Most crime committed by criminals, shock claim.

I'm astonished to read in the Guardian that 75% of credit card fraud is committed by criminals.

I can only assume the rest is carried out by law abiding citizens.

If you look at the actual article, it says nothing like what your comment states. I can only assumed you didn't bother to actually read the source material before blurting out your response. But you at least made your prejudices very clear.

I've read the article and don't get what you mean. Seems to me that Davids observation was astute & to the point. Also, regarding his 'prejudice' - it's not 'prejudice' to think someone is a bit daft after they've done something, well, a bit daft. It's judgement.

To be fair to Colin he wasn't referring to my original post, but Vulgarcrinimals reply in what I assumed was a satirical sort of way.
I thought that someone mocking the political illiteracy and prejudices of the Guardian being mocked for their prejudices in return was satire? Or did I misread things?

Are you sure? contextually, his response was more intelligible if taken as a riposte to the original post. Just.

I dunno - I know Colin and I think he's got enough of a sense of humour to be able to laugh at satire and play along.
