I thought mine was a bit harsh, but blimey The school I went to did not use capital punishment (there were the occasional board dusters thrown around or marker pens). I went to school after such punishments were banned in law. Once again though you are entirely missing my point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is entirely feasible that capital punishment would still exist in the UK school system without outside influence. 1 hour ago, The Voice of Reason said: Well I don’t know what sort of school you went to.

Suggest you Google it That's what comes of replying in a hurry whilst I was also going to comment that there are often calls for the return of capital punishment in the UK. I decided not to include that in my reply as that is a different issue, although still linked to Human Rights. As you are well aware, and more than capable of working out, was that I was referring to was corporal punishment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I’m not sure that I am that capable. Your mate Barney was asking whether I am, “thick or what ?” But yes I knew what you meant to say, I was just being jocular Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from the Lib Dems bit. Nothing they have done suggests to me they will increase their seats anything like that. If anything I would expect them to get less ( but I’m not a professional pollster) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything I would expect them to get less ( but I’m not a professional pollster) I looked at the detail on the yougov MRP poll (which isn't quite as bad for the Torys as the one Teapot posted) and it looked like in the South West there were two reasons for this - Tory centerists moving to Lib Dems Tory rightists moving to Reform What I've noticed it seems that Sunaks been left to campaign on his own. Where's Boris, Truss, May, Cameron, Rees-Mogg, Mordant, Gove, Patel, Braverman and the rest? Shapps and Hunt have made one contribution, which was to say "it would be best if Labour didn't get too big a majority." And that's about the only decent reason for voting Tory. I kind of expect some people currently saying they'll vote Lib Dem or Reform and a few don't knows will return to the Tory fold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your assertion that Matt Chorley wouldn't want to double his audience to O'Briens level was very " unclever" shall we say. Surely you agree...?

woolley Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 14 hours ago, RecklessAbandon said: This is hilarious. You were out of your depth getting into that thread and after getting utterly schooled, all you could come back with was "OK". I think deep down you don't believe that "sovereignty" BS anymore than Woolley does, its just that you are so deep down the performative hole that you can't admit now for fear of looking a wally. Of course @The Voice of Reason wasn't schooled. He is correct in the assertion he made. The response from @John Wright on the other hand was risible. I suspect that the response of "OK", was an indication that the quoted posts were simply too ridiculous even to pass comment on. As for your assumed insight about my beliefs, I suggest that you are the wally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for your assumed insight about my beliefs, I suggest that you are the wally. You’re quite right. The “ OK “ response was just acknowledging that JW was confirming his earlier statement which I think was nonsense . I’ve learnt ( and many others have) long ago that he will argue that black is white and won’t shift from that position ( bless him) So there is little point arguing with him into the wee small hours when you want to go to bed. Hence “ Ok” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
