Subject: RE: BS: Brexit & other UK political topics
Nigel, as I explained I have several speeding convictions. Does that make me a convict? Well I suppose it does within the context of speeding convictions. I'm not a convict in the context of every other area of life. If I go to work on the train, I'm a commuter. When I'm at home watching the telly, I'm not a commuter. However, I may be a viewer. But I'm not a viewer when I'm weeding my veg plot. I suppose "convict" carries too much baggage for some people to stomach, unlike commuter or viewer. The plain fact is that yer man was convicted of breaking the lockdown laws, and, let's face it, they were real laws. Just like those speeding laws, which have handed me three, er, convictions, they handed fishy Rishi a conviction. Words, words, words...
