Again though I should say, personally I think it might have been a bit heavy handed in the Mogg thread. But I CAN see why they were deleted as they were basically just 'well you like Corbyn so ner ner ner ner ner' type posts from what I saw. I do think in threads about current politics, obviously Corbyn can be relevant. But it really adds nothing to the discussion at all to be just answering a thread about someones voting record with 'Corbyn is bad' or whatever

I am not going to comment publically on what dezzy does or does not do. Thats totally up to him to explain.

I can't remember word for word as it's been removed. I think it began when I pointed out that if the thread had been about Corbyn and the same words thrown about there would have been a riot. I thought it was a relevant point since there a lot of posts calling Reese Mogg names like scum and rancid. I'm still unsure how that is ner ner ner. It's a fair point on the use of language and personally I don't think it's necessary to call anyone scum etc. I mean I don't like Diane Abbott and I've called her a hypocrite because she sends her son to private school while promoting state schools for everyone else. But I don't think that is the same as calling her scum etc.

I am not a Tory supporter but I often find myself defending the right due to the sheer level of nastiness aimed that way here. It would be different if it was a relevant point but it's just name calling usually.
