Truss (general uk sucks thread)
- Edited
IMO, you don’t get to put the boot into Person A repeatedly for months to your half a million followers (when lets not forget, the accusations turned out to be baseless in the end) and then moan when Person B gets in and turns out to be a catastro-fuck. YMMV
Wally I dunno. If Corbyn and his inner circle hadn’t led such a shambolic election campaign, then perhaps the Tory’s wouldn’t of had such a massive majority enabling them to get away with this kind of shit.
mono-stereo What’s that got to do with David Schneider being a hypocrite though? I’m not saying he’s the reason they lost - plenty of unrelated reasons for that - I’m saying you don’t get to moan your arse off about A and then whinge when you get B. A period of quiet self reflection (a.k.a just shutting the fuck up) would be much better for David Schneider et al.
Wally As someone already point out, the two things aren’t mutually exclusive, you can think old grandad Crobyns was a disaster and also call the Tories out as scum. I don’t see anything wrong with that.
Agree with Mono. Especially pertinent if, like me, you are a remain centrist.
mono-stereo I think if you have half a million twitter followers things become a bit blurrier tbh. Half a million people is a significant reach and influence.
I also think there’s a difference between thinking someone did a shit campaign and branding someone an antisemite and a danger to jews which Schneider definitely did.

Did he? I can’t find any reference to him saying this?
mono-stereo Search his twitter for the year up to the GE.
Wally I did, and I can’t find him saying that.
mono-stereo Dunno, I remember him saying it. I know he got a lot of push back from people on his posts calling him a hypocrite so maybe he deleted them? <shrug>
