Guess who is in the Daily Telegraph?

hello telegraph people.I can't see what the big problem is, all he's done is speak his mind & I don't see anything offensive in what he's said. The only thing illegal he's done is pay a bit of cash in hand to a cleaner & his comments about that were pretty much correct as well.
I used to pay the next-door neighbours kid cash to cut my grass, it was either that or I'd have to do it & that wasn't going to happen.

At least two of the other candidates have asked John Cowan to withdraw from this election. However as a typical Labour party candidate he will try and stay on. This whole exercise has proved good for democracy; because if we were in China we would all be locked up!John Cowan must go; as must his fantasies Jacquie Smith and Kerry McCarthy!

will we get to the stage when no-one can say what they want anymore as your online trail haunts you for life? is a shame
Nah.I reckon we stay in this state of hypocritical hysteria for about 10-20 years, then as EVERYONE apart from sad b
ds (and, per this thread, a lot of sad bds too) is embarrassed we just beefen up privacy laws and/or become culturally desensitized to such things. The alternative is people with no personalities as politicians/CEOs etc, and that way lies ruin.

No. It isn't a shame. One should not say on-line anything that you wouldn't be happy to say to someone in the street. The whole anonymity thing leads to those hysterical facebook witch hunts.No-one is anonymous on-line. Your employers and prospective employers ARE reading your facebook, bebo or myspace pages and they ARE taking it into account. One must live with that.
To be fair Racingdude009 made comments HE wasn't embarassed about. It's just no-one else is going to agree...

There are a couple of differences. Firstly, I assume that the kid next door didn't come even close to tax thresholds or claim benefits, so a few quid for mowing the lawn has no impact at all on anything.I used to pay the next-door neighbours kid cash to cut my grass, it was either that or I'd have to do it & that wasn't going to happen.
Secondly, I don't assume you're standing for election to parliament, are you?
