Hate Crimes Have Not Risen By 57% Since The Eu Referendum.

/// This eye-catching figure has certainly done the rounds in recent months, regularly bandied about by liberal commentators, the BBC and Left-wing newspapers. ///

/// Yet dig into its provenance and things soon start to smell distinctly whiffy. For the ‘57 per cent’ number was actually plucked from a single press release issued by the National Police Chief’s Council on June 27, four days after the EU ballot took place. ///

/// The document in question specifically stated that police forces had recorded ‘no major spikes in tensions’ since Britain went to the polls. ///

[ummmm]

There ya go.

/// Both sides argue vociferously, but some people on AB don't like to be challenged. ///

I have yet to come across anyone on AB who likes to be challenged and that includes you.

/// They want to be able to state their views, and the moment that more than one person counteracts, they claim that they are being bullied. ///

There is one of your greatest supporters who could be included in your assumption, but he holds a weapon that most of us do not hold.

That being the power to remove posts.

Oh well AOG, back to the drawing board for more " hate filled statistics " better luck next time.

You really have a thing about moderators don't you?

It intrigues me how you think you know who removes each post or thread - it could be anyone including an Ed or Spare Ed.

[ummmm]

Oh dear...you really hate Andy being a MOD don't you, AOG. If he was removing your posts for no reason he wouldn't be a MOD...simple as, accept it!

[ummmm]

Mamy...unless it's blatant I believe Andy reports rather than removes leaving the decision for other MODs or the ED.

Good job Ruth Smeeth didn't report the 25,00 abusive messages she received from the Corbynista including one that she was a "cid yunt" or the figures would have been astronomical. Or doesn't it count when it is the perps are from the dark side?

Blimey if the cap fits...........

Did I mention any names, is there only one ABer who also happens to be a Mod?

[ummmm]

What do you mean 'if the cap fits'?

It's Andy you're always having a dig at about being a MOD

"There is one of [SP1814's] greatest supporters who could be included in your assumption, but he holds a weapon that most of us do not hold." Care to name that mod, ANOTHEOLDGIT?

/// Care to name that mod, ANOTHEOLDGIT? ///

No I would rather you give your own grey brain cells a little exercise, let's face it they certainly need some.

[THECORBYLOON]

I don't keep track of who is and who is not a mod nor do I have the power to read your mind so why not tell us who you mean?

[THECORBYLOON]

You're not very mature for a man in his eighties, are you?

/// You're not very mature for a man in his eighties, are you? ///

How can a person so immature as yourself, possibly come to a conclusion such as that?
