But my point is pretty simple, you like to call people out for overt political bias, but comparing these two threads and many other examples, you consistently do exactly what you are calling others out for. On the second page you throw out the completely committal 'any politician who does xyz..' line, it's like you are a politician yourself.

And addressing the part about me missing the point, that thread proves my point pretty perfectly because you jumped in that thread and tried the direct the discussion to anything other than Zahawi's tax affairs.
Sure, everyone has a degree of confirmation bias, but as you will see, my criticism there is in how people speak, which basically wasn't about Nadhim Zahawi at all, he was just a proxy for the kind of language that I have examples of, and which make a sensible discission on that topic impossible.

The same cannot be said in this thread. For Stevos assertion to be true, then we would be seeing right-wing people on here calling Labour tosspots, parasites, miscreants etc. And we don't see that. We do regularly read about vermin and scum and the like and it's nearly always in one direction.

It's the language I objected to on that Nadhim Zahawi thread.
