We Earlier Had A Thread Criticising Katie Hopkins For Daring To Suggest That The Photograph Of The 'syrian Boy On Beach' Photo Was Staged. Well Get This Guy?

What's the connexion between a so-called "staged photograph" and who was ultimately responsible for the September 11th attacks?

[Svejk]

You've got a fan, aog.

[anotheoldgit]

It's connection.

The fact that this Left-Wing guy as made this suggestion, but has not been lampooned in the same fashion as Katie Hopkins has for her suggestion.

/// You've got a fan, aog. ///

Why, could this turn into yet another heated discussion? :0)

[THECORBYLOON]

I think SVEJK was referring to himself.

If you think connexion is spelt incorrectly, use a dictionary.

[Svejk]

I wouldn't normally, but connexion ?

[THECORBYLOON]

Look it up.

I didn't say it was spelt incorrectly, just pointing out the correct word now more widely used.

/// Connexion is an archaic variant of the noun we now spell connection. (Similarly, reflexion, inflexion, etc. are now most often spelled with the -ction ending.) It was fairly common in British English until the late 20th century, but today the spelling has faded out of use except in a few proper nouns (usually company names) and special uses. Many if not most speakers of British English would regard it as strange or incorrect, and most usage guides advise against it. ///

Anybody remember Partridge? Never got the difference between will and shall. Don't get it now.

[THECORBYLOON]

ANOTHEOLDGIT you got it wrong so you're backtracking. Chambers Dictionary thinks it's fine and no mention of it being archaic but since you keep on harping on about the good old days I'd have thought you'd be happy about its use

By the way since you have a dictionary at hand, look up "non" and "none" to see the difference in meanings.

[vetuste_ennemi]

Are you accusing AoG of being a reaxionary, CorbyLoon?

[New Judge]

In the time honoured way, within three answers the question does indeed turn into a heated argument. Not in the way imagined, though. A question on current affairs quickly turns into an argument about words, their spelling and usage !!!

In physiology, wrt limb joints, it is still flexion, as the opposite of extension. Because 'flex', for bend, is still in common usage, that one probably won't mutate.


Also in physiology, in order to "stage" a photo, first they'd have to murder the dead boy so Katie is effectively accusing someone, or several someones, of murder.

Based on a photo (and/or video clip).

In depth investigation there.

Didn't Bin Liner claim that 9/11 was organised by him? Why concoct stories of photo fakery to try and change that, after the event?

Any fakery should at least have pointed the finger at Iraqis, not Saudis, surely?

Just because your Chambers thinks it fine, does not mean it is the popular usage.

No mention of it at all in my ENGLISH Oxford dictionary, 'NON' and NONE also have two entirely different usage.

i.e. Non-British, I have 'NONE'.

Do they then have to murder every actor in Midsomers Murders to show that they are really dead?

Corbyn will NEVER be PM, so I don't care what he says, just ignore him !

[Retrochic]

I think what katie meant was that the photo was staged not the bleeding death! A small dead boy is found -the Police could have covered the body immediately and put the little soul on a stretcher where he lay, Instead they get a hefty policeman to gently lift the body uncovered, in full view of cameras and carry it up the beach. Is this normal Police protocol? Where were the CSI? yes this could have been staged.not saying it was but I can see where Ms Hopkins is coming from on this one.

[THECORBYLOON]

ANOTHEOLDGIT you often use "none" when you mean "non" and if you cannot find connexion, you should invest in a better dixionary...
