    I would hardly say he is a "top QC' but that is a matter of opinion. He seems to be retired and as there are about 1700 QC's on average he represents quite a low percentage.

    He has written an interesting article, link below, but it is only his opinion and is based on the use of three or four words, which do appear to have been changed but I cannot confirm this . He could be right, I'm not expert in this field but as he is a member of "Lawyers For Britain" a group that quite clearly states

    He clearly has some bias in these matters

    A good bit of research on the QC there Eric, well done, Shame you didn't do any on Obama before slagging Trump off about interfering in British affairs like Brexit, you wouldn't have looked silly and clearly biased then:emoticon-0102-bigsm

    I didn't know Obama had said anything until Forza enlightened me, so checked it out and, as I said, he seems to have gone too far in his statements on the affairs of another country. That doesn't mean that Trump is right in his repeated statements and interference in the what happens in the UK, unless that's OK with you lot. Personally I don't give a damn but thought as you all seem to get het up about "Brussels meddling", where at least you have some sort of say, you would have been up in arms about the mighty Trump sticking his oar in, obviously not. I don't like Trump. I never have done, but if you're OK with him then that's fine, neither of us get to vote for him either way.

    I think repeatedly claiming that somebody is guilty of treason when they aren't is pretty futile, perhaps understanding what treason is would help you?. It's difficult to consider if "her cronies had bias too" as I have no idea who you are referring to with such a general statement.

    Reminds me of the line from the Who's "Won't get fooled again'..... "Meet the new boss ... same as the old Boss".

    Something of a truism with Brexit.

    It was you saying that getting caught out hurts more, obviously you have experience and so I was just sympathising with you, sorry

    Well, you are wrong, I haven't, and i'm not, so i don't need your sympathy, but you have been caught out twice in the space of a few days and you seem to be taking it badly

    <laugh> now you're all upset you snowflake, you've been bullying Leedslover for ages so don't go down that road, I detest bullies, I've met a lot of the lads on here at meet ups, you can ask them if you want,
    Its a shame you never go to Elland Road you could ask me personally, I don't hide behind a keyboard or the other side of the world
