Do you not think you ought to have done your own research before you started swinging your bat around ? Quote - "China Virus". On multiple occasions. Despite people very politely asking him to stop. Not "borderline racism" but "actual" racism. He's moved on to using slurs about people's jobs since then in an attempt to demean them. Such as using "burger flipper" as a directed insult towards someone. Which is fair play but there's that old saying about being able to take it if you dish it out. Done my own research!! Who the f*ck are you? Don't be so f*cking pompous. I asked a perfectly reasonable question which he reasonably answered. Just because I haven't read every single post on here doesn't mean I can't ask something. Untwist your undies. What do you think now that your question has been answered?

Stranded introduced me and probably a few others to the term "Gish gallop" you'll need to look it up, tvor is the master, he posts something that he's picked up elsewhere and when he's challenged he doesn't respond to the challenge he just finds something else to cut and paste. I'd think he was just winding us up but he clearly gets upset about the challenges, personally I hate to see a pile on but he never engages in debate, I wish he would.

After letting on that he worked for British Arrospace on the Nimrods in the 80s, he readily admitted that although running a 4” jet fuel hose down the cabin of a combat aircraft was OK as a workaround to allow in-flight refuelling and get the aircraft down to the Falklands*, that and the rest of the overall fuel system modification probably shouldn’t have been kept in that state for the remainder of the life of the type (Google “Nimrod XV230” for more…) Anyhow, the reason for saying this is that the fella clearly engages when it’s something of genuine interest. As such, I can’t help thinking he just posts the political stuff for aggro reasons. *Fun fact: Nimrods were also fitted with Sidewinders at that time, making them the world’s largest ever fighter aircraft (kinda).

I have come to the conclusion after too many years spent on various elements of social media, that if you're contributing, you can entertain, enlighten or enrage. You can also do a combination of any and all three. But if you're only really in it for the latter reason, it's not the people you're enraging who have the main issue.

I saw the sidewinders at the boardwalk circa 1978.

Adds nothing I'm afraid other than the opportunity for Wirralhatter to exercise his digit in posting the occasional 'like' for whatever utter nonsense he's come up with, followed by the usual run down on his daily plans (which is f*cking weird by the way). There's no point in posting a provocative political post then not engaging. Just a waste of everyone's time. And, the occasional outburst of xenophobia bordering on racism, with a casual racist slur (thrown in twice for good measure), I don't find acceptable. And I don't think there's much in the cesspool of the internet that I'd consider unacceptable.

Donnie pissing off the armed forces again www.theguardian.com/us-news/article/2024/aug/29/arlington-cemetery-altercation-trump-visittbh I really don’t like the idea of treating a veteran cemetery as a hallowed shrine or sacred ground. That said, I can see why the forces and families of KIAs would rather politicians didn’t use the cemeteries for photo ops, especially politicians who have shown so much contempt for KIAs in the past (along with current servicemen - a military employee tried keeping Donnie out of the cemetery but got shoved aside by staffers)

And the mice in the attic have definitely chewed through the wiring. That said, he's still evens to win. If the USA vote him in then frankly they deserve the attack on their rights and their Constitution that is around the corner.

Granted, there's a lot of things Americans love that he openly holds in contempt - family values, Christian virtues, etc - all of which leave me baffled as to why they'd ever love him. For some reason, though, his contempt for the armed forces is the one that baffles me the most. I'm pretty sure no other nation on earth sanctifies their armed forces as much as Americans do
