Sometimes, I think you must be the last mortal with even a shred of faith in politicians (of any stripe)...

Ahh...

Politicians.

Let me count the ways I love thee:

1/ removed permanently from the planet.

2/ just refer to one, really.

What amazes me is that they walked into a honey trap with their cock in their hand, FFS some basic due diligence would have shown it was a trap and that's what amazes me, after all this isn't the first such trap is it?

Hope he used a french letter

Sloper · February 25, 2015, 04:58:21 pm

We called but you were out, please take this card and some identification to the delivery office.

I liked this bit

Quote

“This absurd Tory attack just shows how desperate Conservatives are to divert attention from their failing election campaign and their plans for extreme cuts to public services."

Sloper · March 25, 2015, 12:49:06 pm

OOops, wrong thread.

However, given the nature of the injury and the potential causes it does show a lack of awarness on the part of the person who produced the add / signed it off, particularly given the analysis of the Tory poster showing (apparently) a road in Germany.

As for the credit being to a Getty photographer, hmm I'm not a radiographer but I'd suggest you need a particularly expensive sort of digital camera to take that sort of image and I'd be surprised if the photogrpaher was hanging aroung casually snapping people's x-rays.

As for the Labour comments, these are hardly what I would call surprising.
