      And in all those cases you get a chance to explain any irregularities before the conclusion is drawn that you're doing something wrong. And you don't get shot.

        Same as the Vatican and the bible, same as Rabbi's and the Tanakh. Some of the intepretations I saw when working in Israel were bordering on the ridiculous.
        Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

          He didn't get shot because he was an illegal immigrant, he got shot because he was in the wrong place at the wrong time.

          Correlation + causation.

          actually I suspect in certain situations you might not get the opportunity, I don't think yesterday afternoon they asked the guys with knives charging at them if they were jobbing butchers or Islamic surgeons moonlighting.

            However the religionists argue it the facts remain:

            1. they put their faith in some books written thousands ago.
            2. they have no evidence they can produce to show these books originate in any way other than from other men.

            It's all bollux.

              Wrong places wrong times

              The police had been tracking him for a while and made a number of errors before going in for the kill

                  So the status of his paperwork was actually completely irrelevant and it was rather spiteful and unnecessary for you to raise the subject.

                    Anyways, what do we think the jump in UKIP vote will be? I think between 5 and 10%
                    It won't have any effect on UKIP's vote since one of the guys was born in Britain. His parents live in a little village outside Lincoln FFS. All the murderous local terrorists so far seem to be British born.

                      Depends on how the UKIP use the 'opportunity' really.

                      Lincoln is a huge base of UKIP votes, ironically.
