That's got to be quite tiring.

If an octopus can change constantly, surely humans can.

It’s a good job there are only two to choose from. Imagine if you were trying to mirror 70+ others as well.

knowing Micky, I'm not sure it'll have bugged him as much as you think it might have done

[MickyD]

Not really. I couldn’t give a flying fuck what gender anyone likes to believe they are. 

Me commenting doesn’t equate to me caring.

Correct but NiC seems to think he’s (or she’s, I guess… or even they if required) the most qualified to pigeonhole posters. He/she/they/them/lamp-post couldn’t have read me less correctly.

I've not pigeoholed anyone, so keep yer slippers on.

You just seem to have posted about it a few times on a couple of threads. It was an observation and a question, not an imperical statement of fact.

Ironically, you however have pre-judged me in your post above - assigning me attributes to which you have no idea whether I have, not knowing or having never met me.

See, there's the difference.

Do you put your pronouns on your email signature?

You’re the most judgmental poster I’ve ever read on here. (In my opinion)

At the very least, it questions her independence, after her role in the investigation into Partygate.

Not really. separate job altogether.

Appointment has to be approved by the watchdog anyway.

Does it? - She's worked for Conservative Party members in the past hasn't she?

It's something that gets thrown around. Usually by those whose points I've disagreed with, and it's an easy retort if you don't like what I've written, where I live, what I do for a living etc etc. Ironically, again its thrown around by those who are usually being slightly more closed minded on certain topics, hence its slightly funny when someone can't see that. However, fair enough, its your perogative; but as I said it's a pre-judgement of a character trait that I may, or may not have - as I say you wouldn't know.

She's a career civil servant so she's worked for governments for years.

Not her fault if the latest batch were a bunch of morally bankrupt gobshites.

[Not in Crawley]

Aye they've got her in because she really knows whitehall and will be a massive help if they get into power - don't forget none of this party has really ever been in government and if you read Blair's book about his first term, it took a year to figure everythinhg out so didn't get moving on their agenda as they'd like. It obvious that Starmer wants someone in the team who really understands how being in government works.

As I say, an excellent appointment for a party seriously looking at being in power ina  few years.

Partygate?

That was the time when when Boris Johnson and his “government” were ignoring all the rules they set wasn’t it? At the exact same time I was having to talk to my dying mother through a window that the care home would only allow me to open by 2 inches.

Funny what you remember.
