I'm not surprised.

There is no outrage and it's not about the Lib Dems candidate, sack away.

Why are we making excuses now for the racist twat? I’m sure it wouldn’t be too difficult a task for you guys to find a better candidate.

Using the N word and having a go at disabled people isn't abhorrent? Are you kidding me?

 

This from the divvy who cried to dave on the members thread because a stranger of the Internet said he would love to punch him. 

 

You haven't turned whiney little hypocrite mode off.

Selling state forests means development means deforestation means flooding. Must be a world record attempt on how many leaps of logic you can get into a single sentence.

Ignoring the party cutting spending for flood planning there SD. How noble.

The coalition increased spending on flood defences.

Funding for flood defences has been the subject of political debate and scrutiny, particularly in relation to whether current Government is spending enough or more than previous Governments. Over the five years under the 2010 Coalition Government, flood defence expenditure did increase overall compared to the previous five-year period under Labour, but it was originally set to decrease. The eventual total spending under the Coalition Government was higher due to the additional funding provided at the end of the period in response to the winter floods 2013-14.

Spending on reacting to floods is different to spending on flood defence. Had those floods not happened, spending would have decreased. 

 

So my statement about cutting spending was correct. 

 

Thanks again.

Yeah, totally correct, except for the fact that it was opposite to the truth.

I don't mind people holding the opinion that the coalition didn't spend enough on flood spending, it's a perfectly reasonably position to take, but it is factually incorrect to say that they cut flood spending. As I always say, you're entitled to your own opinion, but not your own facts.
