Semantics mate. In your world, that's the same is saying it. Silly isn't it. An apology would be gracious.

Semantics, behave. If you agree with something Robinson says it's not you saying it. Jesus wept. When you're not ignoring questions you're either posting nonsense, making stuff up, or passing one person's comment off as anothers. Debate sensibly or stop wasting people's time.

I'm not Badger poppet.

If they jumped the queue I might, but I haven't called him a cunt.

As I said, if I was interested or the bloke was vaguely relevant to me, I'd investigate further. He's just another bloke, and his life experiences, opinions, family history, etc, is as relevant to me as those of the bloke in front of me in the queue at the petrol station. If you're interested in a nobody, crack on, but don't expect me or others to take an interest just because you do. Utterly pointless discussion tbh.

It's reasonable to form a view from commentary alone that the bloke is obnoxious and doesn't stand for what I do. If I was interested and/or the bloke was vaguely relevant to me I'd investigate further, but I'm not and he isn't. It's no more complicated than that.

Only Fools, Auf wiedersehen pet, minder, sopranos. In more modern times, breaking bad, Yellowstone, slow horses.

That's a better way of putting it.

Because I don't want to, don't have to, and mainly because he's just a bloke with opinions. What Farage, Starmer, Trump, etc say matters, not some bloke who seems to influence thick people.

You're becoming a bit of a prick mate. I don't read the guardian, that's not my politics, and highlights your daft view that anyone to the left of you is a raving leftie. No, I haven't read their backgrounds, and don't have to. I judge them by their actions, not their stated views and intentions.

Very topical. Good lad. 🤱🌟

FFS, I feel such a bigot now.

Yep. I'm pleased to say that I haven't read or listened to anything from bloke. He's just another noisy mouthpiece.

I once had man flu, and multi tasked whilst suffering. Women only do one thing when popping a baby out.

Indeed. This is the way it's going. People with right leaning views are trying to argue that anything to the left of their outlook is far left. It's absolute nonsense, and through design or fault it's making the political debate US like, ie right versus left but with centrist views being lumped in with left leaning views. To be fair, I'm also hearing people with right or right ish leaning views being described as fascists, so the stupidity and ignorance is widespread.

Ha! The cardiac consultant told me that most people have never had actual flu. Colds and sniffles only. Flu made covid look like nothing. So yeah, no sympathy.

Yep. Missed it once. Got proper flu, then pneumonia, several spells in hospital. Horrible experience. Haven't missed a flu jab since.

Yep. AA is our striker and Archer is back up. We're scoring for fun and won't waste money on anyone else. I'm not sure we'll bring anyone else in.

That's a terrible point. People holding views is completely different to people making threats and inciting violence viewable by the world at large.

I answered your point. You replied with a laughing emoji. No answer= hide, laugh, and stamp feet. I'm not on the left though.

1. Joey Barton. 2. 15 years ago people didn't post death threats to brown people on the web, rape threats to women, etc. 3. Etc.

We have free speech Nic. Fortunately we also have an increased intolerance for nasty bastards who go over the top and down the otherside. We also have people who are too thick (and usually bigoted) to understand the difference. I cast no aspersions of course.
