I don't think where anyone lives has any bearing on this matter at all...

Well the point was that she was claiming to be something she was not.

" Doesn't she know that Wrecker's Blood runs through our veins...and it matters not if it's a BMW bike, a box of oranges or 75 years of 'newborn' nappies...A WRECK IS A WRECK and it's cargo belongs to the people of The West Country!!!!!!!!!!"

Well it seems she is not from the West Country but from Pinner.

Otherwise you are correct it does not matter where she comes from.

Ms Cornish was referring to something in terms directly contradictory to those she had used earlier this year.

I pointed out the contradiction. I would have thought that was debate.

I agree it is not constructive - neither was Lizzie's spurious argument about closing the fair down because of one individual's idiocy, ignoring far greater mistreatment of animals due to things like National Hunt Racing and 3-day eventing, something she has failed so far to address.
