When have I said that what’s on TV annoys me ?? It’s ott Political correctness that was I believe the subject matter. 
Once again you mention my non tree type income source. I’d say that you are borderline discriminatory here. Diluted the forum ? there are several other parts of the forum you can use that are exclusively Arb related ???. You do see the irony of the points you are making about people’s opinions and then non Arb types etc etc I hope. 
Right wing ??? not sure where you get

By claiming its OTT it obviously triggers you in some way.

Let's see a selfie of all you and your colleagues then Johnson, otherwise you're just claiming things without any proof. I apologise for any oil rig worker discrimination, perhaps I should go back to PC school

I see what your problem is brother....

 

Its 2020. 
 

In 2020 it’s simply ‘not enough’ to be a decent, rounded, balanced and experienced person that takes anyone they meet at face value (until proven otherwise.)

 

In 2020 passive ‘decent humanity’ is just not enough - unless you are a rabid, foam at the mouth, Antifa, BLM, gay pride activist you simply ain’t trying hard enough and you might as well rename yourself Alf Garnet. 
 

It’s the modern day self flagellation most favoured by the Tarquin’s & Jermima’s who are overwhelmed with guilt from the capitalist gains of their parents generation. 
 

The irony of course, is that the more we see of this overt activism / often lawlessness, the closer it brings us towards anarchy - still the underlying objective of many of the hard core elements that exist within these groups. 
 

Ironic because that same anarchy would result in such circumstances that would likely be most unpalatable to the whiniest bar stewards.

Very very poor and quite frankly ignorant reply, why on earth would I lie about the make up of a project team. The 3 x 3.4 inspection coordinators I quoted ie Vijay (Indian) Ahmed (Egyptian) and George (Nigerian) would be in hysterics at me asking to have a selfie to prove that I’m not some racist intolerant bigot. We don’t tend to get massive group pics with ID on to indicate race and religion. So in your eyes if I think something is politically correct to the point of ridiculousness then I have an issue ?‍♂️?‍♂️?‍♂️?‍♂️?‍♂️If that’s the case millions  of everyday working class people the UK have an issue With ludicrous ott pc and that includes many different races not just white. 
Ps 

Next time a client forks out the tens of thousands of pounds required to mobilise a crew and cover flights and quarantine/testing etc I’ll take a pic of the crew list and post it in the meantime you will just have to cling to the shred of hope  that I’m lying.

Boris Johnson has not walked away from trade talks - but says the EU must change direction to save them.

I wasn't making an argument just saying it seems you're offended by what you see on TV. 

Its just interesting that for the amount of arb related work you do it seems you take up a lot of bandwidth on here. It dilutes the forum.

 

Talking about soul mates it seems like you have your very own right wing love triangle going on ?

Aye, there was in influx of right wing 'commentators' who joined arbtalk around brexit time and have hung around since then. There were some before but they eventually got booted out. Not that that there's anything wrong with that.

Aye mate marra like 

right wing commentators lol ? 

Just curious Mark what’s your company called ??. 
Whom got booted out ?? Quite frankly it’s a shame you think along those lines, the trend to oft quoted the other forms of employment some take on here rather than pure Arb shall I say I’d like a child not wanting certain people at a party. 
Me joining the forum coincided more with a return to milling and timber framing and the desire to improve my knowledge than the political scenario.

I truly hope he doesn’t give ground on the state aid issue if I have to explain to you why then you are indeed blinded by boris. As for fishing rights what the EU ie France and Spain are asking for is a total joke. 
Currently Mark  we are goosed being tied to EU, on your doorstep out of Blyth Dogger Bank windfarm etc how much of that is coming to the local economy ??? Nothing we can do about it under current EU regs . The famous windfarm that pissed trump off up off the coast of his golf course, at its peak 500 involved in its construction, 10 of which were Scottish, that’s a published fact again zero we can do about it under current regs. 
We both agree change is required is it not ??? 
You think by going hard left it will work I think better to adopt a hard nationalistic approach ie UK industry and workers first ?‍♂️?‍♂️I’m sure you will disagree.

I'm not suggesting you're one of them. I've noticed that there has been a trend towards the more vocal and aggressive defense of the right wing stance since around then, on all forums, not just this one.

What's your interest in my business?

I'm planning on getting to work with some land soon. Timber framing is something I know nothing about.

Arbtalk is a wicked resource.
