    Turkish chill out fella. :emoticon-0148-yes: I don't think he is worth it. As I said he is probably a barman. Do what I do and put him on ignore. it works.

    Nothing, if you had been following this thread you would know it was a reference from the film Die Hard which I have used many times before. Your reply is just an argumentive response. :eek:

    Well, those comments were wrong. I think Turkish should just put DT on ignore and be done with it.

    We all know that sometimes the debates can get a bit heated and I know that Turkish has had a few run ins with DT. I can feel his frustration. Remember it was only last week that DT said that I should be 'strung up' when I return to France. That is the sort of bloke he is. If I were Turkish I would put on ignore and enjoy the debate.

    I'm always interested to get the French view of politics both domestic and international, but DT can be an agent provocateur with his anti English rhetoric - anyone whose emotions are inflamed by the negativity of it would be well advised to put him on ignore

    I think what he actually said, Ellers, is that in France you would be considered well hung.

    Good seriously much better all round
    Turk bloke’s average response is to insult so best get to ignore me as I ignore him ... hope it worked

    I still read Eller’s gear for comic relief

    Abbott is very well educated imo and seriously needs sticking up for from the likes of Ellers imo
    Pick anyone of the current conservatives if we are talking super daft ... Chris Grayling ?

    Why post stuff like that if you cannot take an reaction or opposite view ?

    Stand by what I said re Ellers
    What is a man doing with a holiday home in a country he loosely describes as cowards with undertones from the last world war ?

    If you were French why wouldn’t you be insulted ?

    A year to go before 50 years as an MP. Sharp wit, not a clique/faction man, ripped Livingstone a new one when he stood against Dobson for mayor of London and a good mate of Tony Blair (look it up). Impeccable liberal voting record on social issues. Doubtless a very good constituency MP. Great MP, I would have loved to see how he would have handled the pragmatism needed as a minister.

    Nothing whatsoever wrong with taking an opposing view, DT. That's what this thread is about. And though I'm particularly concerned about Abbott's capabilities since she is shadow Home Secretary after all, I agree with you that Grayling needs looking at, especially if the taxpayer ends up paying a fine for this ferry contract that's just been cancelled.

    That's not why people ignore you. It's when you continually try and big up France at the expense of your own country. Fine, extol the virtues of France and we'll all assess what you say. Even do it occasionally, in contrast to England. But to keep on telling us we live in a **** country (the country where you have made a good living) whereas the French live in Wonderland is, to put it mildly, ****ing irritating. You don't need to knock the country of the birth in order to point out the virtues of your adopted country.

    In a way he reminds me of Brian Clough, as you say a great MP and head and shoulders above the dross that inhabits the Commons these days...

    I was listening to the radio tonight and they were ripping Chris Grayling a good one. What a stupid muppet. Surely he should have checked this sort of stuff out? <doh> I also see that Dr Fox has finally signed a trade deal (with the Swiss), which by the way is very good.... but once again why don't they think before opening their mouths? He now says he won't get all the deals done on time. <doh> However once we know what's happening the deals will come in and they reckon we will be 90% there (or so they say).

    Not a problem who ignores me that’s Liberty in form. I fight my cause remember because of my own opinions regarding the U.K. It comes from a geniune experience and of course observation from this thread where most are moaning about the U.K. anyhow. I feel I am no different to knock what is clearly wrong imo and at the same time praise what imo is most definitely right. I feel that I am more than qualified to do so as I now live that lifestyle.

    Grayling perfect example yes.... given in response and challenge to a poster who makes it his job to try and discredit the party most closely linked to my own political preferences. It demands challenging imo if you feel you are against it within any debate
