Jacob Rees-Mogg
At a complete loss about the so-called 'fury'. A staunch Catholic says he's against abortion and people are shocked? What next, Pope is a Catholic shock? Ridiculous, manufactured, insulting to Catholics. Tomorrow's front page: "Man found in bed with his wife"?

Naomi - // Mamyalyyne at 16.38. You shouldn't retract 'badgered'. Interviewers often 'badger' those they're interviewing - politicians or not. .//
It's Maya's choice to express her view as she wishes, and to withdraw her comment if she feels it is not appropriate.
// I agree with ummmm at 17.22. I wish andy-hughes would shut up about his ridiculous 'so' rule too. //
I wish you'd stop telling other people how and what to post - we all have our cross to bear.

Mamya - // Should he have refused to answer the direct question and been castigated for that instead? //
How many times do you see a politician answer a direct question with a direct answer!
MR RM could have done, as he did with the same-sex marriage question, he could have ducked behind his faith - he chose not to do so, and the accent here is on his choice. He was not badgered, or compelled in any way to answer - he chose to do so.
// I don't really require an answer but am ever the one to try and soothe ruffled feathers. //
No ruffled feathers here, I assure you.

ummmm - //Andy - you could always ignore the fact that someone said 'so' //
Of course I could, and often do.
What I will not ignore is anyone following the word 'So ...' with something that was not in the post to which they are replying, and then getting shirty with a poster for something they haven't said.

Garaman - //Andy, regarding your 'so rule', to use your own words on this thread 'I wish you'd stop telling other people how and what to post'. //
I never tell anyone how and what to post.
Pointing out that a statement is incorrect is just that - pointing it out.
It doesn't come with a set of instructions on how to do it better, or a ticking off for doing it wrong - it simply draws attention to a post that is stating something that is not true.

Naomi - // andy-hughes, I haven't told anyone how to post . ... //
Your words - //You shouldn't retract 'badgered'.//
Looks like telling someone how to post to me!
// ... but I do wish you'd put a sock in it about your silly 'so' rule. Nothing like derailing yet another thread with it - and we all know how you frown upon that! //
The fact that it clearly irritates you so much merely adds to the pleasure I get in pointing it out.

That says much about you - but nothing I hadn't suspected.
I'll leave you to blather away to your heart's content. I'm going elsewhere on AB. Anywhere has to be more interesting than this.

A little story from many years ago before I go to dine, don't know why it came to mind.
Mum had so called nipped to the shops for a few things and said she wouldn't be long.
Finally, in she came...
Dad - You've been a long time Vee, what kept you?
Mum - Got chatting to Mrs Potterton from number 42, she can go on till the cows come home.
Dad (a man of few words but sharp and wise) - Aye, but by t'time her cows have come home they're only fit fer t'glue factory. Put t'kettle on love.

Blather????? How very wounding!
Not at all the sort of adjective I would like for my carefully thought out and deeply incisive wit and wisdom.
I am truly hurt!!!

ummmm - // And that from a MOD!!! //
The role doesn't come with any restrictions of good old fashioned teasing, or defence if attacked, or a sense of humour, or any of the other things that all AB'ers (which Mods are!) are entitled to employ on a daily basis.
Please don't be confused - it's Mod, not God!!!
