[Peter Pedant]

//"PMSL racist? look a bit closer to home wee un!" //

sozza tutti

Another show of outrage from TTT. He who seems to protest too much. The only person who cares about this country. A true member of the Frinton Faction.

Well if she says so it must be true........

[ToraToraTora]

10CS, you really need to learn the difference between outrage and robust defence.

"PMSL racist? look a bit closer to home wee un!" I'll ask again, what's that meant to mean?

[ToraToraTora]

if you cannot grasp that TCL then I suggest you stay out of news and tackle something less challenging.

[THECORBYLOON]

Grow up!

[anneasquith]

I may be wrong ttt, are you accusing Nicola sturgeon of being racist ?

[Zacs-Master]

She’s not racist. She’s just a supporter of Scottish Nationalism. And that’s different. Apparently.

Love and hate! As found on this web site!

I don't think that^ quote from De Gaulle is true at all. Nationalism doesn't equate to 'hatred'.

[10ClarionSt]

......and I don't need you TTT, to tell me what I really need.

[youngmafbog]

Usual couple of posters on here would rather attack the OP then make a valid comment/argument. Honestly If you cannot understand the OP then maybe you shouldnt be looking in News, but then again I suspect both of you know full well what he meant.

She, the wee un, really should look in the mirror before casting such accusations at people.

de Gaulle should know - he spent the war sitting on a leather chair in Carlton House Terrace
and loathing the Americans for liberating la belle France for the next thirty years

de Gaulle was presumably talking about their algerian crisis innit?
( sustained cries from the usual suspects of who? where ? and wen dat den? )

[naomi24]

Ah there you are PP. Thank goodness for that! I got a bit worried when you missed poking at one of my posts the other day - a rarity to say the least. I did give you a nudge in a subsequent post but you missed that too. Tut tut! You’re slipping old chap. If you want to keep on the ball, socks need to be determinedly pulled up and for advice on doing that, google is, as always, your friend. ;o)

Indeed. The Statler and Waldorf of the Answerbank.

PP:"de Gaulle should know - he spent the war sitting on a leather chair in Carlton House Terrace

Who remembers Dean Rusk, from Kennedy admin? Back in the early 60's, when France were in discussions with the USA about withdrawing from NATO, DeGaulle was thumping the table at Rusk and demanded that he wanted all Americans off French soil within 24 hours. Rusks' reply was:
"Does that include all those in the war cemeteries?"
