As GP said, do your own research. NB those with an open mind not dogma-dominated…

Oh come on please! Dogma dominated? The only dogma on here is pushed by you ad quite often GP, based on opinion with little or no facts to back it up!

I did respond to you when you described your anecdote about your family members affected by knife crime, by relating the experiences of my daughter who has lived in London for 10 years which were different from what you described. Hardly dogma dominated just a different point of view.

I often post actual facts, you and often GP's response is to is to criticise supposed plagiarism or "cut and paste", rather than respond to the subject posted! So before you start claiming an open mid, maybe address the fact that your very often respond with petty, points, sarcasm, insults and waffle or when your opinion has been challenged, don't respond at all.

I really do have to laugh at your complete failure to understand that opinion is just a point of view and an anecdote is just an experience that one person has had and what the media you seem to gets your views from spews out, is very often fake news aimed at fostering a certain response.
