I’m glad you are laughing as permanent anger is not really good for you….,

You haven't got a clue, have you? You think I'm angry - you fool.

I laugh at every comment you make about me. We'll get more sense out of two short planks!

You are a very slight distraction, which I indulge in for a bit of levity, while pursuing far more important things than you will ever be...

The pygmies showing themselves up?

They are all scared of their electorate who regard Boris in far higher esteem. Like him (me) or loath him (you) but you have to admit he’s head and shoulders above any other U.K. politician and would be voted for even as an independent in any current Tory constituency…….

Still hammering on about anger, I see. You're like a broken record.

Yeah, I'll give you clues as to what I see as more important than having a laugh at your expense.
1. Finishing an article for a quarterly magazine for its September issue. Copy and photos to be in by July.
2. Preparing the blurb and selecting the photos for my annual talks at the Kent Battle of Britain Museum in Hawkinge, Kent, in the second weekend of August.
3. Completely updating a book I co-wrote with another researcher that was published in 1995. Updated information and a lot of new photos that have come to light. Three publishers are interested in it: Red Kite (who published my two most recent books); Pen & Sword (they approached me asking if they could take it once they found out about my work on the update), and Schiffer Publishing in Atglen, PA, USA, who have published three of my other books.
4. Continuing work on contributing to the book series 'Battle of Britain Combat Archive' by Red Kite (up to 13 volumes [15th September 1940] at present) as a 'Specialist Contributor'. I also proof-read every volume for Simon Parry.

There you are, pete, you and everyone else who reads this knows now. Plenty to keep me going.

If I may say so sir, that is a quite fabulous contribution not only to your immediate community, but to the greater public at large (and I'm sure scholars and researchers world wide), and important to the memory of those that served and paid the ultimate cost to keep these once great isles free from tyranny and terror.
A beacon of virtue and your passion speaks more volumes than can ever be published. Bravo.

And right on cue, @bicycleheader contributes nothing more than another middle finger. What a waste of internet usage you are.

Here’s a contribution for ya, sorry for wasting more internet on it


Post in thread 'Reports of shots outside UK Parliament'

I enjoy listening to Tommy Robinson. Whether you agree with his opinion or not, he is confident, brave and knowledgeable, and usually backs up his opinions with some kind of evidence, facts etc.

I'd argue that his opinions are more balanced than the opinions of those who refuse to engage with him.

He encourages and welcomes others to debate and engage with him. Many choose not too. He is often drowned out and responded to with cries of 'racist, fascist' etc. I have respect for him for being willing to discuss and debate his opinions. I have less respect for those who stick their fingers in their ears, insult him, abuse him and refuse to answer. For many, it's easier to call him racist and end the conversation there, than be willing to debate with him.

That said, he was part of the EDL....that's his biggest problem and it has not done him any favours. The typical EDL member is a knuckle-dragger of the highest order. But, your average knuckle-dragger is not given the opportunity to debate their opinions on TV.

There are many interviews on TV / internet featuring Tommy Robinson. The BBC have welcomed him onto radio shows, The Big One on BBC Sunday Mornings. Even the Oxford Student Union gave him a one hour platform to speak and applauded him off at the end. Did they all agree with him? Probably not, but he was given a fair opportunity to make his point. What is fairer than that?

The offer is open to you, pete, (that I made to roydo the other week), as to everyone else: Get down to the Kent Battle of Britain Museum on 12th or 13th August, tell them on the door that you're here to see the Scouser giving his talks, and I'll pay your admission fee. I'll also treat you to lunch at The Jackdaw in Denton - that pub featured in the 'Battle of Britain' film that came out in the late-1960s. And in my breaks, I'll show you round the museum and point out pertinent exhibits. But this offer is only for the first to do so. If a gang of you pile in, you'll financially cripple me!

Here's a pic of me giving a talk in a previous year. I give quite a few short talks each day (so as not to delay the customers too much, as there is so much for them to see) as the customers come through one of the exhibition halls.

And one of me with the daughter and grandson of a Battle of Britain pilot, Ron Duckenfield of 501 Squadron.

Thanks for raising that. Utterly despicable. But not a surprise. Quite the cloister of far right tories festering isn't it.

Does it matter when Starmer refuses to say when he made contact to recruit her. Boris may well have done so in the naive view that she was not a closet Labour supporter. Everyone makes mistakes…Boris even believed the committee would do its job without bias…I’d sack him just for that……

My God...you mean...you mean ..Starmer may have been a bit dishonest, a politician being dishonest and you hold that against him, you think its wrong, Starmer actually being a bit dishonest ? Thank God you don't have double standards then Pete, I mean fancy anyone thinking Boris could ever tell a lie, God forgive me for even thinking it....Night Pete..
