this comment is emblimatic of the issue, politics is not just fun to jibber about, on many issues people have felt most frustrated about, you treat it as such. a game of technicality football. rather than imagining that people are coming with positions they're knowledgable about and have lived experience of. in many issues are actively harming or reducing their quality of life or someone they love.
i personally talk about stuff here as i interact with many parts of the forum off line, hang out with people and i think it's good to talk through stuff they might not even acknowledge, many people talk to me about such.
you're getting big man on the ball, over some people upset over the party, many of them have voted for their entire lives, campaigned for, is sacking no name back bench mps for saying "can we spend an insignificant amount of money to help feed 1.6 million kids after 14 years of cuts"?. weeks after they cannae even say anything about another no namer doing actual section 28 homophobia.
also, as an aside, i'm a trans woman on the internet who's pretty public about her life and experiences, the fact you think i'd be upset of things a man on a bike forum could post on the internet is very funny. if that was the case i'd have left this site long ago.
