I lived in Bilney and for quite a while was a regular at Highfield Rd when Cov were in Div 1. I was right in front of Ernie Hunt's famous donkey kick. They had quite a team back then. I had a mate who worked at the Jag and we went drinking in some pretty scary pubs in the city. Then I moved back closer to London with my job and was able to resume going to Selhurst regularly. Getting there from Cov was a nightmare in those days!

And there you have it lol.

Why snowflake? For asking people to back up their opinion? For wanting to share views? If I was a "snowflake", you would have scared me off already with your disrespectful antagonism yet here I am.

Yet here I am

We're not enemies, Hrolf, just people with different opinions.

Oh, stop it.

No,I won't have that. There's a bloke in Eastbourne.

So you claim that I'm an aggressive poster and then make an aggressive attack on my character?

OK.

Meanwhile, GBN is still broadcasting and picking up more and more viewers.

"Stupid questions"

"Playing the victim" Lol

Cheers Hrolf, my friend.

Actually its used to describe the biases of those who are woke.

The preconception that they and their like are correct and anyone that disagrees is wrong to the exclusion of all other opinions with no discussion permitted.

There is a lot of comment here about why being "woke" is a negative aspect of modern life.
In other threads, attacks are made on the so-called "cancel culture".
From time to time, there are outbursts of outrage at the "grooming-game" scandal and allegations of failures by the police and social services.
The way the BBC failed to spot/deal with Jimmy Savile's abusive behaviour is another frequent topic.

I make no comment on any of the above, and don't seek to open those discussions again here.

Right now I am watching the Channel 5 documentary "National Treasure, National Disgrace. This deals with Savile, Rolf Harris, Garry Glitter and Stuart Hall, the way they were regarded during their years of fame and the way their crimes were exposed by a changed society.

If you are too, I would be interested in knowing your reaction. If you aren't, I encourage you to.

My initial reaction is that this raises questions about how the attitudes about "woke" and "cancel culture" fit with the way our attitudes towards these paedophiles have changed over the decades.
