The BBC and other broadcasters regard a lot of this carp as normal and promote it! Very glad my family has grown up before all this happened, but when they have chlldren that will be difficult. I understand the mechanics of it dave , it's the lunatics ,and the way that they think and act , that I just can't comprehend . The more I see , hear , or read , the more I struggle to wrap my head around it all . I know all too well that I'm not what many would consider to be a modern man , and not very PC at times , but I try to be a decent person , that lives a decent life , and try to respect , or at least accept ,the individuality of others , but I just see these people as freaks , and dangerous freaks at that.

WalkedUp Posted September 28, 2021 Report Share Posted September 28, 2021 My wife teaches at an all girls school. When referring to them she has to call them “students” rather than “girls” and use the pronoun “they” rather than “she”. As soon as one becomes transgender all their friends follow suit.

Anyway I still haven't learnt what Father and my apprentice master told me. ..... Don't get involved in talking about Politics or religeon.! ...another couple of minutes wasted considering this labour nonsense. Still it's quite entertaining. I'd be more interested if they said that they'd subsidise sporting ammunition. Rather than about this nonsense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Political disagreements are one thing, but this stuff is just wrong. Lies. Stupid, evil lies that hurt children and women and enable some twisted men to get their rocks off. There are often disagreements on this forum, particularly on political matters. However I like to think that all of us could recognise a pr*ck if they saw one.

WalkedUp Posted September 28, 2021 Report Share Posted September 28, 2021 There are disagreements but generally they are good natured disagreements. This is the most sane corner of the internet I’ve seen, I don’t bother with any other social media. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, all are equal but some are more equal than others. To my knowledge it is the inevitable destiny of each instance of a socialist movement. In this scenario it is ok to call rich people “scum” but a capital offence to call a man “he”. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know a fellow who was brought up in South Africa. He quite often whistles to people and whilst beckoning them with a finger .. calls out... BOY,... YOU COME HERE. It's not very politically correct but he don't care. And ... IF YOU LOÒK AT ME LIKE THAT, I'LL HAVE YOU FLOGGED. ..... BOY.!! 😊😀😁😃😅😆 He Probably wouldn't be compatible with the Labour party.

I know exactly what you mean. I always use that exact phrasing (in my uncle’s accent) to my boys when I’m play fighting with them, my wife hates it as she found some of my family pretty rough and me not at all amusing.

I always use my vote but do so based purely on who I dislike least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
