How can I judge? Never had either. What I can say though is that the greater societal harm is undoubtedly done by racists than by bigots.

Yes

Really! Are you being serious? Equating false accusations with racial abuse.

There's nothing in your reply that I would disagree with. The aim to achieve a society where someone's sexuality is simply a fact of life, deserving neither approval or disapproval, is admirable. In the meantime, to use my original statement, "However it is a simple fact that many millions are...

I accept all that but try telling a believer that their belief is a choice. For many it's not a choice but a fundamental of their existence. If that faith dictates that homosexual sex, for example, is wrong then the best we can hope for is that they will tolerate without interference or...

I don’t approve of someone being any particular colour or ethnicity, I am totally indifferent. In the same way as whether or not someone is gay is a matter of indifference for me. However it is a simple fact that many millions are neither indifferent or approving but so long as they are...

Your definition of homophobe may or may not be correct - depends on which dictionary you read but that is not the point I am trying, obviously ineffectively, to make. Your expectation that everyone should approve of any particular lifestyle is an unrealistic but admirable aim. There must be...

No - I don’t subscribe to the view that “we should not bother” and that has no correlation to my view that in general we live in a tolerant society. Do you not see the difference between tolerating someone’s views and not tolerating actions that are harmful and hateful towards others? If so...

We live in a society of millions of people, each one an individual with a myriad of views on a whole range of subjects. The fact that in general our’s is a peaceful society is all down to the level of tolerance shown by the population. In essence, taking your view that tolerance is not enough...

The club are probably right regarding the buses as they don’t physically run them themselves. However on the concourse they have every right, (and duty IMO), to insist on mask wearing as they have made doing so one of the terms of entry. I have only been to one match this season and hardly...

On average between £33k and £35k - not enough I agree but unlike the HGV driver there is a career path - the top nursing band has salaries between £93k and £108k https://www.nurses.co.uk/blog/a-quick-overview-of-nurses--salaries-in-the-uk-in-2021/

The very word I was going to use

Sold mine for the Arsenal match just 15 minutes after listing. Strangely whoever bought it never turned up - or at least if they did, didn’t sit in my seat.

That would rule out the wife driving - Fiat 500, 35l tank In any case how would you impose a minimum spend? Draw up at pump, put a tenners worth in tank and go to pay - “that’ll be £50 madam” - that’s going to work - not!

Never mentioned blame - just questioning your assertion that in semi-skilled areas wages rose in line with their counterparts. They most certainly haven’t, rather the opposite for most. I’m hoping that short term pain will drive long term gains in the same way that is likely for HGV drivers.

Tell that to workers in the care sector!

I can recommend Boxpark, (George St), for food. Fabulous selection of street food from around the world. https://www.boxpark.co.uk/croydon/

Don’t understand the arguments over the “offsides” - personally I thought neither of the goals should have been disallowed which made it even more enjoyable when they were :lolol:

When my wife started her first job straight out of catering college the first task she was given was to fillet the whitebait :ohmy:
