You should stop with the builder thing though, I mean s bloody what? IWork with teenagers, but I still say f**k and c**t a lot when I'm having a beer. I don't want to base my whole persona around it though. I'm basically on your side for the most part, but thing giggirl got it spot on a few posts back RE self censorship.

Man, who do I have to sleep with to be in the know on these things?


For my part, I'm less offended by language than disappointed and bored that the level of wit has sunk beneath that of Dave's continuity announcers (oh and the very excellent Cobra sponsorship ads on the same channel)

If I organised it would you come and watch RosieH?;-)

.. and another thing.


Occupation has nothing to do with the acceptability of language used in a public place. Use F and C all you want in a Pub - which is a controlled environment and is not an open arena. The Forum is a public place and so the use of bad language is as bad here as it would be on a bus or in a Supermarket. Just because people do it, doesnt make it right and is certainly not big and clever.

    • 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
