This title is total bollocks.

As for the opinion if the author, I can understand their frustration, but calling for bans and mandates for political opinions, however abhorrent they may be does not work.

It started with a horrifying knife attack where the perpetrator stabbed 11 children and killing 3 of them. 2 adults were also stabbed. This attack horrified the nation.

News stories alleged that the perpetrator was an Islamic illegal immigrant, social media did what it does best: whipping up emotions and exaggeration and feeding it to people with poorer standard of education.

The background here is that there are concerns surrounding illegal immigration in the UK, as it is sold by criminal gangs as a country of neverending riches. Some opinions are justified, and some are not.

As you can imagine,far right organisation jumped on this as an excuse to encourage shitty behaviour, and the worst of them used it as an excuse to have a tantrum and damage peopkes properly, attack people of different ethnicities and get themselves locked up for it.

TL:DR : Horrible racist and bigoted individuals made a tragedy about them, and now we all have to deal with their shittiness.

I remember peeling this off the 'Off The Wall' calender 30 odd years ago.

This fucking rhyme has been worming around my head since, and will probably be my dying thought.

That is not what she is saying.

She is equivocting a medical term with a racist term, and by extension implying obese people as oppressed victims.

She is objectively wrong.

Thank you for your perspective.

I had presumed it had more to do with us selling them weapons than anything so petty.

But the whole thing is moot, as you say. Just more empty posturing so we can pretend to be doing something.

Oh goddammit no.

Fuck's sake.

Why did we challenge it in the first place?

Fuck I hate the tories.

Yes.

This is his wife, Priscilla. They met when she was 14 and her was 24. He had to get the parents permission to date her with a chaperone.

I appreciate different times and so on, but yuck.

Edit: Spelling of ~~Prescilla~~ Priscilla

He is going to spend the rest of his life cringing over that moment of foolish arrogance.

What has this got to do with my comment?

Because they are attention seeking idiots.

As much as I understand their motivation, they repeatedly do stuff that cause problems for every day people.

Go find the people who run oil companies, the lobbyists that enable them and the politicians that take their bribes and do it to them, and I am all in.

 

Hi folks; Looking for some guidance here.

As the title suggests, I'm a long-term user of rarbg and was wondering if anyone had an alternative to something similar since the shutdown.

By similar I mean:

  • with picture pop-ups when you hover over the link with the arrow.

  • all the crap quality screeners and cams curated.
