Virtually everything I post can be supported with facts. I'm just not going to waste my time linking stuff that is either common knowledge or that can be easily discovered online. Nice try Mazzy.

You don't deal in facts, only emotionalism and identity dogma. I struggle to know how to respond to this. You are so single-minded it is frightening, I really didn't believe people like you still exist. I am not sure what identity dogma means but how about we try a little exercise. Tell me what you admire about foreign countries and foreign people. If Britain is best in every department, as you always seem to indicate, I guess we have nothing to learn from others. Or is there one specific thing where you think 'oh, those Czechs make far more reliable cars than the Brits, good on them' or 'the supports for older people are so fantastic in Denmark, it's a shame we don't have them'. Or just maybe 'the influx of Poles with an excellent work ethic has certainly put a bomb under many of our lazier indigenous people'. Perhaps you can include that in your analysis of the dreaded social changes you hate so much.

Like to know your research. I was interested in changing social mores due to the effect of the nacent media in the late 1700s and 1800s, for example the Dudley & Stephens case in 1884. Nothing to do with ancient canabalism, criminal, ritual, etc, etc. Spent time in Borneo, mostly with indigenous peoples. I have lots of stories to tell, somehow they always flow better with a pint of Spitfire in my hand. The speed and extent of change there was more dramatic than any other country I have worked in. I knew people with nothing but a loin cloth and a blow pipe and others from the same family that were surgeons in Australia. During earlier times Rajah Brooke and his nephew had a big impact but later it was Belgian missionaries.

Your superiority complex and transparent dislike of Britishness is funny, as is your inability to realise that I wish you would stop responding to my posts.

I'm not sure one can draw any parallel between eating human flesh in a struggle to survive a specific incident and the unnecessary ritualistic or tribal consumption of human meat. I'm sure there have been examples of one group eating humans for sustenance but that is also beside the point. Where did I "Judge" them? Are you the muppet who turned up to the EDL rally in the BF beanie and was then told to f*** off?

Of course you don’t want anyone to ignore you. You are a media whore of the ultimate kidney. I not only like Britain, I also fiercely defend Croydon as other long standing HOLers will tell you. I could have settled elsewhere, I had opportunities in more than one country. So Britain is my choice, made with an open mind. I would like to see it improve and adapt though, not live in a time warp which seems to be what you crave. Edited by Mapletree (13 Feb 2018 10.43pm)

My opinions on the world are of little importance as are yours and what I post is just a bit of knockabout designed to pass time. You take all of this far far too seriously and you also seem to think that you can pass value judgements on others that you don't actually know like it matters.

nothing in your profile suggests you are female. what source do you ever use to justify being anything other than a BBS SocLib lefty marxist troll ? nothing you ever post ever suggests a passion for the team based at Selhurst ? why do you seem hell-bent on turning the discussion boards of the team i Love into a petty bickering squabble ? It would be better for all on here if you went back to your Moderator abuses, ...sorry i meant privileges on the BBS and went and bullied newcomers on there.

I 'fiercely defend' Britain and England specifically.....because....you know, Croydon is an English area firstly and British second. 'Time warp'? What 'time wrap'?.....standing up for England and Britain is a 'time wrap is it?

On a completely different point this thread is getting very bad tempered which is a shame as it seems that nothing much has changed since the recent exodus
