usually I wouldn't give this woman the time of day for her silly writings, but this one does trouble me. Apparently Trump is right and London is completely radicalised... Well as a Londoner myself i can't agree with her at all

yes, she makes her money as an argumentative mouthpiece (not that I'm saying that's right) but stirring up such anti Muslim feeling and agreeing with that idiot's twaddle just seems dangerous at the moment. I despair of the media

Why would we want to double check? We are not opening our bank accounts to fellow posters, or giving them evidence to blackmail us. Do you expect to have your soul stolen for reading that someone doesn't worship in the same faith as you do?

soon, I am up to date with JW's, wouldn't use a search facility , so sneaky , I remember when I first joined this forum a poster ssying she kept notes on what posters said ! .how sad is that and rather creepy too .

soontobe Sun 13-Dec-15 10:23:48

That is creepy Ab.

But it is also worth bearing in mind, that memories are a powerful thing, and dont erase just because someone else would wish them to.

I used to have a phenomenal memory. I lost some of that when I had each child, but it still isnt too bad. Not perfect obviously.

soontobe Sun 13-Dec-15 10:27:09

I cant remember much of my childhood though[which seems to be the opposite to most people].

Anniebach Sun 13-Dec-15 10:37:42

Obviously not perfect soon or you wouldn't have an obsession with posters photographs and search facilities , you are even profiling posters

soontobe Sun 13-Dec-15 10:42:01

That is a silly post. I tend to end a discussion when we are at that point.

Anniebach Sun 13-Dec-15 10:57:51

You often tend to end your part in discussions soon

petra Sun 13-Dec-15 11:45:46

Soontobe. You have stated that you very rarely watch television, and yet you watch reality crap. In case you can't remember, you said that at 09.59.

Alea Sun 13-Dec-15 11:47:03

Seems more like ending an unwinnable argument discussion when it is becoming apparent how flawed your reasoning is soontobe. You were happy to bang on for 4 or 5 pages of how people who live in London/are part of the police/work or live iin mixed (for want of a better word) areas/have real experience of the topic etc know less than Hopkins, Trump or your good self or someone who lives in a rural area and doesn't even visit London much.

soontobe Sun 13-Dec-15 13:00:37

I dont watch that much petra. Where did I say that I very rarely watch it? The post at 9.59 definitely does not say that.

Like thatbags, people need to be very careful about words, missing words out and misremembering[that bit applies to me].

soontobe Sun 13-Dec-15 13:04:46

There are more than me who want a better search facility. There was a thread about it.
Accuracy and truth matter a lot to me.

I do think though, that some naievity needs to be lost as to how non private this forum is. Pretty sure there was a thread about that too. I think younger people are all too aware.

If only . . . . . . tchsad.

I wonder again whether you're being provocative soon.

Iam64 Sun 13-Dec-15 14:44:00

I've just read the Diversity thread. That cleared up my uncertainty about whether soon was being provocative on this one. Soon I have in the past expressed the view that you aren't genuine. Of the many regular posters you are the only one I see as an enigma

soontobe Sun 13-Dec-15 14:52:51

I am beginning to think of myself as an enigma too! But I utterly and totally genuine.

Galen Sun 13-Dec-15 15:03:07

What,like the gensuing fake Rolexes they sell in Istabbul??

Galen Sun 13-Dec-15 15:03:52

gensuing genuine

Galen Sun 13-Dec-15 15:04:45

And Istanbul. Blame it on DGC fatigue

Elrel Sun 13-Dec-15 15:24:40

Galen - I thought the Rollecks misspellings were deliberate to illustrate the quality of the timepieces!

Galen Sun 13-Dec-15 15:43:29

I ❤️ My Rolex. I know I can fall off the boat down to a depth of 300 metres and my watch will be ok. I'll probably be dead though.

Galen Sun 13-Dec-15 15:45:22

They also sell ' herbal viagra,' guaranteed to work 10 times a night!

petra Sun 13-Dec-15 15:45:59

We have all done exactly what she wanted: brought the thread round to her.
I thought the heading was diversity.

Elegran Sun 13-Dec-15 16:26:48

No, the heading on this is Katie Hopkins. Surely we don't want to bring the subject round to her again?

petra Sun 13-Dec-15 16:39:43

Apologies. I know I was reading the diversity thread at some time Lol

Elegran Sun 13-Dec-15 16:40:40

You diversified into this one!
