Am I the only person who thinks this is somewhat passe? A faux jovial OP that is at least 30 years past its sell by date in terms of humour?

Maybe I am?


Actually I find the whole sentiment of it in poor taste.


You can do better than this Bigbadwolf.

In a dull but worthy way...


I was intrigued that for the 1.2 billion Chinese who don't speak English, they all knew one word for the Brits - Hooligan.


It's kind of twee and 1970s, but a massive part of the Chinese perception of the UK as a socially failed state.


There's no irony in the fact that it's Irish of course. Chancers.

On The BBWolf scale this rates at about a 3.1


He can do a lot worse but his eviction notice is still on a short leash.

'Doubt' is uncertainty. The only thing that is certain in life is that you will die. Why worry about uncertainty when you know the result. Enjoy, embrace uncertainty.........life would be boring without it!!!

    • Kwik Fit buggered up an A/C leak diagnosis for me (saying there wasn't one, when there was) and sold a regas. The vehicle had to be taken to an A/C specialist for condensor replacement and a further regas. Not impressed.
    • Yes, these are all good points. I agree with you, that division has led us down dangerous paths in the past. And I deplore any kind of racism (as I think you probably know).  But I feel that a lot of the current wave of xenophobia we're witnessing is actually more about a general malaise and discontent. I know non-white people around here who are surprisingly vocal about immigrants - legal or otherwise. I think this feeling transcends skin colour for a lot of people and isn't as simple as, say, the Jew hatred of the 1930s or the Irish and Black racism that we saw laterally. I think people feel ignored and looked down upon.  What you don't realise, Sephiroth, is that I actually agree with a lot of what you're saying. I just think that looking down on people because of their voting history and opinions is self-defeating. And that's where Labour's getting it wrong and Reform is reaping the rewards.   
    • @Sephiroth you made some interesting points on the economy, on the Lammy thread. Thought it worth broadening the discussion. Reeves (irrespective of her financial competence) clearly was too downbeat on things when Labour came into power. But could there have been more honesty on the liklihood of taxes going up (which they have done, and will do in any case due to the freezing of personal allowances).  It may have been a silly commitment not to do this, but were you damned if you do and damned if you don't?
    • 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
