PR Disaster

[EternalOptimist]

What's the matter diddums ?

you post a gleeful thread about a party having a PR disaster, then you don't like it when people come back with ten PR disasters for your own tribe.

People in glass houses should really be more careful about throwing stones

Have we done the transphobic eco warrior yet

Not that I'd want to throw stones at people in carbon neutral glass houses

The anti-UKIP nutters form no part of my tribe, whatever that may be. (One of them had some pieces published in the Graun four years ago, really? )

Will Nige be cancelling his newspaper columns, books and TV appearances because some young loonies sat on his car? Aldi do a perfectly serviceable tin foil, if you need some new headgear.

The 'Green thuggery' at a council meeting about the fate of a local park (where DO you get this stuff?) turns out to be no such thing, the single Green there was polite throughout (video available).

And now a TwitterStorm in a teacup from back in January.

What next? I quake in my boots.

Sorry, as the post was a response to Nige's comment about HIV, I assumed that was what you meant. The point is applicable to all illnesses, though. If you ban entry to carriers, they'll likely just conceal the condition and end up costing us all more....

As opposed to advertising the free treatment and becoming a world magnet?

HIV as a disease has not affected male homosexuals exclusively in a very long time so how is it possible to say that to prevent carriers going anywhere is homophobic, especially when lesbians who never had a male partner or engaged in other risky behaviours like sharing needles would be unlikely to ever be exposed?

I know that. You know that. UKIP, maybe not so much ...

The wages of promiscuity is deadly disease. It is now at last admitted, even in official circles, that HIV is chiefly a disease of homosexuals and drug-abusers – and that a far greater percentage of homosexuals than heterosexuals do drugs.
