Y'know, I get that people care a lot about politics. I also get that some of the rhetoric out there right now seems... rather less than honest. But I'd like to put it out there, that if you live with someone who works for a political party, doing ethically dubious acts like defacing billboards isn't going to help your cause. In particular, it's going to cause big problems for your loved one/flatmate (I'm including that Young Labour guy with the secret tapes from last election in the doofus category), and make the party you like look bad. It's even worse when they're trying to build a reputation as being more ethical than the others.
Dude. Don't do that stuff. Even more - don't do that stuff and get caught. The only thing worse than being unethical is being incompetent at it.
For the other bit of scandal that's in the news right now, I think it passes the sniff test of being an accident - no politician should seriously expect a conversation to be private in the middle of an election campaign, in the middle of a crowded cafe in which a large number of reporters were specifically invited to film him drinking a cup of tea. And for all Our John is posturing about having suddenly acquired principles and making threats of police action, it just makes me more curious about what was actually said. Just a thought.
