You can take it that I'm not gonna be led by the nose into a pointless tit for tat argument with you.Can we take it then, Bill, that your current views on anything from the war in Gaza, to Greta Thunberg, to the Biden/Trump electoral campaigns, to PPE, flooding, the state of the NHS, migrant boat crossings etc ad nauseam, are all based on the fact that you have actually been on the frontline of all those situations? If you have not, and your distrust of the media is so absolute, then can we assume your views on all the above subjects (and others) are absolute bollocks?
it's not tit for tat... you must have formed your views on anything/everything (even on this forum) from somewhere - if you weren't actually there, then I strongly suggest much of it was formed via the media, until you show otherwise - QED.You can take it that I'm not gonna be led by the nose into a pointless tit for tat argument with you.
If you think I'm a daft **** talking nonsense about the media then stop replying to the thread and leave it to us thicko's.
I'll give an example mate.Always been the same, influencers will influence, it’s now down to people to understand the what is being pushed and make an informed opinion with critical thinking.
I remember the police telling me (after I had complained about their piss-poor crowd management at a home game many years ago, where I saw a lot of frightening fkn violence in the Moss Side rat-runs) that there had only been four arrests made that day, and that they considered it to be a "very successful matchday security operation".I'll give an example mate.
There's been heavy rain where we live in the last few days, a lot of tropical rain.
There was a sort of promo for tonight's 6pm news "houses are being looted by gangs on Mt Tamborine, tune in at 6 for the full story"
My mate is in the SES......he categorically told me today that just 1 house had been burgled by 2 teenagers who have been caught.
Just sheer exaggeration. But without having that mate they'd have us believe it was a massive problem.
I believe impartially is a myth trapped in a fantasy wrapped in a pipe dream, somewhere near Cuckooland and Wales. And the boat has sailed.Where can you read or watch actual news that isn't trying to push a left or right agenda or downright lying/exaggerating to get you to watch/read ?
It's getting worse, and shitter with each passing year.
this was against Leeds at Maine Road by the way - everyone has a fkn angleI remember the police telling me (after I had complained about their piss-poor crowd management at a home game many years ago, where I saw a lot of frightening fkn violence in the Moss Side rat-runs) that there had only been four arrests made that day, and that they considered it to be a "very successful matchday security operation".
Sheer understatement. And without having actually been there, might have believed one man's bollocks.
