Don't belittle yourself. It was an insult. It may have been disguised as an observation but the intention beneath the cloak was clear enough. Your, and your chum's, take on this is somewhere between irrationality and invention. You extrapolate figures from dubious, or unnamed, sources, apply your own logic to maximise the consequences, and then present the results as facts. I suppose an observation can be insulting if you choose to see it that way. Neither of us will see the consequences Wisbech but I'd rather plan for the worst case scenario than kid myself that everything will be OK with little reason for such optimism.

That's called an opinion wissy. Oh we all have opinions about the posters here. Most times I don't express mine though because that's not addressing the post, it's addressing the poster. When someone posts a negative comment about someone else that's not an opinion. It's an insult. If you really don't understand why then I suggest you sign up for a suitable evening class. They start again in September.

I regret to tell you that in our case the proof that it is a gauge of wisdom is clear for everyone to see, just so long as they possess the eyes and brain to see it. Sadly that doesn't seem to include too many regular posters in these threads. Is that an insult or an observation? You would think that because you appear to have no capacity for objectivity. Sadly, or perhaps not, we won't be around to say I told you so.

We often get told on here by a certain Hol demographic that a focus upon high immigration is out of step with the views of the populous. I and others have often argued back that this is incorrect....You would think that the Brexit result would have cemented this in...but never underestimate some people's willingness to deny reality. Well....The European Commission has a 'Eurobarometer' survey, a twice-annually inquiry into the opinions of over 27,000 Europeans. It asked people in 33 countries what their main concerns were for the European Union, and found worries over immigration to be the clear winner. Some 34 per cent of Europeans said immigration was one of their top concerns in 2019, putting the issue comfortably ahead of the competition for another year.

I think that graph falls in line with what most people would expect. It does look like environmental concerns could feasibly overtake immigration in years to come, though rather than saying 'we now need to concentrate on this instead' those issues could intertwine in interesting ways. If environment extremes leads to all hands to the pumps, prioritising that would likely lead to immigration being curtailed, due to the potential mass chaos that may be happening in other nations for the same reason. Being an island nation would be a distinct advantage in a panic situation. Politically too, it could lead to a more rational view of both issues through direct necessity rather than political opinion. Interesting viewpoint.

'2019 Data Shows 51% of Mass Shooters Were Black, Only 29% Were White' [Link] That is blatant propaganda. Even that right wing rag included the caveat that this was only true "when gang-related shootings are included". Now whilst I don't underestimate the importance of acknowledging the appalling number of gang shootings these do not fall into the category of "mass shootings" as generally understood. Not in my view, nor I suspect in most people's. Disputes between criminal gangs that involve multiple murders are not the same as mass murders of innocent people at either random or for political motivations.

You can decide that for yourself but if you see any insult in it then maybe you ought to reflect for a while on your own objectivity. Mine is quite secure. No worries there. I always ask myself questions about my attitudes to check if I am being honest with my opinions and addressing the issue and not my emotions. I do agree though that many of us won't be around to witness the outcome, not that I would ever be so petty as to say "I told you so". Scoring points is what idiots like Trump thinks passes for "winning". This isn't a game. It's ensuring decent futures for our children, grandchildren and ALL their fellow citizens wherever they are born. As I though plan to be here for a good time yet (at 75 I think I have reached around half way) I hope to see a great deal more. Edited by Wisbech Eagle (08 Aug 2019 9.44am)

If your mental age is still only in the teens I suppose I can understand why you might see your parents as being argumentative. It's the "Kevin" syndrome. If I were your parent I would do rather more than just argue. A little bit of bedroom time out without the internet would seem in order. So sorry, you're not correct.
