That was my example; you thought citing Farage was ok but pointing out why he was wrong was politicising it.
As evidence of how open minded you are it’s not the best, I am afraid to say.
Ha Ha. Sorry. When I clicked the link I only saw my post as yours was hidden.
OK.
Firstly, I never posted that original link, I only responded to it asking the poster does he not think Farage has a point. I also qualified that point in my post.
Farage's comments about 1985 and your reference to "The lives of others" are to a large degree lost on me. Apologies for my ignorance in that regard. In my post I was referring to the BBC article and specifically that part relating to people reporting neighbours to the police if they left the house more than once. Apart from being a waste of police time I thought it was the sort of thing you might expect in a police state. You responded saying No he doesn't have a point, and that you basically agreed with the practice. If you had left it there I probably would have said fair do's and added something like I'm glad I don't live in your street.
But you didn't leave it there, you carried on with a couple more paragraphs of political stuff about Farage. That's why I put you on ignore, because it followed on from a number of other conversations you and I had previously had on the subject of political postings in this thread.
On the subject of Farage, you will find quite a few other posts on here when I have disagreed and/or distanced myself from comments he has made. I don't see you highlighting those posts to make your point. And for the record, it just happened to be Farage who made a twitter feed on that BBC article. Had it been somebody else, whether that be Johnson, or Corbyn, or Starmer or Morgan, I would still have made the same point. Ergo, it wasn't about Farage, it was about the subject of the BBC article.
