    If you had just replied with "Of course not", then my follow-up question would not have happened, but no, you decided to add in one of your comments that is written poorly grammatically, so that you can weasel your way out when someone challenges you - do you agree?

    Here's a picture taken in a darkened London street of Ian Tomlinson with his face covered in the presence of other rioters:

    The person behind him with his face covered is not actually another rioter, but Simon Harwood.

    Here's some video:
    No I do not agree.
    (Incidentally, I did reply 'of course not', then gave a scenario where the silent majority might back some police violence)

    Given, that the Tomlinson incident happened in the day, and my 'IF scenario' was on 'a darkened London street' - why would you think I'm trying to refer to Tomlinson in my scenario? Is your comprehension that bad, or are you just that desperate to clutch to straws??

    Seriously, have a reread of the thread without your bias against me - it's your misunderstanding, not me trying to misrepresent Tomlinson

    To answer your question (again), of course he didn't deserve that, as I told you originally, when I let you know your question was thoroughly stupid.

    You haven’t clearly stated without adding in “IF”, or other excuses, that you 100% condemn his killing by the police.

    Dress it up however you desire. I'm glad you agree it is a thoroughly stupid question.

    If someone is selling newspapers, is he an “other rioter” or someone doing his job?

    Be interested to know which of these promises that you think are being delivered on.

    Or, in the real world these are the promises made during the campaign (dates and who made the promises all listed) ..... linky

    But don't let the truth get in the way of your ignorance.

    Be interested to know which of these promises that you think are being delivered on.

    Edit: I expect you to come back with some bedwetting comment rather than answer the question as usual.

    Indeed..................
    Indeed ... a referendum based on lies.

    The option was always

    1) A Norway, Canada style agreement or/

    2) Crash out

    The populace were told Brexit would be an easy process and we'd get the best deal ever in no time at all. 2 years later and we're on the brink of crashing out and those with the least today will lose the most post Brexit.

    I'm all for no deal, it's what the voting public deserve. A few hard years will maybe make people reflect how good we had it in Europe. Whether we ever vote to go back in, or remain stubborn and once again become the poor man of Europe (or more likely, the 51st state of the US and Trump's bitch) will remain to be seen.

    In the meantime, I'll increase my property portfolio and look to take early retirement and live off the income. Watching from the sidelines could be fun

    It is for similar reasons, why we (the UK) are relatively silent on Saudi Arabia - due to arms sales.....

    If you're upset with that, I suggest you form a new political party
