"the lily-livered apologist above"

You have nothing whatsoever to base that on - I have read this thread without any comment for or against, but merely drew attention to what you actually said.

It may well be that you nor Billy meant it to be taken literally, but there was no indication of that in what you said, and bearing in mind your frequently aggressive and beligerent posts, it could well have been that you meant it literally. Personally, I prefer people to say what they mean so that there can be no misunderstanding. As I'm sure you would agree, there are 'dim' people out there, or simply those who don't expect to have to read between the lines to understand what someone is saying.

As to my own stance, I am totally anti-BNP and all they stand for, and am not afraid to say so, but I am also against physical violence and would not contemplate using it in other than direct defence.

If that doesn't suit you, I am happy to agree to differ, without throwing unmerited insults around.
