Election Year or Fear!

[Geoff Parkstone]

I see Reform now have a multi millionaire Muslim as Chair, that will scramble the heads of a few Gammons!

Interestingly I was talking with a 75 year old Indian lady, lifelong labour voter, who switched to voting Reform at last election. No confidence in Starmer to be anything other than a wet Tory (her words). Interesting although unlikely to be trend setting: immigrants wanting to keep other immigrants out. Protecting their patch.. .

The only women Thicky approves of are those grateful for his attention, hence his inability to find one in the UK!

If that's the best you've got, I declare TTR as gold medal winner on a TKO. Baseless personal insults don't win debates. But I expect it was a joke, eh?

As an Indian she’s probably a Hindu so has common cause with the Gammons, yobbos, far-righters, old folk and Caucasians who the current administration seem to be promptly dumping now they’ve served their purpose

Indeed grandmaster tunnel vision has returned. What part of the spectrum are you on rA that requires such slavish devotion to a topic. Conversation and debate should be free flowing rather than being kettled into a restricted area.

Fair enough…coming from two people who are obsessive about things being marked O/T that’s a tad odd.
Wasn’t aimed at GP, or anyone else, in the slightest, I’m just not sure what talking about gender issues at the Olympics and TTR’s prison ‘experience’ has to do with either election but hey…who cares if a forum is vaguely organised or otherwise. Not the moderator it would appear.

I've never noticed that I obsessed about OT delineation, but hey, if you say so 😀

Blimey I know your getting on a bit, but even for you this is out of touch! Have you not observed Sunak, Badenoch, Patel and Braverman spouting their anti immigrant rhetoric? Coincidentally all children of immigrants?

Do they believe what they say, or is it just a convenient way of furthering their personal ambitions? But it has ever been a human tendency to deny those following behind the advantages and opportunities they had.

I thought I’d made quite a good job today, got some footy threads up, tidied up the stickies etc. Ah well…

You can't debate with a sick mind and Thicky's mind is clearly warped and sick. There comes a point when someone just spouts obvious lies, falsehoods and claims as true matters, which a little research shows are clearly not when you realise they are clearly so stupid it snot worth the bother.

As for the jibe, mm somebody whose attitude to women is clearly very much in the dark ages and has ventured abroad to find someone, Thicky fits the bill of the sad older blokes I see with a mail order bride in tow happy to put up with an objectionable bloke on the basis of a better life.

And anyway I don't actually give a flying **** about your opinion.

So to put the female police officer thing to bed once and for all, senior police wallah Dal Babu, as part of his general condemnation of the Yobbos, identified one of their more heinous acts as ‘targeting female police officers’…

So even he, a senior lawman, believes the genders should be treated/considered differently

QED

Surely, you're not suggesting conversations could go, willy nilly, from one thing to another just like they used to, for instance, in the pub?
