US Election November 5th

[BC'er]

@BC'er doing his Basil Fawlty impressions! Could have his own comedy show?

Didn't you notice? I'm making a guest appearance on yours - for as long as I find it slightly amusing.

You're wasting the time you have left Jacob blathering away in the futile hope that you're somehow "managing the discussion". The only people you're diverting are people who don't have the wits or the will to see what is going on anyway. In short you're preaching to the choir.

Yes, I know you have the typical belief in your own vastly important opinions and the compulsive need to share them with anyone who will at least pretend to listen, but even after a few weeks stopping by here I can see how futile it all is. "Neo-Luddism awake and resist!" What sort of rot is this anyway?

 

[John Brown]

Calm down.

That’s a disgraceful comment. Want to take it back?

Oh hello Noel, I understand you invariably show up when Jacob gets into difficulties. A number of people have already told me about this by PM after you closed down the that 80 plus page thread on whatever topic it was.

As for wasting the time one has left, the same is true for all of us isn't? Jacob has stated he is over 80 so referring to that reality is not "disgraceful" in the least, it is a statement of genuine empathy in fact, despite our ideological differences.

However if you're looking for a reason to close the thread or ban me or something of that sort do as you like.

 

[BC'er]

Calm down.

Is that the best you've got or is this the pause that refreshes?

 

[Sideways]

...do as you like.

Done.

@Noel
Apologies for intruding but I wholeheartedly agree with your assessment of "disgraceful".
Someone needs an extended holiday.

Neither. I just think you need to calm down.

Done.

No worries, saved me the bother.

Sounds like a full-time job to me. Can you give us some examples of where you go to find 'unbiased' information relating to current affairs?* BC'er was asked the same a few pages back but got all cryptic about it.

* In my opinion, it doesn't exist, but maybe that's just me.

Why don't you try looking for independent news sources which have no direct affiliation with the UK... Al Jazeera or the likes. They are more likely to report news factually and independently that has no government manipulation for political propaganda purposes.
I've travelled quite extensively and in doing so I've often watched news reports from different parts of the world which give a completely different perspective on news items to that of biased perspective reporting of the UK's media.

News sources that have no bias do exist but you have to take off the blinkers and look beyond the spheres of influence of the UK media, particular the news in print.
