and then declares it to her employer in advance of being given a promotion might just expect her employer to have the balls to stand by the decision they made. She has done nothing wrong, her conviction is spent.

We don't say someone who stabbed someone repeatedly is ok because at least they didn't kill anyone Both actions are wrong

But we do normally expect that if that person has served their sentence and told their employer up front that they have a previous conviction, they might be allowed to do the job that the employer has employed them to do, knowing of the previous conviction.

Whoosh
You continue to put petty party politics ahead of the good of the nation

Here we have a fundamental ignorance of the reality.
She is not employed by the Labour party. She may have told Kier Starmer, but she did not tell those who are her employers ie the population of the country.


She is employed by the electorate and paid from our taxes, she is not paid by the Labour Party

Nope. I don't see a problem with the appointment.

I don't believe it is a requirement. It is Starmer that appoints his cabinet.
