    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Nothing new in this AK, our far worse 2011 nation wide riots were protests at all the things that people were upset about. An unholy alliance of the poor and deprived with the ill treated and the politically angry, plus those just taking advantage of the chaos to help themselves to what they...

    I do, but very civilised these days in a fully electric car, nice and quiet with no exhaust and I give way to cyclists and pedestrians all the time to set an example. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    That woman was far from right as the photo I posted of Croydon from the 2011 riots showed. Far worse than Paris currently, whole swathes of shopping areas burnt out throughout the centre. And we were only one part of London affected the same way, as were many other parts of the country. Nor...

    What's so different, first thought is of the British Army in Northern Ireland in the 1970s, and your second photo reminds me of the riots here in Croydon, this being one small sample of the damage:

    Thanks Dave. The only snag with that is when someone quotes the offender, their post is still seen in the quote. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    In isolation it could have been, but coming on the end of a chain of offensive posts from this member made it anything but. It was and still is in repeats intended to be offensive and cause maximum annoyance. .

    Yes that's true enough. Just like most road users. ;) .

    That the thread should be closed. Your attempt to censor is wrong on three grounds: 1) It's in a forum for any other subject than e-biking. 2) You don't have to look at that thread. 3) The thread has an Ignore link at the top right meaning you never have to see it again. .

    If we believe everything the media are saying on this subject, our obese children are going to school hungry to eat in the schools breakfast clubs. .

    There's nothing subtle about that, it's offensive and obviously intended to be. .

    It's got at least two more years to run during the trade negotiations phase. Something for you to look forward to. :) .

    A subtlety that is often missed I fear. .

    At least all those who used a familial relationship to gain an Irish passport need not go short of food after hard Brexit. Maybe eating tourism as well. .

    Well, recipients do tend to think that's abusive, regardless of how much they might have provoked that response. .

    Where do you think they dream up their ideas for their next Brexit posts! ;) .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The purpose of such announcements by peripheral figures is often to act as a softening up process, getting those who will be affected used to the possibility before an actual announcement. That's why I think a cabinet minister saying this has some significance, but her forecast option not...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I very recently posted that some newsmen believed a plan B was being held in the background by Therersa May in case of her deal being refused. Now just 13 hours ago Amber Rudd has become the first cabinet minister to raise plan B as a possibility, her comments opening a Norway + as a possibility. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    No hypocrisy, I have explained this to you before but you seem to ignore that, so I'll repeat it once again, this time in detail. Look back through the occasions when I've posted an agree with OT or OG and you'll see those are largely the posts that do not include their extreme responses. The...

    Thank you Gray. I have to say that I'm almost on the verge of leaving this thread since it's becoming impossible to post sensibly and politely without offensive responses. If there isn't a big improvement soon I'm out. .
