Wrong again, if you followed my request we would both have returned to the original topic and the Patel debate would have ended.
Thankfully it looks like it now has.
Why should I stop talking about an appropriate topic because you've requested me to. I've explained very clearly why it was pertinent to the topic. If you don't want to debate Patel, that's your lookout, but I won't stop discussing an issue just because it doesn't fit your narrative of how a topic should go.
I hope others can see the irony of the thread given the title.
