    No it doesn't.

    Dodgy's argument makes total sense, and was as cogently expressed as always.

    Although that quote is phrased as a slightly dubious sounding logical inference, it really just makes a couple of related points (a) In a heated emotive debate people usually resort to making ad hominem attacks, and (b) It is reasonable to call out the agendas of your opponents if you feel that is relevant (and that isn't necessarily an ad hominem attack).

              Cavaliers rather than roundheads, so probably not many muslim or Jewish "members".

                DA, shouldn't you be shafting them out of their money instead of arguing with them?

                  UKUNCUT is sort of the khmer rouge of the UK Unions. Like the US when they gave them aid via a secret back door the unions are doing the same letting their idyllist freedom fighters carry out all the public disorder they don't to want to be seen doing.

                    I've google-oogled them and now I know a bit of what they're about.

                    Could we perhaps set up 'UKEVENMORECUT' and on my side of the north sea 'EUROLANDEVENMORECUT' for those of us who feel that governments should never spend more than 99% of what they recieved in tax the year before and should put the remaining 1% in a sovereign fund for a rainy day?

                    Or does that make me a 'fascist'?
