How the "experts" get away with it...

#1 Post by Sim G »

We seem to be bombarded at the minute by "experts" and their opinions. Opinions which are nothing but fantasy dressed up as fact in order to pursue their own crazy, discrimatory agenda. Even by those supposedly fighting our corner, the likes of Yardley...

So for a man who doesn't do social media, I joined Twitter this morning to specifically challenge Iain Overton and whilst at it, thought I'd see what Yardley was orally deficating....

Three replies to Yardley, non in the remotest abusive, and the crazy narcissist blocks my account!

The liars, charlatans, back biters and frauds are able to spout their bile because the avenue of challenge is blocked at every step.

On the bright side, the licensing and medical authorities will soon be highlighted towards one or two of these as they should be heavily medicated in rooms with padded wall paper, with nothing more sharp than a block of cheese....

They really are the crazy people!
In 1978 I was told by my grand dad that the secret to rifle accuracy is, a quality bullet, fired down a quality barrel..... How has that changed?

The danger with social media is that so many now see it as FACT and as you have noticed, your replies get blocked / deleted if they do not conform to the "agenda" in this case terminal verbal dysentry by Mr Yardley.

You only need to read the comments in places like yahoo news / Mail / Express to see how they delete comments that are not in line with what they want to hear or which disagree completely with the agenda they are pushing.
Political Correctness is the language of lies, written by the corrupt , spoken by the inept!

Ahhhhh I knew Iain Overton's name rang a bell! This is the same journalist who falsely accused Lord McApline was involved in the abuse of Children. For that piece of shoddy journalism he resigned his position at the BOI.

Interesting that Sky has such a short memory that they allow this "Expert" onto their news broadcasts considering prior history:

http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/boij-editor-ia ... bbc-404020

He breached journalistic standards and ethics yet people fawn over him and his book in the media! I wonder what Gaz has to say about such things!

No, there's nothing to "help" with, but, if you haven't seen what he "tweets" you ought to.

At the time of the handgun ban and the campaign against it, circumstances found me in the company of Yardley on several occasions. I thought he was a little "odd" then, but now! His CV is aclittlevpronevto exaggeration as well, judging what others gave uncovered since his current round of "crazy speak" began. Sheesh.... As was said in Newcastle when I was growing up, "He's proper do lally tap, man!"

Definition of an 'expert'.

An ex is a has been and a spurt is a drip under pressure.

Sums Yardley up no end.

The problem is that these people manage to re invent themselves at every turn and the people affected by them are either never publically backed up (or these muppet's rubbish is never challenged publically) by them thats paid to do so.

All we seam to manage is to let of steam agreeing with each other that...

"Oh my god, we cant call them weapons" FFS

"Oh no, you cant shoot at that...it looks like a person" Can and will

"Oh no, this will get banned" Probably not, but if it breaks the law then fine

"Oh no....you called a bullet a head" FFSxFFS....massive waste of energy

"Oh no....etc etc

I guess if we put our energy into pushing the various bodies into actually putting some positive spin onto our activities to counter these bell-ends (OK, if they cant manage positive what about some reassurance?) then things might be better.
