PiedPiper - // I would say that one thing he and I have in common is a willingness to pursue a debate point to a satisfactory conclusion.


I could interpret that as. " I shall continue my character assassinations and subtle put downs until those opposing my views feel bullied into submission. //

You could - but you would be wrong.

I could say of your posts - "I am a nit-picking agitator who throws out provocative one-liners to attack attention and derail debates, and I resent people who are cleverer than me, and argue better than I can."

But then I would wrong too - wouldn't I?

It's all a matter of perception - that's all.

AOG - //Face it, you would not prefer this message going out per-se, judging by the way you are getting rather hot under the collar over it. //

Not at all - as you know I am a fierce and constant defender of free speech.

And I am not at all 'hot under the collar' - I am wearing an open-necked shirt, and I work in an air-conditioned office!! LOL!

LOL @ svejk!

//I refer again to Ed Milliband - do you really imagine as the election approached that he was so singularly unaware that he didn't know he stood less than no chance of being elected?//

Totally unaware. He was well ahead in the polls and I think his failure came as an enormous shock to him and to his supporters.

/// My point is this - Pegida is *overwhelmingly* supported by young white males in the UK. Sure this marcher may have seen representation from other demographics, but that doesn't necessarily mean that Pergida is as diverse as they would like us to believe. ///

/// Every set of press pictures confirms this. ///

And did you expect any different, have you not heard of selective publishing.

As I have said before when you (lord knows why!) decide you need to query my working arrangements - I am capable of multi-tasking.

Now - let's not drift off-thread shall we?

// I will never understand why people marching gets your adrenalin going, mikey ... yet women women and children under threat of sexual assault doesn't even raise an eyebrow.//

that would be because like so many on AB even on this thread, you dont bother to read the posts before allowing your mouth to run off

Perhaps when you practice what you preach.

Now that is pompous. Your verbosity is not an indicator of intelligence. //

Of course it's pompous - that was the entire point!

As was saying 'But then I would be wrong too ... wouldn't I' - did you miss that bit?

Congratulations AOB - your post is a record!!
