Give over for heavens sake. I made no crude comments. If you cannot understand basic concepts as used in the English language, there is little I can do to help you.

Perhaps they just have different values in that godforsaken interbred region of France?
Excellent idea, It makes sure there is no complacency amongst Tory voters, especially if bad weather occurs.
As you are currently a moderator I must say your dodgy comment above about another poster is most unprofessional. I hope Saffy challenges you to fully explain.
Strap yourselves in folks, one of the political stories of the century is brewing...
1. A concerned mother shares a photo of her 4-year-old boy who was forced to wait hours on a hospital floor with suspected pneumonia.
2. The photo circulates online so a journalist challenges Boris Johnson about it during an interview by showing him the picture of the boy on his phone.
3. Johnson repeatedly refuses to even look at the boy, let alone acknowledge responsibility for the situation, and eventually steals the journalists phone and puts it in his pocket.
4. There is uproar about Johnson's lack of compassion so Health Minister, Matt Hancock, is dispatched to the hospital to deal with the situation.
5. Matt Hancock briefs journalists that, while at the hospital, one of his advisors was "punched" by a Labour activist.
6. Much of the media unquestioningly report the "punch" by the "Labour activist" as fact without checking the validity of the allegation. Widespread rage about "violent Labour activists" spreads like wildfire online.
7. Video footage then emerges online showing that the story had been entirely fabricated and was 100% false.
8. The media sheepishly backtrack on what they have posted out to the world.
9. A Facebook post then appears claiming to be from a "good friend" of a nurse working in Leeds hospital. The post says that the photograph of the 4-year-old was faked by a "Labour activist". The post is shared more than 30,000 times.
10. The claim is unquestioning reported as fact by much of the media without checking its validity.
11. Suspicions of the validity of the claim are then raised as it is discovered there are literally thousands and thousands of Facebook and Twitter accounts posting exactly the same claim, word for word.
12. It becomes clear that bots are being used to spread disinformation. The hospital also confirms the accuracy of the photo and that it had already apologised to the mother.
13. The media sheepishly backtrack on what they have posted out to the world.
14. The account where the post originated then comes into question. It belongs to a (real) woman named Sheree Jenner-Hepburn who claims her account has "hacked".
15. Further investigation shows that Sheree Jenner-Hepburn was not the innocent victim of a hack, but that the post was made from her account intentionally, as she responded to her friend's comments on the post.
16. It's then discovered that Sheree Jenner-Hepburn's son has a Facebook friend with a very prominent role within this story which may cast light on the motives behind the fake post.
17. It's… Matt Hancock's account!!!
In summary: it appears that the actual Health Minister of the British Government has not only fabricated a "punch" to deflect the heat from his boss, but, after being found out the first time, he *may* have used his friend's Facebook account to circulate another entirely fabricated story to try and smear his political opponents.
Even the writers of The Thick Of It would find this story too incredible to script!
[Pictures in the comments to show the proof of various parts of the story for those who have dismissed me as a "mad conspiracy theorist". The "conspiracies" are real. All you have to do is open your eyes.]

As a moderator I hold many bits of information that never get disclosed. Maybe I hold information on you, but I will not be saying.
I have no secrets whatsoever.
Hopefully you will be able to explain your dodgy comment tomorrow to Saffy. I'm not sure the forum would approve of moderators behaving badly.
I am not in the business of trying to embarass people, so as much as you might want it what I know stays with me.
You are now sounding like Corbyn denying Ashworth's comments
If you really want to complain about crude comments maybe you should pen a letter to CCHQ and mention remarks by your leader. There are plenty of them, but I will not repeat them here.
It was over your head. It wasn’t personal, you fool. You embarrass yourself with your failure to understand.
PS Have the Tories sold the UK spelling of ‘dialogue’ to the Americans?
I hadn't looked at all of the links... only so many hours in the day, but it popped up on my fb feed...
Twice on one page!
I’ve been answering posts in order. It did make me laugh when I got to ofh’s reply above. My similar reply to a Swollen Head comment was made before I read ofh’s.
