If you call me biased but don't all others biased for expressing exactly the same views with exactly the same reasoning, that just proves you're biased. :lol:

It's all well and good reading a definition of bigot, now you need to understand the definition.

Anyone with a brain will tell you, you cannot spend weeks telling people to keep their distance, then attend a crowded party and not know you're breaking the rules. You can't tell people not to have unnecessary gatherings, hold a leaving do and claim that's necessary. That's called making up the rules as you go along and breaking the old ones. To say you haven't broken the rules because you changed them is lying, plain and simple. Anyone can see that even if you can't.

What about all of us that tell people with absolute certainty not to chase losses. Are we all bigots?
There is so much misinterpretation and confusion in what you say, so much twisting of my words that it's impossible to have a reasoned exchange with you. One simple example ... just because I don't say (some) 'others' are biased doesn't mean I don't consider them so.

There is no point in continuing this, clearly you are right on everything as always (sounds close to bigotry to me). I am unsubscribing from this thread so you can waste your time responding if you wish but I will not waste another second.

I think your problem is that you have a zero tolerance towards people who don't understand what you're saying 100%, and that's probably everybody else in the world. Humans don't communicate in the same manner and accuracy as computers and I try to allow for that.

You wouldn't recognise a biased person if they jumped on your head. Bias is defending somebody guilty as hell mindlessly and without any logic or reason, which is what you've been doing constantly with the buffoon. I've actually given a comprehensive and undisputable reason as to why he can safely be called a lying git, and one again, your only response is to unsubscribe to the thread. :D

I've ditched Grammarly because it's too formal, and switched to Microsoft Editor. It's got a geopolitical reference filter to stop me from causing offence. :lol:

I really don't see the logic of sticking people on a barge.

I think the logic is that the barge may get stolen and towed away to a remote island. :)

Perhaps!
Maybe somewhere like Madagascar

I'd definitely prefer that to Rwanda. Doesn't look too bad to me, just 7.5º south of the equator, beats this flipping weather!

Bitch Braverman, despite being a former attorney general, doesn't understand the justice system. She thinks courts are for legally challenging what other people do, not her and would probably have defence lawyers sent to Rwanda if she had her way. Her attitude is straight out of Blackadder:

"Who will defend the accused ... and thus condemn himself to certain burning at the stake?" :lol:

Good idea, can't be causing any offence nowadays. You'll get cancelled faster than a footballer whose racist tweets from 1997 just resurfaced.

Bitch Braverman: Lawyers who game our asylum system by lying are a stain on the legal profession.!

Aren't prime ministers and MPs that game parliament by lying (to claim expences, party during lockdown, keep their job, etc.) a stain on parliament?

Don't worry Microsoft, Bitch Braverman won't read it. :lol:
