You really have taken me up wrongly Kizzy if you think that any of my posts were aimed at you specifically because they really weren't

This is NOT confrontational or baiting, but a simple question to you - and Niamh - because I just do not get it;

How did you educe from that quoted post of Niamh's that she was specifically referring to you???

I just do not see it at all.

Yes - I get that LT wrote: "with ref to Kizzy and her assertion that the far right are taking over SD" as a HEADER, but Niamh posted her comment DIRECTLY beneath LT's comment of: "Make some more threads", which means that THIS is the comment to which she was agreeing - in my opinion.

Make some threads
Yeah, this is good advice, I agree

Further reason to believe that Niamh was NOT referring to ANYONE in particular, is the fact that directly ABOVE his comment of 'make some more threads' LT also wrote:

"My advice to the others (not you neem) who moan about SD"

The above COULD NOT BE more clearly addressed to 'others' in general.

So:

It would seem logical to me that when someone comments "Yes I agree with this" DIRECTLY beneath text which says: "My advice to others who moan about SD is to make some more threads" - they are referring to that statement and not any other statements far above it.

In my opinion anyway.

This did not make me laugh out loud. If Conor was posting on here, he could say that the moon is made of Irish Cheddar, and I would be the FIRST to AGREE with him.

The TRUTH is that the immigrants BURNED DOWN the Asylum Centre.

The claim that at least one of the protesting immigrants included the complaint that there was no confectionary among the other complaints HAS been reported by more than one source, but that is IRRELEVANT anyway because it is minor detail, minutiae which whether correct or not SHOULD NOT be clutched at like a straw by a drowning man to deflect from the TRUTH that THE IMMIGRANTS DID BURN DOWN the Asylum Centre.

Except for those who DO NOT LIKE THE FACT because it is counter to their politics, and have no mitigating argument to it.

Agreed, so then why include such a "minor detail" in the tabloid headlines / thread topics as to inflate the importance of such a minor detail and detract from the main story? Why make a minor detail a major focus? The answer is fairly simple; to sensationalise. To create the impression that something so ridiculous and petty has prompted such madness as arson. To make the already shocking and ungrateful action seem even MOREso. To reaffirm people's beliefs about the "sort of people" we're dealing with. Confirmation bias... Preposterous frill that actually detracts from the facts.

But I DO genuinely agree with EVERYTHING you say here. For my part, I have already confessed that I was a little lazy in posting.

But ALL media and Political Parties use the same tactics of 'Fact Embroidery' if you like.

...anyways just before I log off, just thinking a bit about what you've said and I agree, stories and discussions will find their own importance and just because of the importance of them...and no media bits and bobs and frills needed etc which are only there for a media agenda...I blame it all on Katie Hopkins and her sensationalist style of media.....the lady holds a lot of responsibility, yeah she does most certainly get people talking and does make some worthy discussion points also but she really is there more for her own self promotion, more getting herself talked about as much as the topics she brings up so the importance of things becoming too diluted...and also provoking extreme reactions and opinions by her own extremes in her methods...
