Subject: RE: BS: Post Brexit life in the UK
Quotes from Steve Shaw:
SS: 1.         As Dubya said, the trouble with the French is that they haven't even got a WORD for "entrepreneur" in their language
2.         I KNOW he didn’t actually say it,


NP: No need to argue with him any more. He’s arguing with himself

SS: I was being whimsical. Anyone normal here would have seen that. Dubya didn’t wave at Stevie Wonder either. It’s what we do to politicians, Nigel. Had I said it about a Saudi king my head and torso would now be in separate rooms. So I love to say stupid things about Dubya because I can. I find it devilishly amusing and I don’t expect anyone to think I’m telling the literal truth. Now move on, Nigel. You’ve flogged it to death. They do that in some non-democracies too. Un-po that long face of yours, otherwise it’ll set that way. I wonder whether that’s true...

NP: You may see me as 'po faced'. And say that you were being whimsical. But you put it forward as a statement (no emoticons, or other signals to suggest that you didn't believe what you were saying).
How many of the 'facts' that you propound in other threads are also your 'whimsy'?
Presumably there is no point disagreeing with you about anything, as once you are proved wrong you'll just say you never really meant it.

I think your credibility is well and truly self-scuppered.
