To be fair I may have misread his post :p

If the EU dictate that every friday morning we should all get up, put our pants on our head, stand in a black forest gateau and sing Girls just wanna have fun by Cyndi Lauper then should we just do this blindly?
etc etc etc

It sounds like a good plan to me.

I do (honestly) apologise for not being clearer in making my point Markabilly.

You say that minorities of one sort or another are constantly given a leg-up by way of positive discrimination. I stated that my experience is that this assertion is untrue. Were it accurate, I might expect to have experienced some of this positive discrimination, as would various friends of mine, but they haven't. What's wrong with my saying that?

I don't mind hearing you say what you think - that is the whole point! You can say what you want! I don't like people who say something and then just shoot down other people because they don't agree.

When it comes to statistics we all know the saying "lies, damn lies and statistics". Premiums based on statistical evidence alone is wrong. And it only takes into account the statistics they want to. Just like politicians do!

Exactly what you have done, without any statistical evidence to back yourself up.

I haven't shot anybody down at all. I stated my opinion and then Daniel, and then you jumped all over it with a fair amount of abuse. If you scroll up you will see what I mean! If you base your comments like this then I have to take everything you say with a pinch of salt.

And furthermore the discussion was about car insurance only. It was Daniel and then YOU who brought other topics into this debate that were completely irrelevant, presumably to help you with your viewpoint here. Can you not have an independent debate on this topic without bringing conjecture into the conversation? Try and keep the discussion on track in future. According to Daniel I support the BNP - apparently because I think men and women should be equal ! Does that really make sense to you? Do you agree with this?

Not because you want equality, because you're ignorant and think that Britain should only have straight white British people in it.

Daniel, your begining to sound like a real bully on this thread in my opinion. Bezza, for what it's worth you don't and never have ever appeared to be a BNP fanatic. Also, there is nothing wrong with agreeing with certain aspects of BNP thinking not that it deserves any discussion on this topic.

Have you read some of the drivel he posts about immigrants though? I suspect he's the sort of person who thinks your dad doesn't have the right to be here.....
