If anyone tries to put a political slant on anything I have said, then that says more about their mentality than it does about me.
But it's okay for you to put a political slant on something someone else has said?
Perhaps Comrade Corbyn pressed the red button. In which case it was probably not armed.
A topic about a delay to a train David Cameron was on. You shoe-horned in a clumsy, barely amusing, dig at Jeremy's Corbyn's view on nuclear weapons, along with the typical moniker 'Comrade', used by those who speak negatively of the Leader of the Opposition.
If that is the case, then I apologise to Lord Adonis for accusing him of making the letter public (though not for writing the whingeing letter in the first place). My assumption that he was responsible was based entirely on the title of the thread as I fail to see the point of a "stonking" letter that was not intended for public consumption. In that case, who exactly is this mysterious Mr "No 10" who has "leaked" this confidential letter, and how do they justify a breach of confidence that would not be tolerated by those of us with real jobs and responsibilities? Presumably "No 10" is either a euphemism for the prime minister, who will pretend to know nothing about it if the going gets tough, or is a maverick accomplice of the prime minister who has done this off their own bat. And what would be the point anyway? We are used to them finding any old excuse to say Bad Things about The Other Side, but in this case, as I understand it, they seem to be stirring up bad publicity about someone on their own committee.
I do detest this sort of public whingeing. If you are going to resign, then just do it and move on - there is no point in writing a letter to your employer about it. That is, if it is a genuine resignation, rather than a "if you don't give me what I want, I'm going to resign - OK, then, see you - hang on, I didn't really mean it; you're supposed to say 'please don't go; I'll give you whatever you want'" sort of resignation. And for goodness' sake, just keep it between yourselves - this current fad for making your letters public in a cringeworthy "I'm going to get my friends onto you" sort of way is something I would hope most of us had grown out of since the toddler-having-a-tantrum-in-a-supermarket" phase.
What's this? Could it be you commenting on a political matter? Those posts were unconscious involvement in that particular thread were they?
Now, those posts I've found are negative comments about Labour politicians - the party leader, and a former Labour cabinet minister. This thread has some negativity about a Conservative politician. Is that perhaps the issue, rather than your supposed dislike of seeing wider political discussion on this forum?
Oh, and grahame pious? He's one of the least 'holier than thou' administrators of any forum I contribute to.
