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' Jim Carroll |
Subject: RE: BS: Damian Green From: Nigel Parsons Date: 21 Dec 17 - 08:33 AM From: Jim Carroll - PM Date: 21 Dec 17 - 08:27 AM THe police and Government have been aware of the contents of Green's computer since 2013 and have sat on it for political expediency Jim Carroll 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. |
Subject: RE: BS: Damian Green From: punkfolkrocker Date: 21 Dec 17 - 08:33 AM Keith - we knew he was lying because he is a high ranking tory politician... It's such an obvious sure bet...!!!!! |
Subject: RE: BS: Damian Green From: punkfolkrocker Date: 21 Dec 17 - 08:28 AM ... and it's not too far fetched to consider how much of Green's public disgrace has actually been stirred up covertly by the tory far right, as a devious ploy to weaken and replace May with Bozzer. Or whoever they prefer for PM this week... It must be fun right now in Tory drinking clubs up and down the nation, watching the various factions at each other's throats for xmas..... |
Subject: RE: BS: Damian Green From: Keith A of Hertford Date: 21 Dec 17 - 08:28 AM Jim, "he should have been suspended while the enquiry proceeded." As should Green - no word of condemnation on that one though 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. |

Subject: RE: BS: Damian Green From: Raggytash Date: 21 Dec 17 - 08:05 AM An interesting article on the BBC today regarding this matter. Some posters on here seem to believe that only Quick knew of the alleged pornographic material on Greens computer but the article clearly states that Sir Paul Stephenson (Met Commissioner at the time) was also aware of this. BBC Article |
Subject: RE: BS: Damian Green From: Raggytash Date: 21 Dec 17 - 07:55 AM Nigel, I have said it before and I will repeat it. 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. Perhaps this is the reason why Damien Green has not taken legal action against him. |
Subject: RE: BS: Damian Green From: punkfolkrocker Date: 21 Dec 17 - 07:51 AM All along I've been promoting the notion that porn is a diversion and distraction in this case.

Subject: RE: BS: Damian Green From: Nigel Parsons Date: 21 Dec 17 - 07:34 AM 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). |

There is actually a more dignified way for you to end this silliness. You can just honestly admit you backed the wrong man and party, and that you are yourself heavily disappointed to be so badly let down for giving your dogged blinkered support to such cynical and ruthless self preserving liars... You can take a more honourable path of backing down and eating humble pie... That's what I'd do... and if you did that, I for one would have more respect for you. |

Pure supposition. You, Keith, are the most hypocritical person it has ever been my misfortune to come across. There is no point in even attempting any level of serious discussion with you as you will twist what others say, lie about what already has been said and, when all that fails, change the 'rules' just to save face. It is little wonder that people resort to abuse. You deserve every bit of it. What is amazing is that you have been allowed to go on so long and we all let you carry on with your stupid game.

Your problem is that you are lying about me and can not substantiate your false accusations. Do what I do. Quote what has actually been said and then address it. That is how discussion works. Personal attack has no place. You resort to it because you have nothing else. You reveal your inadequacy. |

Subject: RE: BS: Damian Green From: Keith A of Hertford Date: 21 Dec 17 - 04:50 AM Can you provide any evidence of that? After all... Labour was in government, and have not indicated any prior knowledge of any of this. Labour leadership would not have sat on such damning knowledge. Quick does not and never claimed to have informed the Tory Party. The enquiry found that it had been reported to Green and his lawyer. It did not find that it had been reported to anyone else. |

Subject: RE: BS: Damian Green From: Keith A of Hertford Date: 21 Dec 17 - 04:34 AM Steve, A policeman saw pornography on a computer and, technically against the rules, felt obliged to blow the whistle and tell the truth about it, Who to? He only told Green himself, so he did not break any rules until he went public nine years later. He did not report it to the government or to the Tory Party or anyone else at the time. You can decide which of the two men possessed the greater integrity and who was more honest. It isn't hard. Not now it isn't. We know it was Green who lied. I refused to accuse either in the absence of any evidence. You people operate on prejudice and witch hunt. That is all I was critical of. |
Subject: RE: BS: Damian Green From: Steve Shaw Date: 21 Dec 17 - 04:27 AM Good grief, the grapes are sour this morning... A policeman saw pornography on a computer and, technically against the rules, felt obliged to blow the whistle and tell the truth about it, quite likely as a consequence other allegations had been made public. 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. And desist from smearing Quick, Keith. You are the first to complain about lack of evidence. You have no evidence that he acted out of a grudge. You've already picked the wrong horse once. Don't compound your error. |

I kept an open mind because there was no evidence either way. I never accused either. I did strongly criticise all you people who assumed Green's guilt in the absence of any evidence, and even making up false facts about him. That was just prejudice. Rag, I wonder if people on this site will provide an apology to the police officers they have so severely castigated over the past couple of weeks.

If you read the news, or watch the news on the BBC, there is still no evidence (apart from the statement of the opinion of one ex-policeman) that Green downloaded, or viewed, porn on his office computer.

Good riddance to bad, scheming Tory rubbish, and I hope he will now apologise to the two policemen who have been dragged through the mud whilst he was trying to divert blame on to them.

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." |
Subject: RE: BS: Damian Green From: Steve Shaw Date: 18 Dec 17 - 10:36 AM I'm more than willing to discuss where the bar should be set, and I'm no prude. But, once we've set the bar, we should redefine what makes it over that bar as something other than pornography, which is best, I feel, retained as a suitably ugly word for an ugly, demeaning and exploitative phenomenon. |
Subject: RE: BS: Damian Green From: punkfolkrocker Date: 18 Dec 17 - 07:28 AM 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... |
