Jon Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Tory MP Lucy Allan fakes abusive email from constituent. She has since removed the post from her facebook account and claimed 'It wasn't her that edited it'. Think she's in trouble: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentVilla Posted December 1, 2015 Moderator Share Posted December 1, 2015 That is staggeringly stupid, even for an MP. I think she should be forced to resign for that. How stupid can one person be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 In normal circs I would say she was a gonner, but these days you do seem to be able to get away with almost anything when in parliament/the Tory party Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blandy Posted December 1, 2015 Author Moderator Share Posted December 1, 2015 Why should she resign for making up an imaginary single letter from an imaginary person? Ham face Cameron seems to have made up an imaginary Army of 70,000 moderate Syrian fighters and no blinked an eyelid. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedant but it was a real person talking of making things up though , you seem to have made up a nickname for Cameron based on zero evidence and just the ramblings of a man who didn't get the knighthood or whatever it was he expected Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's some ham, so you can see. The whole tawdry piggy head todger shenanigans may or may not be true, but they're not what gave him his hammy face.....or are they.... look - he's all hammy. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted December 1, 2015 Moderator Share Posted December 1, 2015 So, just so I understand this correctly Mr Cameron, the people of Canada and the people of Australia are terrorist sympathisers? Cameron's comments tonight are absolutely disgraceful, he should be ashamed in private and shamed in public. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Conservative MP John Baron, ex Captain in the Fusiliers, served in Northern Ireland. David Cameron needs to have a word with this guy, he's one of the terrorist sympathisers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like both sides of this discussion have been pretty disgraceful. I agree, though, that the comments of our PM to the 1922, if reported accurately, are utterly appalling.

snowychap Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Just now, OutByEaster? said: Both sides? What did I miss? As an example, the Torygraph (also carrying the story of the same comments by Cameron to the 1922) have been suggesting that emails have been going to Labour MPs threatening deselection with comments about 'blood on the hands' and so on. Beyond that, the whole 'debate' has largely been framed in such a way that it is about pointing towards the opposing side and saying that they're the ones going to be more responsible for making everything more dangerous. By disgraceful, I don't necessarily mean that someone has said something specific about someone else that is worse than anyone else (though I think Cameron's comments, if correct, are contemptible) but rather that the tenor of the debate has been less about coming up with a solution and more about saying how much of a problem the other lot are. That's not too much of an issue for us on a messageboard, it's a real problem for us when they're them that makes the decisions. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
