Dave, the report came from the council of Europe, or the European Commission, the quote from pokerminster is from that report. That is the organisation that produced the report , addressed to  everyone within the EU including Britain. if this report was restricted to Britain simply because it was a British university that drew it up us misleading by you this policy if it is seen to apply to Britain would be likely to apply to the rest of Europe
Because the study was done on Teesside is immaterial
Pokermonster quoted fairly and accurately on what was said in this report, that is the important thing.
Nothing pokermonster said changes anything within that report so stop trying to through up dust .

Well, are members of the council of Europe European countries? Is the EU made up of European countries,is Britain a European country? I don't know.

No let's just try and confuse and mix it all up to deflect away from the problem.  It is as if they want nothing done - just as mr kahn says, get used to it.

Does teeside university get grants from Europe, di members of staff owe their jobs to Europe, do those involved in drawing up this report do so as part of a process to find the truth or is it a process to find an answer acceptable to the EU and those that fund them?
I don't know

: )

Ah, thankyou natb. dave1357 never mentioned that, I don't know why.

not enough smileys to be taken as a serious post

Lets not Forget HGV Road Rage Mob (more people with Mental Illness ... )

It looks like Dave and Donny like to twist other people's words to suit themselves Casemoney. They will tell you they know best. What you actually wrote might not be what you meant, you see. Don't worry though mate, Dave and Donny will misinterpret your words for you and everybody else until they are in a form they can get offended by!

No, I'm not the brightest scaffolder Dave, but I did look up that quote and found it was in a report by The European Commission of Racial Intolerance. That sure sounds like a "European Commission" to me. Yes, pokermonster didn't put in the bit about referencing a study from a university but so what? You falsely call him a liar, you falsely say he misquoted. Is it any wonder he retaliated and made you look like a fool? It seems to me that you are far more concerned with pokermonster than the actual issue of suggesting the media downplay Muslim terrorist attack by using "alternative explanations" which sound like LIES to me.

And having a go at me for being insulting! You are every bit as bad and you know it. Worse in fact, as I only resort to mild name calling like buttercup, you get far more nasty in your spittle flecked angry rants.

I don't know what this continual reference to a mobo - isn't that black performance awards ??  Typical deflection. Dave infers that I am a liar and not a faux socualist despite carrying a Labour card all my adult life and supported most campaigns against racism and apartheid.

Isn't that typical of them, though, fling enough mud to confuse the argument.

I know for a fact that dave is paid by the liberal party to come on here.  And look what that lot supported!!!  A tory government!!!

@lfc

directive, recommendation - same thing.  If I had meant "European Directive", I would have used that word, however if that confused you I apologise.

The Council of Europe and the EU are completely different organisations. For a start, we are leaving the EU and there are no plans to leave the Council.

no, a directive is not the same thing as a recommendation

They are not completely different organisations , they are European countries and it is the policy of these European countries that we are duscyssung

Their biggest failure (and mine) is to realise we do not have the answers within the Labour party at the moment and the right have won several of the arguments so far.  Until Labour adapts and creates radical socialist policies we will remain in the wilderness.  Even corbyn who I support, is completely wrong on nuclear and immigration.  We need to be much more radical.

I never said they were exactly the same organisations, they have different names for a start .

Now if you can answer how pokermonsters quote is changed and in what way ?
I feel it is a quote that is entirely true to what was said in the report

now you haven't answered how the meaning is changed, perhaps it is a question that will remain nicely unanswered

Reading davey and his cronies is like listening to Reg in the Life of Brian. Too intersted in making minor syntactical points than facing up to the issue that the West has had its trousers pulled down and getting fooked up the backside because it is to frightened to be seen to offend anyone else's sensibilities apart from its own people.

Their problem is when someone comes up with radical or, just simply, different opinions the ideas are condemned to the bin, being rubbished as akin to hitler/nazi politics with all the name calling added. 'The nazis did it to the Jews' is one of their more fanciful flights away from the problem.  It serves their purpose of obfuscation and diversion leaving them (as they think) with the high moral ground.
