Just to clarify, you’re saying that the suspended sentence recently handed down to Huw Edwards, which, as demonstrated above, was entirely in accordance with the current sentencing guidelines, was imposed at the whim of the current Labour government?

Or are you saying that they’ve been in power long enough to change said guidelines?

Good. Responding with a shit gif, always the hallmark of a well made point. I note you didn’t answer my question.

To be fair, it was fucking idiotic question.

You know what I’m saying. They have been in long enough. Done.

Ah yes…

Day One.

Gotcha.

Should we have people who pay for child porn brutally murdered? Yeah, you’re right, it is a stupid question.

It isn’t day one. It isn’t week one. It isn’t month one.

I don’t think any society should murder anyone.

Your opinion. Fine. Somebody rapes and murders somebody close to you? Suspect you change your opinion.

Maybe…but fortunately we have, on the whole, managed to build a society that protects the collective from the basest desires of the individual.

Change of pace needed…

Anyone wanna hear my theory on why we should return all the stolen shit in the British Museum?

I said after Boris, I couldn’t see why anyone would want to be prime minister or why any party would want to be in government.

The thing is we are in trouble. Much of the infrastructure of government, civil service etc is not fit for purpose - of a different age. Tribal politics will not fix it - whether left or right wing. It was also based on an economic model of the UK that is not longer there.

We need a national coalition and reimagining of who we are. Politics of envy or gesture will not do it. We also need to think beyond the next election in 4 years.

But none of that is why a lot of people are in politics. They want power, favor… a few really care.
