This post is MOST DEFINITELY a goad. As was the St Mandella one posted yesterday.

@ retrocop

I have assumed that you right-wingers did approve of the war and I now ask you to say I am wrong - again, did you approve of the war?

[retrocop]

No I didn't. The war was finished when Iraq was kicked out of Kuwait in the Ist Gulf War. Mr Hussein was doing a fine job keeping his people happy after that.

Says it all really. Self praise and all that....... If you don't share my view you must be intellectually inferior, so there. The very mind set of the liberal elitists that got us in this mess in the first place.

Obviously just a cultural misunderstanding brought on by a difference in world view between our visitors from sunnier climes and schoolchildren in full battle uniform.
They're not 'migrants', they're illegal immigrants. If they were 'migrating' they'd have valid papers and present themselves at a port of entry for assessment.
Never mind, denial can be used as a comfort blankie.

Best you start another OP of your own if you want to debate the Iraq war. This OP is concerned about mob violence in Calais.!!

@retrocop

I find you answer complete rubbish - how could the second gulf war be finished at the end of the first?

I believe you about not supporting the second gulf war - thousands wouidn't.

What are "Virtue Signalers"?

@ TOGO

It wasn't used in 'self praise' at all - it was actually quoting ( hence the quotation marks) yet another routine insult from Tora Tora Tora here :

Who on earth came up with that load of old tosh?
I thought I'd accidentally got onto a different site there for a minute.

[Zacs-Master]

Togo, It was a label which TTT saw fit to honour me with. It wasn't in inverted commas so I assumed he was, at last, acknowledging my intellectual superiority (cheesy grin).

[Baldric]

X'ed posts, thanks for that SD.

The way I understand this new phrase is that they are people who are so self congratulatory on their own extravagant displays of kindness,human understanding and humanity to others but not in my back yard thank you. I just wan't to give the impression I am so wonderful but that is far as my interest goes.!!

@ retrocop

I don't think you are stupid but you are being ingenuous; the horrible situation in Calais is the result of our interference in the Middle East which was executed and backed by right-wingers and deplored by moderates. The irony is that the people who backed the war are now jeering at the moderates.

[anotheoldgit]

Interesting to note that there was not one word of condemnation aimed at the illegals in Calais, from the head teacher or officials at the Highland Council.

All part and parcel of their terms of employment I presume?

I don't think I commented on the T Robinson thread, zacs.
Why would you think this thread is aimed at you?

[stuey]

OK, thanks, Retro: sort of like complete strangers strewing flowers and stuffed toys at the site of an unfortunate incident?

[retrocop]

Stuey
Pretty much just that. Baldric has just posted a better explanation than mine.

[Svejk]

Right wingers are to blame for Bliars war now, lol.
