You've got threads to slag off the Tories

Take a look at the thread title and have a think, my old fruit.

And please, commit to an answer, lest I draw the wrong conclusion.

You have my answer - make of it what you will.

OK, will do.

I would give the same answer regardless of the party in question. For clarity, no I don’t believe such people are suitable to legislate in areas of criminal or judicial policy.

I note, once again, that you haven’t answered my question at all. That is unfortunate, given that we appear to agree about the harm caused throughout the criminal supply chain. Go on, commit to a clear answer.

I would agree with you on that, and, go further to some other areas of rather unsavoury behaviour. But.... if we applied those standards to public life, would we be able to find enough people (of any party or political persuasion) to populate the House of Commons, or, The House of Lords (even more difficult, I would imagine).

Yes, I think so. Not that I'm volunteering but I've never been involved in the criminal drugs trade. Even if I had, a suitable period of genuine repentance would, in my view, not be a bar. Does anyone really believe that Gove is not still regularly off his tits given all the photographic evidence?

Which comes first, the desire to become an MP or wasting wads of cash on drugs?

Don't dispute what you say, it is the assumption that only one side is tainted, I have a problem with.

1. It is not "wads of cash", in the beginning, in many cases.

2. I don't think it is only MP's (of one or all parties) who are (present or past) users of illegal drugs, if it were, we would have won "the war on drugs", surely?

Who has made such an assumption? I mentioned Johnson and Gove because they are in power now.

OK OK, I accept, perhaps you didn't make that assumption, but, it is rather a theme on here that only "Tory scum" do anything wrong.

I don't accept your premise, but why would it be strange for the party in power to attract more attention than the opposition?

It would appear we are reading different forums.

Different eyes perhaps. How about the part you didn't embolden?

I wonder if some posters on here go on the same way in real life.

"Would sir like one of our sauces with the steak?"

"Don't talk to me about bloody sauces, that Margaret Thatcher was the worst excuse for a human being ever, and every member of the Conservative cabinet should have been drowned at birth."

"Shall I take that as 'no thank you'?"
