Re: the overpowering stench - (Peg's in place on nose)
Go, Pericles.."

Obviously you have nothing to contribute but sarcasm (lowest form of wit) or do you have the ability to counter the facts, please just admit the truth.

Quote "Go, Pericles.." This is what one would expect of a coward hiding in the background egging on a crowd or in this case a fool (Pericles) who can not dispute facts so resorts to childish sarcasm and a repetitive diatribe.

Stop blustering Philip S. You know exactly what I mean.

>>The conclusion is the Government initially LIED that is a FACT, to anyone with a brain.<<

You can cite all the facts you like, just like all the rabble-rousers have done throughout history, who have cherry-picked incidents that they proceed to suggest are representative of the whole of their target cohort. It is a cowardly and uncivilized act, which even you have to recognize somewhere in the dingy recesses of what passes for your soul.

Precisely the same applies to you, SPQR. No point in trying to wriggle away by pointing at your chosen facts and pretending you haven't used them to stir up hatred against a bunch of people, careless whether you include people whose lives have been unfortunate beyond your petty, parochial, suburban imaginings.

Philip S,

I wouldn't dream of interrupting your flow.

After all, you were bleating several pages back that us "do gooders" were reviewing our outlook.

Btw, you got it wrong again. If, as is your wont recently, you insist on telling fellow posters that they are indulging in "sarcasm, the lowest form of wit" - then perhaps you should ascertain that that is what they are actually doing.

For instance, if I was to say to you that this thread has been a refreshing change from the usual OLO fodder of fear-driven, bigoted and hysterical clap-trap...

....that would be sarcasm.

PhilipS,
Go easy on Poirot, she’s just had a bit of a let down, she tried to pick-up (groom?) Antiseptic for the AGW cause and thought she had a real goer for a while only to be embarrassingly rebuffed (LOL).

And as for the old fellow he's fine with our current immigration quagmire –the more the merrier – just so long as the huge majority stay south of the harbour bridge well away from Château de Pericles on the leafy north shore.

Pericles - Quote "It is a cowardly and uncivilized act," You must have a warped sense of reality when stating proof that a government has lied is what you claim a "cowardly and uncivilized act"

Poirot - Quote "After all, you were bleating several pages back that us "do gooders" were reviewing our outlook."

SORRY to point out your lack of understanding I wrote Quote.
"none of the usual do gooders and refugee advocate have tried to dispute anything, maybe they are now reviewing there outlook."

Please note the last 6 words (they are now reviewing there outlook) not as you read it (were reviewing our outlook).

It has also to be noted that with all your comments you have both still failed to disprove anything.

Philip S,

I'll have to congratulate you on your whopping nit-pick, re: "are now" vs "were" ".....reviewing there [sic] outlook."

Did you notice I was addressing your announcement in the "past tense" - hence my employment of the word "were".

SPQR,

I wasn't attempting to groom Anti at all. He's genuinely interested, and seeing as he has more intelligence in his big toe compared to most "skeptics", it was reasonable to throw him a few links.

Admittedly, he appears to think that a good mind and high school science somehow trumps years of training and work in the various fields of climate science...and that those scientists have somehow "missed" all the stuff he's going to stumble upon.

But, at least he's not your garden variety abusive denier.
