I thought it was brave, foolhardy and amusing so definitely acceptable. Ok....As I say, I will be checking in when Corbyn's speech get wrecked next year....and considering your response to this one I shall adopt the same attitude. If this is going to be the new playing field I shall heartily embrace it.

Bring it on!

Thanks Stu but no defence of me necessary - it reflects what I said on another thread about the deterioration of debate quality on here "spend 5 minutes talking to someone....nope, clearly can't hold a mature debate, therefore I'm out" I said much the same in the Mark Sampson thread. I wasn't trying to defend you, you're one of the far more rational posters (long term or recent), which is shown here as you still didn't bite back. It's more that I think these things do need to be called out where they're just unnecessary. The moderators should be doing it, but they aren't and haven't for a long time now. Not that they should have to, but it seems that people have no self-control. Some posters or subjects you just think I won't even bother, as you know exactly where it will go.
Optimistic as ever |

Biting back is, in my view, counter-productive, as it just derails the whole thread (as we've seen on many recently, just turning into a ding-dong). I'm happy to be the bigger man and not rise to it if it means the thread stays on track. Never mind

I hate it when neo-progressives tell me what is and what is not acceptable. I thought it was brave, foolhardy and amusing so definitely acceptable. Clearly the whole thing was a false flag conspiracy to discredit left wing 'comedians', so by association, the comedy trio Corbyn/McDonnell/Abbott.

In such a fashion? In a shirt and tie, holding a piece of paper? What about all those reporters with their microphones? One day it could be disguised as a weapon. What about canvassing during elections? Are you saying there are no metal detectors at the conference? Most of them are press accredited....you know passes they have had to apply for.

So in your world this is all going to plan and there is no infighting in the Tory party and the conference and TM's speech yesterday were both a roaring success and the public at large thinks she's doing a cracking job and Boris talking about clearing away dead bodies so we can build some offices and put some deck chairs down is all a good lark, a bit like popping your knob in a deceased animal's head. All spiffing. Just a bloody good caper, let the lion roar, pop over to Europe, bash Johnny Foreigner, take back control (and £350m a week) and be home in time for tea and crumpets. Huzzah! But like the "choir" singing about Johnson's head on a spike,or from a couple of years ago those cuddly lot from momentum selling mugs and joking about soldiers who have suffered horrific injuries.

And the ding-dongs now are done with a level of spite and vitriol that is baffling.

Sure. But he was checked on the way in for weapons. What do you suggest to stop that kind of thing happening? Tie everyone to their seats? Hammond approached her and gave her a cough sweet. Could have been laced with cyanide. You can kill someone just as quick with bare hands.

You are now being deliberately obtuse. No one can legitimately interrupt the PMs speech for a prank in those circumstances. You know it, I know it. Conversation over.
