I don't actually imagine that being married to a porn actress would necessarily in any way automatically impede a politicians career. It might even help advance it, if spun the right way.

This is a very strange comment, which seems to imply that those who oppose Brexit - probably a significant majority of the population now, going by recent polls, are equivalent to porn entertainers.

I sometimes wish we had a facility on Mudcat enabling us to filter out some people's posts.

"No worse than", backwoodsman, is also a way of saying "no better than". It can provide an explanation for doing something silly, but never a justification or excuse.
