Apologise ? 🤣 

I never said I didn't believe in any causes. I asked you to tell me which ones you were referring to. Glad we got there eventually 👍 we can go back to the point now.

Women's safety & domestic violence are still big issues. This new protest legislation is anti-democratic & anti-British. IMO. It shouldn't be up to Priti Patel to pick & choose which protests to shut down.

So yes, I support folk who might choose to protest peacefully (outside of a pandemic) about those things and would go myself. So why do you think that means I've backed the wrong causes? If some tossers burn a police van as part of that protest, does that make my opinions or the cause invalid?

If you want Northern Ireland to stay part of the UK then have you backed the wrong horse because some loyalists rioted?

Honestly not interested in playing games with you mate. You can have as many points as you want if that's what floats your boat. Just looking for an honest answer to the above questions.

Everything always seems so black & white to you. Even with America, you see anyone who protests (against what is still an oppressive system) as a supporter of BLM.

It's a complex world mate. Never too late to learn that 👍

Oh, I hope you do realise that some republicans were also rioting in Northern Ireland, stop being so pathetic and selective in your finger pointing. Worse than Nolan you pal with that.

Enjoy your day,  I'm out now to top my tan up

The thing most complex is how you think these protests are helping the situation and causes you believe in fella.

Violent protests will not achieve anything.

 🐎

You just quoted me in a post above where I said that. Ya numpty 🤣 I've never claimed that. If you're gonna try & read people's minds you've never met then at least make an effort to understand their point first.

History tells us that protest does change things m'dear. I could write you a big long list if you like? 

The Northern Ireland comment wasn't finger pointing. It was an example of how you can believe in a cause without supporting violence. But again, you've missed that context.

I'll remind you of 'pathetic & selective finger pointing' next time you go on a tirade against the SNP & ignore any corruption coming out of the Tory party 😉

I see you didn't attempt to answer any of the questions I asked.

Enjoy the sunshine fella. Glorious day up in the Highlands today 🌞

Sun got to you has it 😄 🤣 

Yes, I quoted you, you lemon as I knew full well you had said it and you challenged me to find it which I easily did, please don't deflect from the original point you asked me.....you clown 🤡 😉 

Write a blog on where violent protests have changed things, go on son.... not protests but violent protests as I said...i think you either don't read fully what is said or yet again you're being very selective.

As for ignoring things, you point the finger at the Tories every time, but who is responsible for the ridiculous new laws passed up your way which don't really offer women protection and has everyone sensible in uproar ? Hmm, let me see 🤔  Funny your amazing mouth forgets that 😉 

Seems to be a recurring them with you Nats, blame the Tories.

Don't get burnt with your kilt on, or if you support the new laws in Scotland for women, then don't trip in your high heels you saucy tart 😉 😜 x

My town is red, I live in Wiggin according to your geography.

We might as well just cut out the middleman, create a new tax code that sticks a percentage of our salary straight into the accounts of cabinet members friends and families. Saves us fucking about.

Ha ha, and the mugs who keep voting the vermin in are responsible for this fucking farce.

And their tarts on the side (the free money)...

Good on him, he's such a lad.

Enjoy the blue skies 💙

Very good 😄

Doesn't look well when contracts are handed out to firms run by friends and family members whatever the cause.

Are we talking about the Hancock one re Topwood ?

I don’t know the details of this stuff, but, generically, Conservatives are naturally more exposed.

They come from the parts of society that make things, build things, create companies, so they know those types of people.

Labour don’t.

Lots of mud slinging going on. There maybe some wrongdoings going on there may not. When the Labour Party are 14% behind the Tories in the latest poll, you’d expect nothing less. 
I’ll wait for the report of the enquiry.

It appears Angela Rayner was having a pop about it, without realising that NHS Wales dished out that contract to Topwood. 

Yes, run by Labour.

That one peaks interests due to the family ties but I think that was awarded by Wales NHS wasn't it?

You have to be squeaky clean when in Government and declare everything.

Well, you did.

Yes, mentioned it above.

Hancock did declare his interest in the company, think it was last month.
