Well... I've not said I think it's unacceptable to take the picture.

I'm pointing out the irony of them pointing at Abbott "Ooh look at you breaking a rule! Naughty!" Whilst breaking one themselves.

Anything beyond that you've invented.

She is the Shadow Home Secretary.

So?

That means those who aren't are above the rules? They're incapable of being hypocrites?

Whether she's Shadow Home Secretary or a Fairy Godmother it doesn't change it.

In the grand scheme of things both rulebreaks are incredibly petty to be devoting so much space of our national newspapers to it really. But then we don't expect anything other than embarrassing drivel from the Sun anyway.

You don't see the difference between the shadow Home Secretary drinking booze on the a train when it's against the law... and some random taking her pic?

I should say I kind of understand your claims of hypocrisy, but I really don't understand your defence of Diane Abbott.

I haven't defended Diane Abbott?

You're making that up.

The rules about images are as much the law as the rules about alcohol. So you're not only picking and choosing the people the rules apply to, but now the rules themselves.

Oh shut it, Marshy... or I'll come over there....

:smug:

I remember about a month and a bit ago I posted about beggers on the train; I was advised that was illigal so I challenged the next one I saw.

Looked a bit like that fat slob to be fair.

welcome back Parmy :clap1:
