You still don’t get it.
And don’t you try patronising me sonny boy Harry.
Go back to your placard waving of which I’ve done my fair share.

I'm also a heat pump owner.

Look, quite simply, this isn't about the content, it's about the principle. If you start "quoting" people and it isn't what they said, you're not doing you or your cause any favours, it's what Trump and his ilk do, don't join 'em.
In answer to your query, no.

I don't think Starmer said that. It's not nitpicking to point out an untruth. If Lee wishes to make a point he should find another way. There's enough misinformation flying around, don't add to it.

When you put them round a phrase and say somebody said that, it means they actually said it. If you are putting quotation marks around something, attributing it to a person and they didn't say it, you are putting words into their mouth.
It's as wrong as fake photos, fake news and AI.

When you put quotation marks round a sentence it is an indication that the person actually said those words. Did the individual mentioned actually say those words.

Heh, heh,
and what comes next.
Seems ‘the people’ was to take us back to the land that never was.
As if nobody lived on the smelly side of town where you couldn’t hang your washing out because of smuts from the soot.

Not only that, she plans to announce it in Aberdeen, a centre of the offshore wind industry.

"shot a man in Reno" is not alliterative, it just rolls out like "bought a loaf at Tesco".
(Don't shop at Tesco, just don't.)

What you say and actual violence towards people was not ‘mainstream’. It was extreme behaviour in the style of the prewar British Fascist movement. I don’t know if you were about at the time but much of the extreme views have now become part of the Farage narrative.

If you mean the country was racist in the 60’s, it depends on where you lived and your political outlook. What Powell said caused consternation because of the fear of opening Pandora’s box. The lid was kept on by acts of parliament and appeals to our better nature.
Farage has destroyed all that.

Then someone wrote a piece in the Guardian …..
If you know somewhere quiet, leave it that way.

The cat does not use it.

I wouldn't go that far but see what you mean.

He's gone off to work 👍

Who are you safeguarding. To lump a particular group into one bag because of misbehaviour of a small minority within that group seems unjust group punishment which has certain parallels with other issues where misbehaviour by a minority has led to discrimination against the majority.

What proportion of this minority group are these monsters.

More than sometimes, the government has to protect minorities from 'the wishes of the public’. In this instance the government has failed.
