But he's in the public eye...politicians historics are brought up going back further than 9 years, doubt you disagree with that? Some even lose their jobs, they certainly get bad publicity over it...

This could happen in all walks of life. So important kids are educated on this. It will effect Thier jobs in the future. Politicians deserve everything they get though f@#k them

Ridiculous when the leader of the UK and wannabe world bringer of world peace gets away with, gay men 'tank-topped bumboys' and black people 'piccaninnies' with 'watermelon smiles.

There surely has to be some kind of amnesty period for how long someone can be held accountable for stupid shit they posted online when they were like 14 and didn't have the sense to know better.

I remember back like 28 or so years ago when I was 11 and at a youth club, impressionable minds picked up on calling black people by the N word. An older best friend soon enough set me straight on just how terrible it was and I never did it again, but there is so much difference nowadays between when that kind of thing used to happen in private versus the very public world of social media now.

Personally I feel that social media is the devil but unfortunately is indispensable for keeping in touch with some people these days. However the stories of people who are getting lives and careers ruined for something dumb they did like 10+ years ago before they grew up mentally is completely unfair in my opinion.
