Sorry mate but what utter boll*cks

What specific bit is "utter boll*cks"?

[keldsyke]

Well, he was going to fund Reform to the tune of ?100m as he thought they were friends of Stephen Yaxley-Lennon. When he realised that they weren?t that far right he dropped them. Keep your eyes out for funding going towards the English Defence League though.

Intrigued, please show a link to this EDL story

[keldsyke]

Not been watching the news over the past few days then? The bit about the EDL is speculation I?d admit, but the rest is in the news and on twitter.

Tell us more about the EDL speculation please

[Elite_Pie]

As he said, it's speculation!

Really, amazing that seeing as the EDL ceases to exist anymore, more desperation and made up stuff from the unbalanced Lefties on here who can?t see the train crash heading towards them.

Come on lads I?ll say it again admit it, you, BFP and the rest of the Tooting popular front on here have been had over by Labour big time, you can?t really defend this lot anymore. I admire your allegiance but it?s becoming embarrassing now, do you want to buy some magic beans?

[Elite_Pie]

Admit it, you have been had over by Labour big time, you can?t really defend this lot anymore.

Where have I defended Labour before?

Give me an example.

[Lullapie]

yes. Even you - a normally seemingly sensible poster - supports Med and Lulla's obvious bigotry and intolerance over reasonable discussion. You called me a racist for pointing it out - or an ageist/***ist it was hard to tell - and when I asked how you thought I could have raised the issue better - in the interest of hearing you out - you basically ran away leaving us with your drive-by insult. Your way is the only way?

If you understood what the literal definition of bigotry was, you would be saying that probably most of the posters on NCM could be classed as bigots.

Bigotry is defined as the fact of having and expressing strong, unreasonable beliefs and disliking other people who have different beliefs or a different way of life

My belief is that we are all born equally (from our mothers), and we all have the ability to do and achieve what we want - irrespective of creed or colour. You obviously strongly don't agree with that, so therefore you are being a bigot.

You are taking the common step of calling everyone who doesn't agree with your views 'bigots' and paraphrasing what the actual definition of the word is to suit YOUR argument.

Social media rules. Free speech or free lies? It's time to bin general elections and turn it into a 'reality' tv show. All party leaders have to sing, dance, skate and wear masks then Simon Cowell hands over to Ant and Dec to announce the winner.

And the next Prime Minister iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiissssssssssss ....................................

It kinda feels like thats where he headed to. People have always disagreed about stuff, but at least there was usually a basic set of facts that everyone relied upon and took it from there.

Now you have ketted up freaks with their own social media platforms, tv stations and millions of followers just making stuff up and those of a certain mindset lap it up. It?s a worry about where all this will end.

[Lullapie]

As he said, it's speculation!

There's speculation that Lionel Messi is going to leave Miami and take up a coaching role at Notts County - utter 8ollox, but I am speculating.

[Lullapie]

Give me an example.

What would you class as 'defending Labour' as I'm certain in many Tory posters' eyes, that all you do on political posts, but in many Labour posters' eyes, you've never defended them.

[Lullapie]

Not how I see it. I've visited lots of different countries and enjoyed visiting them all, but I've never for a single second been tempted to leave the country of my birth, or even the city of my birth. I love what Nottingham offers, it ticks all the boxes for what I want from life. It's been bloody cold today, but what sort of wimp runs away from a bit of cold weather?

If somebody leaves their country of birth because of the weather, except for medical reasons because of the weather, then that's a shame.

Since I've left England, I do miss the weather, but it isn't that different where I live.

The one thing I will say, is that if you never leave the place where you were born, there is so much that you've missed in life. Visiting countries is generally just a holiday. No country can be compared with regards to what you see on holiday. Only once you live there, then you see things differently.

Unless you believe in the afterlife, then life is short and to spend the one opportunity you have to experience what the world has to offer, it's unfortunate.

However, what you've never had, you'll never miss, but you will end up seeing the world like Will Hunting rather than Sean Maguire.

If you don't understand that comment, then you won't understand what I'm saying.

So unless you've lived in a different country, you've missed so much in life???

You don't half spout some bullsh!t.

One weird thing I've noticed on here is that a lot of those who don't like people emigrating to this country are the ones that emigrated to another country!

Don't make the common error though of confusing people who are anti-immigration and people who are anti-illegal immigration.

I'm not sure who they are - from my experience on NCM, the majority are either pro-open immigration or pro-controlled immigration.


However, you are close to a weird thing I noticed, since moving abroad.

You tend to find that people who have emigrated to another country legally, are the most ardent supporters of enforcing that country's immigration system. It may be because they have experienced the damage that an unregulated immigration system can do.
