Oh right. I thought he was generally well liked until now.Because what we’ve seen of him in reality shows and in interviews………he’s a tw@t.

It was more those who instantly dislike him all of a sudden because of his political stance. I just find that a bit uncomfortable.
I can't ever remember seeing him mentioned on here as a figure of hate before.
I didn't know he was married to her.That’s really really really disappointing.
Once upon a time he was a real hero of mine. Turns out he’s just a ****.
Should have known, having been married to that complete conspiracist idiot Bev Turner.
I don't think I've been sheltered, no.He stopped being a hero of mine some time ago, but If you can’t understand why people like myself would be further turned off by someone putting themselves forward to become a Conservative MP now, given the last few years, then I can only assume you are fortunate enough to have been largely insulated from the severe problems that many in this country are now facing.
Your suggestion that maybe he is standing so that he can do his bit to put right the wrongs of this current Tory Party and drag them back towards their ‘normal’ level of bastardry, is a bit of a stretch, in my opinion. Especially given he’s talked about how he now lacks empathy following his injury.
He’s just as likely to have spotted an opportunity to get in on the action of a corrupt party that seemingly has never had such a well rewarded bunch of charlatans, crooks and incompetent morons.
But we are all entitled to our own opinions and you may be right, and I may be wrong.
For clarity, I do not believe everyone who has ever voted Tory is a ****.
I do not believe that everyone who has ever stood to be a Tory MP is a ****.
I do, however, believe there is a reasonable chance that anybody choosing now as the moment to pin their colours to the mast and put themselves forward is probably a bit of an opportunist ****.
Unless he is running on a ticket stating openly that ‘I want to rid the party of it’s current corrupt right wing lunatic fringe and do my bit to simply return it to the traditional good old nasty party’, I’ll not be giving him the benefit of the doubt. I’ll stick to my assertion that he’s most likely, an absolute ****.
The enablers of and most enthusiastic cheerleaders for austerity when it was at its worst. Yeah, that would be so much better.I hope we never see him as a MP thank you very much. I imagine it's a seat Lib Dems fancy nabbing.
Anything is better than Tory surely? Maybe not for you it seems.The enablers of and most enthusiastic cheerleaders for austerity when it was at its worst. Yeah, that would be so much better.
I don't think I've been sheltered, no.
If you have reasons other than his political preferences to dislike him then fair enough.
As I said, I had no knowledge of the general dislike for him before today.
Now I can see it is not only because of his politics but also because of the impact of his brain injury, the views of his ex-wife, his attitude regarding cycle helmets and his apparent lack of appreciation for the American emergency and health services.
You live and learn I suppose.
I get the dislike and suspicion, of course I do. And of course I feel that about some people myself.I think you are in a very small minority of people who are seemingly unable to understand why anyone would dislike somebody for their political preferences, particularly someone who is striving to associate themselves with the worst Government in recent history.
I think lots of people would accept that in some cases, that is actually reason enough to dislike someone. Occasionally there doesn’t need to be anything more beyond their political preferences.
Let’s not pretend it doesn’t work both ways. Some on the left will dislike those on the right, just because of their political preferences and vice versa. Plenty on the right really dislike those on the left, just because of their political preferences.
It’s just really really daft to continually try and paint it as a one way thing, like some folk repeatedly strive to do on here.
A lot of it, the name calling is down to frustration, and it's 100% understandable in my opinion.I get the dislike and suspicion, of course I do. And of course I feel that about some people myself.
I think it's the vitriol and, in my view, unnecessary abuse, name calling and hate I don't get.
OK, certain people might have earned that abuse and even play on it.
But in this instance does Cracknell really deserve prik, vvanker, tw@t? And his brain injury used to mock him?
I have seen people on here called scum and murderers purely for voting tory.
And it isn't just one way. People get insulted if they are deemed to be too 'far left' or a 'corbynite' or a 'starmer lover'.
There is hardly ever a debate or discussion which doesn't turn at some point. Decent informative threads don't last long.
That is what I don't understand.
I love watching The Boat Race and didn’t care much for him when he took part in that either.Oh right. I thought he was generally well liked until now.
If you're talking about me I'm not on the right, and I dont believe I am a snowflake either.Why are people getting hung up on a few lazy descriptive swear words? It’s not that a big a deal. I really wouldn’t take it too seriously….
Gosh, if us ‘snowflakes’ got our knickers in a twist everytime some right wing Tory called us ‘woketards’, commy, chav, workshy etc it would be a bit pathetic and childish.
Some of those on the right have absolutely no problem being/defending racists, misogynists, homophobia etc, but call a Tory a tvvat and it’s just really upsetting to them….
Why is it always those on the right who are the biggest snowflakes going?
Exactly. The Tory apple seldom falls far from the public school treePosh boy in being a Tory shocker.
We did a bit of fencing at Boynton, like.There are certain sports which (I would expect) to be a complete posho/tory field. Let's see, which sports could I never do at my old Almer Mata...
Anything equestrian, fencing, archery, rowing, shooting, sailing, I expect there are many more only open to our "betters".
No surprise to find that most of the them including Cracknel are rrseholes
Agree 100% with the sentiment. My ignore list on here isn't full of people I disagree with, but with people "on my side" who just throw insults around and won't take a second to question their own opinions.I get the dislike and suspicion, of course I do. And of course I feel that about some people myself.
