The chimp, unlike you, only ever posts snidey one liners designed to cause bother, so in that respect he is the best example we have on here of someone trolling the forum.

He's not even crossing the line under the bridge.

Again, I'm a little disappointed you think that way.

At least I can't be accused of calling him a troll just because I disagree with him because, well, he rarely says anything that can be disagreed, or agreed, with.

Isn't that at least a red flag for you?

I'd turn myself in to the nearest mod. But there aren't any.

Did Chimpers ever declare their pronouns out loud..??

I like to think they're far too enigmatic, for that kind of solid self-definition.

I could be wrong, and be thinking of one of the other preternatural entities that wafts in and out of here from time to time 🤔

At least partly because if the scale of benefit fraud by the citizen is more than say an order of magnitude less than the scale of financial mismanagement and fraud by the state then it becomes a victimless crime. There's no point grassing up Dave the plasterer for a few grand if the state is pissing away billions.

Dave just needs to take the revenue guy out for lunch and they'd probably let him off paying, like vodaphone bloke did when they owed 750 million.

Are you seriously conflating benefit cheats with rapists?

Don't be silly - he's unsympathetic toward benefit cheats.

You might think differently if your house is clumsily burgled

I love the way Paley has a moral get-out clause for some fantasy Raffles or Sir Charles Litton character, and has to make it clear that he only means those nasty junkie sorts.

 

[theclaud]

I have no need to prove my bona fides to anyone

BICSc?

 

[theclaud]

I'm shocked. You've never told us before that you didn't vote for this government.

It's becoming the My Dad Was A Toolmaker of NCAP.

I am unsympathetic towards every criminal, irrespective of age, gender, race, whether they are half man, half biscuit, disabled, etc etc.

I know you are being snidey, but you do touch on an interesting point.

The clean, Raffles type burglar - the type who can do your gaffe and barely leave a trace - largely no longer exists.

This is because many have turned to drug dealing because it is much more lucrative.

Just decriminalise drugs already.

Living on the edge!

I am unsympathetic towards every criminal […] whether they are half man, half biscuit […]

I thought you could sink no lower, but badmouthing St. Nigel and the boys takes the er... biscuit.

The new government is stopping a few of their worst practices but the top of the DWP still needs gutting.
