Okay regarding Hillsborough I'll extend my apologies I was chatting complete shit. I had preconceptions of what happened and since the mentioning in this thread I've gone back and looked up this report, found out my thoughts were wrong. I was ignorant, hell it happens to the best of us.
So yeah, you're right. I'm sorry for that.
I take issue with what you say afterward though:
"When the person you like is a politician, you can be held to account for what that politician has done"
I call bullshit on this statement. Why am I in any way accountable for what this guy does/has done. Why is him being a politician make a difference? What if he was an actor?
You go on to say:
"In that, you have repeatedly failed to accept the criticisms of Boris that are very much due to him.
And on that, yes, I'll call you to fucking rights about it."
Now this is bullshit I'm afraid.
Name one time I've failed to accept criticism of Boris?
I demonstrated earlier I was happy to say he wasn't perfect, that he's done bad things.
He's just like all other politicians in this regard.
