What future and what dreams await many of these young people? Minimum wage jobs in a variety of shitty retail placements or zero-hour contracts with the most egregious slave drivers and **** all chance of ever owning a house? Capitalism is a zero-sum game. Not everyone can escape the crab bucket simply by putting in more effort. What an out-of-touch spoiled prick.

I P Knightley Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 20 hours ago, JudyJudyJudy said: All very dodgey behaviours and as bad as advocating someone “ should have be throttled at birth “ “ every saint has a past and every sinner has a future” I'm not sure what point you're trying to make but it looks like one of forgiveness and letting sleeping dogs lie, with a soupcon of whataboutery thrown in. As with yer man who sent the pictures of his junk to a stranger, this isn't about the specifics of how he gets his rocks off - each to his own and all that. The trouble is that we've got a prurient tabloid media who enjoy the titillation of stories involving homosexual activity as if we were still in the 1970s and It Ain't Half Hot Mum was still acceptable viewing. However, there are standards we can expect of our MPs, let's call them integrity, professionalism and accountability. Menzies made yet another bad choice and demonstrated a chronic lack of any of the three. I'd never donate to a political party but if I did, I think I'd expect my donations to be put towards campaigns to have 'my' candidate elected, not towards his medical bills nor towards paying a ransom to get him out of a sticky situation into which he'd put himself. Furthermore, I would be raging if the party to which I'd donated was fully aware of this and sat on the story for three months hoping that it wouldn't see the light of day. So, yes, Menzies may have a future but not as a politician. And it's bigger than just him; the party will need to go some to convince me that they've handled any of this with Sunak's integrity, professionalism or accountability.

At what point in any of an elites life will they need to see a General Practice Doctor on the NHS or rely on them for something? They will most likely all have private health plans and/or their own private physicians on stand bye. All this howling at the moon is for the last bastions of the party.
