Unless your concerns about how we can offer a more humane immigration system then you are xenophobe. If you are worried about the geographical location of where someone popped out of a uterus then you are not thinking rationally.

And no, I cannot see why anyone would have any issue with the current levels of immigration to/from the UK. Unless as I said above you are worried about how some people coming here are treated.

Do you not agree that an expanding population due to EU immigration, would lead to an extra burden on the NHS, housing, benefit and other public services aswell as the rise in rents?

Do you think that EU immigration, where people get fake payslips in order to claim benefits, working tax credits child tax credits and housing assistance? Or people that work minimal hours and tdo not pay any tax or nino who then can claim housing and benefit assistance? Or people that illegally overstay in the country, in order to achieve a loophole and gain housing or benefit assistance.

All of these are ongoing issues, though you did not answer my question in the first place.

Super should "take one for the team" .. and if it's expensive I'm sure we could set up a crowd funding or something

But even if anyone played against Mac, he could be having an "off day" and not play the best he could.

by MustPuttBetter Mon 08 Aug 2016, 10:20 pm

Should we start writing Mac as 'Mac'?
Wonder how many other people on here he is....

by MontysMerkin Tue 09 Aug 2016, 8:15 am

I'm starting to think you're all bloody 'Mac'.

by super_realist Tue 09 Aug 2016, 8:19 am

I'm 'Mac'!

I'm Mac.

And so's my wife.

Brilliant

The only one who's not 'Mac' is 'Mac'

by pedro Tue 09 Aug 2016, 9:08 am

I'm Whopper.

by Davie Tue 09 Aug 2016, 9:13 am

Do we think he's a Big Mac or a plastic Mac?

by McLaren Tue 09 Aug 2016, 9:37 am

If it helps, I like cheeseburgers.

by super_realist Tue 09 Aug 2016, 9:40 am

More of a Macaroni I think, cheesy and soggy.

Ah-ha! At long last you admit it!

You are Super_Mac

I knew all the diametrically opposed viewpoints were a mere mask of convenience. Fauxfended versus Fauxfender, a forum's dream combination. Traffic and stimulus. Add in the fact that no-one has ever seen you both in the same place at the same time!

It's all clear.

No-one landed on the moon. JFK was killed by the CIA. David Icke was right, god damn it. He was right.

Or aspartame. Fake, bad taste and no calories.

Maybe I missed something but how has revealing I don't have a handicap (something I admitted years ago) resulted in my authenticity being questioned?

by MontysMerkin Tue 09 Aug 2016, 1:51 pm

I can almost guarantee you missed something.

by super_realist Tue 09 Aug 2016, 2:02 pm

Didn't miss much on your back 9 of 29 though, did you Mav?, I mean Mac

by McLaren Tue 09 Aug 2016, 2:08 pm

Super

Are you telling me you have never broken 30 on a short par 68 course?

by super_realist Tue 09 Aug 2016, 2:14 pm

I'm not sure I've ever played one Mac.

by McLaren Tue 09 Aug 2016, 2:20 pm

Really. There are loads of little sub 70 courses all over scotland.

by super_realist Tue 09 Aug 2016, 2:24 pm

Not that I can recall Mac. I think perhaps the Strathtyrum is a 68. Trouble is I don't often count my inward and outward halves unless I'm in a competition. I'm usually just aware what I am to par for 18.

by pedro Tue 09 Aug 2016, 2:29 pm

Think I've found out what Mac does for a living. Life guard at the Olympic swimming venue.

by McLaren Wed 10 Aug 2016, 1:29 pm

Any of our yank friends up for answering Trumps call to arms and taking your position in the book depository?

by kwinigolfer Wed 10 Aug 2016, 1:44 pm

Mac,
If this was a private citizen he/she would have been shaken down by the Secret Service by now.
And his moronic surrogates who can't distance themselves from his hatred would be getting brought in as accessories.
Just think of the outrage if a Black Lives Matter speaker suggested the same. Thankfully they have more sense and respect for their country.

by raycastleunited Wed 10 Aug 2016, 1:47 pm

Je suis mac.

Or maybe it should be suis-je mac?

Re Dalian Atkinson: Seems some US police officers have been crossposted to the UK.

pedro, I am just waiting for Super to claim that only the weak die from getting tasered.

Yeah, right. I play off +8 by the way...

Nah. He'd have died in a hailstorm of bullets if that were the case.

Pity though. Wonder what he was doing to merit getting zapped?

Well, It wouldn't surprise me if he had some sort of underlying health issue as Tasers are not designed to kill people and deaths from tasers are incredibly rare. They are however rarely deployed without good reason.

by Davie Mon 15 Aug 2016, 2:31 pm

Early reports suggest it caused him to have a heart attack

by super_realist Mon 15 Aug 2016, 2:39 pm

Bit too soon for an autopsy isn't it? Sounds like speculation.

by McLaren Mon 15 Aug 2016, 2:41 pm

Davie probably reads the Daily fail, I am sure they already have all the facts.

by MustPuttBetter Mon 15 Aug 2016, 2:43 pm

"Paramedics said he went into cardiac arrest on his way to hospital. The death has been referred to the police watchdog, the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC)."

From the BBC. I would imagine the paramedics to be a fairly credible source......

Two Bolts making headlines...

That's precisely why I said "early reports suggest" - too difficult for you?

I don't recall where I read it - it was an article linked from Facebook newsfeed. Certainly wasn't the Daily Fail though. It now seems to have been referred to the IPCC so any further speculation in the press will probably be muted

Not sure if this was anyone but a washed up footballer that it would be getting discussed, tragic, but does anyone actually care? I don't.

by McLaren Mon 15 Aug 2016, 3:17 pm

We should all care that our police force killed someone. How does that not bother you?

Who said that they did Mac?

by super_realist Mon 15 Aug 2016, 3:28 pm

Mac, you live in a different world. Yes, someone has died, but they have not been killed by the police, they have died as a result of an incident which involved the use of a ratified piece of equipment. If this person has died, it isn't something which can be blamed on the police under any circumstances. The equipment is approved.

These devices aren't deployed lightly or without reason.

by McLaren Mon 15 Aug 2016, 3:31 pm

Super, Walter Scott was shot by a "ratified" piece of police equipment.

by super_realist Mon 15 Aug 2016, 3:36 pm

Mac, you're being deliberately obtuse here. A gun is designed to be a piece of equipment to kill someone. A taser is designed and tested not to. You can't compare the two.
There is clearly an underlying health issue with the corpse. You'd also have to be an idiot to get yourself in a situation where the police are left with the option of tasering you.

by McLaren Mon 15 Aug 2016, 3:43 pm

Super

I don't know how a guy raised in Scotland has turned out adhering to such an extreme form of libertarianism.

by super_realist Mon 15 Aug 2016, 3:47 pm

Mac, you can't compare a Policeman acting outside lawful protocol using his weapon to kill someone in America with someone inadvertently dying as a result of a taser designed to immobilise a troublesome critter. How is it the police fault that Atkinson died?

by McLaren Mon 15 Aug 2016, 3:49 pm

Sorry maybe I was a bit vague. I was responding to " You'd also have to be an idiot to get yourself in a situation where the police are left with the option of tasering you".

It is quite extreme to assume that you have total control over the events in your life.

by I'm never wrong Mon 15 Aug 2016, 3:52 pm

What about my question Mac? Who said the Police killed Atkinson?
