OT. The futures Bright, the Futures Brexit!!!

[Geoff Parkstone]

I miss him, he brings balance to the forum to counterbalance rA's overt liberalism

By the way what is the problem with describing people arriving in this country in rubber boats as rubber boaters? Unless that is they arrive in the back of lorries, or shipping containers.

Really? That’s what his recent reference to refugees as ‘rubber boaters’ suggests to you is it?
I think not, and tbh I’m just enjoying the break from the unremitting far right nonsense which makes up about 90% of his posts, so let’s not make a fuss...just enjoy it while it lasts.

Ah, we all have our ways rA, me with my BBC pro-minority bias obsession, you with the immoral govt, Swale and his 'idiots', I'm sure if you peel the rehetoric away from TTR there's a heart in there somewhere

At the risk of repeating myself. Really? Just enjoy the calm...while also ignoring GP’s attempt to pick up his big wooden spoon.

well off topic, I know, but what is it lately with all the errors in quoting stuff? Quote coding appearing above the "balloon". Correct name in the balloon but the wrong one in the coding. It seems to be more prevalent in this thread than in most. Is that just because more gets quoted as well as it getting the most posts.

Spot on. Needs sorting, eg...two above posts which look as if Andy and I have quoted and then disagreed with ourselves.

No I think that is Swale's speciality

Probably wetting his kecks over the thought of 20,000 Afghans coming over!

Well, well, well. Just when I thought you couldn't go any lower.
You manage to introduce a racism, sarcastic comment in there.
You really are pond life Swale.

For your information RA, I've had an operation and been rather distracted from the WOKE/Lefty crying that goes on in here.
I do apologise.

Did you survive the operation Tricky, or die under the knife only to come back here and haunt us?

[QUOTE=Andy_Faber;39848682]

Two years of reading TTR’s posts without resorting to the idiot blinkers you use suggests to me that he recognises the difference between those who genuinely require sanctuary and a bunch of crims and free loaders. Once he’s reconciled himself to Forest’s doom he will no doubt return and confirm or deny this

AF, just to clarify, away from the distortion of Swale and RA's tears.
1. I do not oppose immigration. I want it controlled/vetted/ and those required for the good of the nation- INVITED! That includes world wide, not biased like the EU.

2.I have no problem with this country sheltering refugees from anywhere in the world, if that is what they are.
Cameron started off the right way, by cherry picking from the Syrian camps.

3. I do not support, the thousands who see fit, to travel thousands of miles, spending thousands in money, to be illegally dropped where they choose. This is dangerous/ criminal/ and leaves many countries exposed to all sorts of undesirables, from pick pockets, to terrorists. At the moment, half the planet is seeing fit, to up sticks for a better life, under the cover of asylum.
It will end badly.

4. Like many people here, I have lost 2 good friends in Iraq/Afghanistan, for what now amounts to nothing.
Blair is very quiet at the moment, Biden needs to be quiet. Blood flows downhill.

I think I made it?
The hossie food was still rancid, so I'm assuming by taste, that even the after life wouldn't be that bad.

[Geoff Parkstone]

Maybe you are dead and have covid, thus no sense of taste twice over

[Geoff Parkstone]

oops, and support Forest so have no taste 3 times over

[Trickytreesreds]

****, you could be right.

I may go and haunt RA, playing his favourite quotes.

No apology needed, Tricky.

No idea at all how Swale’s comment was racist.

It’s amazing how selective you/we can be. GP’s first comment was tasteless, though darkly funny imo, Swale’s was amusing and infinitely less offensive than some of the things you’ve said on here...again imo. Yet you only find fault with the latter.

Anyway, hope the op was a success, that you feel better soon and that Forest break their duck tomorrow...no actually, scrub that last one!

Pretty much as I guessed, and the core of 1, 2 and 3 form the basis of what pretty much everyone I know thinks.

A former colleague of Mrs Fs and owner of a pretty big engineering works that employs a real ‘league of nations’ workforce, shared a phrase that he has used through his life and originates in his homeland Iraq which to me sums it up; ‘you are welcome in my house but don’t **** on my carpet’
