And by the way, I'm confident of the success of the FEP. Thanks for asking.

It IS negative to seek the dissolution of the UK. It IS positive to seek the creation of a separate parliament for England. It is NOT negative to want parity of treatment whatever the cause creating that wish.

Clearly your understanding and use of English is abnormal, which would explain your suggestion that I had asked a question in my previous posting. If you contend otherwise, perhaps you would cite the words I used in an interrogative form? [Now that was a conditional question!]

Since, on very scant evidence, you're so confident of success, perhaps you'll indicate the kind of successes you're expecting the FEP to achieve in the next twelve months? [Yes, another question!]

Be more successful than the EDP.

Yes, but how?

I've asked what you are going to do in the next twelve months as evidence of 'success'? So, you're not going to put up candidates in any by-elections or aim to recruit at least (say) one thousand members . . . ?

HMMmm! I see, you're expressing a hope rather than an intention! Good show!

If the FEP can't find better grounds for its existence that that, it should fold up immediately!

I can only conclude that, in the wake of the recent elections, you've seen over the abyss and become depressed about the FEP's prospects!

If you've nothing better to say than this, I suggest that you go and lie down in a darkened room until your composure is restored.

I would hardly conclude that the performance of Free England warrants us packing up and going home! We set ourselves some targets, albeit limited, and achieved them all. We are already working on our plans for the Euros next year, hardly the attitude of defeatists!

This hardly addresses the actual point i made. Unable to deal with THAT point, you've shifted onto other ground. An old, well worn tactic!

Has the Owner of this Board been very cunning in giving the nationalist splitters their own sections for separate development?

I should have thought you lot would have opposed Apartheid.
