How is he managing this? What sort of visa does he have? Will it be renewed? ...and who really cares anyway?

My understanding is they have a gadget that checks if the applied window tint is within their specifications so it's not an arbitrary 'too dark' opinion.

Is Richard Branson squatting here on retirement extensions then? Somewhere out by Ubon maybe? Living the relatively easy life while posting opinions on an empire lost the loss of something he already abandoned decades ago and can hardly remember with any degree of accuracy or relevancy?

Is that a different way of saying, "Do you own research"?

Where have I said I live in Bradford...? Thought so. It's just that I asked you where you lived. That simple question in a single, separate paragraph. Hardly confusing but your response was a video related to some police incident in Bradford. Throughout this thread, you have been demanding various members that hold an opposing view to the thread's flawed premise to answer your questions. When they don't you accuse them of somehow being at best disingenuous at ignorant at worst before casting them off as an irrelevancy. I just want to make sure I've got it right before I try it myself. Thanks (again).

So, you live in Bradford now? Or have you borrowed someone elses cherry picker are you just feeling other people's pain?

Speak for yourself BMT. I'm sixty-five and I pulled a proper stunner in the Tap Select in Oswaldtwistle one Saturday night last year. Said she was thirty-something but I reckon +10 on that . Anyway, we grabbed an Indian on the way back to my mate's gaff. Made a right mess on the sofa mind you.

Where do you live now? I live in Thailand now but in the past five years or so, I have spent at least two months of the year in Lancashire around Blackburn, Burnley, Preston and Chorley. Last March, I drove into Accrington to collect an online purchase from Argos. I went through what some people probably call a no-go area? Looked clean and tidy with decent row houses and newer cars. Not a broken or boarded up window in sight and no graffiti either. The only thing that made me think I was in a "bad" part of the town were the ladies out shopping or walking on the pavement with kids or crossing the road with a pram. They were all those black-clad "letterbox" ones that soon-to-be former PM found entertaining.

Foreigners strutting around maskless feel empowered. That's all. They still can't vote, can't speak the lingo, get messed about by bureaucracy while being double charged or otherwise ripped off but Hey!...Look at me! No mask!

Next you'll be telling us about he defended his Egyptian helper and stormed out of a Cairo restaurant when the latter was refused admission. (as was already mentioned around Page 8 or 9)

The forum ignore list. The last redoubt of the feeble. Oh look! Here's Johnny come Lately. You're skipping classes. We wrapped up the "intelligence debate" around page 12 already but we're happy to doggy paddle for a spell so that some other members can keep up.

Oh... So you living in the UK now @transam? That's an awful long swim.

You wouldn't understand, move on... Swim @transam! Swim!!!

Absolutely agree 100% again (this is uncanny). However, you have to allow that despite the 'real world people' possibly having a firmer grasp on reality, there's a not insignificant amount of them that dwell solely in the Twitterverse and things of that ilk. Bloggers and so-called influencers and other charlatans play fast and loose with the truth solely for monetary gain and a tribe of 'followers'. On a broadsheet newspaper, there's typically a bold-face leader saying 'Opinion' or a commentary is clearly labelled op-ed with an editorial disclaimer. On t'internet there's no signage on the rabbit holes.

You would if you lived in a town like that,another drug dealer stabbed to death in slaugh yesterday by two others,by the look of them and their names sound Muslims. That in "the paper" is it? That "their names sound Muslims"? Try reading a different paper maybe? Maybe even try reading.

Oops... that didn't work.

Upped? You mean that the UK's immigration laws nowadays are more restrictive than in the Brigadier's time? That this "uncontrolled" immigration thingmabob that's consumed nigh-on 20 pages of dissent and opinion on this thread isn't really possible? I mean, if one of the few remaining full-service Commonwealth nations was to be suddenly overthrown by some evil, despotic chap, we poor disenfranchised white folks wouldn't be duty bound to welcome their robbed, raped and pillaged?

No, it is not racist. It's a rubbish PhotoShop job.

Huh? anti Brit? How did you infer that from my post about Australian racism? Don't panic. It happens a lot when some members stray into the deep end.

The fact that there is no middle ground these days and political parties of many nations have allowed themselves to be browbeaten, railroaded and hogwashed by their own extremists is a valid view which I share 100% However, in this instance, you (we) are off topic.

Good grief man. You had at least an hour to find a credible picture from t'internet and that's the best you could come up with?

Its a fact .doesn't matter who says it At the risk of some getting their panties in a bunch about being off topic, didn't a certain White House advisor introduce the greater unwashed to the perfectly acceptable (to them) concept of "alternative facts"? At least you're nailing your editorial colours to the mast here and not like that other chap who keeps carping on about terrible stuff he's reading in "the papers"? Well, sort of.

So you never read it then and just made up the 1991 part and really want to believe he meant actual butchery in the streets? Well, if you look at the list of stabbings in London alone this year perhaps that is not too far off. So your almost convinced that he was predicting the future rather than spouting the illusory, self-serving rhetoric of a decorated* but otherwise untalented politician? * that OK @transam?

Yup, it's right up there with their, "Some of my best friends are black lesbians" defense.

Hmmm... OK. If you say so. Oh, so you were there @transam when @proton had this epiphany? That was indeed either a remarkable coincidence or an amazing stroke of luck, eh?
