Quite,. Investigative journalists hold government to account and contribute a great service to society. Perversely the conspiracist's fruitloop noise actually aids government by making legitimate concerns and criticism look like part of the same continuum

I've never said you had a mental illness, Ive said you have a cognitive disorder in processing information. The failure to understand the difference only makes it more likely Im right. Its either that or you're deliberately malevolent. Only you know the answer.

Another failure to understand what has been said.

He doesn't really have any idea how Government works either. His posts on D notices (now DA notices) a while ago demonstrated that.

As Itaintforever said they probably were covering up something - just not anything to do with her abduction or killing. You have to remember they were all (not just the McCanns) facing the possibility of being charged with child neglect or abandonment for leaving their children unattended. They probably lied to cover up how long they left them for and whether they were sober enough to make good judgements.

I think there i more than a touch of this involved http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Just-world_hypothesis . People aren't good at accepting tragedy without someone to blame. There is also an element of some people wanting more public weeping by the McCanns, the middle class professional stiff upper lip didnt play well with them

Yep, I didn't read his whole post and thought wrongly he had used the shorter misrepresentative version which appeared in the Daily Mail, thereby changing the whole sense of the piece.

....."I don't believe for one minute that Kate and Gerry McCann or their friends are capable or guilty of having murdered the four-year-old. All the criticism of Kate and Gerry and their friends has been completely out of order. They are extremely intelligent and articulate people and, just because they have never visibly cracked in public to the extent that they are beaten, does not mean that they are guilty of anything sinister." Which part of that is not categoric enough for you?

Maybe they've had enough and are thinking of defecting.

If people dont respond to reasonable approaches Im a great believer it treating people exactly the way they treat you. Id buy an old van registered to some made up company and park it repeatedly across their drive. Maybe even follow a couple of the worst offenders home and park across their drive too. After a week of that they'll be ready to negotiate.

No thats not libel. Writing that these people with their lives destroyed are crisis actors, thats libel.

Did they say what the scores would be?

again

Yep. He thinks the forum is infested with paid government spies, 'shills' sent to disrupt his truth seeking discussions. I'd be furious given the budget deficit as it is.

Can't understand why Barclays dont realise their brand would be better served by a really nice trophy with more subtle logo than an ugly monstrosity. They look even worse from the back its just hollow vacuum formed plastic

Don't think Big Kat was there.

Doesn't it prove the opposite - that the club is largely irrelevant. You're more likely to get picked if your playing for a team in top three or four and ignored if you're mid table.

Thats the root of it. In your head fearless truth seeker Pap wins again. To everybody else its just another self induced car crash.

Doesnt aluminium actually burn, so makes the fire worse instead of containing it like steel?

Exactly. Some lines seem to attract that 'sort'. Years ago when i was at university in Brighton I used to work the bar in two separate five star hotels - the Grand and what was then the Ramada Renaissance. The Ramada was a joy to work at, both the clientele and the management were friendly and you could engage with them on an equal basis and the food was superb. It attracted people who were relaxed about money and 'position'. The Grand by contrast was stuffy, full of condescending mostly not terribly bright people who had saved up to come to the Grand once a month, eat overpriced schools dinners and be snitty to the staff.

I dont know why people are so snobby about cruises - whether cruisers thinking they are a cut above everybody else or others thinking big ship cruisers have got no class for choosing the 'wrong' kind of ship. Im not sure whats aesthetically superior about visiting the Uffizi or Venice in August with herds of other tourists. Personally I like to travel around whilst on holiday and cruises are perfect if you are holidaying with kids or elderly parents. Last year a weeks cruise for three people taking in Tampa (Florida), Cozumel and Cost Maya (Mexico), Belize, Roatan (Honduras) and the Cayman Islands in a big cabin with huge balcony and all entertainment and meals included cost me £1,450 total (around £480 each). My kids said it was the best thing they've ever done, and thats good enough for me.

Pap everyone here already knows you're a chippy narcissistic dwarf. No need for constant reminders. Ive had several opportunities to leave the NGO job I do now and go and work in low carbon financing in the city. Anyone one of those offers would have made me a millionaire in three to four years. I choose not to because I enjoy what I do and don't need more money than Ive got. Brand has made choices at odds with his espoused values. You're the one who looks up to him, probably because you have similar a lack of mental clarity. Ive just got contempt.

Remploy was the proper solution
