Mynx, I'm sorry, but your argument against statistics based on drunk drivers doesn't hold up.
20% of fatal accidents are caused by drunk drivers - maybe, but what percentage of drivers are drunk? For instance, say that last month 1% of all drivers on the roads were over the drink-driving limit (no idea if this is accurate, by the way, it's just an illustration), but they caused 20% of the deaths that month. So - 1% of drivers cause 20% of deaths; 99% of drivers cause 80% of deaths. I know which car I'd rather be in...
However, I absolutely agree with your point about the way the government of the day twists statistics for their own ends. They all do it, whichever party. :-/
Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.

Glad you had 2 lovely PMs Verdun.
Not quite sure what that has to do with anything....... well I have really.
Now how many times have you left threads, only to return again?

Pdoc & Verdun IMO you two are like big kids. It doesn't take a genius to work out what is going on with the talk of PM's.
Why don't you both say you don't like each other and be done with it ?
I suggest the pair of you fall out with me instead and leave each other alone.
Verdun, I totally respect you and everyone else here. I was just trying to lend a little levity and maybe get u and PD chuckling at the 'borders' pun.
PS. i'm a vote leave

I like you KEF.
I don't dislike Verdun, he just annoys me, with his butter wouldn't melt, when it is clear what he is trying to do.

Thanks guys
I'll leave you to it.
I hoped to make matters better but as they say some fell on stony ground.
