Whilst he is undoubtedly a pretty loathsome character, using recordings from debating society meetings to raise it could be considered rather poor.

Yeah, you're right. I'm sure he's a reformed character by now. Probably a full on socialist campaigning for race equality and volunteering his spare time to help the poor.

Yeah, I'm sure by now he's seen the error of vile misogynist ways and probably went on to marry a lovely (homophobic, transphobic, holocaust denier) lass.

Re: The Daily Post Election Politics Thread
I'm sure someone once told me he was a communist at Uni.
No idea if that is true but i think it was a teacher when Gove was busy wrecking the education system and i was a school governor.

Nice long list of peers currently under investigation for failing to declare interests they should have declared.

Fwiw fellas, I'm not defending the twunt. I was simply pointing out that the stance taken in some debating society debates can be intentionally polarised, for the sake of argument alone. Furthermore, playing devil's advocate on behalf of a view that you do not hold also has great merit.Monty wrote:Yeah, I'm sure by now he's seen the error of vile misogynist ways and probably went on to marry a lovely (homophobic, transphobic, holocaust denier) lass.
Granted, however, these defences seem unlikely mitigation in Gove's case..
Consider me well and truly "told" .

HAHA yes, I get that in these Uni debates you are given a side regardless of your own opinion to defend, but I'm fairly certain you're not supposed to slut-shame the opposition.

Possibly (almost certainly) the worst talent pool in the history of British governments.

Re: The Daily Post Election Politics Thread
Say hello to our new Minister for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport, a move even a Tory MP has called a “colossal mistake”.
She thinks the BBC is, “a biased leftwing organisation which is seriously failing in its political representation, from the top-down”.

Liz Truss in 2018
"I don't think anyone describes me as a diplomat... and I'm not very diplomatic."
She is now the foreign secretary, responsible for international diplomacy for the United Kingdom on the world stage.
