Fine. In that case, I have reported you to the moderators.
And I am not an 'apologist'. I am raising an issue that you refuse to consider. Not liking my comments does not give you the right to insult me.
In that case, please correct me and explain the circumstances of Cllr. Brewer's comment.
We're waiting...

Hey, Dean Yager!

or...better still, answer the questions that people put to you. How could such repugnant comments be excused as "accidental"?
I have.
It may be common practice to insult people on these boards, but that does not make it acceptable. People should not be bullied into holding particular views.

i won't be told what to think, but i'll tell you all how to behave. it's my right
Gladly. In the real world, people do make comments such as these 'accidentally': that is to say, without really 'meaning to' or without meaning any offence. It's normally done out of joviality. Based on what I know about how this occurred, I suspect that was the case here and the whole thing has been blown out of proportion. That is not to say that I condone what he said - I certainly don't - but I do think that the reaction and the emotion that has been vested in this is very silly.
Then tell us how my behaviour is wrong and your behaviour (which has involved repeatedly insulting me) is right?

i already have
No you haven't. You have done nothing to show this. You were going to explain how my thoughts on what happened are lies. You haven't done that. All you are doing is insulting me, so I will now ignore you.

go read my posts.
a comment made at a council run event by a Councillor to someone running a stall at that event cannot be considered even semi private.
you're a liar to try to claim it was.
and that's just the one of your myriad of evidence free claims i've bothered to test.

I think your choice of the word "accidental" is instructive. In general usage it implies an unfortunate incident where no blame might be attributed; are you suggesting Brewer was blameless? Or, are you implying that he "accidentally" publicly revealed his true, (repugnant) feelings?
I note your use of the word "suspect". As such, it might be best not to rely on suppostion for argument?
I am sorry, but I am most certainly not a liar. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-cornwall-21594109 I am well-aware he made the comment at a stall, as you say, not in front of a crowd or audience, or in front of a journalist or a news camera. This is common knowledge, so to call me a liar is a bit silly. It was a comment made in a situation that was public, but where there would not have been an expectation that he would be quoted elsewhere. That is what I meant by 'semi-private'. It may be that you disagree, but you shouldn't call me a liar or otherwise insult me. That's wrong and there's no call for that here.
You make a fair point here, but I am using the word in a loose way to describe a situation where someone does something that they 'do not mean to do'. We've all done it. It may be 'accidental' in that sense, but that needn't imply that it is blameless - and I am certainly not saying that Cllr. Brewer is blameless. He made the comment and he was at fault. As for the word 'suspect', I am perfectly entitled to rely on supposition in an argument. I was not there, nor (I assume) were you.

then it wasn't anywhere near private in way way shape or form and was made to someone in their capacity as a representative of a disability charity.
you misrepresented the situation, cause you're an apologist, deliberately and have tried to bullshit your way out of being caught at that.
liar
apologist
and a complete fucking idiot for thinking you could get away with it.

full of suppositions and assumptions aren't you.
saves needing any of those pesky and elusive facts to back up your idiocy6
toggle,
I have not lied. I looked at the facts and explained the basis of my views. Cllr. Brewer is quoted as saying that he did not mean to make the comment and he doesn't know why he said it. That sounds a lot like a situation where he said something jocular and off-colour in a semi-private situation without really thinking about what he was saying. Of course, that should merit an apology, out of simple manners, if nothing else, but it doesn't merit all this.

a Councillor at a council run event, talking to a representative of a charity is not in a semi private situation, by any stretch of the imagination.
unless of course, you're an apologist idiot who will claim any old crap in order to make saying bigoted shite acceptable. oh,m i guess you are an apologist idiot, aren't you
