You would suggest that those who post under such conditions shouldn't, that their contribution on whatever topic should be censored, ignored, subject to other sanction? So much for your supposed support for free speech.

You use the terms "exile", "refugee" and "migrant" interchangeably, yet they are (as yiu ackniwledge" very different, so which is it? In your post where you describe the vote in leaving the EU was "like being punched in the stomach" you're an exile, or are you a migrant? You're not a refugee, neither are you an exile, and if you're a migrant, you are where you are by choice, live with it and allow those who choose to live here to do so without sniping from those who sought the greener grass on the other side.


People undertaking a loss of civil liberties role in society may be forced into exile due to threat, persecution or a host of reason.

I chose to live in comfortable exile and as such am a social exile, one of many people who have been excluded from the mainstream society. In my case Sectioned twice by English law with a wrong diagnosis, had forced medication forced into me, left addicted to it, discharged on second legal Court hearing appeal, left labelled UK vulnerable adult, unemployable, no Mental Health support & no future. Luckily awarded some damages out of court. Suppose I'm lucky.

An asylum seeker is someone who claims to be a refugee but whose claim hasn't been evaluated. Someone is an asylum seeker for so long as their application is pending. So not every asylum seeker will be recognised as a refugee, but every refugee is initially an asylum seeker.

Both my parents came from parents lineage forced to leave countries of birth. Race, Ethnicity & Religious hostile persecution was a common link, sadly. They'll say they're lucky.

I've visited the Balkans, know Serbia & Croatia well & it's history, I've also been across to the beautiful Emerald Isles & feel part of all three countries. I'm very lucky.

I express honest, balanced views & have Schizophrenia Mr WTF.

So I guess I'm real lucky, alive & kicking mate !

Nothing further to add to your drunken rants - move along now please.
