Everyone knows he's a racist already. No-one who is going to vote for him cares.

I will never stop pointing out the other worldliness of Tories and posh people, not arsed. They look weird they are weird

Might as well go ahead and apply some sexism, racism, homophobia or other bigotry too, if you are giving yourself a free pass when it's tories.

No, I think we'll manage to keep it in proportion.

Either you think it's OK to make comments about people's personal appearance, when it's not relevant to the matter in hand, or you don't.No, I think we'll manage to keep it in proportion.
You'll all make light of the issue, just like people used to make light of racism or sexism.

Boris Johnson refuses to say if he has taken cocaine, despite previous admissions
so that's a yes then

not only a yes, but a yes, yes, YES
Rory Stewart seems to be vaguely human in a sort of Eton tory kind of way so that's him fucked. Gove seems to have acquired a reputation (deserved or not) for competency so that counts him out. Harper's mum wouldn't be able to recognise him in an ID parade so bye bye Mark and the same probably goes for Halfcock. The party has realised that thinking they have Thatcher mark II was a mistake so Lothsome is done for. No one is taking Mcvey seriously and it sounds like Lorraine Kelly has the dirt so she's a gonner. Even if he get's down to the last two I can't see the rank and file accepting a Muslim as leader so Javid's wasting his time.
That just leaves Johnson, Raab, and Cunt.
It's going to be Johnson isn't it? This utterly fucked idea of Johnson as Chairman rather than CEO just shows how desperate they are.

No, I don't think focusing on someone's appearance is a good road though, splitting hairs, the thing Wookey posted at the top is a lookalike thing (not entirely, but slightly different). But where to draw the line, I dunno. To take Donald Trump as an example, I don't get too het up about the various images posted about his orange tan or flyaway hair. I don't get too het up because he's a racist, accused of multiple sexual assaults and a political monster. And if that makes me a hypocrite, I'll live with it. But as to your comment on that being akin to making light of racism or sexism... No.

the question they booed was Beth Rigby asking about the shit he's talked about muslims.

As far as I can tell, Dougie is now neither in UKIP or the Brexit lot. He's that rare thing, an Independent Swivel Eyed Loon.
Hang on, *checks with teuchter*, is swivel eyed loon okay?

But you'd not go along with insults directed at Mugabe on the basis of his skin colour, and yes, I understand why that's not entirely equivalent to making fun of Trump's orangeness. A post a few pages back focused on Rory Stewart's teeth, with reference to the Harry Enfield "nice-but-dim" stereotype, one that associates stupidity with a particular facial feature. Not helpful to anyone who has that appearance through no choice of their own. Best just to stay away from anything to do with insulting or lampooning people based on things like facial features I think.

I think the point he's seeking to make is that he reckons Johnson could gain the support of the sort of people who elected him. Whether that's true or relevant remains to be seen.
That's a jaw droppingly insensitive comment about swivel eyes, BTW

Not really. Probably anyone with a squint doesn't find it a helpful term to have in circulation.

I thought the 'loon' bit was a bit strong, people have no choice in what trousers they wear.

Yes, it is certainly, though it's actually David Cameron's term for the wilder fringes of his party (so should probably have had inverted commas). In part at least, I used it in the context of the discussion of the discussion on this page about how far you should go/what ammunition should you use to attack political enemies.
