Post more links up on here? But only if it paints the party we personally detest in a bad light. 

 

That should do it. 

It was a post about the PM and links to Russian money. There's only one party in power now so there is no relevance in equating him to former PM's of any party. Whataboutery is something you try and fail to grasp.

So what should we do about it?

I never mentioned anything about whataboutery. I was simply highlighting that there is corruption in all the main parties in the UK. You're a broken record when it comes to the Tories, its like you go out of your way to search out such links. Surely it would be better to post links about all the main Parties so when it comes to the National or even local elections we're in a better position to make an educated vote? Posting nothing but a constant barrage of Tory hate simply exposes your own prejudices no matter how you try and dress it up.

The article came from the front page of the Sunday Times website, it's quite relevant given the situation in Ukraine and not really a mission to find such links.
You constantly try to deflect from the failures of this PM by highlighting the other rotters that preceded him, I think most people agree that there is corruption in politics, humans are fallible after all. 
I think you have to be a mug to accept that the current PM is suitable to run this country.

He's not suitable, but who would make a good replacement? All the other contenders are just as bad, not that we'd ever know that by the constant Tory bashing. To make an informed choice regarding who to vote for next time surely some balanced bashing is in order?

Leave me to bash the Tories in peace.

Independence for us soon enough though, so that'll be alright. I quite like Sturgeon.

Never gonna happen and I’m not surprised in the slightest you like her. Her nasty politics suits you to the ground. She’ll never get independence though, not nearly enough people support her.
