The fact you think that passing comment on someone's politics is comparable to slagging their face is telling, Gnomes.
The fact you think you can call someone a cunt based on their party alone says more than enough.
The thing I find funny about you is that you talk in absolutes with no appreciation that opinions are relative. For you, Farage is absolutely evil, Hitler, and apparently a bad orator.
Yes, because unlike me you're
all about the shades of grey and the nuance, aren't you?
Amazingly, if you read what I've been talking about in this very thread you'll see that I've had my opinion of, for example, Ed Milliband and Nicola Sturgeon (who i previously disliked due to the Nat bollocks she came out with) swayed somewhat on the basis of stuff that's actually happened, both for the worse and the better. I cant say the same about you. You're not the most introspective or self reflective of people when it comes to politics. You are, funnily enough, an awful lot like Stu Campbell in that respect
Cavey, for all my disagreements with him, is someone who can admit when he's wrong, when he's gone too far, and will be gracious when you change your mind and agree with him. You're very bulheaded, chap.

I think Sturgeon is an emotive, selfish moron that offered nothing to the debate and took the standard SNP tactic of lambasting the Tories for being The Evils. I also think Farage made a couple of valid points, and speaks well. I'd never vote for him in a million years, but I can say that very easily. You absolutely hate him and can't admit anything to his favour.
In what way does that reflect well on you and poorly on me?

Now, you can say the same about me and Sturgeon, and then what you have there are two opinions.
Well, yes indeed.

Merit is entirely subjective, except that you think you're right, and the best way you think to shut me down is to try to cast some misogynistic aspersion against me as you clearly think that's the winner. The very worst I did in my original post is liken her to Jimmy Krankie, and the likeness is fucking astonishing as far as I'm concerned, yet in no way means I hate women (as you were trying to make out).
Yes, so very, very many men have their appearance singled out as the main thing to comment on, whereas that almost never happens with women. Clearly.
Come on. It's cheap and unnecessary. Appearance is something that neither can be changed nor matters. Unlike a politician's cuntitude.

Meanwhile calling people cunts, twats, and Hitler is so much more credible because that's not based on looks - just an incoherent personal hatred that will concede nothing in any regard.
It would only be incoherent if describing them as twats and cunts wasn't based on their actions (which are those of cunts and twats). Also, once again, I did not describe Farage as Hitler, merely pointed out that someone being a good orator is not an inherent moral positive, by way of a comparison with someone else who was considered to be one. I appreciate you have a limited mental armoury to work with on this, but making shit up is beneath even you, surely? I know you've got an axe to grind when it comes to politics and the Nats in particular, but is "winning" an argument really that important?
