(I actually quite liked the picture).
It wasn't the picture, it was the remark prior to my last one. I don not feel there is any benefit into dragging party politics and those sort of comments into a photography forum, however they were meant.
(I actually quite liked the picture).
You were referring to my comment of course. My comment was NOTHING to do with party politics, in fact nothing to do with any politics. My remarks were regarding the subjects in the pic of which I am repulsed by.
And yes despite the repulsiveness of the people in the picture, it was a funny pic.
Would you have made the same complaint had the pic just been of the looters and someone had called them lowlife?

The comment by paulgee20 in the second post which said "Typifies just how far away from reality they are!" is actually political as it refers to the distance politicians have from reality. Are you asking him to refrain from that?

If the photo can be taken in fun, so can Smeggy's comment which is a play on words, and might refer to all politicians, rather than just Tory ones.
Perhaps threads with political content should be clearly labelled, so members whose minds might implode if they read political opinions that they do not share, can avoid them?
In fact this thread has already turned into an argument simply because of a perceived political remark being made. Which is exactly why I feel they should be avoided.
