Knightwire is fishing, can't believe how many of you have taken a bite.
I thought he might be taking the piss when he suggested Biden's dead and replaced with a double but it's hard to tell. He posted his liability on Trump, over £4K at the time.

Biden isn't a clone and Knightwire knows it. Biden is simply on the Marina Ambramovich diet, anyone who's anyone knows that.

Gotta be the highlight.

That's a different protest.

Highlight for me was the DC cop right hooking a 'protester'

Sweet!
I think they would label themselves as protesters, especially considering what others are labeling them as. You can get over that now if you like, it wasn't/isn't a grudge match. I like it how you're blunt and to the point, regardless if we agree or not.

Its still my highlight but a good old Bobby knock isn't bad either.

You've lost me there James honestly. I was just pointing out that video is from a BLM protest not from what's happening right now.

As for whats going on as we speak, some are rioters some are just protesters. I think the guy the cop laid out is more a rioter than protester though.

And I don't have a grudge against you, you're not the worst by any stretch we just have a different perspective on certain things and there's nothing wrong with that.

Fuck this, I'm gonna find something to trade. :lol:
yeh put some backing on trump to leave in 2021 Derek please... that way i can take your money as a layer! :lol:
You've lost £5K and you're advising me what to do with my money. :lol:
Derek in case you hadnt noticed , i am incredibly upbeat for someone who has apparently "lost" £5k? Maybe thats cos i know i HAVNT lost £5K! i have strong confidence that Betfair will pay out when Trump wins, so it was the safest bet i ever made!

I'm increasingly of that opinion.
I came to that conclusion a while back. I'm just amazed by Derek's durability! How long can it last! :D

Do you mind if I ask how much it's costing each of you to sue Betfair over a bet that lost?

Betfair are giving indications that they may voluntarily pay out once Trump WINS. They also sent me an email saying they will abide by any IBAS decision. So it shouldnt cost anything. But if it does go to the legal lawsuit, i guess there will be some sort of commissiont to pay to lawyers etc

https://youtu.be/FJG-9Dk01DA
You avoided the question as usual - how much is the lawsuit of over 1000 people including you costing?

You can't critisise my for not wasting 3 hours of my time watching your fantasy videos when you can't find 15 seconds to reply!
sorry if i missed your question Derek, i do try to give you my full attention, but so many posts on this thread i do miss things at times :(

There is no lawsuit as such as yet. Over 1000 have signed up to it, if it goes that far, and will be with a no win no fee solicitor. We have to see if first Betfair will pay up without it going to court. If they dont, or if IBAS rule in their favour (which we doubt) we go with the lawsuit

well said! Although i have seen videos of how amazingly lifelike clones can be, so im not ruling it out ;) As for Abramovich, my guess is she was taken out long ago. One of Trumps main objectives was to stamp out human trafficking, and from what i hear he went after the main offenders pretty early on after he got to power

Pat you never gave references as to which amazing authority had done the "debunking" you mentioned earlier?
