Secondly I find it utterly bizarre that you want to pick a fight on such weak arguments. You said a hologram show was a good metaphor for Macron because like the hologram he has no substance, not realising that Macron hadn't done the hologram show at all, someone else had. I pointed out the mistake quite politely, but it seems to have riled you to the point where you want to do a 'takedown' of me.

He has a history of picking fights on weak arguments. I once politely pointed out to him that 39% of voters didn't constitute "most voters". We disputed something that was totally obvious until he ended up blocking my posts!!!!

You're not a real man until you've riled him to the point of being blocked!

Steady on Sailor Boy, hope you didn’t use language like that in front of the Captain, he might have made you scrub his rollocks.

Shut up you barrel of lard, have you ever served Queen and country you 44 year old faux country boy? You know F'all you inane tw@t - so don't attempt to take the piss out of any Naval lad. You really are a Tw@t and a half.....and how people like you can spout the`bollox you do shows a complete lack of respect for your country.

Driller - QE, EU bail-outs of Italian banks.......I cannot remember the original argument....but it was along the lines of you saying that the EU HADN'T bailed them out?

OK here goes......an article from Forbes dated June 2017 entitled "Italy's Latest Bank Bail-Out"

Extract:

Italy has finally gotten around to sorting out its banks. But the way it is going about it looks horribly familiar. Never mind the EU’s high-minded ideas about bailing in creditors. In Italy, they like to do things the traditional way. Bailouts are back.

in December 2016, the Italian government approved a 20bn euro bailout fund. Italy would have to borrow this money, of course. But no matter, Italy has borrowed so much already that a bit more won’t make much difference. And anyway, the ECB has its back. Italian government bonds are included in the ECB’s QE program, which effectively caps their yields. A Greek-style bond crisis would be all but impossible.

The Italian government decided that although these banks might not be systemically important to the EU, they most certainly are to Italy. Claiming that allowing them to fail would cause disruption to the local economy in Venice, it bailed them out.

The bailout is dressed up as a rescue by a larger bank along the same lines as Santander’s recent acquisition for a nominal 1 euro of the insolvent Spanish lender Banco Popular.

Italy's decision, supported by the European Commission, tramples the BRRD to death. Senior creditors need never again fear losses due to a failing bank. If it is systemically important, it will be given a precautionary recapitalization at taxpayers’ expense. If it is not, an excuse will be found to bail it out at taxpayers’ expense. Either way, seniors and unsecured depositors are safe.

That is, they are as safe as politicians want them to be. Italy is able to bail out these banks – and will no doubt in due course bail out others too – because it is a big country which can easily borrow the funds needed. It has decided to do so principally because its politicians fear for their jobs if the Venetian economy tanks and small bondholders lose their savings. And the European Commission has supported its decision principally because Italy is much too big to bully. The long-running standoff between the EU and Italy over bank resolution has ended with the EU caving in.

We now have a two-speed Eurozone, made up of big countries that can do what they like, and small ones that must obey the rules set by the big ones. Not that there is anything new about this. We are simply back to where we were in the good old days, when Germany and France could break Eurozone rules with impunity but woe betide a smaller country that tried to do so. Italy, too, is part of the “too big to bully” club. Bankers, you know what to do.

Couldn't resist it could you?

Nah, I'd go for bigoted and stupid more than old and grumpy.

This opinion is based on you saying you hate over 2 billion people without ever knowing any of them. Bigoted. And stupid.

I see plenty of them being jailed for raping kids, Derby, Oxford, Rotherham, Bradford, Leeds, Newcastle.....the list goes on and on.....I don't need to know them personally, in fact I wouldn't want to

.....and the Blackpool 14 year-old that they chopped up and mixed into the kebab meat

There's a strong smell of desperation in that post tarquin! You've managed to google a link to one seriously nasty Muslim. Well done, I thought only Tricky was dim enough to use that approach to 'prove' his point. To give a bit of context, I too would hate this bloke, I would also like to add my hatred of all the Muslim p aedophiles and all the Muslim terrorists. But you have said you hate all Muslims. Every single one of them. That's where we differ - I hate people deserving of hatred, you manage to hate over 2 billion in one go!!! If I had linked an article on Ian Huntley as a reason to hate all white British males, I would rightly be ridiculed. You can't judge millions on one or two google searches. Or in your case apparently you can.

The innuendo you make against serving or ex serving members of the Royal Navy could be regarded as a hate crime in the world we live in today , we certainly are a minority group ! Me and every other serving or ex matelot would just see it as banter but if everybody else is playing the card !! ahoy .

When I joined the Navy in 79 the 6 weeks basic training can be demanding both physically and mentally , a lot didn't make it . I might be wrong but I fear BFT would have been one of those who had to run home to mummy .

I'm pretty sure, as everyone else is, that you are having withdrawal symptoms over Tricky's absence.....maybe I'm your next target....no idea.

I posted one link to one particularly vile crime....I could sit here and post hundreds of links to hundreds of other Muslim atrocities, starting with Lee Rigby and all the bombings, stabbings, beheadings, boiling Christians alive and ending with young girls in the Manchester concert....but what is the point Elite?, you don't care......you don't want to take action....you just want it all to go away, hide your head under the pillow, bury it in the sand......all you, and all the other lefties can see is more votes at the ballot box......so it's pointless even having this discussion, your mind is made up.

My position is different....if you have a disease spreading in a society, it doesn't matter how many people you treat in hospital.....you have to find the cause of the disease and eradicate it.....what is the point in treating people for Typhus, if the problem is the water supply?.....treating the Zika virus....if you don't get rid of the mosquitoes?.....the Black Death, if you don't get rid of the rats?.....Smallpox without vaccinations?.......the list is endless

But we managed to conquer most of these diseases by taking action.....but with Islam, we hide from the reality that it is a nasty, vile religion....we skirt around the edges saying "surely not all Muslims are killers, let's try to integrate them"....even a Rotherham Labour MP and champion of Women's Rights is demoted and rebuked by Labour for daring to tell the truth......integration doesn't work, the latest brand of murdering extremist is homegrown, raised in English schools, fresh out of college....boom, another 20 dead bodies to bury....it will never stop, it will never go away.

So I despise them....go ahead Elite, hit the Complaint button....I honestly don't care
