Trickle up economics to help sort the economy anyone?

Straw man or wicker man? AF seems to be being burned for his beliefs but hopefully he did get a go on Britt Ekland beforehand...

Straw man, definitely, but you were right about Britt Ekland being in the Wicker Man.

No ‘burning’, just means someone who won’t/can’t substantiate their assertions because they’re built on a false premise.

Not can?t, rA, can?t be bothered. Do your own research, you?ll find I?m correct, give or take a bit. It?s more productive than getting your panties in a palaver like you (both) do.

Lol! ‘Can’t be bothered’…often, in my experience, the first port of call for someone, usually a child, who should have just stopped at, ‘can’t’.

It’s a forum, AF. A place to exchange views and try to back up the opinions one puts forward. That’s what you expect others to do. You’ve always got plenty to say, but excuses like, ‘can’t be bothered’, ‘do your own research’ or ‘I’m off to cut the grass’ (again) as soon as you’re challenged don’t really cut the mustard anymore.

Of course Reform only endorse English Mustard 😆

Is there any other sort?

I can easily make the numbers work Swale but I’m not going to offer them here because I’ve told you to do your own research which you haven’t, you’re just sore at being proven wrong on a matter of fact

I’m fully expecting further retort from elsewhere on the forum but it’s become too predictable to bother about now, as Mac said, there’s grass to cut

I really do worry about you! How can I be sore about being proven wrong on a matter of fact, when you haven't actually proven anything?

Also for somebody who "can't be bothered" with pointless debate, you seem to be quite willing to waste your time with childish remarks, when all I've done is politely asked you to verify your claims. or correct your false statement. After all it would have been much simpler and indeed quicker to either admit your figures were a finger in the air estimate or back up that statement.

I guess it wasn't you who admitted to "overegging" the figures but not by much? Yet obviously are unable to substantiate your previous claims of "tens of thousands". Still I guess if that's what's been said in your fakebook bubble, it must be true!

By the way, having looked into this in quite some depth, there is absolutely no evidence that "tens of thousands" were involved in the riots/protests last summer!

I do recall that you were supposed to be quite good with numbers, it seems this little exchange has shown, that your not, nor it seems able to back up statements you make in your posts. Of course the latter has been obvious for quite some time, but now its clear you talk utter tosh.

Anyway toodle pip old man, I'm off to talk to someone who knows fact from fiction.

He is wriggling on the end of hook RA! Quite funny really, especially as he is so keen to critique any figures I give.

What is really interesting though, is his eagerness to protect the reputations of those involved in the out right thuggery and racism that was on display last summer. That follows on from his weighing in to defend of Charlie Kirk, on the basis it seems that if you dress smartly, speak politely and "pretend" to debate things rationally (in reality Kirk didn't debate, he practiced a shtick which he used to try and make others, mostly students with different ideas look fools. He often failed and there are some classic videos where his gets his ass handed to him on a plate) then the fact your peddling white supremacist, so called Christian nationalist, xenophobic, racist propaganda and lies is acceptable!

It confirms my suspicion that AF has been indoctrinated by reading to much far right cr@p on social media.

More Tory sleaze? Seems like the contract for the digital ID scheme (worth many millions) may well be awarded to a company headed by Ewan Blair. Remember him, son of former red Tory PM and warmonger, Tony.

Coincidence I'm sure, like the COVID contracts.

Not verified fact but strong rumour

What's good for the goose is good for the gander
