Brexit, for once some facts.
- Thread starter flecc
- Start date
Other unmentioned aspect of all this is the sheer hypocrisy.
Years ago I was disciplined for describing a young man as
"that pleasant tall coloured lad".
A few moths ago some policeman was disciplined (I think sacked?) for saying "you must like curries" to an Asian chap. We, ve all experienced or at least witnessed the language police... What you can and can't say, without causing offence... Yet those in charge (including Boris, Rayner and others) simply see themselves as above it all. Say what they like with no regard.
Some Tory mp a few weeks ago made some bad joke about sending a letter bomb, Boris makes all his ridiculous statements and Rayner has her outburst. What happens. Nothing. I know for a fact in my Education days I, d have been shown door immediately for uttering half this stuff... Then down line these same people are putting forward anti discrimination ideas... Height of hypocrisy from both sides.

Behaviourist.
Heightist.
Institutionally colour aware.
Ageist.
You were ok with "that", but the rest is unacceptable to some.

Latest wisdom from Priti Patel
""We've got to live with the virus, but ensure that all the protective measures are in place and that's absolutely virus"
As soon as I get a decrypt from the code room I'll comment on this
In the same interview
"Priti Patel told Marr that those with Covid are not as sick now as they were. That, with all respect to her, doesn’t offer much comfort to the 1,000 or so people who died from Covid last week "

A "Denise" is causing a "Dennis" I know problems... She's accused him of Coercive Control. His trial date in Crown Court is next year, and he sounded very nervous when he revealed this matter to me, during a phone call last week. "I can't do prison", he said. He was in a bit of a dark place. I don't know Dennis all that well, but I’ve done a lot of business for many years with his very wealthy father, who is gradually handing over control to his arrogant and cocky spoilt brat son. I've only heard Dennis's side - he's 25, met a woman online (now 37), a single mum with two children. He was clear to her that marriage was never going to be on the cards... she moved into his big glitzy house, after leaving her kids in her mum's care. Denise had her own key and used his cars. There were a lot of free holidays, he bought her gifts; jewellery, she lived for free at his home and all was junky dory for 5 years... then he wanted out, asked her to leave, she was extremely angry but eventually left, and he was arrested the next day. She says there was no violence, apart from a push (which he denies), but claims he kept her from her kids. He had no contact with her children, didn't have a key to her home, and never met her mum or all her other relatives who she has as witnesses, describing him as "Controlling". Denise's mum is an ex-policewoman and has somehow managed to get the DVLA to change the registered owner of his BMW (one of several), that he let Denise use, to her name. He never gave that or any other car to her, by word or other contract, and has the receipt for it's purchase. The reason why it's at Crown Court, is because his lawyer said he would have a better chance in front of a jury, rather than three magistrates. He couldn’t hurt a fly, in my estimation (I've been wrong before), but he's big bald tattooed guy, looks intimidating. Dennis is more of an obsessive gym bunny than a hardman. Quite immature too. Dennis is no thicko, he has a Chemistry degree. I had no idea what on earth to say, other than advise he lose weight and look as weak as possible for his trial, also grow hair. I also didn’t like the sound of his lawyer, who has done nothing about the car, or explained very much to his client, leaving him unclear about what is actually happening. Dennis was in dark despair. Simply being accused of crimes like this, is bad enough. He hasn't told his dad.

Do I have to get a licence to tell the truth from the post office?
In the spirit of the thing I'll compromise
The possibility exists that some conservative Mp's are Not scum
Which makes it even less understandable that to a man/woman they made an international agreement to sign a binding international deal in bad faith , got elected on the basis of this lie, while concealing from the voters they were intending to tear it up
Come on now give me a suitable collective term to describe 638 MP's that decided to do that and rubbish the countries reputation world wide.
In their case it is simply fair comment
What else do you call a criminal gang that lied to the public in that way?
The bungs from "The friends of Israel" may help tooJonathon..
Agreed, we can always justify the bad behaviour of those we support but see fault those we oppose. It's human nature.
Think we ought to rise above our base instincts and see faults and merits on all sides... Not doing is prejudiced.
Nobody is suggesting all Tories are perfect but like wise they aren't all scum either.
Angela Rayner slammed for 'trite sympathy' after repeatedly saying 'Tory scum'
After the fatal stabbing of a Tory MP, critics suggested her 'dehumanising' language could spur acts of violence against Conservatives.metro.co.uk
This really benefits the Labour cause??? I often think some Tory donor pays Labour to shoot itself in feet so often.
Any politicsl group that doesn't expel this idiot deserves to be called worse then scum Raab is now seeking to make ministers above the law
Scum is far too flattering, I shall have to come up with something more appropriate

I would find that liberating - licence to do whatever mad thing I wanted.
Did it turn up anything even more useful or interesting?
Humour... Taking situation into account both extradinary and acceptable.. But at Labour conference from deputy leader... Neither applicable.
Suspect this tale is one of our Urban myths.
I first heard this tale from an old chap in a pub 50 years ago... Read same story in a magazine claiming story to have come from Mountbatten himself.. I wonder how many seamen actually popped up next to Mountbatten... Must have been a few hundred..

From what I have read, the AB didn't know it was Mountbatten when he said that.

@DominicRaab is generating another false narrative; that ‘foreign judges’ in Strasbourg rule over us - they don’t. Parliament decided how influential ECHR judgments should be and in the Human Rights Act provided that they should be persuasive but not binding.
But what's another lie to the "Don't call us Scum" Conservatives?

You sure about that OG... Not being regognised as HRH would have been worse for his ego than being called scum..That's known as killing the punch line
Great story either way..
