Nor me....just whiling away a brief lunch break at work and as I'm the owner, they all think I am being really productive. Stops you going mad...a bit of light relief on the keyboard.
Everything can be flipped and there are some out there who have been waiting for this opportunity. Its all fair game now. The dear old snowflakes and politically correct are in their element. The trouble is...it will spiral out of control.
No....don't allow yourself to be shot down in flames by those who revel in it and avoid answering the question unless it suits their particular agenda. It was perfectly valid to ask a question about a form of music that can inflame and incite people. Ok for them to use provocative and sensitive...
Any Churchill statue has got to go.
The man has so much to answer for. If he had simply stood aside and let Halifax and his cronies negotiate, then all this could have been avoided. We could have kept our identity and our Commonwealth. The USA wouldn't have got involved and that would have left...
Exactly.
What about some war reparation from Germany ( they can afford it....thats two wars by the way ) What about China making good the global economic loss suffered through Covid 19. What about Switzerland returning some of the ill gotten gains sitting in its vaults? And as for the Elgin...
Columbus statue pulled down and destroyed in the States!!!!!!!
Ignorance knows no bounds. This will now go on and on and on. Anything is fair game now. It will be the ' Royal ' statues next. Someone in high authority has to show some moral courage now and put a stop to this nonsense. People are...
Over 60% polling 5/10 or lower so far, seems to indicate that there is widespread disinterest/discomfort in all of this. Can only assume that sheer bloody boredom is playing a part in the excitement being shown by some.
I think you are terribly confused. Why are you posting garbage about Brexit on a thread about historical statues. There is a thread specifically on Brexit and it occupies almost every waking minute of every day for about ten people, in general, who are obsessed about the subject and one of those...
1.......Don't agree with it......not looking forward to it......its too soon......only mid-way through first Covid 19 outbreak.....another will come in the Autumn/Winter..... artificial football in empty soulless stadiums.....it won't be a true reflection on the earlier part of the...
Not sure that comedy from the past can be regarded as ' not relevant to today ' Where do we draw the line? Do we dismiss most of the history of comedy because it is risque? Do we disregard the ' Chaplin/Keaton era...the Music Hall era....do we dismiss any joke that starts.....' an Englishman...
Very sensible.
This hasn't gone away ( although many are behaving as if it has ) and it will come back. The authorities know it will return and they know a winter lockdown is a possibility. They want the economy back as soon as possible, to get 4-5 months of money rolling back into the Exchequer...
I agree about a lot of the cabinet ( Rishi Sunak a notable exception ) but I still think Boris is getting a bit of a rough deal. The poor devil very nearly died and is still, clearly very much under par. He looks pale, drawn and his eyes are sunken. To rush back after about a week's recuperation...
That is a simplification that needs some clarifying.
The protest movement is not saying ' Black American Lives Matter '...it is saying ' Black Lives Matter ' This, therefore, includes, by definition, all black people globally. Black is defined as ' mid to dark brown ' complexion. Not all black...
These ten people have contributed ONE THIRD of all posts on this thread over the course of the last four years....' Never in the field of human conflict, have so many, owed so much, to so few '
