Changed my mind....

'mass immigration' wins.

What does it mean? In the history of loaded terms, surely it's the biggest? Know anyone who has said 'yes, I favour mass immigration'?

What is it? A way of saying 'more than I want, so I'll add the word 'mass' in there for added impact even though it's meaningless'.

ANY statement with "in the world" at the end is usually dire also.

' It wasn't me. '

' I posted the cheque four days ago.'

And the correct response to 'Anything you say will be taken down and used in evidence'

is...

'Please don't punch me again officer.'
