The main issue with the Orwellian Scottish gagging laws is that police resources will be diverted from tackling real crimes - not that they seem to pay attention to real crimes these days anyway. It is all just another part of the disastrous course being followed by the various expensive, incompetent, spendthrift and deluded assemblies that have the reins of government in the UK - cheered on by equally deluded left-wing crackpots.

No, it’s not to “control the population”! Like any law it’s aimed at a restricted number of people and in this case to restrain offensive behaviour. I won’t go down the “white” rabbit hole again, other that to say that as such a group cannot exist it could not be protected, even if it was considered necessary. Which it isn’t. Panorama the other night laid to rest the myth of immigration being the cause of crime. I suggest everyone watches it. Most immigrants, those working in the health and care sectors or studying, are much less likely to be involved in crime than the average Brit. You do make me laugh Wisbech. You are living proof that parallel dimensions really do exist.

Not to forget the free speech zealot right wing gammons who see their right as being able to say whatever they want without consequence yet moan constantly that other do exactly the same when they do not agree with what is being said

Isn't that just a tad racist? No one I know thinks it's a good idea to say whatever they like. I think that falls under the headings of diplomacy, good manners, discretion and courtesy. Perhaps you should look them up.

It's not common practice for a country to alter its national flag for a sporting event. National flags are symbolic representations of a country's identity and history, and altering them can be seen as disrespectful or confusing. Instead, countries usually showcase their national flag proudly as it is during sporting events to represent their identity and unity. That also includes LGBTQ community.

Not in the prejudices which are built by the myths circulated in the right wing press. That’s where a parallel universe has been created and it’s their readers who are living in it. This is a complicated subject with many sub sections of our population to consider, along with a variety of different types of crime. Some of which will rise and fall for a variety of reasons. Nevertheless the overall picture is clear. The widely held belief that crime is increasing due to higher immigration is untrue.
For the avoidance of doubt any comments in response to a previous post are directed to its ideas and not at any, or all, posters personally. |

Some on here like a good debate me included others simply don't (and that applies to all sides of any arguement.) Some simply wheel out the same old tropes time after time.

Some simply wheel out the same old tropes time after time. Well for starters. Gammon is not a race; it's a term often used in British political discourse to describe a certain demographic perceived as older, white, conservative-leaning men with reactionary views. It's more about political and social attitudes rather than race. Comparing it to "Islamist" is not entirely accurate, as Islamism refers to a political ideology rooted in Islamic principles.

No, it's very racist it only is used against white persons, and proof of a tiny mind at work who just parrots sounds they have heard elsewhere Edited by HKOwen (05 Apr 2024 12.58pm)
Responsibility Deficit Disorder is a medical condition. Symptoms include inability to be corrected when wrong, false sense of superiority, desire to share personal info no else cares about, general hubris. It's a medical issue rather than pure arrogance. |

And what about the corollary ? could a Gammon song call for the slaughter of the HipHops ? Edited by PalazioVecchio (05 Apr 2024 1.15pm)

Some simply wheel out the same old tropes time after time. Now you are being silly. Gammon refers to white skin with blood vessels showing. Using phrases like that is hardly debating. It's insulting. I'm very hard to insult, words don't bother me, but if you are going to make a point, then you will inevitably diminish it by using daft names.

Come off it NJ. It specifically refers to one demographic. It is typically used by people who fail to see the double standards that prevail regarding racism.
