I watched the RLB thing develop on Twitter in real time.

 

Absolutely ridiculous of course, totally unreasonable sacking, but there you go, what’s sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander.

Or, in current speak, what’s good for the welder is good for the gobshite!
 

It has been amusing listening to all the commentary and sanctimonious justifications for the lad from Burnley infamy getting the sack in the AM, followed by a round of outraged cries of injustice and grandstanding By the same / similar cohort in the PM when the tables turned. 
 

Apart from 1 being aerial and the other being digital, there’s not much between the examples. 
 

As for mitigating factors, one was a young private individual expressing a view, the other was a member of the shadow cabinet, an erstwhile potential leader of HM’s opposition - potentially, (nah, never happen) PM - redistributing unfounded allegations of nation state liability for the murder of a foreign national. 
 

One loses their job and likely faces a very uncertain future, the other gets a sideways move. 
 

Is it any wonder politicians are getting such a bad press. 
 

(OK, for balance, Jenrick appears to be on a dodgy wicket too but I haven’t seen his 1 hr explanation from yesterday yet so I’ll keep the powder dry on that one for the time being)

 

Plus state of emergency on the South coast and riots in Brixton last night - Brexit seems such a dull and distant subject now)

Yeah well the bloody world has gone mad, maybe it always was.

 

Head down, get your victories where you can, you’re free to say what you like, but there’s a difference between spending 10 years in a gulag, or a bullet in your head and losing your job/friends.
