[QUOTE="Reiser99, post: 1057525, member: 72977"] If that's a good response then it shows the standard of politician you are willing to accept. Almost everything he said was to avoid responsibility. For example: Decisions on youth centres are made by local government, not by central government. Yes, but they are funded by grants from central government, so when the conservatives cut funding, what choice do local councils have? That's not acceptable. Just because he wasn't the one who signed off on the decision to close the youth centre, doesn't absolve him of responsibility. Mogg and the conservatives are systematically attacking the poor to keep them poor and if you think him spouting government rhetoric is a good response then I honestly worry about you. I imagine you say things like "well other politicians would do the same." Seriously it makes me furious that people excuse the actions of politicians by saying that that is just politics as though politicians are allowed to do things ordinary people can't. That's completely the wrong way round, politicians should be held to a higher standard, not a lower one. Yet for some reason people in this country are more than happy to accept pathetic excuses and brush of completely immoral acts as 'politics'. Cameron lobbying for Greensill "well he didn't technically break any rules." Well then the rules are not fit for purpose. Mogg spouting Tory rhetoric. "He did well under the circumstances", well then your standard of politician is pathetic. [/QUOTE]
