Re: The Message of Hate Thread
Totally agree and that's the way I was raised. Treat everyone how you'd like to be treated. Kindness and basic manners cost nothing.

When you finally get some nice weather, open the patio doors, and every thick mother f***ing bluebottle fly comes straight inside.

Snap. My wife has got it far worse than me but it has still knocked me for six. Completely forgot it existed until my wife's colleague said to take a test..both took it and bingo. Still, means I don't have to go to London for work on Monday and Tuesday.

Missing out on London is always a plus in my eyes though

People asking for sponsorship to do things they enjoy doing. Jog on.

Oh yes. An email was sent to a mailing list with 1000s on at my work, title was about mindfulness. It was actually someone bragging they are off to Sweden to do an iron-manbodacious benny wrote: ↑Sun Aug 04, 2024 9:35 amPeople asking for sponsorship to do things they enjoy doing. Jog on.
I've been cynical about this since 2008 when ppl from uni wanted sponsorship to go to Africa to build a school. They could hardly build a Lego house

Exactly - some people asking for sponsorship for things might as well say “fund my hobby!”.
If fat bastard Dave from IT at work said he was going to turn his lift around and run a marathon then I’d happily sponsor him. When adrenaline junkie Denise wants sponsored to do a sky dive she can f*** off

These riots... jesus wept. I hope Starmer stands by his words and anyone caught participating get hammered for it.

You would hope so, but given the prisons are already overflowing I doubt it. Shame we can't give them a dose of 1970s style policing.

Re: The Message of Hate Thread
Quite horrendous how quickly the pitch fork and burning torch mentality spreads. Multitude of reasons of course, but what staggers me is how easily wanton vandalism and rioting starts and spreads amongst some folk!
Some of the scenes are absolutely mind blowing. Similarly the trigger for absolute stupidity, aggression and disrespect of many involved just makes you wonder about the capacity of some people.
As for the looters……...it would make you weep.

Well I think they'd rather clear out some people early than allow any rioters to get off.bodacious benny wrote: ↑Mon Aug 05, 2024 10:14 amYou would hope so, but given the prisons are already overflowing I doubt it. Shame we can't give them a dose of 1970s style policing.
Its even just 1970s style policing, we are soft on rioters compared to say France or Germany. I recall the 2012 riots when I was in Switzerland. The Europeans were like "where's the tear gas"

With these recent issues the far right turn up they start aggro-ing on police with the taunts and the I'm 'ard as ten men routine, then the younger more impressionable types will use that as the gateway to take it up a level, which in itself gives everyone else the gateway to take it further and further and the next minute they take their country back one sausage roll from Greggs at a time.
f***ing sausage rolls, coming over here filling OUR stomachs, it's not on, Enough is enough.
