"I did not say he was telling the truth or that the ex-cop lied."
You implied both - you don't have the courage of your convictions to say what you really mean but your intention has been obvious each time you do it
You "didn't support" Ukip, but you argued their case and denigrated their critics - just as you have done with Greene
It's called 'fellow travelling'

Or, possibly because they were aware that no laws had been broken.

And according to several sources, the police no longer hold this information, hence the fact that Bob Quick is reliant on a personal record which he has illegally retained.

I meant Green Jim.

PFR,
You can just honestly admit you backed the wrong man and party,

I did not back him.
I did not say he was telling the truth or that the ex-cop lied.
I just objected to you people assuming his guilt without any evidence.
It was just a prejudiced witch hunt.

your dogged blinkered support

That is just made up shit. I did not support him at all except to point out the absence of any evidence of his guilt, apart from the evidence Steve and Jim made up.


You can take a more honourable path of backing down and eating humble pie...

Willingly. Just provide a quote of me saying something that has been proved wrong.
You will not find one.

My, and several other's, main concern has been Green'e persistent blatant lying,

How did you know he was lying before he was sacked?
There was no evidence. You just assumed it out of prejudice.
I kept an open mind.

Rag,
Anyone making such an allegation would be a fool to do so if they did not have conclusive, incontrovertible evidence to back up that claim.
As a ex police officer Bob Quick is probably more aware of this than most people.


He had been caught lying about the Tories before and had to withdraw and make a grovelling apology to them, so not that aware.

Just a couple of facts to try to lower the level of jubilation:

Green has been sacked for breaching the ministerial code. He has admitted to this.

The fact that he breached the ministerial code (in lying about when he first was made aware of the porn on the computer) does not show that he either downloaded or viewed that porn, which he still denies.

The fact that he is guilty of breaching the ministerial code does not mean that the ex-policeman is innocent of breaching the Data Protection Act, or, possibly of sections of P.A.C.E. (Police & criminal evidence).

He only told Green himself, so he did not break any rules until he went public nine years later.

The second most powerful politician in the country and May's chief confidant lied to parliament and lied to the country (and either he lied to her or she has been complicit in the lie for weeks - discuss).

There you have it. You can decide which of the two men possessed the greater integrity and who was more honest. It isn't hard.

Damian Green resigns from cabinet

"Damian Green, one of Theresa May's closest allies, has resigned from the cabinet after an investigation found he had breached the ministerial code.

He quit after he was found to have made "inaccurate and misleading" statements about what he knew about claims pornography had been found on a computer in his Commons office in 2008.

In his resignation letter, Mr Green apologised for his actions.

BBC's Laura Kuennsberg said the PM "had little choice but to ask him to go".

In her written response, Mrs May expressed "deep regret" at his departure.

Mr Green, who as first secretary of state was the PM's deputy, had been under investigation regarding allegations of inappropriate conduct.

He denied suggestions that he made unwanted advances to a female journalist, Kate Maltby, in 2015 and viewed pornography on a computer in his Commons office in 2008.

I'm more than willing to discuss where the bar should be set, and I'm no prude.

Jim - days, even weeks ago, I already made a distinction in this thread between good 'porn' and bad dehumanising exploitative 'porn' ..

If you remember I teasingly /cheekily compared it to the difference between amateur folk done purely for love of sharing the pursuit,
and cynical corporate commercial folk done purely for profit...

I am 10 years younger than you and Steve -
which is a crucial difference because radical feminism was already firmly in place
in colleges and art & media when my age group was in our teens in the late 1970s.
My sub generation of lefty progressive men, now in our late 50s grew up with feminism as an inescapable formative influence
on our attitudes, actions, and personalities.
It was not as much a challenge for us as it was for older lefty men to take on board, learn, and adapt to.

It is ingrained in my core - for good or bad..

Jim, I already know all you are saying on the subject, it was a prevailing authodoxy for a couple of decades,
but newer serious reappraisals and perspectives of those older tenets now exist to be considered.

Even feminists can and do enjoy a relaxing wank to nudey imagery and movies...

Expressions of sexuality should be apolitical, across gender and class.

I remind you again, it is too crude and unhelpfully puritanical
to condemn all 'porn' as bad, and all viewers of 'porn' therefore must be bad people..

There are other more useful sticks for us to thrash and humiliate tories with...

"It's too simplistic to assert all 'porn' is bad,"
When you debase a natural, essential and highly human act by marketing it at its lowest level, for profit, it is bad PFR
Nothing wrong with writing about sex - Lawrence and N?n did a good job of it; sex on the screen can be both titillating and artistically satisfying (some of those Scandinavian and French classics steered me through adolescence quite well...
As for Gershon Legman.... my hero.
I quite enjoyed Frank Harris when I discovered 'The Penguin Book of Erotic Prose' - but this as a long way from what we are talking about, which ranges from grunting and sucking to man, woman and child rape and snuff.
One you hang a price tag on something we all need the barriers are lifted to cater for the worst aspects of humanity
You should no more be able to sell sex than you should market air


I'm with PFR here, as I believe you are.
Not all porn is bad.
There are some who would classify the writings, films and erotic prose, which you believe are acceptable, as 'porn'.
Others would set the bar somewhat higher(or lower).

You should no more be able to sell sex than you should market air

"It's too simplistic to assert all 'porn' is bad,"
When you debase a natural, essential and highly human act by marketing it at its lowest level, for profit, it is bad PFR
Nothing wrong with writing about sex - Lawrence and Nín did a good job of it; sex on the screen can be both titillating and artistically satisfying (some of those Scandinavian and French classics steered me through adolescence quite well...
As for Gershon Legman.... my hero.
I quite enjoyed Frank Harris when I discovered 'The Penguin Book of Erotic Prose' - but this as a long way from what we are talking about, which ranges from grunting and sucking to man, woman and child rape and snuff.
One you hang a price tag on something we all need the barriers are lifted to cater for the worst aspects of humanity
You should no more be able to sell sex than you should market air
I was never a trendy free lover - I didn't have to; the people I hung around with tended to shared my view that love and affection could be expressed physically as well as emotionally without having to resort to having to turn to marketed goods

Let's keep it in perspective chaps..

good socialist and liberal folks can also enjoy viewing nudey pictures...

It's too simplistic to assert all 'porn' is bad, therefore all folks who view it are tory rotters...

Iains still hasn't responded to the clear implication that he's a porn apologist and porn user. He seems to think that we're all at it, a presumption that would give him comfort, undoubtedly. How unfortunate that he's found that so many of us are outraged and disgusted by that which he appears to find so normal and so, er, satisfying. And PLEASE don't make me quote that infamous sentence of yours again, Iains...
