You can see Mandown Pilts point though, Johnson has been equally erm ****** as both a journalist and politician. Others can fill in the blanks.

There's nothing new about politicians being approached to get something someone needs

That’s ok then  Confused

Did I say that - your response not mine - how about neither are ok - ah but then you would have to criticise the labour party as well and you seem to be, shall we say, a little less forthcoming in doing that. Some might think you are one eyed, obsessed and prejudiced, but I couldn't possibly comment.

Have the Labour Party been in power for the last decade and counting?

“I reckon there were some right dodgy deals going on when the Whigs were in power but did you mention them? No you didn’t did you!. It’s typical of the double standards you people have”

Ah so somebody has to be in power before you can criticise them - ok I know the rules now - discrimination, prejudice and obsession is ok as long as it's your discrimination, prejudice and obsession

I never said they did. I suggested that the limited experience of most Guardian writers is behind non-issues like one raised in the post I commented on.

Does this help you any more?

Not really, no.

You can't see the link between life experience, wisdom and their reflection in any writing a person may do?

The logic of your argument seems to be, if a political story breaks with regards to one party then it should only be discussed if those linking to the story offer a similar story from an opposing party now or historically.

The story has been reported in / on many of the MSM outlets today. None that I am aware of have have linked to the historic stories you have in the interests of I assume balance. I do hope you shall be boycotting reading the Times, Guardian, Sky and BBC etc for such flagrant prejudice, discrimination and obsession.

Well done mate.

Nothing to be particularly proud of, I'd imagine it's a line of reasoning that most people could follow. I'll do it semi-diagrammatically, see if it helps:

Life experience = wisdom = better-informed writing

Anything...?

In answer to the orginal question, no - it's not OK at all.

No-one would ever suggest otherwise, the OP's building strawmen.
