The homeless guy that he loved and cared for so much who died outside a Tube station near parliament was a twice deported Portuguese pedophile who was here illegally. Wanted to give him a house apparently... Source? I’m guessing the Mail or the Express. After all, you can’t libel the dead so he’s f...

Seems reasonable.

I know which has done more damage to the UK, and it’s not Hamas or Hezbollah.

Just never got into it, although I tried my best. I think I watched 3 or 4 seasons before I gave up.

As per the OP, I recognise that it’s probably great TV, it just didn’t do anything for me.

How on earth did a thread discussing an article on an online gambling website regarding a Burnley cult hero degenerate into two or more posters hurling insults, demeaning remarks and political namecalling at each other?

Not an issue, but not sure there's a need to advertise it as "the first super hero film to have an all black cast You are pointing these things out to children and making them seem there is a problem with it and it is "different I've never seen a film production mention the casts colour of skin so ...

I'm expecting some slagging off for posting this but is it only me that finds the all black star cast quite offensive. I don't watch films and couldn't care less what colour the actors are. When I used to watch films a lot, most of my favourites like Lethal Weapon and 24 hours had a mix and I never...

Really? Is that the only way you can tell when people are wound up on here? What about when people pick up on things posters do, when the crux of their argument is something that you disagree with? It probably wasn’t a fully exhaustive list of ways you can tell people are angry on the internet, but...

At this time last night in post #7 I posted some facts and figures about trade in the NW, demonstrating that if the figures refer to a drop in GDP they are cobblers (various high profile MPs have been tweeting this drop in GDP so there is a common assumption it is that, though I suspect it is actua...

This thread has gone a bit spiteful hasn't it. Ringo must really get some of you lot fuming You accuse people of being angry a lot.

So, what's wrong in simply doing a Google search looking for something that summarises what I'm thinking.

I presume a “sandal wearer” is someone who is left wing / liberal / progressive. Why would that type hate Barnes? I consider myself to be all of the above, and I lov...

Yep - that’s definitely the important thing to take away from this story.

How do you suggest we deal with this scourge of Muslim prison gangs attacking defenceless white terrorists in jails?

Greenmile

ClaretMoffitt wrote:Ok.

Do I care? No.

(edit- I do actually, because of the tax costs of protection over a 43 year period.)

Would you care if he was an Islamic terrorist facing the same situation? Again, no.

Is that better?

Much better. Thanks.

(I presume your edit would apply to both scenarios.)

It is, if that’s how long it takes for them to realise they were wrong.

Of course, it’s different if they knew they were wrong all along but said it anyway, but I don’t get that impression with Ringo.

Greenmile

It's a fair question Greenmile. If I was dealing with rational, objective, unbiased, fair minded, non partisan people I wouldn't have to. But a relatively tiny number of posters prefer the faux semantics and technicalities approach. And it's revealing is it not? That, in the above quotation from yo...

Honest question Ringo. Do you ever look through this sort of thread and think “hang on, almost everyone is telling me I’m wrong here. Maybe I should look back at what I’ve written to see if I’ve explained myself properly or maybe made a mistake”? There’s nothing wrong with clarifying a point - eg “w...

I’m sure you can find loads of Leave campaigners saying the exact opposite, but that just shows that no one really knew exactly what type of Brexit they were voting for (or against). This is Gove confirming we leave the single market. https://www.ft.com/content/0c5c74bc-151e-11e6-b197-a4af20d5575e ...

Looks like you didn’t dare say it, Lancs

...However, the 52% of British folk who voted Leave did so, undeniably, to leave the single market and customs union. Both sides campaigners spelt that very fact out at the time. We can argue about buses and Treasury negativity, but those two statements were made clearly by all main players for all...

What Gove actually said was "we don't need experts to tell explain what sovereignty is" He was right. Doesn't stop people partly misquoting him to suit their agenda though I guess..... Not sure where you got your quote from (he may have said that as well), but Gove’s full “experts” quote was ... “"...

Thanks Greenmile.
