I wasn'...I'm not much into politics either. I wasn't registerd to vote for many years and now I vote mostly in the presidential elections but that's it. I think the reason I stay away from any discussions on politics (and religion) is that I don't feel smart enough. I know little on either subject and can't even really comment. I do have strong feelings on both subjects but they're not always based on what's factual (as if anyone really knows what's factual anyway). So as this time of year comes around and people are blogging about politics I just don't comment. My husband on the other hand doesn't know when to shut up.....kdenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07504994174268834559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1961960550151154824.post-1987013456722045772012-10-21T22:42:17.083-07:002012-10-21T22:42:17.083-07:00Perhaps if Mr. Mitchell adjusted his bicycle seat,...Perhaps if Mr. Mitchell adjusted his bicycle seat, so the front is lower than the back, he would be less testy.Geo.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16221314320558128986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1961960550151154824.post-32678658423101504292012-10-21T17:53:35.602-07:002012-10-21T17:53:35.602-07:00I don't quite get how UK governments work, but...I don't quite get how UK governments work, but over here, if you follow things at all, every candidate gets in huge trouble for off camera remarks that turned out to be on camera.Sharkbyteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10139935335209860357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1961960550151154824.post-82202198741744264512012-10-21T17:34:18.128-07:002012-10-21T17:34:18.128-07:00I'm lower Middle Class and live well.

I do not like it when people belittle other people. If a member of Parliament were to insult another member of Parliament there would probably be an uproar. If a dock worker were to insult another dock worker there would probably be a fight. If the MP did in fact belittle the guard people are upset but many believe it to be an acceptable action. If the guard had belittled the MP the guard would have been called to task and probably would lose his livelyhood. I do not know what happened in this case. Everyone has had a lapse in good judgement in their lives. It is never a good thing to make another person feel inferior. It shows a lack of good breeding.Emma Springfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10543689047463574012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1961960550151154824.post-8177708933706243392012-10-21T15:02:32.016-07:002012-10-21T15:02:32.016-07:00I have mixed feelings on this one.

He apologised, it was accepted .... the end. I dont understand why the police federation had too take it further. HE IS HUMAN AND MADE A MISTAKE.<br /><br />Earlier in the week it was reported that police officers had tazered a blind guy because they thought his white stick was a Samurai sword. The police have apologised and the circumstances are being investigated. I very much doubt if the police federation will force the PC to resign though. Nor should they, HE IS HUMAN AND MADE A MISTAKE. <br /><br />Like so many of these things the media have a hand in the outcome as us Plebeians only know what they tell us.

My view is, knowing police as well as I do, that it's one man's word against the other, how many coppers exaggerate the reports in their little books? There were two men there, who else would overhear what went on? Andrew Mitchel is my MP. We're disgusted by the affair. He is a good man, polite (yes), refined, considerate, and helpful. A real gentleman, and there are few of those around.Valeriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12099030819314552958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1961960550151154824.post-90870372624285834662012-10-21T09:23:28.547-07:002012-10-21T09:23:28.547-07:00We've all gone PC mad....no pun intended (OK, ...We've all gone PC mad....no pun intended (OK, it was).<br />Jane xJane and Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08102086552682194819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1961960550151154824.post-30330696151106727492012-10-21T07:46:31.918-07:002012-10-21T07:46:31.918-07:00I'm old fashioned, I know...but I don't ca...I'm old fashioned, I know...but I don't care for men who swear at women...and the woman being a P.C. doesn't change matters.the fly in the webhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04563871975125538755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1961960550151154824.post-27296193558346594462012-10-21T07:00:56.103-07:002012-10-21T07:00:56.103-07:00We are in the middle of an ugly election where bot...We are in the middle of an ugly election where both sides are jumping on every thing either of them say or mis-say.
