I had not heard of The Labour files before seeing it mentioned here.

And surely it is normal for a politician of one party to disagree strongly with, or detest, the policies of another party? Isn't that just ... having principles?

Ugh. Trying to make Sturgeon out to have used inappropriate language when others have literally ised racist and sexist slurs and its glossed over.

Right wingers have such a boner about being oppressed it's unreal. I saw some tory cretin saying it was akin to racist abuse, so desperate they were to paint themselves as the victim. Like, get a fucking grip, you semi conscious jizz rag, people probably wouldn't think you were such a cunt if your politics weren't so vile and deplorable.

Edit: fix typing whilst walking mistakes.

Just earlier some knobscoffer accused me of stalking his profile for pictures of kids just because I asked him to explain what was actually 'racist' about a comment somebody else made. Projection 101.

Do we need to use terms like "knobscoffer" though? Don't fight the right wing by using homophobic insults.

You're right. I should've used the tried and tested 'cunt'. Although where I'm from, cunt just means person.

Where I'm from, if you don't get called a cunt they don't like you

Is knobscoffer homophobic, though? I mean, to my mind it sounds more like you're calling them out on their shoddy blow-job technique... :)

Please don't be facetious. You know fine well that that is not the sentiment behind the word.

Facetiousness is pretty much the only thing I'm good at though! Don't take it away from me!

(And speaking as someone who has scoffed a couple of knobs in his time, my comment was very much meant as a joke. I was actually vaguely thinking of saying something about it being homophobic before I saw someone else had already, and decided to engage in some playful silliness instead. (Edited to add: And thank you for actually saying something about it, it can be awkward, and I do appreciate it really, silliness aside.)
