HI all


"Political Correctness"


The American reactionary right created the term in order to disparage the many attempts by govt to use legislation etc to bring about fair and equal treatment.


"Political correctness" does not mean that any section of our society gets extra protection, or that you should not report black crime for example. It DOES mean that racism etc needs to be binned.


It was very saddening to watch "Confessions of a traffic Warden" last evening on TV, and witness the unparalleled racism, hatred and vitriol pouring out of many peoples (mostly white british) mouths.


We need more political correctness, and ALL crime, black or white needs to be reported.

It's not that bad. You're ok unless you're a communist, homosexual, a woman, black, poor, not a Christian etc.

Again very good effort Brendan! A-. It was in fact:


"If the guy is obviously guilty, can we just skip the trial and send him straight to prison under early admission?"

TonyQuinn-i agree with you i won't expect a grown up set of replies the next time i post something, it does seem that there are far too many idiots on this forum though.

No suprise though as there are even more idiots in charge of the country.

2000AD was never in Latin and i started reading it in the early 80's its always been in English not suprising as we are in the UK.

Bring back capital punishment, stop the crazy political correctness that is ruining the country, bring discipline back to schools, punish parents that allow their kids to become criminals.

i wonder how many people share my views but keep it to themselves.

"There seems to have been an increase in crime in Dulwich lately.......... i think a lot of it is by youths passing through the area probably from Peckham and Camberwell.... it seems however that not everyone is reporting these to the police so the actual numbers are unknown."


There seems, I think, unknown.


A genius post on which to base an argument.


Good thread, 8/10.

Dr. Fox courtesy of Chris Morris: "There's no real evidence for it, but it's scientific fact"


Thread of the week, thoroughly enjoying it.


Top prize though goes to Panama's "I'm a 15 year old presenting at the Conservative party conference" schtick.

It's at times like these that I let my mind drift and ask what counsel might the late Cab Calloway have to offer on the matter in hand, in order to pour oil on troubled waters.*

And of course words of wisdom can be found in his canon. Hail Cab.


Panama, Shanama, Swanee shore,

Let me dig that jive some more;

Boy? Oh boy!

The jim-jam-jump with the jumpin' jive

Makes you get your kicks on the mellow side.

Hep! Hep!


Covered of course by Joe Jackson's Jumpin' Jive, and coincidentally Joe was a resident of the Dog Kennel Hill Estate.

Though even then I'm sure he never mugged anyone.

I remember a time when the only hoods you'd see round the place were the likes of the Richardsons and good old 'Mad' Frankie Fraser. Good to their old mums so they were.


*No doubt I'll have the PC brigade (or PISSY brigade as I've taken to satirically styling them) after me on enviromental grounds or somesuch.

Cab Calloway says "Hotchma Razz-Ma-Tazz, give or take about 34".

Not me TQ, not when it comes from places like Swansea, Colchester and White City.

And frankly the places that resemble the originals leave a great deal to be desired.


No, I'll take you up on the former suggestion and descend into the abbess. Well none of us is perfect, eh?

    • Ha ha that's hilarious - how wonderfully embarrassing for Reform!
    • Closing down completely. The lovely people there are all retiring. Thanks, but Deptford is a long way to go to make two journeys to  take and collect a car! Do they not do even relatively minor repairs if it fails its MOT first time? Then that would require four journeys 😭 Wondering if there's already a thread on here for garage recommendations? People on my road WhatsApp group have recommended some local ones. I'm particularly gutted because apart from the lovely people who worked there,  Dell was a five minute walk for me!
    • I did think that might be the reason, but five years out of seven it's going to be a weekday (I think. Not sure how leap years might affect things!)
    • Probably because the 5th was a weekday. We still have the weekend to come. Also, some fireworks going off nearly every night for the last few months. Last night something was being let off that made a very deep booming noise every 10 seconds or so. That said, if the general public are beginning to see the harm done by firework noise and choosing to use low noise options and refusing to support organised events that still use the full throttle type, I for one would be very happy. Does anyone know if the Herne Hill Velodrome Halloween fireworks event used low noise options?
