Yes finally, nice to have some level of opposition. Just wait for the snap General Election, that will make this interesting... I wonder exactly what the will of the Labour Party is about now

The only way that the Government can guarantee access to the single market is by staying in the EU. It is down to 27 other countries what kind of deal we get and PM May can hold as many cards to her chest as she wants but the EU position will be to do what is best for the remaining 27 countries. Boris Johnson was always wrong when he said that we could be outside of the EU and paying £350,000,000 a week to the NHS and still be freely trading with the EU.

Jeremy Corbyn is showing his own ignorance by making such statements.

I have said all along that I don't believe that we will ultimately leave the EU because to leave will cause avoidable and unnecessary financial turmoil. As that financial crisis starts to unfold after the signing of A50, more and more people will question why we are still walking towards the fire.

The public (37%, though it would be less now) voted to leave the eu. They did not necessary vote to leave the single market.

Those who voted Remain did want to stay in the single market. Most people who didn't vote at all want to stay in the single market.

65% of labour supporters voted to stay in the single market.

Corbyn is most certainly representing the majority of the country and his supporters.

But even if he was not, he has a duty to represent his constituents by exercising his own judgement, not theirs. That is true of every mp.

The living God and most Omnipotent supreme leader of the angry Brigades (Nige to his friends) has even told all of his sheep that the referendum was advisory. Even he knows that the people have only given Parliament a message that 17,000,000 of the population of 65,000,000 are upset/annoyed with foreigners (either coming here or making our laws).

It is now down to Parliament to bring the country back together and move forwards in a conciliatory way that will inevitably involve compromises.

We ought to have learned from history that narrow victories in legal, commercial and political disputes as well as in conflicts and war never end well unless there is conciliatory action at the end. To move forwards effectively the concerns and fears that caused the defeated opponent to engage in the conflict in the first place have to be addressed.

I think you will find that what was said is that Labour may oppose the triggering of article 50 if they are not satisfied with the governments Brexit proposals.

Does anyone think that is wrong? It strikes me as a common sense approach to take to an issue of such vital national importance. Of course it will do nothing to help Tory party unity, but considering that the eaton posh boys split the country in furtherance of a private power struggle I am all in favour of the tories tearing themselves totally apart.

JC has played a blinder! He has allowed the Tories to dig themselves a government breaking hole and has delivered what will with hindsight be seen as a killing blow to this government. A bit like Geoffrey Howe's resignation speach in 1990.

You think he is showing his ignorance?

I think he is showing full appreciation and surprising political skill.

Whatever the Brexiters now say about the Leave campaign being clear that voting Leave meant leaving the single market, they weren't. They tried to pretend we could have it all ways.

And theoretically it is still possible. So Corbyn is saying if we get that he will back leaving. We all know the three Brexiters won't get it so he is effectively settling for remaining in the EU, but the Tories are caught by their own lies. Corbyn meanwhile is more or less being consistent with his 7/10 mark for the EU because there were some bad things he'd like to get out from but overall on balance more to keep us in.

Just exactly which Tory MPs have announced publicly that they will not support the government when it comes to a vote on triggering Article 50 over the weekend? That Tory majority is looking shakier by the day...

Now a month ago when I said that there would be a constitutional crisis that would force an early general election I was told that I was an idiot, in fact one (now departed) forumite was so derisory they started a game (what was it called?) to keep up the happy BREXIT japes. Do those of you still here still think I am an idiot who does not know what I am talking about? And are you all still sure that May will be PM till May 2020, or are any of you thinking that maybe May and her shower of far right divisive thieves are on the way out?

How will May call a general election?

The fixed term parliament act means she can't without a 2/3 vote in parliament. She won't get that unless labour thînk they can win power. I suspect most labour mp's right now would expect to lose their seats, given the state of their party.

May's only other option would be to declare a vote of no confidence in herself, which would be too humiliating wouldn't it? And maybe not winnable.

His policies are good on the whole and he has always been a good principled MP.

He is not great at making life difficult for the government unless it's his own party in power though. He's missed quite a few opportunities to skewer this inept shower over the last year.

"I suspect most labour mp's right now would expect to lose their seats, given the state of their party."

The only division in the Labour party is between the members (who are the party) and the majority of the PLP and national executive committee of the labour party who seem to believe that we are their to serve them rather than they to implement the members will. It is fair to say that there is a deep and growing anger amongst party members about how the PLP and NEC have been acting and unless MPs and the NEC start implementing our will we will remove them. In fact it has already started and many MPs (mine included) now understand that any more attempts to undermine the party will will result in their deselection and expulsion from the party.


"He is not great at making life difficult for the government unless it's his own party in power though. He's missed quite a few opportunities to skewer this inept shower over the last year. "

Really?

You must have been watching a different JC to me. Because the one I have been watching has quietly refused to participate in the and therefore give gravitas to the cheap playground bully-boy tactics displayed by most and especially caMoron at the dispatch box. He also refused to buy into the project fear tactics of the tory funded Remain campaign, as a result he obeyed a cardinal rule in combat (politics is a form of combat) and did not interrupt his adversary as he committed political suicide, he even sat quietly while caMoron made his "For pities sake Go Man, GO!" resignation speech. Thus allowing the government and tory party to continue its very real delusional meltdown that has led to a ruling that Ms May has to get parliamentary approval to trigger Article 50.

At the same time this was going on he successfully used the same tactics to see off an internal coup by the PLP while increasing his mandate.

Then out of nowhere after tory MPs go on record to say that they will vote against triggering Article 50 JC makes another very reasonable statement that changes Ms May and the governments position from extremely difficult to near impossible.

Remembering he as managed all the above while under well orchestrated media black propaganda attack, I for one would describe what he has managed to do as spectacular. Either he has a deep understanding of Sun Tzu and its application to politics or of boxing and how to 'rope a dope'.

One way or another I doubt that we will be hearing many more briefings against JC from within the PLP and I expect that he will be treated with a lot more respect in the house by Ms May and her chums from now on.

Let's be honest here , most people who voted out didn't give a second thought to free trade ect , they simply wanted to control immigration or stop it .

I voted out as I believe no other country should make laws for us .

But I do except the fact that a lot if people simply thought if we voted out it would mean less immigration .

There is a lot of that I agree with. I don't know how good a leader JC could be and I put much of that and the lack of opposition to the government more at the door of the PLP than Corbyn, but Corbyn is not blameless.

He hasn't been savvy. I like his decency. I hope and think it is a long term strategy that might work. But he needs smarter people around him who know how to get his message across and work the media.

He is limited in his choices, but fucking hell, Diane Abbott as shadow Home Secretary???

Have to say I agree, the Labour party are frankly irrelevant now. Theresa May's government have an 18 point lead over Labour in the polls. If Theresa May calls a general election it will be a landslide victory for her Conservative party (and Brexit).

Jeremy Corbyn a good principled MP??? You've got to be having a laugh.

Corbyn is a Euroscepic and opposed EU membership for decades. As George Galloway pointed out during the referendum campaign "Corbyn stood right next to me in the anti EU lobbies in Parliament in the 1970's, 1980's, 1990's and 2000's". In fact Corbyn took an anti EU stance right up until the point he became leader of the labour party. Corbyn is a sell out who turned his back on his principles.

Corbyn was and is opposed to some things about the EU and in favour of others. That's why he only gave it 7/10.

Can you only see everything as black and white?

In any case, you can be in favour of leaving and forming a revised relationship with some key foundations but against leaving without out them.

You can certainly be against leaving without any fucking realistic plan whatsoever, which is what this government have.

Actually it has already had an effect. Co-operative projects have already been stalling, british involvement put on hold.

You see Science is the perfect example of what is wrong with right wing politics and economics. It is about cooperation, sharing. It is about, usually, state funding and often Unintended consequensces. The private sector won't do that. They have narrow focus.

50% of the growth of the USA economy post war has been attributed to technological advances.

Something like 27% of all modern everyday essential inventions came from the UK which is astonishing.

The fucking brexiters like yourself don't even appreciate how important our science is and don't understand how cooperation internationally is essential.

Your irresponsible myopia is leading to us getting froze out, funding stretched and you are so afraid of people who are a different colour or language you are refusing to exempt overseas students from the stupid fucking migration quota limit of 100,000.

The Leave campaign didn't even address this issue. The government still haven't announced even this part of a plan.

It is hard to overstate how imbecilic Vote Leave and UKIP are.

So thank your lucky stars those who voted Remain are fighting hard because we may just get this part of the fiasco rescued.

Those of us who voted to leave the federation of communist dinosaurs, sorry I meant the EU, will continue to fight to ensure that the result of the referendum is honoured. The pathetic yet constant whinging by the losers who voted to remain hasn't changed what the majority have always believed. As decided millions of years by movement of the tectonic plates, Britain and Europe should be separated.

We won't stop, and if the politicians believe that buying time and working on the public with their bullshit propaganda, that they can dilute our message then they are wrong.

What is now occurring is that a new movement is building. It has yet to be given a name, but as politicians and corrupt legal big wigs are attempting to nullify our referenda victory, alliances are being built between likeminded people who are starting to become alarmed that our BREXIT might never happen.

From what I have been told so far, I'm a little bit worried that the government will call for martial law. Something that they have been preparing for for some time now.

"Actually it has already had an effect. Co-operative projects have already been stalling, british involvement put on hold.

You see Science is the perfect example of what is wrong with right wing politics and economics. It is about cooperation, sharing. It is about, usually, state funding and often Unintended consequensces. The private sector won't do that. They have narrow focus.

50% of the growth of the USA economy post war has been attributed to technological advances.

Something like 27% of all modern everyday essential inventions came from the UK which is astonishing.

The fucking brexiters like yourself don't even appreciate how important our science is and don't understand how cooperation internationally is essential.

Your irresponsible myopia is leading to us getting froze out, funding stretched and you are so afraid of people who are a different colour or language you are refusing to exempt overseas students from the stupid fucking migration quota limit of 100,000.

The Leave campaign didn't even address this issue. The government still haven't announced even this part of a plan.

It is hard to overstate how imbecilic Vote Leave and UKIP are.

So thank your lucky stars those who voted Remain are fighting hard because we may just get this part of the fiasco rescued. "

Some pretty wild and completely false assumptions you are making about Leave voters there. As someone else just said "do you actually read what you write?" before you hit the post button?

Oh yes, that wonderful post saying that young immigrants were better news for the UK than a bunch of 60 year olds draining the NHS. Real class act you aye?

I simply point out that said 60 year olds were not actually draining something that they had been paying in to all their working lives, and you come back with? - Wait for it - that I didn't understand what you had actually posted...

One thing I don't doubt is that the politicians will negate the referendum if they possibly can, including Theresa May they cannot be trusted.

If this happens there will be trouble, much more than the poll tax ever caused.

You just repeated that post, yet see no wrong in it?

You are trying to say that these wonderful "young migrants" are paying for the healthcare of 60 year old "UK residents."

I'm saying that you are talking poop, because the said 60 year olds have already paid for their healthcare. Unlike said migrants, who despite their younger age will still require healthcare.

So not only are your comments crass and insulting to Britain's elderly, they are also totally inaccurate.

No doubt you will fail to understand this, and so to use your own intellectual terminology (lol), perhaps you are the "doofus" here.

A lot to tackle here so for now, due to lack of time I'll just sort out the migrant/60 year olds using the NHS.

The thread was on immigrants coming over here taking from us, not contributing etc etc.

People are net contributors to the system when they are paying taxes in and not using resources. When we are young we use the education system but we are not earning, not paying taxes in to the system. For most of our working life we pay in and because we are young and healthy we don't use the nhs as much. The dynamic changes as we reach pensionable age.

We are an ageing population. That costs.

The migrants tend not to be children or 60 year olds coming over to use the NHS. They are young, motivated, hard working net contributors. They add to society not take away. We need them.

The poster in question misunderstood or wilfully misrepresented my posts several times, used personally directed insulting language, got himself banned - twice - and had a thread deleted.

Then put more misrepresentations of my views on another thread that got closed before I could respond.

So he now has his response.

At no point did I suggest uk citizens are not entitled to use the NHS. I even put it in capitals.

However you still referred to 60 year olds as being a drain on the NHS which is pretty insultung to say the least .

In any event unless the young migrants to which you refer only stay for a comparatively short period of time they will also become elderly and use the NHS . Would you ( to use your terminology ) also consider them to be a drain on the NHS.

You might also bear in mind that a section of the elderly ( or their estates ) pay inheritance tax and probably pay in more than they take out .

Not all migrants are net contributors . On a percentage basis you will find that migrants from certain regions are over represented as a percent of the prison population.

It is possible that inmigration in limited numbers and of the right type of pwrson may bring short term benefits to the economy .

However if there are other underlying issues such as failure to train sufficient members of the current uk population in key skilled areas , we should be addressing these issues , not relying on imported labour to provide a temporary solution .

however its worded the over 60's are the demographic that are the ones using more resources of the NHS and social care, that's borne out by the Kings fund etc..

its not rocket science, as we all get older we will by and large have more health issue's..

"however its worded the over 60's are the demographic that are the ones using more resources of the NHS and social care, that's borne out by the Kings fund etc..

its not rocket science, as we all get older we will by and large have more health issue's..

"

...and as pensioners we will all have paid more into the system throughout our working lives than any other section of society.

"A lot to tackle here so for now, due to lack of time I'll just sort out the migrant/60 year olds using the NHS.

The thread was on immigrants coming over here taking from us, not contributing etc etc.

People are net contributors to the system when they are paying taxes in and not using resources. When we are young we use the education system but we are not earning, not paying taxes in to the system. For most of our working life we pay in and because we are young and healthy we don't use the nhs as much. The dynamic changes as we reach pensionable age.

We are an ageing population. That costs.

The migrants tend not to be children or 60 year olds coming over to use the NHS. They are young, motivated, hard working net contributors. They add to society not take away. We need them.

The poster in question misunderstood or wilfully misrepresented my posts several times, used personally directed insulting language, got himself banned - twice - and had a thread deleted.

Then put more misrepresentations of my views on another thread that got closed before I could respond.

So he now has his response.

At no point did I suggest uk citizens are not entitled to use the NHS. I even put it in capitals.

However you still referred to 60 year olds as being a drain on the NHS which is pretty insultung to say the least .

In any event unless the young migrants to which you refer only stay for a comparatively short period of time they will also become elderly and use the NHS . Would you ( to use your terminology ) also consider them to be a drain on the NHS.

You might also bear in mind that a section of the elderly ( or their estates ) pay inheritance tax and probably pay in more than they take out .

My post did not refer to 60 year old uk citizens as a drain, but a largely mythical 60 year old immigrant, who therefore had never contributed to the services of this country via taxation, as a drain.

I've dragged the thread off topic so won't respond to the other points re immigration.

My apologies.

At least they have come up with a Leave plan/strategy.

The Tories haven't even though it was their idea to have a referendum and UKIP haven't worked out any actual details even though this was there entire reason for existence. In 25 years you'd think they'd have actually given it some thought and come up with a plan. Then again they can't even agree which prominent member punched who or find anyone who wants to lead that bunch.

You started a thread about this so you tell us all, is the Labour party support for triggering article 50 unconditional now or does it come with conditions like staying a member of the single market? It seems the labour party themselves don't know, maybe you can shed some light on it for us?

It still remains a highly offensive comment to state that the over 60s are a drain on the NHS . More to the point the poster made no attempt to explain why he considered them to be a drain on the NHS when compared to the amount that they have paid in taxes over a lifetime .

The issue of funding and health care of the elderly is one of the serious issues that society faces especially with the break down in family structure and people living longer.

However there can never be any justification for using the terminology which the poster used and I consider it to be an offensive and highly obectionable remark to state that over 60s are a drain on the NHS..

That is a good question.

Corbyn is distinguishing Labour from the Lib Dems and Owen Smiths approach to ignore/reverse the vote.

They will not oppose leaving the EU.

There vision is to leave the EU but retain full access to the single market, retain workers rights, not put unrealistic quotas on immigration but work with Europe to address these concerns across the other EU countries.

"

But It says on sky news now a Labour party source close to Corbyn says it's support for leaving the EU is unconditional. That means no strings attached, no conditions to meet, which means your OP about staying in the single market was frankly a load of bollocks.

Yes, THAT does.

Makes me look pretty stupid.

However do you really believe it can be conditional when Corbyn has listed conditions and said he will oppose the government if they don't have these aims?

For me he is trying to say that these are not only the aims the government should have, he believes they are the aims the government will have.

Davis and Bojo, based on their utterances on trade deal wish lists, certainly would like that full single market access. Clearly from her pre referendum private speech to Goldman Sachs, the single market full access is a major wish for Teresa May too.

The problem for them is, at least in Davis and Mays case (boris has no real conviction on anything beyond what is politically expedient as far as I can see) they are very keen on damaging our econo er I mean cracking down on immigration.

So unless a unique solution to that can be found, it will require a choice.

I think if the Tories choose immigration control over single market Labour will oppose.

What do you think?

I am certain that you are quite capable of looking up the statistics and analysing them yourself .

If the statistics are quoted some people become offended , make accusations of racism and complain non stop.

Interestingly you do not require other members to name the source of their opinions .

If you are that desperate for the source buy a newspaper each day and you will be kept informed.

It is difficult to see how there can be any correlation between restricting immigration and damage to the economy .

Both of the MPs to which you refer are exceptionally capable politicans and I am certain beyond all manner of doubt that neither of them would take any measure to damage the economy .

It is difficult to see how uncontrolled immigration can bring any long term benefit to the UK economy. Even people of non UK origin support inmigration control.

Where we have labour issues the solution is not to import cheap labour but to tackle the underlying issues. i.e. greater training , automation and analysing if all the tasks undertaken are actually necessary.

It seems to me that you are very ill informed . In any event youv know nothing about the individuals with whom I either mix with or work with on a daily basis .

Strangely none have ever complained about my attitude of how I treat them. That might be because I treat everyone with respect .

The same can hardly be said about you . You refer to posters comments as Tosh and make assumptions about them despite knowing nothing about their background .

I do however accept that people with your attitude will always exist .

Hopefully I will never have to resort to calling other posters comments Tosh or make ill informed comments about whether someone dislikes immigrants .

As ever , comments of this nature are a reflection on the poster of the comment are not the recipient .

I consider some of your comments just to be blatant bullying .

it seems to me that once again you are stating something negative about migrants and when asked to clarify your source you then duck it by saying 'you look it up', its your statement you said it so own it and back it up else its just an opinion..

you have previous of doing similar again with migrants and then downplaying what you stated to the point where it was only an opinion and then bleating on other threads that anyone who questions your point of view is narrow minded..

if your so sensitive then either don't state facts then fail to back them up when reasonably asked where you get them from..

ducking and diving and whining that your being bullied, please..

its a public forum and if anyone states something that other's deem to be derogatory they are entitled to question said, in fact you do it often so merely apply the same standards to your own input as you expect others to do with theirs maybe..

also one can reasonably call another posters tosh on the basis that what they have posted is tosh without wanting to or indeed being interested in whom they know or their background, lets be honest one can lie about such things..

open and public discourse is not bullying, if you feel it is then drop an email to the mods perhaps..

playing the 'I'm being picked upon because someone reasonably expects me to validate my statement on a public forum and I wont or cant do so' is an interesting slant..

to add, debate is healthy and whilst some of us will never agree with another's position we can by engaging in debate on a subject at least agree to disagree on the specific issue.

When the debate ends up being stifled by one party not wanting to address area's they have stated and other's have challenged but then they the one statin x, or z ducks the issue or wont continue to engage then that's not conducive to debate..

sometimes by knowing where we all differ or stand on a particular subject we can as individuals begin to get to understand the other party and maybe by knowing such things and putting that one thing to one side we can either break down the differences..

You do all know he has changed his mind again!

The day after the referendum he said we should trigger article 50 "immediately".

Then he said labour would vote against it.

Now he is saying they won't......he really does know what he's doing!

I can only re iterate that it is only a bully will refer to another members post as tosh . I prefer to treat people with respect . Posters only use terms such as tosh if they have nothing constructive to say ,

There is no requirement to quote the source of documentation on any post .

Some posters quote so much source documentation that their posts are nothing short of boring and in any event who would ever check back to the original source .

The source documentation concerning prisoners was readily available for you to see had you wanted to check it out . I am certain that you are capable of using google search . If it helps all the relevant information was published in a National newspaper . I did not even express an opinion on the article , I simply made a statement of fact concerning certain percentages .

To make a statement that someone does not like immigrants without providing one single piece of evidence is hardly either good manners or acceptable . You have no knowledge of either my background or with whom I mix .

Probably because I treat everyone with whom I come into contact fairly , I have no need to be censured by individuals such as yourself .

I work full time in a multi culture office and in addition run a small business . Many of the contacts in this business are of non UK origin and in some cases the relation with them has lasted in excess of ten years . They are educated professional people and would not accept the type of behaviour which you are insinuating .

It may come as a surprise to you that some people of non UK origin also support border controls .

"The response to Mrs May on her trade trip to India over the weekend was interesting (Incidentally, why us she even there...where are her assigned trade ministers?)......India was quite clear to May that any significant future trade deals MUST include provision for increased movement of people into the UK."

MP Liam Fox international trade secretary went with Theresa May to India (he was clearly shown exiting the plane with her when they arrived in India on the news).

No explanation as to why you think it was a fiasco then? No evidence and no substance to what you say just empty rhetoric.

Not according to David Cameron, he said to leave the EU means we also leave the single market. He said it on national television more than once during the months of the referendum. Where were you at the time, I'm amazed if you didn't see it?

"That is a good question.

Corbyn is distinguishing Labour from the Lib Dems and Owen Smiths approach to ignore/reverse the vote.

They will not oppose leaving the EU.

There vision is to leave the EU but retain full access to the single market, retain workers rights, not put unrealistic quotas on immigration but work with Europe to address these concerns across the other EU countries.

But It says on sky news now a Labour party source close to Corbyn says it's support for leaving the EU is unconditional. That means no strings attached, no conditions to meet, which means your OP about staying in the single market was frankly a load of bollocks. "

Turns out the Labour party 'source' close to Corbyn who said Labour support for leaving the EU is 'unconditional' was the deputy leader Tom Watson.

He was certainly technically incorrect.

However the important thing is that he was responding to the misleading impression Leave Campaigns were fostering that the trading part of our relationship with Europe AND be able to stop the free movement of labour.

The £350m was a lie. It was factually incorrect about something that was already happening and measurable.

As for Cameron, the issue of immigration control became the main topic of conversation at various times in the election.

So if Cameron's comments were in that context ie if the primary aim of leaving the EU was to restrict the freedom of movement, then it does almost certainly mean we would have to leave the single market. That's not really a lie. Some Leave campaigners suggested we could get our own unique deal however.

But it is wrong to say that leaving the EU absolutely means leaving the single market because there are several countries, such as Norway and Switzerland, who are part og the single market and not part of the EU.

Maybe I should remind you that this is a public forum where everyone expresses opinions which is what one expects .

However referring to a posters post as tosh on a number of different occasions without any valid reason or explanation is

simply displaying ignorance and a lack of manners .

Many posters disagree with my posts ( which is to be expected as it is a debating forum ) . However none of them have referred to a post as being tosh .

There is generally a nasty undertone to your comment when you reply to my post whether it is in the political forum or any other unrelated topic .

I don't have any real issue with a post being referred to as tosh or nasty comments being made as these are a reflection on the author of the post , not the recipient .

I prefer to be an individual who achieves things in life - not someone who creates problems . In one recent comment on the health service , part of the content of the post is now being implemented but you still saw fit to describe it as tosh . On another post you referred to me as being naïve and proceeded to list numerous cases . In this case I had vast experience in the area concerned ( which was a highly specialised topic ) but you still saw fit to use the term naïve . In another post you seemed to think that there imply that there was no need investigate the use of / misuse of mobility allowances / vehicles . This is another area of special interest to me as I provide and have done for the last 26 years extensive assistance to someone who is disabled .

I can however accept that all of the above relate to a lack of manners and an attempt to bully .

What I do not accept is that you have any right to state that I ( referring to me ) do not like foreigners .

You were unable to produce any evidence to attempt to justify this opinion . I consider your opinion on this occasion to be that of a zealot and of someone who is both pious and self righteous .

You for reasons best known to yourself seem to think the people of non UK origin are unable to express opinions themselves and resort to doing it yourself on their behalf . I consider such an attitude to be both patronising and condescending .

While I should not be required to defend my position on an internet forum , I will re state for your benefit that I mix with people of non UK origin every day both at work and in relation to a small business which I run .

Maybe because I mix with these people on a day to day basis I am better placed to comment on some of the topics than you are .

To conclude I have never resorted to referring to anyones post as being tosh

Use of such a word displays a lack of self control and an inability to express a valid point .

Making personal comments about a poster ( and especially without knowing anything about the posters background ) is of course completely unacceptable .

Even after I explained in detail the people with whom I mixed on a day to day basis you simply said that I might be making that up .

The point of these forums is to allow members to express an opinion , not to make either derogatory or untrue accusations .

You were unable to produce any evidence to attempt to justify this opinion . I consider your opinion on this occasion to be that of a zealot and of someone who is both pious and self righteous .

You for reasons best known to yourself seem to think the people of non UK origin are unable to express opinions themselves and resort to doing it yourself on their behalf . I consider such an attitude to be both patronising and condescending .

While I should not be required to defend my position on an internet forum , I will re state for your benefit that I mix with people of non UK origin every day both at work and in relation to a small business which I run .

Maybe because I mix with these people on a day to day basis I am better placed to comment on some of the topics than you are .

To conclude I have never resorted to referring to anyones post as being tosh

Use of such a word displays a lack of self control and an inability to express a valid point .

Making personal comments about a poster ( and especially without knowing anything about the posters background ) is of course completely unacceptable .

Even after I explained in detail the people with whom I mixed on a day to day basis you simply said that I might be making that up .

The point of these forums is to allow members to express an opinion , not to make either derogatory or untrue accusations .

"

several of the 'examples' you refer to are frankly not known to me so either provide a link on here lest they look a bit like lies..

its only since the politics forum was started that I have after asking you to validate such claims by a source or point to refer to which you patently and consistently avoid..

Even down to saying you look it up, again as you are diverting from this point when you state something as a fact on an open and public forum you either back it up yourself or it has no credibility..

saying to others who seek where you are getting your facts from is a cop out and as you keep doing it then yes I am comfortable in saying where relevant that such a claim is tosh..

when an opinion is an opinion then fine, but what you do is start it as a fact and the change it to 'its my opinion' so it cant be challenged..

not foreigners Pat, migrants and in particular where you said that you knew that migrants do not contribute to their local economy which anyone with any sense knows is rubbish..

your inference was that they send all their money home, when asked how you knew this you went down your route of diminishing validation till it was your opinion and that you know many of them..

you were comparing them to Brits working in the middle east and you also said you know how they spend their money too, amazing that you know all these people..

you then state again migrants Pat not 'foreign' from a region then changed to a country are amongst one of the biggest percentages of inmates in our prisons..

when asked what the source is you reply by saying look it up..

again your 'facts', you validate them or they are tosh..

and as the only commonality with such things is migrants what does one garner from that..

people seeing derogatory comments toward one grouping by one individual will only rightly assume that the individual has a prejudice..

if I have referred to you as naïve that is based on your posts on here which I'm probably not alone in thinking however that can be said for many of us myself included so it goes with the territory..

and stop talking bollocks about lack of control in the use of a word, show some control of your own point of view and validate what you state are facts maybe..

I would suggest that we will not agree on this so perhaps we can agree to disagree and leave it at that..

Well how many world leaders publicly said it was a bad idea to leave, and how many publicly said it was a good idea?

Not one said it was a good idea to leave.

Except Putin."

"to add, debate is healthy and whilst some of us will never agree with another's position we can by engaging in debate on a subject at least agree to disagree on the specific issue.

When the debate ends up being stifled by one party not wanting to address area's they have stated and other's have challenged but then they the one statin x, or z ducks the issue or wont continue to engage then that's not conducive to debate..

sometimes by knowing where we all differ or stand on a particular subject we can as individuals begin to get to understand the other party and maybe by knowing such things and putting that one thing to one side we can either break down the differences..

just a thought..

I can only re iterate that it is only a bully will refer to another members post as tosh . I prefer to treat people with respect . Posters only use terms such as tosh if they have nothing constructive to say ,

There is no requirement to quote the source of documentation on any post .

Some posters quote so much source documentation that their posts are nothing short of boring and in any event who would ever check back to the original source .

The source documentation concerning prisoners was readily available for you to see had you wanted to check it out . I am certain that you are capable of using google search . If it helps all the relevant information was published in a National newspaper . I did not even express an opinion on the article , I simply made a statement of fact concerning certain percentages .

To make a statement that someone does not like immigrants without providing one single piece of evidence is hardly either good manners or acceptable . You have no knowledge of either my background or with whom I mix .

Probably because I treat everyone with whom I come into contact fairly , I have no need to be censured by individuals such as yourself .

I work full time in a multi culture office and in addition run a small business . Many of the contacts in this business are of non UK origin and in some cases the relation with them has lasted in excess of ten years . They are educated professional people and would not accept the type of behaviour which you are insinuating .

It may come as a surprise to you that some people of non UK origin also support border controls .

more tosh eh..

with hindsight I withdraw that, bit flippant..

the logic I think your using is that if someone where to state that all landlords were rachmanesque tyrants who let their tenants live in complete hovels than if they were rightly asked to validate that then they could simply say you go and look it up..

when further asked to validate their own claims they could then say well its my opinion because of whom I associate with and you cant say anything to refute what I say as that is bullying..

btw, that was just an example.. I think that in your case where you are unable to add any constructice points , you then sinply say that a post is tosh.

Using such commemts is both ill mannered and unnecessary . In addition it is a reflection on the author , not the recipient . It is sumply a bullying tactic. It is difficult to see what else referring to a post as tosh could be.

I like to be well mannered and can never think of any post where I have referred to someones post as being tosh.

If I have nothing to add , I prefer to refrain from commenting .

Stop with the false outrage. Accept that your logic is flawed and if you continue to not validate your own facts then on an open forum youll be challenged.

Your failure to address it only highlights your arrogance.

Maybe I should remind you that this is a public forum where everyone expresses opinions which is what one expects .

However referring to a posters post as tosh on a number of different occasions without any valid reason or explanation is

simply displaying ignorance and a lack of manners .

Many posters disagree with my posts ( which is to be expected as it is a debating forum ) . However none of them have referred to a post as being tosh .

There is generally a nasty undertone to your comment when you reply to my post whether it is in the political forum or any other unrelated topic .

I don't have any real issue with a post being referred to as tosh or nasty comments being made as these are a reflection on the author of the post , not the recipient .

I prefer to be an individual who achieves things in life - not someone who creates problems . In one recent comment on the health service , part of the content of the post is now being implemented but you still saw fit to describe it as tosh . On another post you referred to me as being naïve and proceeded to list numerous cases . In this case I had vast experience in the area concerned ( which was a highly specialised topic ) but you still saw fit to use the term naïve . In another post you seemed to think that there imply that there was no need investigate the use of / misuse of mobility allowances / vehicles . This is another area of special interest to me as I provide and have done for the last 26 years extensive assistance to someone who is disabled .

I can however accept that all of the above relate to a lack of manners and an attempt to bully .

Agree, for a quick reply. If a multi page long post can be typed, a quick edit can be done.
