These forums are (often) akin to a Jerry Springer episode without the much needed violence. :rolleyes::cool:

I know these threads do wander off topic but the original post was rubbish and has yet to be backed up in it's entirety with any facts.

So just a trolling post then I assume?

Libellous remarks and personal attacks towards other members are NOT ALLOWED on this site. I suggest you delete those remarks or someone will report you...

Dervish would you like me to spend time and bring all your racists posts to the fore again?
However if I did this I would be allowing your racists remarks to get more air time than dwell in the gutter where they belong.

I hope the ban comes to cars soon. The amount of people i see smoking with children in their cars with the windows up is scandalous.

When the Dangerous Dog Act came in and an American Pit Bull (one of the four banned breeds) was seen in it's owners car without a muzzle on, our courts ruled that a car is a public place and that the ban should apply to a private car.

As a car is an enclosed space and a public place, smoking should not be allowed in cars it seems.

When I get to be Prime Minister, there will be a rule that requires smokers to stay inside for their cigarettes whilst sanctamonious do gooders are made to wait outside. Considerate non smokers will be welcome to stay inside. I will be implementing these arrangements entirely for health reasons. Not only will this protect the busy bodies from passive smoke but it will also shut their nagging up. Remember nagging causes stress and can have long term effects on health.

Looks like you're the one who's stressed...... why not have a fag to calm down??

Outside that is.

Great post & idea, thankyou.
Also Smoking is a distraction to the driver, this is driving without due care and attention.

Never mind that - go ahead and provide any evidence to back up your original post in it's entirety.

You have managed to avoid anyone questioning the validity of that post.
I am sure you will find that people will debate with you more readily if you have some facts to back up what you post.

dervish - feel free to choose which one of your past quotes wouldn't be classed as xenophobic or even racist... and that's not even counting the ones that were deleted :rolleyes:

Mostly true but MANY of the immigrants do cause a lot of problems also in terms of crime, social cohseion and drains on services.

The illegal immigramnts and asylum seekers also cause other problems thay they CAN help.

Well said

If it wasnt for Britain then the immigrants who want to come here probably wouldnt even be able to read and write as the Empire brought education to their (admittedly) backwards countrys.

a good example of the excellent things that the British Empire did for the people in India, Africa, Canada, Asia etc.

And now a lot of those immigrants come over here and seek to destroy the superb legacy we agve them.
