‘The wars were fought for the right not to be told what to do by the state’? I must have had different history lessons to you. And why the obsession with the Daily Mail?

The vast majority of the world however lives in a middle ground where there’s a social contract between a central authority and its people, but those people have a right to protest. Exercising that right is as important as having laws in the first place. If we followed your way, women would still be barred from voting and slavery would still be legal. I’ll take anarchy over that any day, or even just the right to protest.
My goodness, talk about pretentious exaggeration- you get the gold medal for this post. If we followed your way Russell Brand would be prime minister.
It was a joke. By the way, anarchy is defined as a state of disorder caused by the absence or non recognition of authority. I don’t think too many people would want to live in countries like that, do you?
Do I not remember more than one discussion in the past couple of weeks where you complained of being insulted by someone who shared a different view to yours?

Oh come on, hardly in the same category as being called absurd, stupid and cowardly is it?
@glasshalffull I use daily mail as shorthand for flag waving little Englanders terrified that the crime ridden politically correct gone mad world is going to hell in a handcart pushed by foreigners.

Is “ad hominem” a little too “pretentious” for you too?

Probably a slight upgrade on Donald Trump.

I don't think they would.
So I guess we better all wear poppies and sing the anthem.
Happy Christmas.
And a happy 3 points on Boxing Day.

Fair enough, anyway Happy Christmas.
And a passive aggressive new year!

I’ll leave you to wallow in your own intellect.
Crikey. Britain really has had enough of experts.
Crush the saboteurs!
