douglas - You are clearly angling for another of your pointless baiting arguments, for your own perverse amusement, to the detriment of the debate as a whole.

I am not interested, so please feel free to go and try and taunt someone else.

Good evening.

:-)

[retrocop]

Yes. You win douglas. Sums it all up.

[andy-hughes]

Goodnight retrocop.

So then we all agree andy-huges is allowed an opinion even though he's wrong.

[Zacs-Master]

Yep, that’s about it.

[andy-hughes]

Fripfrip - You saying I am wrong does not make it so, it's just your view, which is different to mine.

Except mine has documented history on its side.

[Khandro]

andy-hughes; I have to reiterate my previous post.

'Prejudice is a great time saver, you can form opinions without having to study the facts.'

[andy-hughes]

Yes Khandro, I did read it, and yes, it does entirely support your position.

[Zacs-Master]

‘ You saying I am wrong does not make it so’

Doesn’t make it wrong either. Hiding behind opinions instead of facts is shameful.

[andy-hughes]

Zacs, I'm not 'hiding' in any shape or form.

Mr Powell quoted his constituent, whom history has proven wrong, and Mr Powell along with him.

I have no need to 'hide' - history proves my point.

[Zacs-Master]

At least you’ve stopped adding in adjectives when you quote people. Well done on that at least.

[andy-hughes]

I think naomi has as well. Are you sending a 'well done' to her as well?

As usual, when her errors are pointed out, she has absented herself, but she'll be back, and she will never mention it again.
