    You going to answer my first question? I found your post dismissive of anyone that isn’t following your political view and as I said, patronising beyond belief.
    This from someone who hates this government and all it stands for.

    He had a point, but I was just going out for the day, so I was a bit short with him. If he reads this, I apologise.

    I was quite clearly exaggerating for effect there, and that part wasn't specifically aimed at you anyway.

    Point being, it's standard politics **** that if someone offers up an opinion that even slightly is away from the majority they get labelled as an extreme from the other side.

    We saw it on the Coronatics thread earlier this year.

    I think then that you need to read all the exchanges from start to finish. I questioned Billy's honesty throughout. He posted the Pfeffel fluttering hearts, then claimed to know nothing about politics and was just on here to learn. But while he did that he consistently pushed a pro Pfeffel agenda. When I raised his post he just disappeared. I still reckon he was here to wind up. Anyway, like I said if as a group you prefer me not to post I'll combine sex and travel.

    What makes you think he hasn't read the whole exchange? Seems an odd assumption to make.

    Still not answered my question; still ignored my comment about your post that I replied to and the blatant putting down of anyone who isn’t left wing; Assumed I haven’t read the exchange. Yep, a politician.

    One of the reasons this board works so well is that it is a community. People get to know other posters’ style and personality. It was clear to me the fluttering hearts were not a sign of Billy’s undying love for Boris.

    Simply because if he had read the whole thread his response seemed to me rather OTT.

    Then there are two possible explanations. Sarcasm or WUMery. I don't accept that I'm left wing btw. Archers would certainly support me on that.

    Well I've read the while exchange and thought he was spot on. I called you out for being a provocative **** last night. Not hard for anyone to see who doesn't have blinding allegiances.

    Fats I agree with you about Farked’s attack, it was a sweeping generalisation about right wing leaning people. I have to say I am probably well to the left of the current Labour leadership but generally support them. If, however, someone came to my door canvassing for the Labour Party using the kind of language Farked used,I would almost certainly go and vote Green or Lib Dem.

    By the way, in case you didn’t see my post earlier, the reason nothing was done at the time was that I was out on a 10 mile walk and didn’t catch up with the forum until early evening. I would definitely have stepped in earlier if I had been on here.

    He wanted to start a thread on "religion" knowing full well it would end up in arguments or a heated debate. He then said he wanted this politics thread closed down yet still constantly posted on it. He then claimed to have little knowledge on the subject and wanted to learn more but slated other peoples view despite already admitting to having next to no idea about the subject hes posting about. Hes been on a wind up the last 2 days , the guys a complete tosser!
