Oh, so was it all lies then? Oh, I'm sorry.....

[Brendan]

I don?t think anyone who has shown support for Amanda on here is going to vote for her because of the story she has to tell. They are showing their admiration for someone who has the guts to go out there and try to make a difference and are trying to convey to her that she can and should carry on despite her past.

What the fuck have you ever done for this world?

[mockney piers]

At least it had the sensitivity not to use emotive language like 'killing people's children'.

If you don't believe in redemption or rehabilitation then that's a very sad and hopeless world you live in. Perhaps the Belgian authorities should just have executed her, making the streets safe?

Enjoy your Daily Mail...

Of course it's not, which is why it contains "direct quotes". However, does this, or any other person deserve to pay for their former mistakes forever?

She served time for the smuggling, and so has been punished.

Why are you so angry and unforgiving? Seriously! You could bump in to this lady tomorrow, and get on like a house on fire. Would you then drop her when you realised it was this person?

[Maximay]

Oh, I'm sorry for expressing my own personal opinion on an open forum, god forbid! I have done plenty but choose not to go blowing my own trumpet! especially about such negative things when I have children to think of erm..... Brendan has obviously had personal, (very personal) links with the "lady" in question, hope you are both very happy.

[Maurice]

Most of you would be less kind in holding Harriet Harman to the fire. Perhaps if she'd been a prostitute...(I guess in some ways she has been).

She's not just a mate down the pub - she's putting herself forward for office folks.

[snorky]

Weve all got a past - that what makes us what we are.

Unfort. getting into politics will ensure your past will be dragged up - still, look on the bright side - yer alive & well, and unlike the other greasy Mufus in Politics, at least people will remember you - that can only be a + point...

[mockney piers]

Differnce being that Harriet Harman is IN office and not above scrutiny.

Amanda's transgressions are in the past and she's worked hard to rise above some very tough circumstances in her life to get herself clean, sorted and educated.

Also she's not in office merely putting herself up for it; whether she makes it is up to the electorate. The average joe in the street thinks like maximay, and I can say she won't make it into office.

Mind you average joes also try to beat up paediatricians, but that's another story.

As for putting your point of view across in a public forum, yes, we all do that here. But child killer is not an opinion, that's slander. Aspersions about her and Brendan's relationship is not opinion, from whence do you opine on that one? It's playground level 'you kissed her and she smells', that's not worthy of any public forum past puberty frankly.

That?s just puerile. I have met her yes but I don?t know her very well.

I vote on issues not perceptions. Which I suppose distinguishes me from the vast majority of the reality show devouring, corporate cock sucking, lobotomised population.

Will I vote for the Green Party? No probably not.

[Maximay]

It was a joke Brenden, lighten up, (bit overly defensive there re your connection with lady in person ha!)

[Maximay]

in question even.

If only we were as enlightened as you very small group.

[snorky]

When I start using language like this I realise that I am getting a bit too wound up.

Maximay I understand that from your, very unfortunate perspective it is less easy to be magnanimous than it is from mine. I apologise for being insensitive towards that.

[Maximay]

Aw damn! my identity has been uncovered Snorky,I'd better make a swift gettaway eh! Oh well back to work to support all of those not currently in employment. (omg no....do I feel another thread coming on in support of all those poor souls not bothering to get off their fat ar*** and earn a living instead of spending all day, every day in chatrooms on various threads and on my money!) Better paste a message on the net saying that anyone can come on to this forum and express an opinion as long as it is the same as those currently running the threads!

The best evidence Max of the left skew of this board is Cafe Nero. You would think the whole of ED hates the place. But it's bustling.

Yes she is, and the story is out, and she didn't try to brush it under the covers.

However, Maximay wasn't discussing this womans ability to do a job, or even the harm this might do to the party. She was basically attacking her personally, in a very angry way.

My wife will vote green, I will not, and I imagine Amanda and I would probably disagree on a few things (and agree on others), but I still don't want to hang her like a Salem "witch" for some stuff she did years ago.

[*Bob*]

Maximay, would you be happier, or less happy, if your son's current situation were to be exchanged with Chav's right now?

[snorky]

there is no nobility on killing yourself in wage slavery maxi.

Left ?

These Guardian reading hand wringing liberals are not left Maurice.

[Maximay]

You have obviously had no experience with the seedier sides of life then Keef, sorry, drug dealers are scum, the lowest form of low, what I find hard is that a woman who is a mother with kids of her own can do this to other people's kids. My opinion I am entitled to it.

[Maurice]

But there are consequences for making poor choices beyond just admitting you made poor choices and thinking in doing so, you deserve to be elected to office over those who made better choices.

[Brendan]

Are you familiar with the term rehabilitation?

[Maurice]

Indeed. But I would say a key message to rehabilitation is it doesn't automatically heal all the problems caused by your original poor choices. I suspect the message to Chav is she'll have to work five times as hard to win trust of voters. Who by the way, have every right to understand her past choices, which include a criminal record.

[Brendan]

First thing you?ve said all day that I agree with Maurice.
