Slightly uncomfortable viewing but he has got a point. Could This be the end of the EU gravy train?

Yes - I thought his reference to other MEP's not having Jobs was typical of him and was a huge lost opportunity.

If he had been a tad more gracious - he could have carried them with him.

Instead he acted like an idiot and allowed the other MEP's to dismiss him as the idiot that he is.

BUT! - the main points he raised about how the EU simply railroaded countries that had voted against the EU "machine" was well made and hit home.

It just could have been SO much more powerful if he had been more of a Statesman.

This is clear for all to see.

As for the second sentence - you are either being deliberately obtuse to the point of Trolling - or you really do have a problem with reality and the written word.

Now, what is trolling and who is dong it?

Your last but one Post

I am now even more lost as to the purpose of your post.

Where Wraymond has previously asked you to point out where he ever said anything about Farage on this issue:-

Now, I would be obliged if you would kindly point me to where I have said Farage is or is not a racist. I don't mean your personal inference from my words, I mean actual words having that implication.

I see your actions as creating a Strawman Argument that Wraymond has answered correctly, honestly and courteously.

You - in marked contrast then ask a Question of Wraymond regarding whether Wraymond thinks Farage is a Racist.

I find this use of the Race card objectionable and ask that the Mods review what has been posted here.

This is classic Straw-man argument tactics and constitutes Trolling

Wramond's initial post read

Given his post, it was not unreasonable to ask, as part of an exchange of views, his own view on the matter.

To label somone a troll simply because you do not resonate with their viewpoint is extremely rude and a sign of lack of class.

This thread is now closed - I'm sure there will be some who are aghast at my decision. If so please feel free to raise with either the club director, Christopher, or the Lead Mod, Reebs.

I had asked for some decorum but clearly this was a request too much.
