Indeed - as did I. You can predict where the rudeness or unpleasantness will come from, and you seem to have scored the jackpot from one or two of the usual suspects. Just as a brief aside, I notice the solicitor was complaining that the fine was at the level of the average weekly wage. Surely...

Thank you for that guidance Paul, I did suspect some deletions. I do have strong views and can sometimes be blunt, but I don't think anything I said earlier crossed a boundary within a thread where robust debate is often found. If I have unwittingly offended any forum member, then I do of course...

Much obliged DS. Don't really want to create a fuss though, just worth being aware it can happen I guess.

Looks like posts in this thread have disappeared or been removed. At least one made by me has. Whatever has happened, it has allowed one individual conversation to appear very one-sided. Not good form at all.

You forgot to mention the three grammatical errors....

Ah, that usual trick.... ignore a substantive point and twist someone's words to suit your own agenda. I'm just a thick, Brexit-voting northerner. Typical liberal. Keep it up... :lol:

Ah... Starbucks. The company which pays millions in UK corporation tax and gives jobs to the homeless who sleep outside its stores. Keep it all coming, I've not laughed so much since Del Boy fell behind the bar. :lol:

I'd refer you back to my post number 209. :wink: Now, as I've already said, thank you for the opportunity to respond further, but I've made my point and will now leave it at that.

I haven't read it, which is why I said it may or may not be the case. Generally speaking, the only fact I take for granted in a newspaper is the date. And one of them got that wrong many years ago. :lol:

Oh dear. That may or may not be the case.... but how can I put this gently? Those who throw stones should, perhaps, not inhabit a glass greenhouse. :wink:

Digs (and opinions) work both ways. In this case the 'dig' was specific because the poster concerned has a habit of doubting the education of those voting to leave the EU - and in a slightly unpleasant way. As I mentioned in another thread, there appears to be an increasing disconnect between...

I suspect most educated people will understand the broad point. But I have to tell you that 21,672 does not equal a million. Extra mathematics lessons for you my boy! :lol:

Where were these million signatories when Obama halted the Iraqi refugee programme in 2011? Where were these million signatories when Ken Bigley had his head sliced off? Where were these million signatories when Lee Rigby was murdered on the streets of London? Where were these...

Correct.

Clearly, your struggling with the definition. Let me help: Margaret Thatcher was an economic liberal... :lol:

Yesterday's Sunday Times. I tend not to bother with nonsense such as Twitter.

Breaking News: 63 million didn't sign the petition. The liberals are so desperate they're now trying to throw out fake news stories about what even the royals are supposed to be thinking. All from nameless, unattributable sources of course.... Plenty more toy throwing to come, I have no...

A lot of people have that attitude... what can I do. It's entirely reasonable and understandable, but if you feel really strongly about something there are opportunities open to you. Please don't take this as patronisation because it honestly isn't, but when I was your age there was no such...

Good one, wish I'd thought of that. :lol:

Many of the past generations you refer to experienced tough times too, but you have a broad point; a relatively small group continue to cream off the wealth, power and prospects for themselves. When I felt strongly about something, I got involved with pressure groups. For what it's worth...
