Doesn't make it alright

[BrianV]

Apologies for the over-sensitive amongst you.
Auto-correct changed supercilious to supersillyarse.
And bespeckled wasn't meant in the lesser spotted sense but should be spectacled in the clueness nerd sense.

Probably right the first time, somehow politicians these days do not look like people demanding respect & authority, more like they just popped in off the street by mistake.

Here's some mostly bespeckled and rainbowed scottish greens.
From left to right, we have:
stern, stern, smug, supersillyarse, stern and silly

I think I would change the far left description to pretty furious and the lady in pink to sh!t scared

You confuse “facts” with what you think is right. Those two things are completely different. Using internet links to people who have the same view as you is no way to establish “facts”. It is in fact a method of reinforcing your own prejudice.

Not really, though something predictable from you.

If the e.g. the ONS, NAO etc. publish some stat's, they will have been publicly audited and can be referred to as a reliable primary source.

If a given politician or recognised expert in whatever has stated something, in speech or in written form, this can be referenced as actually having occurred.

You throw around the word prejudice very easily; so prove it... produce a single instance on here when I, confronted with demonstrable fact and regardless of whether I like it, have not accepted it as such.

Depends on what you class as a 'fact'. In science there is no real agree definition of a fact, merely there is an consensus on what is accepted as best supported by evidence and what is not supported by evidence.

The problems start when you have an opinion, attitude or belief that isn't supported by any scientific consensus or evidence. But that doesn't hold back a good portion of TFF who don't seem to want to know anyway.

Wanton dwarf, is this where the UK and much of europe heading?

Yes if current policies and attitudes by government and civil service and police continue

Yes, there's been a theory that the earth is flat before and there was scientific concensus and evidence to support it .
You just go with the herd ollie and don't even listen to or acknowledge alternative theories that could have merit ...the opposite of real science, in other words.
