Of course not

Thank you, Sith and MA.

GP. I’m sorry if you took offence. My intention this morning was to be appreciative of Sith, and more particularly, Swale’s posts because, imo, they were reasoned and objective. Untypically so, of late, on here. I did not set out to ‘insult’ you.

My other point is that here, as elsewhere, exaggeration and fabrication have no part to play in honest debate. You made out that we have reached a stage where only the two flags you mentioned are now acceptable in this country. That isn’t true and it’s the type of exaggerated untruth that fuels resentment amongst the less discerning in this country.

Likewise, Andy claiming that I moan about the forum more than everyone else put together is incorrect. As I’ve pointed out, I’ve made just 17/154 comments on the subject - not all of them critical - making it another exaggeration designed to discredit, along with his claims about Swale and I being blinkered, narrow minded bullies etc.

It is my opinion that politicians are generally amongst the most dishonest of individuals and that over the last decade or so those, particularly, but not exclusively, like Farage, Trump, Johnson, Truss, Hancock etc have profited from making dishonest and exaggerated claims. It is something, imo, we can do without on here and that’s where I hope to leave it.
