Do you trust the police?

[IC1967]

Seems like all you lefties are in the minority. Two thirds of people do trust the police. You'd never think so reading this thread would you. Just shows how a leftie perspective is totally at odds with what most people think.

That also implies that one third don't...  Just because some folks don't trust the police doesn't make them "lefties" either.

And, if you're going to link to articles on the BBC website, have a look at this one too

There is also a difference between trusting individual police officers, and having faith (or not) in the police establishment as a whole, regardless of what politics you prefer.

You sound like a leftie to me.

Where?

Show me, prove it.

[IC1967]

I offer no proof. You are guilty as charged until you prove your innocence.

Hang on. You've made the claim, yet you're not willing to back it up and are in fact demanding he prove otherwise?

Absolute tool.

Oh f**k off!  Absolute b*llocks!

You said I sounded like a leftie, so you show me the evidence to justify that accusation..

For what it is worth, as it is none of yours nor anyone else's business, I am quite apolitical actually.  These days there is little difference in each party, and I exercise my rights not to vote.  If our system demanded that I vote, then I would argue for a "none of the above" selection on the ballot paper.

Having reviewed your last post I have now decided that you may not be a leftie. However the jury is still out. I'll be monitoring your posts before I make a final judgement. At this stage (unless you provide more evidence) I feel I can only offer a partial apology.

I too don't vote. There is no point in Doncaster. However this time I'll be voting for UKIP as at last there is a protest vote available. I suggest you do the same and I will never brand you a leftie again.

More flannel.

Where is your justification to back up your original accusation?

This is what really annoys me about this forum - folks making claims or accusations about people they don't know, be they fellow fans, club officials, owners etc - and not giving any evidence to back up their points of view. 

So, as John Major once said, put up or shut up!

[IC1967]

I offer no justification merely opinion. Hopefully that is good enough for you.

Why do people respond to this trolling?

He has succumbed to the ignore list for me but unfortunately a few of you quote him in your posts and I then inadvertently read his drivel.

Don't feed him and he will be starved of the attention he craves and hopefully go elsewhere in search of it.

No it isn't good enough for me.  You won't say on what grounds you formulated your opinion (of me), so I won't accept your opinion.

Stockton's right, let's leave it.

However, I responded to your BBC link re trusting the police (back to the point) with another BBC link about the police.  You have yet to respond to that.

I've read the report and it doesn't change my view or what the general public feel. Two thirds still support the police. So I don't see what point you are trying to make.

Not making a point at all - you provided a link to a BBC article about the police, and so did I.  I made no point about either article, just provided a link.

If 2/3 support the police, 1/3 don't.  Here, I am not saying either is right or wrong.

[IC1967]

When I posted my link i was making the point that most of the general public trust the police whilst nearly all the lefties on this forum don't.
