    If you're a Christian then you're not putting it into practice in this instance.  Granted we are all sinners, but we should still strive not to be.

    And no, I've not been chased away from my congregation and they are well aware of my OO membership.

    I wish you all the best.

    Love the sinner, hate the sin.  However, you show no contrition for being a scumbag, so I’ll stick with my position.

    ”I’ve not been chased away”, but i am “ex”...  I’m sure they are aware of your OO membership, and think as highly of it as I do.  There is no debate here - The Orange Order is a scummy society full of scummy people.  The literal dregs of humanity.  It is only right that this is pointed out to them as vehemently as possible so they can consider the error of their ways.

    And if you watch it properly, you'll notice that the marchers didn't say that line.

    If you really are a Christian, never mind an Elder, then you shouldn't calling people scum and talking about chasing them from society.  I say that as an ex-C of S member who switched denominations because of what the C of S has become. 

    Just the “followers on”?  

    An utter abdication of any responsibility.  Happy to be a Christian and call these people scum.  Being a Christian is not about sitting there watching people trying to appropriate your beliefs and letting them.  

    And of course you are an “ex CofS member”.  I would hope you would be chased from any self-respecting congregation.

    It's just the usual Labour spin-doctor's collection of uncorroborated assertions, stretching points and super-optomistic pish

    Here are the usual tell-tale signs:

    "An eyewitness suggested" - note the careful phrasing and the absence of direct quotes.

    "A recent case in point" - by what definition is an incident in 2017 recent?

    "Sir Keir Starmer’s party are now just four points behind the Nationalists in Westminster voting intention" - Even a 4% swing to Labour wouldn't take Mhari's seat. They would need nearer 13%. Ironically, Mhari's decision not to stand will give Labour a better chance, as she will have a big personal vote. I note, however, that wee Dougie Alexander doesn't appear to fancy his chances of retaking the seat. Funny that, given Liddle's optimism.

    "although other polls have the gap even narrower" - why not quote these fantastic polls, which still show Labour behind the SNP, even with the SNP "in complete disarray"

    "Were such a result to be replicated at a General Election, it would be highly likely Black would lose her seat of Paisley and Renfrewshire South." - as I point out above, they need around a 13% swing. What definition of "highly likely" is our Labour staffer using? Incidentally, I believe that Electoral Calculus's most recent prediction shows the SNP retaining the seat.

    "In recent weeks the SNP has seen six MPs confirm they will stand down at the General Election, with more announcements likely in the near future." - as I've already explained elsewhere on P'n'B, the SNP are currently asking MP's whether they intend to stand again, as seat boundary changes mean that they will not automatically be reselected. 

    "The end of Mhairi Black’s political career" - Everyone (except our Labour staffer) expects Mhari to stand for Holyrood at some point in the future. Does Liddle have some sort of inside knowledge that she never intends to stand for election again? I think not.

    That's 7 direct quotes from the spin-doctors pish, every single one of which is easily demonstrated to be false to a greater or lesser degree.

    @DiscoStu likes Liddle's article. He's easily fooled.

    Don’t expect a response from @DiscoStu.  He’s not here for an “honest debate”.

    Netherlands have 44 overs to chase it or we're through apparently - 6.3 an over

    Hopefully a few early wickets - the wicket looks like it should favour our bowlers (famous last words).

    This is the first time I think i have ever watched Scotland play so many games back to back, and the team has grown on me game by game.

    What an absolute mess of a programme.

    It's entertaining, but there's zero, sensible political chat.

    It rewards soundbites by having an audience who are more than willing to clap something punchy when it aligns with 'their side' than something with substance.

    Mhairi Black is a moron.

    But she is still considerably more intelligent than you.

    That's because you didn't read the article.

    Table 3 lists the control groups - North-East England and North-West England. The sensitivity section explains this. 

    You pointed us to a graph which you posted on 1 May.  No link to any article.

    It's the same story as before. Deaths in Scotland have gone up since MUP was introduced. But they've gone up a little less than they have in northern England (aka the control group). As such, this is being explained as MUP reducing deaths. 

    And given previous direction of travel, that is a sensible explanation.

    1.4% drop between March and April is very much the type of drop that would be in line with "start to fall off a cliff"

    Honestly do not understand what point you think you are making tbh.

    It is nowhere near starting to fall off a cliff.

    Yet another bollocks prediction.

    Well I said it would start falling off a cliff come April. The school I went to that means "starting from April."

    We've not even had April's figures yet, never mind the subsequent months.

    Nice of you to add an unprovoked massive L to your collection, though.

    Down to 8.7%.  

    What type of cliff is this?

    This is disgusting imo. Not right at all. 

    Others might not support her right to spout her bigoted views (although I’ve not seen anyone on here suggest that) - I do.  The more these views are ridiculed, the better.

    Doesn't really matter though eh, automatically dismissed as a bigot.  🤷🏼‍♀️ 

     

    Seen it all the last few years. 

     

    Good statement from the UN Special Rapporteur on Violence Against Women and Girls today though:

    Supporting the right to discuss these things properly. 👍

     

    <Waits for post about why either the UN is bad or stuff Reem Alsalem has said that was wrong (or both?), but no discussion of the content of the statement or why it might be necessary.>

     

    Goodnight 🙂

     

     

     

    No-one is stopping you discussing it.

    It’s a bit like letting Nick Griffin speak on Question Time.  The more people see how repugnant your views are, the better.
