so if we're going down the path of using tenuous statistics to 'prove' a theory does that mean someRange Rover Sport TDV8 drivers are complete Censored s given they have a large ownership so some are likely to fit into that group

I'd not go so far as to say that though Whistle Laughing

Yes, some will be just as some Disco drivers will be, and some BMW drivers and some Audi drivers etc. That's the point.

If you wish to think that I am such a person, fair enough, makes no difference to me. Thumbs Up

I'd just like to clarify the Hitler voting comment I made...

When he was elected in the early 30's he did not go round saying he was a homicidal maniac bent on death and destruction. No, that would have been too easy to spot.

Hitler said that foreigners (and jews in his case) were ruining the country.

Exactly what the Daily Mail is saying.

Germany in the early 30's had been through the years of hyper inflation and was in the grip of the world economic slump. Desperate people who are struggling are easier to convince than prosperous ones.

There is a section of society today who have seen globalisation pass them by. Globalisation, which has produced vast wealth, has been basically hoovered up by the rich (look at the USA in particular), leaving this section of society bitter and feeling neglected.
Add in the financial crisis of 2008 in which the rich came away unscathed, while this section of society has taken the full effect and you can see why they are angry.

They read the Daily Mail which feeds the anger and gives them something and someone to blame. The EU and foreigners.

Its not surprising. Its also wrong.

I dont 'blame' or want to 'abuse' Daily Mail readers. It is obvious why they are angry. The political elite has ignored them and they have taken their revenge.

As far as I can see, it will only get worse from here and I believe the Daily Mail will be at the forefront of laying the blame squarely on foreigners, muslims and liberals.

You probably think this is all very patronising but to me it is simply the explanation of where this country is today.

Have a lovely evening - I'm off to get another glass of wine...

Very Happy
