All I have done is speak in general terms about the state of things in the UK. The Wallace stuff is an example, here once again we have trial by media and people in general. I have made the point that very few people on this forum have mentioned that as it stands these are just allegations, and...
Of course I would accept their account of events in your example, but this is a far way from the demand by protesters for a blanket "believe the victims". This demand IS a call for guilty until proven innocent.
Being found innocent does not mean you are not guilty, it just means that you have gone through a system of testing the evidence of the claim against you. I would be happy with the slogan listen to the accuser, but believe the victim is essentially saying guilty until proven innocent, which I...
Absolutely untrue. Please show me where I have even spoken about the complainants. As to the definition of woke it has gone from meaning being awake to white middle class privilege and being aware of the discrimination that persists for people of colour and those in lower economic circumstances...
The tangent started because I took issue with the hyperbolic media reaction to his behaviour, not his behaviour, which for the record I think if he is guilty he should be reprimanded. Pretty much all the comments on here treat this as a closed and shut case, he is guilty before going to trial...
I agree it's not a conspiracy it's is becoming normalised behaviour, to the point if you speak out about it you too, are guilty. With the Harry Potter bag nonsense said I would have sent her home and to come back when she had grown up. Nope that would not have been in any way acceptable, he...
This subject requires its own thread, but just a few examples of what I find excessive.
The Austistic girl who was recently dragged through the FA disciplinary process and banned for 6 matches because she dared to ask a bearded player If they were male. When she was told the person was trans...
That Hugo, is a massive discussion. but if you are up on the criticisms of the likes of Rowan Atkinson and Ricky Gervais regarding the attack on free speech, and the demonising of people who don't fit world view of the so called progressives, then you have a rough idea of where I am at. I...
Ah no. Where do I even slightly suggest that I am being pushed? By acknowledging there was a push? really is that the limit of your ability to think critically?
I am the same, however our little poll backs up the wider stats of people who are immune to covid. When tested a lot of "never had it" do have antibodies, suggesting they have come into contact with the disease but fought it off.
Read my f***ing post in its context mate! Here's a f***ing clue mate, it was a response to another post about embracing the social changes that are currently happening.
So you have taken my post completely out of context, I agree with the changes to workplace behaviour, in the 70's and 80's they were disgraceful, and I don't have any issue with him being reprimanded in this case. the point I was making was from another post saying that we need to embrace the...
No, I won't, in the same way that the old days went way too far and needed some correction, what is going on today is almost the polar opposite. The idea of a Non Crime Hate Incident is nuts. Tearing down statues rather than expanding on the history of the person eg Captain Cook tell the story...
