    The idiot Hedley said later that he stood by every word he said, and went on to say that Hitler, Mussolini and Franco were human beings too, clearly somehow comparing Boris to those evil dictators

    How on earth this vile character has not already been sacked is a disgrace, even some of his pals and fellow RMT members have condemned him

    The extreme left are every bit as reprehensible and dangerous as the extreme right.

    The vast majority of people understand why the lockdown needs to be so severe, as painful as it will be to watch everything except pubs re-open for a bit, if the govt communicates the necessity of why clearly and concisely most will understand. Smaller businesses absolutely if possible but leisure activities need handling with kid gloves as whatever you open first is going to get swamped.

    As i’ve posted earlier, however its approached, large doses of common sense and self discipline will be needed. And that’s where I fear things will fall down.

    Jesus' comeback was impressive. But did he come back from 2-0 down away at Chelsea.....?

    Politics point scoring at its very worse. Having a go, rightly or wrongly, at Matt Hancock conveniently forgetting what role he played in the governments lead up to the gulf war, an illegal war in which thousands of innocent people died. What a hypocritical, despicable piece of shit Alistair Campbell is.

    Why are the mods still allowing copy and paste posts of entire articles? Several over the last week.

    We've been through this. Mod job to edit the posts because users are not aware. Slack.

    Fair comment .. apart from the 'slack' bit! ;)

    The vast majority of posters don't post verbatim but instead use a link. There are only a small number of posters who do post verbatim using cut and paste. I suspect they are simply trying to be helpful to other posters who have trouble clicking on the link. In this case, somebody else Reported the most recent post I suspect you're referring to and it has now been edited and the poster asked to simply include the relevant link in future. Is that OK?

    Depends which side of the fence you're on. Raab and Patel (and plenty of others) would have privatised the NHS long ago if they'd had free rein to do so. That's evil in my book. I don't think of Johnson as evil, but I do think he's lazy and self serving.
    Many Tories (not all) come across as downright evil to me, because I believe their political beliefs are utterly selfish and harmful to ordinary people.
    I don't tend to see people on the left of centre as evil, because I see their motives as being to try to benefit the greatest number of people.
    Clearly people who hold more right wing, individualistic views will tend to see good in the same Tories that I regard as selfish barstewards and bad in leftist politicians who I see as honourable in motive even when they make mistakes.
    Good and bad is in the eye of the beholder.

    As a general principle I agree. I’m moderate in my own political beliefs, but they do tend to be right of centre. Right or Left, I don’t think of either as being ‘right or wrong’, when you live in such a diverse and ‘free’ democracy. Its when intolerance and extremism creeps in, that it becomes a problem. Very few politicians inspire anything like trust in me to be honest. In fact, when I see the inability of politicians to work collaboratively for the greater good of society, they each come across as self-servicing, selfish children.

    You're going ott on that!

    Other sites do allow copying of all articles. As long as the link is there it's fine.

    @Dennis@Dennis am doing other mods go on other forums and you will see.

    If you couldn't do it then the Daily Mail website would be shut down. As long as you include the source with a link or hyperlink of where the story came from that's all that matters.

    Even the T & A does it And Yorkshire Post.
