O/T Well it looks like White Lives don't matter.

Exactly the answer I was expecting from yourself .

So who was it that made it possible to actually pull yourself up and challenge the feudal position then ?

See many statues commending that ?

As I say you celebrate the history that was selected for you by your betters ..... fact .

I have no betters animal fact. I'm under no illusion bout our history good or bad. You are talking bout the past, get into the present day. Take off your miners helmet and pit boots and get over it. Two many sit on their arse instead of making something of themselves. I saw plenty of that through 30 years working in social housing.

Google away animal. 😊

People who wallow in self-pity usually go around in a bad mood, feeling sorry for themselves, with a feeling they've been wronged somehow.

They failed because of someone or something else. They don't own up to their own faults.

It’s all someone else’s fault

‘History HAS BEEN selected by your betters ...fact.’

Maybe having that mindset is your problem.

Your kids and the kids of a few people on here haven’t got a chance.

Animal do you still doff your cap when the gentry ride past.

You couldn't actually be more wrong about myself but It doesn't bother me what you think in all honesty , I'm all for people pulling themselves up by their boot straps but I also recognise that social justice has an equal part to play in that .

I wasn't actually trying to trash anyone's view just simply offering a different slant on it but if you want to double down on your opinion as a consequence of reading my thoughts then so be it .

So I say again where are the statues to the fighters for social justice ?

Absolutely not I think my posts confirm that so you are clearly not looking at what I've written closely enough .

I'm sick to death of animal, WanChai, roly, mike and the rest of the left wing loonies. On another thread animal whinged about the Peterloo Massacre. It was bad, recognised as bad but let's compare it to instances where the great working class mob have ruled the roost. Forget the Terror during the French Revolution but look, say, at the Vendee in 1793. 50,000 peasants butchered by the revolutionary army AFTER the surrender. As people who know me know, my wife is from Dar es Salaam. She loves England, loves the English, thinks our police are the best in the world. We are setting up a website called Police R 4 Us. These outrageous attacks on the police under the guise of BLM are completely unacceptable. If some guy with a knife was crawling through roly's window I doubt he'd phone BLM or Rebecca Tom Daley. He'd be on to the Old Bill and sadly disappointed when he was told all available officers are out policing BLM riots.
By the way, my wife's motto is this: "If you don't like the menu you don't have to eat in the restaurant."

Well I live in King County, WA which was originally named after a US Vice President and slave trader W.R. King but was 'renamed' after Martin Luther King in 1986 and carries his image on all official signage etc. Plenty of statues around.

Come on you used to be one of us left wing loonies Monty.

Think back to the good old days when you were speaking at Miners rallys think how good it was fighting FOR the poor and oppressed. Tha wa probably feighting bobbies then as well such was your dedication to the cause. (What did you call them in those heady days? Pigs? Scum?) Now your fighting AGAINST the poor and oppressed?

I stand to be corrected but didn't you say were you were a full paid up member of the SWP. You flippin commie! Even I've never been a member of the SWP. (Come to think of it I aint been a member of any political party). I'm pretty sure Animal, pup and Wanchai have never been members of any party like that.

Don't let the Tories on here know about your previous allegiance . Tha'll lose some credibility owd lad.
