Just in case there is anyone remotely interested, and for the avoidance of any doubt, I am very happy to confirm I regard myself as extremely privileged to live in Cornwall.

Not because it is "white"! In fact we get very little "white" here. It is largely green, although at this time of year colour is bursting out everywhere as Spring arrives very early. We get some daffodils at Christmas!

The Cornish are lovely. Although fiercely proud of their culture they are warm hearted and welcoming. Wages might be low but people are still happy because the quality of life is so good and there is so much that costs nothing at all. No sitting on crowded trains and ordering take-aways. Wandering on beaches and harvesting mussels is more the way of life here.

As this privilege is though open to everyone it isn't truly a privilege. You only have to re-assess your priorities for it to become a reality. Many have moved here having left well paid jobs and found themselves able to establish themselves very successfully. Especially with online working. Fibre optic broadband is available everywhere here.

Having time to reflect in peaceful surroundings can offer the opportunity to reach balanced conclusions about many things, whilst being in the middle of them doesn't allow for a perspective. Maybe that's why so many artists and writers do their work here. Even some football managers have their homes here!

Having moved here from Wisbech I now have years of experience of both areas. I have no doubt whatsoever which one enables a more reasoned and rational approach to be worked out. Wisbech is a distinctly odd place with some even odder people living there. Chalk and cheese.

Are you absolutely sure about that?

Everyone, even scumbags like "Robinson"

Your first paragraph made me laugh. You have never worked for the public sector have you! Do you know how these “clubs” operate? So many members in so many positions. Was I moaning? don’t think so. I have worked very closely with the Police and fully support them, most of the time. I pointed out flaws that is all.

Assisting another member of the public who is being assaulted seems to me to be a citizen's duty, so long as they don't make matters worse by putting themselves at risk. So yes.

You are as wrong as "Robinson" seems to have been.

It's the Police's job to investigate crimes. Not yours, mine or "Robinson's". Only if he caught someone in the act would be have been appropriate to intervene and restrain him. Taking subsequent retribution is not acceptable.

I didn't specifically refer to "Robinson" as a scumbag. You inferred that was my meaning and I won't comment any further. If the cap fits!

I would be comfortable with you describing the grooming gangs as "scumbags", because they clearly are. Not all Asians. pakistanis or Muslims are scumbags though. Which is what you infer.
