Witch hunt?

You’ve already commented on that, surely you haven’t forgotten already?

lol so I was right in what I said – you really need to keep on track with your aspersions rather than trying to score points on every single post you make because you backtrack far too often

If you’d like to read and comment on the article, the opening post or any other of the points made in this thread then we have the makings of an interesting debate. If, however, your sole intent is to play one-upmanship, well that just doesn’t interest me.

You dislike me, fine, but do everyone else a favour and either ignore me or try to keep to the topic of the thread. Most of us come here to chat, debate, banter, not compete.

nice rhetoric but what did your original post really say?

If I wrote a letter like that where there is a glaring grammatical error in the first sentence, and which showed my lack of vocabulary by repetition of words such as allegedly and understand, I wouldn’t put it in the public domain.

And he’s an MP?

so you disagree with what it says?

You really are dumb. :roll:

am I? why is that?

I agree with tinks on this.

Cameron was caught by surprise and made a good point in a dignified yet angry manner. The old canard that homosexuality and pedophilia were the same can still rear its ugly head. People have been pasting names of politicians and celebrities who are openly gay or not yet outed, and smearing them wiht pedophile claims.

It’s a nasty smear. Once someone is accused, it’s impossible to shake off the taint, no matter how unjustified.

The politican who was claimed to be at the heart of the Wrexham child abuse scandals was just assumed to be guilty. I assumed him to be guilty as well. The victim named him, after all.

Now we find out that he doesn’t seem to be guilty. It was a guy with the same surname.

That’s how witch hunts work. Look at a play called The Crucible, by Arthur Miller, or see the movie with Daniel Day Lewis. It’s about the Salem witch trials of 1692, but applies to any witch hunt.

Jake Arnott, the novelist, made the rigtht point about Cameron yesterday. Thirty years ago, no Tory politican would be seen dead defending gay marriage or gay rights.

That’s what a genuinely surprised Cameron was doing.

Schofield is digusting, and is rightly making his grovelling apologies.
