    would you have supported the arrest or hanging of the suffragettes? They frequently broke the law. legality should never be conflated with morality as the law is frequently an ass.

    Was the guy that invented the internal combustion engine a hypocrite for using a horse to get everywhere? participation in a system doesn't disqualify you from seeking to change or improve it.

    I would definitely have supported the arrest and punishment for those that broke the law.

    The suffragettes used a bombing campaign, amongst other things, and I believe more than half a dozen people were killed during their protests.

    However had they not been so extreme, it's likely women wouldn't have got the right to vote for some time. Yes, and some of those that died were often the suffragettes themselves.

    I could never support terrorism. The Suffragettes were involved in over 300 bombings and arson attacks. They might have eventually got their right to vote, but went about it the wrong way.

    So deranged even sacked by the worst PM ever to exist! Shortest tenure in office since 1945!

    Just another example of an appalling individual appointed to high office by an utter incompetent.

    General Election Now!

    We're already on an island Tony. And the sad fact is that we will have to find alternatives to most or all of those things to avoid shagging the climate even more than we already have done.

    Could just nip up to the Chinese Consulte in Manchester if the flight to the real thing is a bit far.

    You have literally just ignored the post I made that said I don't think they're going about it the right way. I'm sure all of these things looked a great idea when they were discussing it amongst themselves, but they forgot that they need to convince people who don't already agree with them.
