Quoth Bob Brenchley.:
There is no evidence needed, you have proved by your words that you
are either a liar or a troll.


There we are. A clear offer of evidence refused.

No, Bob, it doesn't work like that. When someone very clearly has a
quite different opinion and experience than you, it verges on the
sociopathic to just start calling them a liar. Saying "that's not my
experience" is perfectly acceptable, because it allows for the
difference - saying "you're a liar" without a full investigation only
demonstrates that you regard any experience differing from your own as
non-existent, which is quite divergent from what most people would
regard as normal, social behaviour. Unless you know, intimately, every
case handled by every office of every protection agency in the UK, and
are utterly sure that local offices don't diverge in practice (for
example, because local environments vary), you can't possibly know that
you're correct - which is what is required before you start screaming
"liar".
