Remotely interested...

I'm not bothered, as I'm probably just as fat and ugly, even shallow perhaps, but I'm certainly not a failed comedian who has to resort to telling sick "jokes" and who may well have opened a Pandora's box in terms of people with limited mental capacity now realising what a jolly jape it would be to throw battery acid over someone.

Because, I’m not aware of one justifiable reason for not doing so, plus, as we’ve again seen recently, it’s those who do indulge in such ludicrous behaviour, upon whom it reflects most badly. 

Just to put Pete’s question into context for less regular readers of TFF. A few weeks ago, on the 27th of May, a TFF member wanting to draw attention to stats, figures, and how they could be assessed, and posted a link that brought up a video from ITV’s Good Morning Britain, the morning television programme. A video available on countless platforms across the Internet that day. And also hosted by numerous newspaper sites. This alternative viewpoint however, was never deemed worthy of consideration. It was invalidated immediately on the basis that the video was being hosted by the Daily Express website. The following day, the same poster attempted to highlight an opinion piece by a columnist for a different newspaper, Again the content of which got completely ignored and a familiar lesson on the ownership and editorial policy of The Daily Mail during the 1930’s was provided instead.

This is ludicrous behaviour. Yet Plainmoorpete asks me why I don’t choose to behave in similar disreputable fashion to the censorious Left ? If someone asked me to suggest a fair and even handed source to learn about the candidates for the Tory leadership, or for somewhere that would provide an unbiased account of the current difficult situation between Iran and the United States, then the BBC would be one of the very last places I would recommend. But that is a world away from suggesting they would falsify dry figures that have been provided to them.

The acid attack victim stats were collated by the Metropolitan Police. To consider that the BBC couldn’t be trusted not to falsify the actual figures, is as daft as refusing not to believe the football results that I also read on the BBC, or how many votes were cast in favour of Boris last Thursday, in case the BBC News wanted to underplay them, and sneakily move 30 votes across in favour of Jeremy Hunt.

Blatant falsification of that level would be madness on the part of the BBC, and bring about a level of mistrust, so that it’s current more subtle propaganda (of which I apparently 'spend most of my time deriding’) could no longer be practised.

My approach is clearly in stark contrast to the Left’s fears that the Express might have manipulated the GMTV video so that a different set of results for the Euro election are spoken about. The slightest attempt at falsification by The Express would be pounced upon within minutes. Farage’s words and calculations in that video were available from countless sources, and the slightest alteration immediately detectable.

The Metropolitan Police stats shown by the BBC, would also have been disseminated widely and easily checked. The robotic Express = Bad = Ignore type of reaction, is the sort of closed mindset I have no wish to adapt or apply to the BBC.

So while I hope that most TFF members will, like me, refuse to normalise the ridiculous ‘no platforming, no discussion’ on the basis of a simple link to a mainstream newspaper, and an excuse to delegitimise basis factual content that would be identical elsewhere, wouldn’t it have been interesting if Pete was just as inquisitive about the vastly more extreme approach of others, rather than wondering why I show no inclination to keep up with them ?

Some members of the TFF might not be aware of what a Sloth is. For those that don't know, it's an animal that moves very slowly! All members of course will be aware of what Speed is! I don't mean going at a fast speed (I once drove over 70mph...in reverse) I mean the recreational drug (is it a drug?) Speed! 

I once went to a Speed party in Harare! The Speed was placed around the house in galvanized buckets...just dip your cup in, and on you go! My mate The Badger (good job he died of AID's some time ago, 'cause with even a nickname Badger, that's enough to get you shot in this country) and myself just drank beer. 

The irony with Speed is, it's name! You think you're racing around (we spoke with some of the participants next day) but in reality, you're not. The Badger (the sex 18 times in one day man...with Blodwyn...lovely girl!  ) and I were in hysterics, watching these people walking around like Zombies!

Taking drugs has it's downside of course, on the way out I saw a guy (18) lying on his back...which is not a good idea after taking that shit...so I put him in the coma position! Sadly he didn't stay in it, rolled onto his back again and chocked to death!

Some of you might be thinking, what's wrong with this guy, does he live in another world!

Let me explain...if you have a rib injury (as I have)...it makes you walk around like a Sloth on Speed! 

Well, I see that our Nigel has come out with some strange ideas! 

He wants to stop throwing away 15 Billion a year in foreign aid! 

He wants to stop HS2!   How much have we thrown at it so far? Somewhere in the region of 40 Billion, and we haven't laid two feet of track yet! 

He wants to stop the Catastrophic Union from getting 39 Billion from us (a figure they just pulled out of a Jamboree Bag) should we ever leave the Catastrophic Union! 

He wants to use all the money saved (you do the maths) for things that need to be fixed (there's an awful lot) in this country! 

That Nigel...he's a card! 



For those of you that haven't realized yet...I agree with all those things Nigel proposes! 

Of course it will never happen...Nigel will not become PM...we will continue to throw away 15 Billion a year (Corbett wants to increase it)...we will continue with HS2 (how much will it eventually cost - 100 Billion - 200 Billion - 300 Billion)...we will pay the Catastrophic Union 39 Billion whether we leave or not)...we will continue to spend sod all on this country! 

I'm not saying we shouldn't give aid, if there's an earthquake in Nepal or wherever, then give them x amount of millions! 

Not a million to the Nigerian Spice Girls...400 Million a year to the President of Mozambique, who bought a private helicopter worth millions a few years back! 

The sooner we get rid of all the hangers on around us...Scotland and the ilk, the sooner we can actually get somewhere! They all say how much better it would be without us, but as you say, if they did leave us they would be committing suicide!
