He served his time and has moved on and up with his life. Get a grip and stop wading in muddy culture war puddles 24/7

A bloke beating up his girlfriends is not "culture war stuff" but the fact that you pop it in the same bubble is extremely telling.

If some handsy ******* beat up one of your daughters, did a year and a half in Glenochil and then landed himself a 75k salary as a representative of the public, would you be clapping?

He pushed someone like 20 years ago

stop ranting and leave my family out of it

A convicted woman beater alongside a handful of racists definitely perfectly represents Reform actually

Never judge the man, judge his actions.

Hes done his time and done the crime. No excuses, and he will have to live with it. I'm assuming after all these years the girlfriend has moved on and is bow with a better man, and over the memory.

yes, but don't you think all candidates should be transparent about their past and let the voters decide if it's something that is important to them or not

Oh he only liked smacking his girlfriends around in the past. An outspoken voice against domestic violence now is he? I mean I could respect that, if it was the case, which I doubt, as he's grown up and become a Reform MP.

Thank you for confirming that the "forgive and forget" LARP only apples because you don't actually have to think about or personally know the people in his past. Reassuring to know that your political trolling does have SOME limits, at least.

When he got drunk

If they have a conviction for a violent crime (of any kind) they shouldn't be able to stand as a candidate. At all, full stop, without exception.

You don't say! Well, that's the first I've heard of alcohol making violent men start throwing hands at their partners. The twists and turns in this story!

Next you'll be telling me he's not violent any more "because he doesn't drink any more" :joker:. 'twas the demon in the bottle, I tells ya, not his own actions :fist:.

Yes, 100 percent.

And an action we can now judge him on.:blush:

Not according to LT he says to leave the wee fella alone, he only wanted to shove his girlfriend about a bit when he was a young'un, he's an upstanding Reform MP now.

People now excusing domestic abuse. Some people just aren’t worth the air they breathe.

These people excusing domestic abuse are the same people who are making such a noise about women’s rights :joker:

Oh no..no more classics like cock pushups, or **** her gently, sang in a clown outfit..

What's the world going to do!!

I nearly totalled the car today when someone rang in to Ben Kentish to say his experience in jail will make him a better MP cause he has experience of how they are run from the inside


He spent a WEEK in young offenders 20 years ago :joker:

Why not have a few rapist MPs or some shop lifters or fraudsters to give us that lived experience...oh maybe we have had a few of those already :think:

No cherie..a toolmakers son as PM is all we need for them all to resonate with the public.

17 yr old kid commits assault and does his time...still a bad man 25 years later.

17 yr old kid commits assault on farage, it's funny.

That's SB to a T.

The reform party paid an outside agency to select and vet their candidates. That agency didn't do their job. That's why some of the candidates ended up being problematic. That's the reality of what happened. Ultimately, Farage has to take responsibility for the quality of candidates selected because it's his party, he actually owns it.

The outside company that was paid doesn’t do the vetting, they supply the network for companies to do the vetting themselves, which they make very clear on their website, Farage is a loser that in reality has no idea what he’s doing, it blames everyone but himself for his own failures and if anybody really thinks that he’s unhappy with the swarms of racists and thugs they chose to let stand, I’ve got a lovely chocolate teapot to sell you

"Throwing a milkshake at a stranger is the same as being physically violent towards your girlfriend"

I guess that's Parmy to a T? :think: very weird comparison, telling on yourself an awful lot these days Parmy. Angry angry little man.

Anyway - I didn't say that someone who made a mistake 25 years ago couldn't change and be a better man. He certainly could regret his actions, and I'd accept that if there was any sign of that. However, 25 years later he has become an MP for the Gammon, Beer and Misogyny party so I'm fairly confident that he has not changed one bit.
