Engaged in a thread with a lad who is old enough to vote about a status he posted saying that Illegal immigrants/refugees get £29,900 pa from the Government while pensioners get £6,000.
I challenged this, with a link, to show that it is plain incorrect. His response? "yeah, buh!".
Me: So the facts are irrelevant?
Him: well my opinion is that there’s not any deporting going on! Look at that girl from Syria?
Me: The girl who wanted to come back to Britain and was denied by removing her citizenship?
Him: Yeah but she’s not the only one!? There’s bloody hundreds and there more foreigners than brits in London fact.
I again linked stats on deportations and immigration.
Him: if it were my choice all them lot would be out of this country for good! Personally.
The discussion continued a little more but I find it highly disturbing that these views are so entrenched in some that the facts are irrelevant and they simply say things like their last statement. And their vote counts the same as anyone else's. Please educated people, whatever your views, make your votes count whenever you get the chance. |  |

The bit about more foreigners than British people in London is utter rubbish as well. Actually, anyone who puts ‘fact’ at the end of a sentence tends to be an idiot as well.
Best not to engage in k nobs like him. |  | | |

Certain phrases are helpful in identifying a numpty though.
'Fact'.
'Balls'
'End of'
'Common Sense'
'PC gone mad'.
'University of Life'
I'm sure there are plenty of others. | |

It would be helpful for us thinking types if you could use more words in your posts so we can get an idea of what you're trying to convey.
Try a full sentence every now and then and you might find some people agree with whatever it is you're trying to say.
None the less, I have attempted to translate your post, and I think you're having a passive aggressive whine about the person in the original post being called a kn0b.
Maybe you could explain why you don't think he is a kn0b? Because, based on what he said, he does seem a bit of a knob though, wouldn't you agree? [Post edited 24 Apr 2019 19:42]

Millions of British people used to watch Love Thy Neighbour and Mind Your Language once too and loved them. I wouldn't worry too much. |  | | |

Had a very similar thing with one of my uncles last year. He posted some crap on fb about how much asylum seekers get compared to pensioners. Possibly even the same meme.
I responded by linking to the government website that shows how much they get a week. He just deleted my response... |  | | |

I think you know what I was getting at.
To act ignorant to my response referring to Martins post is just turning the other cheek . [Post edited 24 Apr 2019 19:48]

Can you at least try and explain why you don't think he's a kn0b?
Like I said, read what he said and well, it does sound a bit knobbish, don't you think?
Ignoring facts because it's convenient. That's a bit knobbish, isn't it? Seems a bit snowflakey too, when you can't admit you were wrong. [Post edited 24 Apr 2019 19:46]
