What has happened in this country

[bpoolrover]

Tricky one though bpool. Why do they carry knives, why are many more black people in society involved in crime etc?  Get to the root cause to address the issue.  Even then, it's a poor generalisation given so many black people just want normal lives without that feeling.  It's not nice being picked on by police for a reason outside your control. 

I had it by some idiot because I didn't look like I should have the car I had.  He even tried accusing me of hitting the car behind when I pulled in and had it on camera. He did not like it when I told he him he thus had to show me (which he couldn't as it didn't happen).  Imagine being an honest black person penalised for what others say (probably feels like insinuation you're a racist for saying the complete opposite). 100 percent agree to try get to the root of it, the problem is how to do that

But apparently it is ok to use the term Tory Fanboys.
Do you think that is acceptable?

I would suggest you would be offended if your we are looney leftie. If you were a Tory fanboy then probably not.

Maybe if you found one of each to ask?

I don’t understand what you are saying there wilts?
“If your we are loony leftie”?
Sorry, I don’t get that at all.

Apologies hound, quick post in my lunch break (as this is during a tea break whilst doing the garden). It should have said:

I would suggest you would be offended (being called a Tory Fanboy if your were a looney leftie. If you were a Tory fanboy then probably not.

I agree that this latest sleight of violence was mainly down to the idiotic far right If not solely

I would suggest that the initial violence and damage was probably not

The far right didn’t pull down a statue in Bristol or spray graffiti on historic statues

Nor did the people in Bristol damage or spray graffiti on a War Memorial - which is maybe 10 yards from a statute they pulled down.

So are the far-right defending War Memorials - or memorials of slave traders?

And I think you will find plenty of far-right graffiti and damage to memorials:

It's only unacceptable if it isn't true...

Double negative there pies, so not sure what you actually mean.

  Syd, is it just the Tory part of the UK you hate or all of it? and why come back?

He's coming back because he wants to meet BB and myself, and get our autographs.

 OH, well worth coming back for then Steve, I don't know how he has earned such a great honour though.

I could be lookng over your back fence right now SS

Looks like the government want to kick the can down the road a bit more rather than implement recommendations from the many previous enquiries.

''The new government commission on racial inequalities is being set up by a No 10 adviser who has cast doubt on the existence of institutional racism and condemned previous inquiries for fostering a “culture of grievance”, it has emerged''

Ok, Hound, I'll be charitable and assume you're just being mischievous rather than not able to understand basic English.  So, for clarity... it's only unacceptable to call a person a 'Tory Fanboy' if the person at whom it is aimed is not a Tory Fanboy.  Happy?

  Love this it's a right laugh, I hope the same people disgusted at any racial name calling will remember when calling older people gammon, racial bigots etc. on other threads. 

What do you call people who keep insulting others by calling them liberal leftie elitists?

I'm mulling over 'fascist bullyboys' myself. 

I am very happy now thank you pies.
So by following that train of thought I guess it is ok to call someone a liberal leftie elitist if the person at which it is aimed isn’t a liberal leftie elitist.

I glad we got that cleared up.  🙂

That's the exact opposite of what pies said.

[drfchound]

Oh no it isn’t.

[Glyn_Wigley]

I'll let pies confirm whether it is or not.

[drfchound]

Wow, can’t wait.

[i_ateallthepies]

Read it again, Hound.  It's there in plain English.

If ever you do Sydney, make sure you have some smelling salts with you. Have you ever seen a gargoyle sunbathing?

[drfchound]

I know pies.
I saw it first time.
GW gets so agitated when I post things so I was having a bit of fun.

[wilts rover]

So by following that train of thought I guess it is ok to call someone a liberal leftie elitist if the person at which it is aimed isn’t a liberal leftie elitist.

None of my business wading into someone else's argument of course but I would have to say Yes.

Because that is one of the best ways of telling the reader that you (the poster) are a Tory Fanboy.

I do love being called a 'liberal leftie elite' myself. I smile and think 'I wonder how many certificates for bricklaying you have?'

I wouldn't know hound but I must admit I would be more worried if you agreed with me!

No offence like.

We have agreed on things in the past but I won’t let on if you don’t.
No offence taken by the way.

Thanks for the link Kato, most the the points in it could be made into charges against johnson, there has to culpability

[scawsby steve]

Also, added to that report is the sombre fact that football and all forms of entertainment will probably never be the same again.

Let's all just f*cking hang ourselves.

[phil old leake]

Pies.  The way things are going and the way people are now starting to think in this 21st century I would suggest that it’s not acceptable at any time to call anyone anything even if they are what they’re called

[drfchound]

Phil, how dare you call him “pies”.

[Donnywolf]

Probably i_ateallthepies would say - as Rashford said when told Han-cog had praised him but called him "Daniel Rashford" - Ive been called worse

[Not Now Kato]

What has happened to this country is a seriously apt question....
