In today's intolerant political world it takes a lot courage to express contrary opinions but it takes even more courage to stand up against the bad mannered bullies who think that social media is a platform from which they can spew their immature venom.

[MARTIN PAIN @PainWillard]

Yes you are right, quite often entering public service flags you up to be insulted and abused because many people do not understand the art of debate nor do they have tolerance for any ideas or opinions other than their own. Maturity and manners are as often in short supply

[🇪🇺 🇬🇧Woke Hardline Centrist 🕷⭐️ @HardCentrist]

@JamesMelville Ever been in an abusive relationship? Usually it is best to get out of it.

[MARTIN PAIN @PainWillard]

This concept must be embraced across party lines and at all levels of governance. Too many people think that those with a different opinion must be castigated, insulted and branded as the enemy. We need to return to respect and maturity

[James Melville 🚜 @JamesMelville]

It is surely possible to have differing views within the same political party. It is surely possible to embrace these differences without resorting to abuse, threats and deselections. Because, ultimately, ideological purity is an echo chamber that eventually loses public support.

#ChukaUmunna your courage and integrity and that of your colleagues is an example to us all. Thankyou

What is this new policy fad of turning to the armed forces to solve policing problems like #GatwickDrones or political fiascos like #BrexitShambles the army is not a political tool

[MARTIN PAIN @PainWillard]

#StupidWoman & #MPs of all hues should be kept in Westminster until they provide solution to #BrexitShambles. Emergency workers still carry out duty while others're on holiday & this is national emergency. MPs must stop avoiding truth, we just cannot ruin UK & should not #Brexit

[MARTIN PAIN @PainWillard]

#MAY can find millions to bribe #DUP , 2 billion to prepare for #BrexitShambles she created but we still leave hopeless homeless to freeze & die on our streets. A fundamental pillar of governance is safety, security, health & prosperity of all the people not just the affluent few

[MARTIN PAIN @PainWillard]

Homelessness has doubled over last ten years. We cannot pretend to be a civilized progressive nation if we blinker ourselves to the hopelessness of those sleeping and sometimes dying on our streets, the same streets walked by many well heeled 'I'm all right jack' policy makers

[MARTIN PAIN @PainWillard]

Height of stupidity when a stupid man calls a stupid woman stupid and the rest if us are just as stupid for focusing on it rather than sorting out #brexit. How easily we are conned

[MARTIN PAIN @PainWillard]

Yes, the killer of our Northern industries, mangler of our transport system and queen if the poll tax, the one and only (thank God) Margaret 'misery-maker' Thatcher who is #Mays role model.

[Brexit Bin 🇪🇺🇬🇧🇩🇪🕊🇺🇦 #BrexitHasFailed @BrexitBin]

Can anybody alive think of a worse pair of prime ministers than Cameron and May?

Seriously. Can you?

[MARTIN PAIN @PainWillard]

#MayMustGo was so relieved today when subject of stupidity hysterically took precedence over our #Brexit woes. #Tories jumped in with both feet to stupidly scream about stupidity. Nothing like changing the subject to deflect the truth and these are the people we pay to govern us

[MARTIN PAIN @PainWillard]

It'll take moral courage to do it but the only real solution to the utter #Brexit fiasco that has corroded the very fabric of our nation is to request an A50 extension while we elect a new government and ask the people if based upon what we now know should we #Brexit or #Remain

[James Melville 🚜 @JamesMelville]

Anyone that hastily triggers Article 50, takes over 2 years to negotiate a deal that everyone hates, and then deliberately runs down the clock towards a no-deal Brexit, cannot be described as anything other than stupid.
He should have added pathological liar for good measure.

[MARTIN PAIN @PainWillard]

Old African proverb :Its a fool who chases rats when the house is burning. Old European saying: fiddling while Rome is burning. Old Asian adage: Hiding in the smoke will get you burnt. #may & #Corbyn please note: Stupidity is not an excuse do your jobs and solve this #Brexit mess

[MARTIN PAIN @PainWillard]

If you observe our parliament in session it is easy to understand how they plunged this country into this #Brexit quagmire, they bicker about nonentities, sidestep the truth, avoid reality and make a mockery of that thing called democracy which is fast slipping out of our grasp

[MARTIN PAIN @PainWillard]

While #Brexit is burning the UK our stupid politicians argue about a stupid man calling a stupid woman stupid. Instead of doing their highly paid jobs these stupid people focus upon stupidity. Is there any hope? Where are the adults? Oh dear!!!
