implicit in your post is an attraction for Mick Mac tho', PGC - care to deny or confirm?


The people I have had the largest barneys with on here are often people I have gone on to find common ground with ( * wipes a tear at the memory of NatashaD *)


I'm always glad when Louisa comes back a-postin' after an absence, but we often diagree on both content and approach.

There is one on here who has posted stuff about a subject which it seemed clear to me he could not have experienced personally (through the way he was writing), has then PMd very offensively to me because he did not like my point of view, and yet people I have met who have met him say he's reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally nice.

Interesting innit, people's personas on here and how they differ in real life.

Ah - PGC - I was only jesting about the red hair - I have a 3 year old daughter who has the brightest orange hair, on a sunny day you can see her for miles - and its very very nice.

Smoking - I have always had rather bad asthma - so thats the reason for that one.

But Rangers - that I cannot overcome...no seriously I like a bit of banter and have a couple of rangers fans as friends - (although we don't speak often, just by text after old firm games).

    • I'd quit this thread, let those who just want to slag Labour off have their own thread.  Your views on the economy are worth debating.  I'm just stunned how there wasn't this level of noise with the last government.  I could try to get some dirt on Badenoch but she is pointless  Whilst I am not a fan of the Daily Mirror at least there is some respite from Labour bashing. https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/politics/grenfell-hillsborough-families-make-powerful-36175862 https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/politics/nigel-farage-facing-parliamentary-investigation-36188612  
    • That is a bit cake and eat it tho, isn’t it?    At what point do we stop respecting other people’s opinions and beliefs  because history shows us we sometimes simply have no other choice  you are holding some comfort blanket that allows you to believe we are all equal and all valid and we can simply voice different options - without that ever  impacting on the real world  Were the racists we fought in previous generations different? Were their beliefs patronised by the elites of the time? Or do we learn lessons and avoid mistakes of the past?   racists/bigots having “just as much to say” is both true and yet, a thing we have learnt from the past. The lesson was not “ooh let’s hear them out. They sound interesting and valid and as worthy of an audience as people who hold the opposite opinion” 
    • I don't have a beef with you. But I do have a beef with people who feel that a certain portion of the public's opinion isn't valid.  I don't like racism any more than anyone else here. But I do dislike the idea that an individual's thoughts, beliefs and feelings, no matter how much I may disagree with them, are somehow worth less than my own.  And I get the sense that that is what many disenfranchised voters are feeling - that they are being looked down upon as ignorant, racists who have no right to be in the conversation. And that's what brings out people on the margins and drives them towards extremes, like Reform.  Whether you like it or not, the racist, bigot, anti-european nextdoor to you has just as much say in the country as you do. Intellectual superiority is never going to bring them round. 
    • What is your beef with me ? Why are you asking rhetorical questions?  fighting me but excusing reform? have a look in the mirror  you’ve lost your way
