General Discussion
@1263 Not directly, but that's what it feels like your angling for? You thought I ewas Liam Mullone didn't you? Okay just ask away if you like. I'm not wary of you digging for the truth as I've been truthful. Have you ever considered that you might be overly suspicious and mistrusting of others, you might not accept the truth even when confronted with it. Maybe that comment relating to ...
@1263 I've just told you about my affiliation with the SDA. It's not my problem if you don't accept that. Other than that contact Liam Mullone for your other questions. I don't know you from Adam, you seem obsessed with finding out whether I'm part of the SDA opr whether the SDA is in factan Irish Replublican or Socialist cell operating out of S. Devon? If I were a SDA Cllr or election agent ...
@1263 What political affiliation question are you asking me? I can't speak for Liam Mullone. Just because I voted for the SDA on July 4th and advocated for them on this site during the election period it doesn't make me their official mouthpiece. I doubt Cllr predominantlt based in the Newton area even know about this website. Why don't you use some initiative and contact Liam Mullone ...
"the fact of the matter is you deferred the question by saying ask him." And you have the cheek to refer to my comments as utter rubbish. No matter. you're referring to Liam Mullone, no Malone. In any case I think Mullone is actually his stage name or similar. This below would've been on your polling card, it's from the TDC website. Parker isn't a very Irish sounding name is it? I ...
@1263 On the Scottish referendum I am entitled to my opinion and you yours. The vote share in Scotland and the change in circumstances post Brexit anre reason enough to posit that Scottish independence isn't dead in the water. If you're proud of being British then good for you, I guesssed as much and don't have an issue with that, even I differ in my view of British identity. I can stay ...
@1263 That's a sweeping generalisation. How do you know what all the Irish 'love to say'? Your definition of genocide is incorrect, it can be destruction of a whole or part of a group or ethnicity. By your definition the Nazi's Final Solutrion and the Holocaust isn't genocide then? Same for what's happening in Gaza. I wasn't actually referring to genocide in Ireland in any case. I was ...
@1263 I'm referring to vote share, not the number of seats lost to Labour. And I'm not disagreeing with you that the SNP in government have issues to overcome and they were unlikey to do well in this GE, but another independence referendum will happen. That referendum will differ from the last in that those campaigning against independence won't be able to use the EU argument for staying in the ...
@1263 You don't need a crystal ball. despite the loss of 30 odd seats the SNP were not that far behind Labour in terms of vote share. This election was about the cost of living crisis and austerity, Scottish independence isn't going to disappear, the Brexit vote was the beginning of the end of the union. The Eu/Brexit bordr issue between Northern Ireland and the Republic and issues in governance ...
@Steve , yes I agree. The problem is that climate change has been communicated in terms of doomsday scenarios which has the effect of making people fearful, focusing on intrinsic needs and not collective endeavour, causing inertia. That and scientific data on a global scale and a magnitude that is often too abstract for people to comprehend and relate to their everyday lives. Plus if it really ...
@Paul A belief is not the same as fact. So you really contest that 200 years of industrialization has had a negative impact on rising greenhouse gas emissions? And just because somebody has lived by the sea in the Dawlish area all there life and based on their personal observations they say that sea levels haven't changed doesn't make it fact. It also can't be extrapolated and used as ...
