Election Year or Fear!

[Geoff Parkstone]

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 😀

There is a huge difference between identifying the specific targeting of female police officers by bullying thugs and suggesting that such officers should be treated differently, so I don’t think you’ve put anything ‘to bed’ there at all.

So you can square off ‘equally capable’ with (but) ‘should be treated differently’. Very strange and even more QED IMO

No, what I can ‘square off’ is the fact that the subject of Dal Babu’s comment was the cowardly bully boy thugs who deliberately target women who they perceive to be weaker. The subject of your comment, in comparison, was that he was trying to make a special case for women. He wasn’t.

The strength factor is true enough in sport where - in rugby, cricket, football, boxing, athletics, tennis etc - the best man will always, or invariably, beat the best woman. It isn’t the same in policing where levels of training, protective clothing and equipment all play a huge part.

Talking of election posts, theis was Rachel Reeves just before the election, praising a 1945 poster of a Labour pensioner.

Ooooooooops, pants of fire and it wasn't even Swale lying this time.

Love this poster from 1945. This time again, it's Labour who will stand up for pensioners, defending the triple lock & winter fuel payments.

Jess Phillips on the bias of reporting and the blind eye turned by the elite. Spot on.

You're turning into a regular Bobby Riggs before my very eyes....

How can anyone compare the BLM protests that happened here with the current riots?

They were mostly peaceful, certainly have no recollection of cities burning.

Because they’re made by the same mouth almighty ‘source’ that calls female police officers ‘pathetic’. He’s been banging on about the BLM campaign for ever and now he’s quoting ‘Spiked’.
I advise people to ask themselves…who would you trust more, Michael Holding or Tricky? No brainier for me.
