[Harry Wilson's tackle]

patriotic almost a swear word these days

I was being ironic.

Of course it isn't. I'm patriotic.

But when applied by barren to racist thugs in London, it is a debasement of language.

The vets didn’t engage with the Old Bill at all, as for social distancing, that’s sooooo last month. X

We can clearly see the " Come on then ! " rotation as they came forward and rotated back in the classic " They aint worth it " moving point of focus. Threw a few bottles and then went to the back of the herd.

Actually thrown in jail, just for saying you're English?

Yeah. These days.

 

[Eeyore]

Yeah. These days.

It's so odd. I've often mentioned about being English and proud of it yet still not been arrested.

I guess they've got a few to get round.

 

[birthofanorange]

please be more clear?

Is this better?

"You can be patriotic, mindless thugs going around spitting & attacking women, fighting with police and pissing on memorials"

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Not this ex - serviceman.


If course, you wouldn’t know this, you never served, did you, Das?

No but he did m'sturbate while watching Zulu.

I've heard Mesut Özil is demanding to be boarded up for Saturday.

For life. Don't you read Brietbart?

 

[Mr Bridger]

It was a reference to the resident tosser's post I was quoting.

So was there serviceman in that video?

you can be patriotic and just be normal

just a thought

Of course you can, but the ones out there today were anything but...agreed?

no idea,I wasn't there

were you?

 

[birthofanorange]

were you?

No, of course not, but it certainly wasn't the actions of normal people, was it? Or does one actually have to be in the presence of such behaviour to acknowledge this?

Perhaps you think it might have been fake news?

Johnny Engish is in trouble then.

Officer: Name

English: ****

Regardless of the merits of your own assertion, could his statement that its possible to be 'Patriotic and normal' ever be true, in your opinion?

If you read back a couple of posts, you'll see that I have already said so. Do you consider the people that were shown today to be both patriotic and normal?

 

[daveinplzen]

Seems to be a very good adherence, by the usual suspects of 'socal distancing' towards todays events.

I picked the thread up at the point I commented, and I commented on what I saw, which strongly pointed towards you holding a view that being a Patriot was a pejorative term.
I feel that conflating Patriotism with some louts' behaviour is lazy at best. At the risk of sounding flip, the world is complex, and not neccessarily monochrome.

I have no idea why you had that impression, as I clearly said it was possible to be patriotic and behave normally. It seemed that some were describing the attendees today as patriotic. They may well be, but they certainly showed no sign of being normal (normal, as in acceptable behaviour).

In the interest of balance, I went back and looked at the unfolding narrative. To be fair, I'm still none the wiser, and admit that its just possible I got the wrong end of the stick. (big of me, eh?)

I have come to the conclusion that I'm better reading emotions on faces than screens. This will be my last comment of this type ever.

I should thank you for that.
