Yes, I would love to know what my father and his former POW pal would have said to any landlord who would refuse them a pint for not wearing a poppy in their pub.

They’d of probably took the piss out of him and gone to another pub while others got offended on their behalf.

So if this deal gets boris back in power and then we leave the EU almost immediately, will the Brexit MP’s then stand down and call by-elections as they will have no reason to be.
Or will Farage have to change his focus and aim again to keep himself in the media.
Another Party maybe?:unsure:

Nope. If all goes well, the Brexit Party will have enough power to actually make BJ get a better deal or no deal. Once this has been done Nige can drop the baton and find something else to do with his life, as he will not be an MP.

My father would have reacted in the same way he did many years ago when the barman in (the then) Sammy Dow's in Shawlands told him that he had to take his bunnet off or he wouldn't be served. My dad looked at him ... said a few choice words - and we left (popped across the road to the Georgic - anither not very salubrious Glasgow hostelry - of the sort my auld man preferred)

Ref your comment, "see post #757, are you saying you agree with it or disagree with it? I think I get what you're saying, but only think I get. And this is where arguments can start. Someone might come back at you misunderstanding where you're coming from.

That aside, I did raise a wry smile at Swinglow's self-righteous way he criticises people's self-righteousness. I don't disagree with him, just thought it a little ironic.

Maybe I was a little too angry in the manner I was trying to make the point. The point was not only against some in this forum, it is the way society as a whole has gone. I was trying to say that people are too easily offended at what someone says, be it an attempted joke, a reply quickly made that doesn't come out exactly as intended,or an innocent action, etc . And then those who have made their mind up before that this person is the "opposition" ( for want of a better word), tear into that person in an unfair way.
How many of us, if we were politicians and were asked off the cuff for a response, would be able to say exactly what we wanted to convey each time,
without a mistake.
Then it gets seized upon and attacked.
You can say it goes with the territory, but that doesn't change what was intended in the reply, so maybe a little leeway could be given.

It’s never him mate, he’s had more run ins on the political threads with people than anyone else, he’s even had threads locked but failed to take any responsibility and if you try to debate he throws it back at you with insults.
I had a search this morning and I couldn’t find his last post he posted to create any debate.

Are you referring to me.? If so, what threads have been locked because of me?
I don't even know what happens when a thread is locked! Is the person causing it given a notice or something by the mods, or what?

What different opinions I have posted have been done with the intention of being fair minded. I have never had any communications with the mods, or warnings or anything.
If you consider I have , kindly identify the threads and posts you say I have affected.

Nope. Not a chance of Farage going away, it’s sad people think this GE is only about Brexit.

I’d suggest you take a look at who “likes” your posts and in the tone of the post you initially answered.....stop being a snowflake;)

Correct, you are a fire starter and love to fan the flames .. insults come easily to hand, your condescending in your replies .. and your views are extreme, if not embarrassing.

Thats cleared up then, its ok for you and some others to insult as you see fit but if i respond to it I'm a fire starter and love to fan the flames. My replies are condescending but yours are elevating and thought provoking, thats cleared the fog then. Lets put to one side your intelectual recent comment to me when discussing Brexit "You can't even play golf" or the one I had recently calling me "Socket Boris" and "SocketNigel" that was an enlightening episode, how about the enlightened one that invited me to 'suck Tory genitalia' very revealing. I just had another accusing me of not starting any new threads.
I admit openly to dishing it out in retaliation but unlike you and others of your ilk I dont insult because someone has a different political view to me.

I know this post will make no impression on you but feel that I have a right to reply and defend myself when slighted.

So, not able to answer. Not able to identify the threads. Seems I'm nasty because of the identities of those who "like" my posts🤔

However, if you want an example of what I was talking about laying into people , have a look at post 742😉

I called you SocketBoris, happily hold my hands up, but check the thread, that was my “childish and immature” response to you using those at me first.
If we are are going to play the childish tit for tat games, at least own up when you start them.:rolleyes:

What part of IT WASN’T AIMED AT YOU do you not get, my post was all about some people adding nothing to the thread and when confronted throw out insults.
The irony in your post proved it, from your posts you seem to lean to the right of politics, imo, and those on the right lazily go for the “snowflake” remark and don’t even consider a debate.

I accept that there have been some insults flying around .. quite creative as well and some very cutting.
Your on a golf forum just trotting right wing views out.

I missed the one about suggesting you suck Tory genitalia .. or you have paraphrased it .. But I will say, you get reflected back at you, your behaviour.
I don't want to come on here and just read right wing propoganda /lies, there must be another forum, that you can find like minded people who will agree with you and will accept your opinions as totally normal.

I am disappointed that the moderators have not stepped in enough, but I know they volunteer and have better things to do with their time than stop tit for tat exchanges and WE should know better but, your a perpetual winder and fire starter.

I would advise you wind it back in and count to 10 and keep it to yourself... I will do the same and I am sure there are others who will as well.
