So either both are unacceptable and both deserve consequences, or neither does. Picking and choosing just makes the whole argument collapse.

There are "worse" people than politicians, certainly, but politicians have the ability to do more damage to society on the whole...

With all due respect you shouldn’t be reporting that when you’ve literally said ‘anyone who supports AND anyone at all who still supports these stinking bastards!’ are the worst people of 2025. It’s hypocritical of you.

Yeah go on, support your mate. He insulted me yet again. I reported it. As is my right. If mods think I'm out of order THEY can tell me. You aren't the one he Ci standby targets. I'm sick of it.

I’m not supporting anyone. I’m calling out you being a hypocrite. It’s ok for you to insult others but not the other way around.

Also to Arista while I'm here ... I believe Starmer did know. But let's say he didn't amd now he's on holiday?? So what? He's our Prime Minister and it's his resinsibly to deal with these things. Or delegate. People are furious over this guy. No it's all out in the open he should be deported straightaway. NOT because he's brown.

I don't follow Glenn round the forum looking to wind him up. Like he does to me. Fair enough, I should ignore him but I'm bloody SICK of it!

Calling it “extreme provocation” is an excuse. Lots of people feel provoked. Most do not call for people to be burned alive. You do not get to say racism is wrong and then downgrade it when it comes from someone you sympathise with. That is the double standard people keep pointing out. You can argue the sentence was too harsh. Fine. That is a separate debate. But pretending her words were somehow understandable because she was upset is still minimising what she actually said. Either racism and wishing death on groups is unacceptable full stop, or it is acceptable when the vibes feel right. You cannot have it both ways.

And btw there's no forum rules that say we can't say bad things about public figures. Just other members.

I reply to posts. On a forum. That is literally what it is for. I do not follow you anywhere. You just keep posting takes that invite pushback and then take it personally. If you were actually sick of it, you would have ignored me about ten replies ago. Instead you keep escalating, dragging mods in, asking for votes, and narrating your feelings to the room. Disagreement is not harassment. Someone not nodding along is not being wound up. This victim routine every time someone challenges you is getting old fast.

Your opening statement applies to forum members though…

Quote:
Now it is “extenuating circumstances”. Before it was provocation. Before that it was remorse. Every time the same behaviour gets a new label so you can defend one and condemn the other. Deleting a tweet after you post it does not magically undo what was said. Racism does not become less racist because someone panicked afterwards. And remorse is not something you get to declare into existence because it suits your argument. Plenty of people delete things when they realise there are consequences. That is not moral growth. That is self preservation. You are bending over backwards to split hairs because you want one person punished and the other cushioned. That is the double standard. That is what you keep refusing to own. You can argue about sentencing. You can argue about consistency in law. But stop pretending this is about principle when you keep moving the goalposts to protect one side.

On the matter. There are worse people than Starmer out there, which have already been mentioned.

Nope. I did it out of respect for what Ben said. It's called playing fair. It wasn't to wriggle out of anything but because I phrased it wrong and don't wish to insult fms. He wasn't rude to me. He just said his piece.
