    Not the Bloody ToryGraph via wikipedia. 😂

    Seriously? Too funny.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,677 ✭✭✭mikethecop


    ok so where ? or are you taking the word of a unrepentant radical terrorist ?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,523 ✭✭✭Potatoeman


    You really need to get your news from multiple sources, left leaning news outlets will frequently omit aspects of stories or just not report on them as they don’t align with their own ideology. So if you don’t look at news sources form different political alignments you will be partially informed on stories or they simply won’t be covered.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 793 ✭✭✭Slightly Kwackers


    The Dandy used to make out that Desperate Dan ate cow pie, but that wouldn't make it through the courts either.

    You are quoting the rubbish that hired Bozo to report fiction as fact.

    Hundreds of thousands thought the EU was stopping Britain from importing proper British bananas because of the rag.

    The rubbish you state is typical of the selection of facts to sell a story anyway.

    Who would not be allowed carry a weapon in ISIS? I would imagine anyone not trusted and allowed to carry a weapon would have a body with a neck at two ends.

    Do you know how religious cults work?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,677 ✭✭✭mikethecop


    feel free to provide your own evidence , or just rant nonsense

    why would she need a ak i wonder ? if she was a poor innocent tricked into being a baby factory , is that really believable ? to you perhaps.

    if she embraced and still adheres to the isis cult she is a criminal and a threat

    do you know what to do with threats ?

    You don't like the Telegraph: is the Times any better?

    As she says herself: “I’m not the same silly little 15-year-old schoolgirl who ran away from Bethnal Green four years ago,” she told me. “And I don’t regret coming here.”

    She also defended the choice of the other two girls who left England with her to stay on in ISIS territory after she fled, and said they would be ashamed of her for leaving, so clearly she feels she failed compared to them by not being steadfast in her beliefs. She also defended the Manchester bombing as "reprisals". So since she thinks that children can justifiably be killed in reprisal for their government's actions, what would she think of punishing a 15 year old for her own actions? Hard to think she wouldn't approve. Except when it's her of course.

    ”I enjoy cigars, whisky and facing down totalitarians, so am I really Winston Churchill?”



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 793 ✭✭✭Slightly Kwackers


    Evidence?

    I am not making the claims, you are making the claims, unless you are naive enough to claim the Telegraph has integrity?

    Being allowed to use an AK47 does not represent a need. I was allowed to carry an AK47, I carried many weapons the limit being what I could physically carry. I was allowed to carry ammunition including and up to HE 30mm.

    It meant nothing, it was nothing to do with my politics, they were no different to any other piece of mechanical apparatus, it is only the likes of yourself who get fed the word "allowed" and weapons and immediately condemn a person on that basis. You need a course in Boolean logic methinks!

    As someone not only allowed to carry all forms of weapons, but I did so on a daily basis, and I can assure you it means nothing as far as my approach to others goes, apart from a certain amount of contempt and caution around those that do get fixated by the disgusting devices. There a a lot of those around, but I guess you would understand that better than how to interpret a gutter press article.

    Allowing an act, even a criminal act does not make the person a criminal no more than allowing the same person to time travel risks a rewrite of the history books.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 793 ✭✭✭Slightly Kwackers


    Does not regret coming here?

    Get serious me old chum!

    I made mistakes, I took on a disgusting job in an industry I soon hated. I was dealing with electronics, but in the gambling industry.

    I had no prior knowledge in the industry and knew no one outside one of those recommending the position.

    I hated the job and the people, I thought a few would be better off behind bars. I would never, ever enter the industry again under any circumstances for any pay rate.

    Do I regret working in that job? No! Sometimes a high price has to be paid to learn a lesson.


    Regret is a human thing dependent on time and circumstances. A woman that popped out so many duff sprogs is hardly in a fit state emotionally to look on the place in a balanced fashion I would have thought. Regret is a personal feeling, it hasn't any measurable units, so how do you relate it to not regretting a visit to the dentist, or not regretting a walk in the park?

    You need to quantify these things really to convey any meaning.

    Have a go on Google, see if you can find something else that agrees more solidly with your fixation.


    Frankly the poor woman has my sympathy. Anyone with a value for British citizenship these days deserves pity. Once it was a nationality to take pride in, but when the entire nation chooses to follow liars and behave like a bunch of lemmings, then they go on to vote a compulsive liar with a history of incompetence and failed projects to lead them, it really does throw any value that being British still has into question.

    My MP in Britain was Gullis, he lied to me. I have the email. The questions that could not be answered with factual distortion were ignored. I wonder if Begum trotted out as many lies as your average Tory MP?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,453 ✭✭✭✭end of the road



    she is a british citizen regardless of what any british politician claims or what any british court rules and that will always be the case as it is illegal to make someone stateless which is what britain has done on the basis of debunked claims.

    making her stateless absolutely is a racial issue because it was done on the basis of trying to appeal to racists who don't believe the politician who made the decision is british himself.

    I'm very highly educated. I know words, i have the best words, nobody has better words then me.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,677 ✭✭✭mikethecop


    so you have nothing but the bleating's of a unrepentant terrorist then, and even that contradicts your narrative that she somehow deserves pity

    In what circumstances were you wandering about with such an arsenal to know ? because if you think its fine to wander around with those sort of weapons it is absolutely a cause for concern ? Routinely carrying firearms would further indicate that she was an active and able part of a group who were the enemy of civilization .

    I ve actually carried firearms on occasion and have a very different view, id be interested to hear how you think it ok to openly carry assault weapons.

    nd imo committing a criminal act makes you a criminal. hard to believe that need to e clarified but here we are I guess 🤷‍♂️

    repeating something over and over again weakens your argument rather that strengthens it especially when it was clearly factully and proveabley wrong in the first place 🙄

    your racial nonsense is so weak its not even worth responding to at this stage



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,677 ✭✭✭mikethecop


    lol

    confronted with more evidence and you go off on that bs tangent ?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 793 ✭✭✭Slightly Kwackers


    But the "evidence" was what I replied to.

    Are you not aware of just what evidence is?

    Don't you realise that a reporters job is to write news stories and you have to look at whats printed as questionable fact, not a corroboration of what you want to hear?

    I said nothing about the woman deserving pity, although as a human being she would would indeed have my pity. I believe a mother losing a child is a horrendous experience and she has lost several. I am not so inhuman that I cannot feel sympathy and regret over another's suffering.

    The woman deserves justice and fair treatment, nothing more and nothing less.

    I wandered around with all sorts, the stuff I couldn't lift I used to take my kit too.

    I tested ammunition and just about every parameter of a weapon at the point of firing. I even had a jig to prove one could fire up in the air. All nicely hydraulically damped to simulate a shoulder. I could have run the same test by asking a squaddie to fire upwards, but it wasn't allowed. Too dangerous or insecure I guess?

    The one thing I never did in my years at the MOD was fire a weapon, I had a person do that for me, and a different person again to load the weapon.

    We thought it was fine carrying assault weapons, not into an unlicenced building though and we would not carry both weapon and projectiles together.

    We only ever killed one person on site, so we didn't do too badly. It too a round of armour piercing ammo to polish him off though and was down to a know it all issuing a command to fire at the wrong time.

    I would guess that you might be familiar with the type if you use a shaving mirror?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,677 ✭✭✭mikethecop


    so you went and corroborated your version then ? or just dont like the multiple link posted here

    justice and fair treatment would be to leave her to die where she is

    you never carried a weapon in public then? , nothing like close to the example you tried to make



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 987 ✭✭✭scottser


    Lads, this topic is less to do with any sympathy for her or not, or the rights and wrongs of her choices than it does with the UK's failure in its obligations to its citizens, its crass and dishonest politicians and its intransigent courts.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 204 ✭✭supermans ghost


    A classic example of Lefties losing it. The Telegraph was here before you and will be here long after you’re gone buddy.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 204 ✭✭supermans ghost


    WTF , what kind of word salad bs are you on about. Totally Kwackers.

    Pop quiz! let’s say you have 3 children and you are in a bind and the only person you can leave them with is Shamina (beheadings don’t bother me) Begum.

    What do you do?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 793 ✭✭✭Slightly Kwackers


    The topic refers to the lady being made stateless, not her suitability for employment as a babysitter. Maybe the plethora of words was too much?

    Anyway, were you to define suitability to retain citizenship by the integrity level required of a babysitter, I suspect the British Isles would have a pretty low population density.

    If you don't understand the "word salad" it's easily checkable incidentally. Sometimes you have to look beyond your immediate experience and time period to see different behavioural trends.

    Anyway the point replied to was that The lady not realising beheadings were wrong until age eighteen was comical, so naturally it brings to mind that in Britain most of the country saw beheadings as a jolly good day out at one time.


    I know that a lot here don't get out much and do not understand the implications of being made stateless, they also look on things in very simplistic terms and try to mould their ideas of justice into something in keeping with their own experience. The woman has not had the justice a British citizen is entitled to. It really is that simple.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 793 ✭✭✭Slightly Kwackers


    When did I say it was in public? I was allowed to carry weapons, full stop.

    You didn't suggest that the lady was allowed to carry an AK67 in Britain either, although I assume ISIS would allow it?

    Just to show their's no hard feelings, I am allowing you to take an armoury of weapons to Blackpool pleasure beach.


    There you are, by your own logic, you are now a terrorist that needs to be made stateless.


    Justice and fair treatment under UK law involves a trial with the accused given a opportunity to defend themselves. There seems little reason why the woman is deprived of that. What do you find so bad about that?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,228 ✭✭✭✭Mellor


    Hmmm, there's a bang of Walter Mitty off this. You had a jig to prove you could fire up into the air? I don;t think that required proof. And why were the MOD testing AK47s? skeptical to say the least.

    Regardless, the context that you are missing is that the rules of a civilised society are not the same as that for a militant muslim group. Women are second class. If this women was allow, by her male terrorist leaders, to carry a weapon. She had both a need, and some sort of position of power within ISIS. Conflating that with a legal authorise and test firearms is laughable.

    Yes being a mouth piece for the Tories.

    Are you a Righty? 😂



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 42,023 ✭✭✭✭Boggles


    Thanks for the advice.

    I would be 100% confident the ToryGraph made it up.

    It's what they do.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 793 ✭✭✭Slightly Kwackers


    The MOD did not test AK47's, or at least my bit didn't. I have no doubt whatsoever that not only were AK47's very thoroughly tested by some reputable proving establishment on behalf of, or even part of the MOD itself, but so would every other weapon likely to be used against the military. We did test East European ammunition, I doubt somehow that we ever bought any though.

    You might consider needing proof that a weapon shot a projjie into the air a bit pointless, but nothing was taken for granted. It was not practical to measure the velocity and accuracy of a projjie as it was fired vertically, but if you have a weapon your life depends on and you find that someone using a parachute is firing at you, it's comforting to know One's weapon will work and not lock up after a few dozen rounds I suppose.

    I was not the person demanding the tests, I merely carried them out. As far as proof went, I even had to prove our stock in trade measuring systems for small calibre ammunition by photographing the projji'es as they entered the detection area. At supersonic speed too as the shock wave clearly portrayed. I processed the 35mm contact sheets myself and stored them as proof after having a few sent out for printing to no doubt give the gun fetish merchants a bit of a thrill.

    Be as skeptical as you wish, it does not alter the fact that the world is a big place and some actions within it might occur when you are not observing.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 793 ✭✭✭Slightly Kwackers


    To be fair to them they have serious competition in the UK. The Sun, Mail, Express and Stephen King are all competing hard for the attentions of the less able fiction lover.

    Arguably Stephen Kings followers are less intellectually challenged and not quite as gullible as few of his readers take his work as factual though.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 793 ✭✭✭Slightly Kwackers


    Never right in a million years I would guess :-)



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,228 ✭✭✭✭Mellor


    Ah, when you referred to tested firearms for MoD I assumed you included the AK in that. As previously you said you carried an AK47, and many other weapons. So that’s begs the question in what capacity you were carrying an AK47, if not during testing for the MOD?

    You might consider needing proof that a weapon shot a projjie into the air a bit pointless, but nothing was taken for granted. It was not practical to measure the velocity and accuracy of a projjie as it was fired vertically, but if you have a weapon your life depends on and you find that someone using a parachute is firing at you, it's comforting to know One's weapon will work and not lock up after a few dozen rounds I suppose.

    A firearm fires a projectile at many times the force of gravity. I wouldn't have thought that was any concern overcoming the force of gravity. Were the MoD cutting corners or something, what cheap firearm where you testing?

    But sure, maybe that feel the need to test everything for reasons. That doesn't back up the claim though. Why were you were carrying an AK47?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,677 ✭✭✭mikethecop


    so obviously your posts have so many holes in them and defy logic so often your not really worth engaging with

    a experienced weapons handler like your self would know from your experience with "ak67s " seems to be a made up thing from a computer game called earthfall .

    doubt youd have passed the vetting to mop the floor anywhere there are live firearms

    i doubt your allowed to carry sharp stick pal

    kinda calls into question the rest of your arguments doesn't it .

    She joined a terrorist group of her own free will and there is evidence that she was a active member of that group and is unrepentant , therefore there is a very strong risk she would commit further offences ,

    terrorists belong in as many pieces as possible

    gudluck Mr Mitty



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 793 ✭✭✭Slightly Kwackers


    Gravity isn't a force, it's termed an interaction. I prefer to visualise it as a distortion of space/ time, it's a lot simpler that way.

    But that apart, my job was to ensure things worked wherever their users went and under the same conditions or as near as possible.

    Like the numerous photographers that went off to photograph their antics up in the Arctic, the reality of silver oxide batteries in their hitherto reliable equipment came as a shock. The MOD wasn't keen on a squaddie finding out that when he pulled the trigger on his weapon the projjie didn't exit the barrel because it was cold and raining outside. We never tested for it, but I suppose we should have tried them on Sundays and bank holidays also :-(

    I never carried an AK47 in my life, like Begum though I was allowed to carry an AK47 should one be provided.

    You haven't followed the reasoning at all have you?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,677 ✭✭✭mikethecop


    "I never carried an AK47 in my life, like Begum though I was allowed to carry an AK47 should one be provided."


    lol

    at least you got the name right this time , not bad for such a experienced weapons tester eh 😉😉😉

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,228 ✭✭✭✭Mellor


    You know its obvious that somebody reads something off Wikipedia but hasn’t understood it.

    Gravity is an interaction between objects with mass. When dealing planet scale objects, that interaction manifests as an accelerating force. Space-time, lmfao

    I never carried an AK47 in my life, like Begum though I was allowed to carry an AK47 should one be provided.

    Right, as I expected. You were talking nonsense. You did not carry an AK as you tried to claim. Begum did (a distinction you seem to be missing).

    And the fact you think you would have been allowed to, suggests, the entire story is a lie. Somebody in the MoD weapons dept would be authorised to handle mod weapons. It’s pretty obvious why that would not include the AK47. 😂

    Not to mind the fact you are comparing authorisation of a government department, with a terrorist organisation. 🤣🤣



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 793 ✭✭✭Slightly Kwackers


    You still don't read things properly do you?

    If I never carried an AK47, I'm unlikely to have tested one don't you think?

    Your responses are very indicative of a typical internet researcher these days, doing a selective examination of the information available, choosing only the bits of data that agree with or reinforce your supporting your standpoint.

    The whole purpose in pointing out what I was allowed to do with regard to weaponry was to render your logic and the reason you provided as an accusation of terrorism as false. The detail is irrelevant, Like Begum I was allowed to carry weapons, I am not a terrorist, yet according to you, using your own logic, I am.

    I have no feelings one way or another for Begum, in fact I would never associate with someone so stupid and easily led, but I do care for human rights and can easily recognise what is simply right and what is wrong.

    As a matter of interest, where did you get the ISIS work instruction from? What ranks are allowed weapons, who has the authority to allow the carrying, in fact how does the ISIS military structure work?

    Frankly some of the terrorists that have hit the media for UK crimes have been a few sandwiches short of a picnic, I suppose recruitment isn't easy, but if they provide people with an IQ even lower than a Brexit voter with weaponry, I would guess that anyone would qualify for one. Let's face it if you were in the business of procreating for the greater well being of mankind, wouldn't you want to arm your sprogdropper if she or the sprog might be at risk?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,677 ✭✭✭mikethecop


    your lack of credibility as a good faith poster negates further interaction

    with people like you on her side she hasnt a hope thank f



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 793 ✭✭✭Slightly Kwackers


    No, your inability to come up with any form of meaningful argument to support your numerous statements negates any sensible interaction.

    You still don't understand do you?

    I am not on "her" side.

    I am on the side of what is fair, what is just and how I consider fellow human beings should be treated. Were I to side with any individual on the planet, the lady would be one of the last I would support for anything unless maybe as a nomination for the merits of sterilisation if someone with an AK47 and a penchant for religious extremism is what floats their boat.

    The reason you state that I am on her side is purely and simply it is what you want to believe, nothing more.

    I have pointed out the problem with your approach. It's not uncommon.

    You have no idea where I'm coming from and I honestly don't think you ever will work it out.

    I did try :-(



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,453 ✭✭✭✭end of the road



    not a classic case of what you claim at all, or even an ordinary case of what you claim at all.

    i wouldn't be sure that the rags will be here after we're gone, their readership is declining thankfully and the online stuff is only read for the celebrity crap.

    "I was allowed to carry an AK47"

    "I have never carried an AK. I was allowed to carry other weapons"

    I rapidly changing story does never reflect well Mr Mitty.

    The whole purpose in pointing out what I was allowed to do with regard to weaponry was to render your logic and the reason you provided as an accusation of terrorism as false. The detail is irrelevant, Like Begum I was allowed to carry weapons, I am not a terrorist, yet according to you, using your own logic, I am.

    The train of logic here is stunningly incompetent. The detail is far from irrelevant.

    I don't believe your story is true, but say it were. It would require a legal authorisation to possess firearms.

    Somebody issued a firearms license is legally permitted to carry firearms, appropriate to the reason for being license. I would have no issue purchasing a long, range, high power, bolt action rifle. There are legal, and justifiable civilian reasons to carry such.

    A terrorist organisation is not capable or granting legal authorisation. I'm baffled I have to point that out. Somebody, part of a terrorist organisation has no legal reason to posses a automatic assault weapon. Anyone carrying one as part of that organisation is a terrorist, and should be treated as such.

    If you want to give ISIS credibility and a authoritative state that can issue firearms license. That's fine. But it cripples any complaint against the UKs actions. They would then be free to rescind her citizenship.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,677 ✭✭✭mikethecop


    i guess your opinion is more relevant than some one who actually can effect the thing your arguing about 😉

    ffs

    its like trying to explain to a toddler that its bed time



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 793 ✭✭✭Slightly Kwackers


    Well to make a person stateless is a pretty serious breach of their human rights I would have thought if it cuts the woman off from family.

    Apart from which the stripping of her citizenship was a political decision, it probably will not hold up under Labour and would certainly be on shaky ground if the detention camp disintegrates as predicted.

    it may seem simple but the next hearing is today.

    I actually think peoples opinions are relevant. The court procedures were not fair and the government should have taken its own failings into account.

    The gutter press does not do detail though, so the hard of thinking are happy to condemn the woman using tabloid pictures.

    Nice of them to try to explain though....................... :-)



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,228 ✭✭✭✭Mellor


    I didn’t say ISIS is a state. I’m saying holding them up as a state with authoritative powers undermines the arguement that removing her British citizen would make her stateless.

    Om not sure which part of that you are misunderstanding.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,228 ✭✭✭✭Mellor


    I literally explained why that’s nonsense. It’s really simple.

    I was allowed carry an AK47

    No you weren’t. Even if you story is true (doubtful) you were not allow carry an AK. Because…

    my possession would be restricted to that connected to my job function.

    nothing about a hypothetical job at the MoD involves the use of AK47s. If you actually did the job you’d know that.


    Begum was denounced as a terrorist because she was allowed carry an AK47.

    I was allowed carry an AK47

    Now faced with that simple statement I should be a terrorist, there was no supporting proviso, thus anyone allowed carry an AK47 must be a terrorist.

    The total lack of logic going into that last statement is hilarious.

    You were “allowed” weapons by a government department*.

    She was allowed weapons by a terrorist organisation.

    The terrorist organisation is a critical factor you are not grasping.



    *you weren’t

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,228 ✭✭✭✭Mellor


    I understand exactly what you’re saying. It’s complicated, it’s just incorrect.

    Models of car aren’t controlled. Any license, and you can drive any car you like.

    Firearms are controlled. A firearms license or authorisation does not allow you to handle any firearm you like.

    The UK’s MoD, does not use AK47s. I’m not sure how you’re not getting that. Thus permission to handle MoD weapons would not mean you had permission to handle AK47s, or anything you could find.

    If you weren’t lying. You’d have known that. Pretty obvious stuff.

    Not to mention somebody who has never used a firearm, and had no practical training, etc. Would not be allowed to pick up military weapons and have a pop.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,677 ✭✭✭mikethecop


    your just a troll at this point kid and require no more attention from any but the mods

    unless your the home secretary of the UK or a member of the courts your opinion in this matter wont change it one bit , that and you obvious lies about your firearms expertise ( you misnamed the most common firearm in the world 😀)

    it doesn't need to change britains breach of international law.

    Syria ? One of the biggest victims of isis ,

    fine let her die in the desert as i ve said before along with rest



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 793 ✭✭✭Slightly Kwackers


    Whether you believe me or not is totally irrelevant.

    I don't even know the names of most of the weapons I handled. I modified a Mauser 30mm, I tested its firing rate and velocity using an Opus electromagnetic detection setup using a base length of four and six meters. That was on a firing range next to a train track with chain link fencing that was not grounded and thus retransmitted the noise from the trains contact arcing during the tests which screwed both velocity and rate of fire data. I sorted that with a storage oscilloscope, a Nicolet using a bubble memory cartridge back in the lab. I tested an Aden and an MG50. I partook in jollies where we had quite an audience to watch Some device loaned to Israel perform. Loads of barrels, I took photos of the installation, but don't even recall the name. I rarely saw it fire, I watched the audience instead. They traveled miles to watch it perform but the most entertaining thing was watching them I found. There was a lot of smoke though which was a bit more than the other guns they came to watch produced.

    I hated the products I dealt with and doubt that I would have remained in the job when the Iraq war started.

    My opinion of Begums status will not matter in the slightest. I have no intention of contacting my UK MP about her and just think is a shame that her human rights are being trampled on.

    No one's opinion on this forum will change her status, do you not appreciate that?

    This is pretty obvious I would have thought, why do you think you need to explain?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 793 ✭✭✭Slightly Kwackers


    Not at all. Being allowed to do something will not stand up in a court of law as incriminating evidence.

    Slap the word terrorist into a paragraph or two and it gets attention, it's a standard gutter press reporters trick. Why do you think Corbyn is described as "a friend of terrorists"?

    lol every thing is irrelevant to you but the truth , and i dont think anyone believes your fairytales

    You still don't get it do you.

    The truth is of prime importance. The poor eejits across the way brought Brexit on themselves through lies, peddled by the very paper that you place so much stock in.

    Even if what I spout is total fiction, it does not detract from the facts of the case and what is right and wrong.

    I don't lie and indeed don't need to, it comes with the ethos of being a professional. I have met extremely few that I would have the level of respect for in order to compromise my morals for and lie to.

    It was a Vulcan incidentally, the device the IQ zero's came from all over Britain to watch me test. Guns seem to attract a certain type, I guess you have quite a collection?

    No, you still don't get it. It's nothing to do with guns or cars, it's simple logic.

    Being allowed to do something is not a crime.

    Being allowed to do something for Telegraph readers is guilt.

    Being allowed dresses up a story to make it more exciting for the hack.

    No wonder being a British post office manager warranted a jail term for so many :-(

    sprouting total fiction does indeed detract from you argument ,
