As long as he can claim on our taxes to keep his horses warm...

Two posters have come back and defended their comments about the Labour slum landlord. Each one has stood up for their comments. Which I respect.

On other threads I see posters changing their p.o.v. quite regularly. Which is their bad faith.

And we didn't let him off. Quite the opposite so what point exactly are you trying (ineffectuallly) to make?

The rough sleeper probably got thrown out of one of Mr Atwhal’s properties for complaining about the mould.

Wow.

As someone once said, "you're entitled to your own opinions, but not your own facts"...

I like that, I also often think of the saying

‘opinions are like arseholes, everyone has one, no one wants to see yours’

Rummly · 03/09/2024 21:25

Oh Lordy. Someone’s actually reported a post of mine poking fun at Labour!

Incredible.

Zonder · 03/09/2024 21:28

Posts don't get deleted unless theres a reason.

Anyway there are some quite interesting responses to NZ on twitter. I don't think it all went down quite like he expected.

Piggywaspushed · 03/09/2024 21:29

Talking of morality, you seem to think it appropriate to make a joke at the expense of a rough sleeper.

I'm disgusted. But I guess it makes its own point.

Oh my word. The sanctimony on this thread rivals a 19th century Methodist assembly.

That’s modern Labour, I guess.

Piggywaspushed · 03/09/2024 21:35

You're welcome.

PandoraSox · 03/09/2024 21:39

Zahawi has millions in his bank account. He could have bought that person coffee and food and maybe a hotel room for a night or two. But no. He simply went "passed"(sic) them. Odious twit.

Piggywaspushed · 03/09/2024 21:40

I'm definitely old Labour. We don't make fun of homelessness either.

You accuse us of being sanctimonious - so do you condemn Zahawi's 'joke'?

If not, is it because he's a Tory?

HannibalHeyes · 03/09/2024 21:51

"Sanctimonious". From the most hypocritical person on the thread.

Yeah...

I don’t know. I haven’t seen it. It sounds like an unattractive tweet.

But I do condemn anyone who reports an inoffensive comment on here. Like mine.

If you’re going to get self-righteous why don’t you report those who defended Mr Athwal?

Zonder · 03/09/2024 21:56

If the comment were inoffensive it wouldn't have been deleted. MNHQ don't jump just because someone says.

bombastix · 03/09/2024 21:58

I’m still not convinced a leftie cat thread needs this Badenoch function! Rummly haven’t you got rightie chums to play with or something?

DuncinToffee · 03/09/2024 22:05

Take your condemnation up with MN then.

They do. I once saw a comment - not mine - deleted in a woo thread that suggested the OP was mistaken about seeing a ghost. And MN HQ very quickly overturned a ban, that was frankly racist, on an Israeli ad, thank god.

bombastix · 03/09/2024 22:06

Please leave

Rummly · 03/09/2024 22:06

Why? What are scared of?

Zonder · 03/09/2024 22:07

Nobody is scared of you 🤣
It's all just a bit dull and predictable.

Zonder · 03/09/2024 22:08

Still laughing at the idea anybody would be scared of silly arguments by someone with poor comprehension.

bombastix · 03/09/2024 22:09

I don’t want this thread, which is good natured and friendly, to be populated by you Rummly. You are like a hot cheese grater on a thigh.

That is, out of place.

There are some posters it's simply not worth engaging with.

bombastix · 03/09/2024 22:11

I know this but really it’s annoying now - basically I don’t like this dogfight stuff
