The points you made were not relevant to what I was asking. Whether I agree with them or not is for another post not the present one.

In response to my question about your views on immigration and violence, you wrote nothing.

You chose your own answer, Stirling.

This is why we can't stand politicians: they never answer the bloody question asked but their own instead. Honestly.

Did you answer my last paragraph? No.

Nah I’m not going to cherry pick words from your posts as that’s about as petty as you can get. I’m sure if you try hard enough you could anagram a few posts to fit your pistol.

I think you could liken it to the circular fouling that teams like Watford used to deploy when playing against Wilf.

The reason I'm reluctant to address these kind of opinions on language, immigration and violence is that I regard the construct you create as diversionary and hyperbolic.

For example, do you condemn those who spoke after the death of George Floyd for inflaming riots? Do you condemn the action of kneeing at football games for inflaming racial and political tensions at football games?

It's just hyperbolic....like saying shooting people in video games leads to school shootings. Yeah, maybe it partly influences someone mentally ill on a one in a trillion basis. However, one in a trillion probably die after eating chocolate.

So it's boring to have to endlessly deal with constructs like this, especially with a person who himself just ignores points and then has the gall to complain about that in others.

It seems a candle lit vigil for stabbed children is now classed as hate speech in Ireland now.

As a kid sitting outside in my brother’s car some of the patients would approach the car and stare in the windows. That was unsettling but I learned that such people existed because until then I did not.

I am though often forced to wonder if the switch to care in the community for all but the most dangerous is actually wise. At the rear of my current home is a purpose built bungalow inhabited by a guy in his 30s who has very obvious severe mental health issues. He wears a crash helmet all the time, has no verbal communication and only makes seagull like noises. He never appears to leave the property and is not seen in the locality. He is though given 24 hour, 365 days a year support, usually with 2 people during the day. I suspect he is taken on occasions to a support centre but I haven’t noticed it. He isn’t in any way living in the community. He is in care in the middle of the community. I think he would probably be better cared for in his own community.

For the avoidance of doubt any comments in response to a previous post are directed to its ideas and not at any, or all, posters personally.
