"and never, never ever admit to reading the Daily Mail!"But where do you think that I read that story of the plucky lone Farage manning the beaches against the refugees of a different hue?

"Slag off Farage ~ use the words racist, xenophobic and populist as much as possible"Your wish is my command.Hypocritical populist Nigel Farage, despite saying that people should stick to lockdown, heads twice off to the coast to highlight reports of migrants crossing the Channel. Rejects police warning, claiming that he is a "journalist" and that as journalists are essential workers, he is not someone who has to stick to lockdown. Following in the footsteps of that other xenophobic "journalist" Tommy Robinson, I guess.

My views would tick all these boxes but the good thing about this Forum is that there is a wide range of views on offer. It would be the worse for it if it was just an echo chamber for people on the left, the right or the middle. As far as I know the only thing Sue and I agree on is how to make a cup of tea but you never know ...

Very good Sue!Not that this will garner you much appreciation here of course, but t’was ever thus I suspect.

Very useful guide! If only everyone would stick to it!

William Hazlitt had some apposite thoughts:"The most insignificant people are the most apt to sneer at others. They are safe from reprisals. And have no hope of rising in their own self esteem but by lowering their neighbours."

"A few helpful tips (for you) to be made welcome on this forum"Glad to see that you do not find these things offensive in any way. By the way, you also forgot to mention Abraham Lincoln - sorry, I mean Donald Trump.

David Ainsworth ● 2225d

Oh yes I forgot to mention you Richard!

Sue Hammond ● 2225d

You forgot the biggest one of all, which is:Don't attempt sensible argument with anyone who disagrees with you, just sneer at them instead.
