Someone who wants to join a political position should probably not repeatedly punch someone for pouring a drink over them. He's an antagonistic ***.

[retrocop]

Not me Balders . I am bemused and amused. Time for afternoon Tiffin at the local. I have come to the conclusion that some of the winos and rummies up the local can speak quite good sense. Chin Chin. See you later. :-)

[spathiphyllum]

That's fine pix, but it's nice when they can express than opinion without all the emotion that comes with it.

[Calicogirl]

People are just disagreeing with you Spath and you can't take it, so you get more and more wildly out of kilter then accuse everyone of being beastly to you. It's the same with every thread you involve yourself in, that's why you feel it's personal because you make it cease to be about the thread and all about you.

[spathiphyllum]

Retro, this isn't chatterbank. Although i'm sure you and baldric can have a nice little giggle about this later on.

[spathiphyllum]

Calico, still discussing me. The thread??

You manage to do that Spath nearly every time you join a thread with your drivel.

Danyal Mahmud should not have thrown the drink at TR, in doing so he has effectively played into his hands.

D Mahmud says he had moved location a few times and TR had continued to approach - the best plan would have been to leave the that street - even though I agree he shouldn't really have to resort to that.

No one comes out of this looking good.

[Calicogirl]

Spath YOU have just mentioned you, I was replying to that.

Please don't take this the wrong way, it's not a dig at all but I have a brother on the autistic spectrum who is a lot like you to have a conversation with sometimes. Are you on the Autistic Spectrum, it would maybe help to know when debating with you? x

[spathiphyllum]

"in doing so he has effectively played into his hands. "

I totally agree. It managed to make TR look like a victim, which comes sympathy and support. A dangerous cocktail with elections coming up.

[pixie374]

Out of interest, spath, to add the other side, what percentage do you agree that throwing drinks is acceptable?

[spathiphyllum]

I don't think it's acceptable at all. However, when a female throws a drink over a sleazy guy at the bar it seems acceptable.

[Calicogirl]

No that's not acceptable either Spath imho.

Practice what you preach, you have throw a fair amount of insults towards Tommy Robinson. in your attempts to make your point.

[spathiphyllum]

AOG i meant towards other AB members when trying to discuss a topic.

[retrocop]

// when a female throws a drink over a sleazy guy at the bar it seems acceptable.//

Again. Is that an opinion or personal experience?

[hereIam]

The Indian gentleman said the drink 'slipped out' of his hands !! Rubbish he threw it and Robinson was right to retaliate and I don't blame him. I wish I'd known he was in my home town, I would have gone to see him and see what he had to say.

[Baldric]

// I think trying to antagonise random people on the internet is a bit sad //

Agreed spath, so why don't you stop doing it?

[spathiphyllum]

I'm done, feel free to discuss further.

[anotheoldgit]

I wonder if the Indian guy gets arrested for common assault?

Don't hold your breath.

[Mamyalynne]

We'll have to wait and see if Danyal Mahmud is charged with an offence.
