The Naked Civil Servant, what a very good film it was, brilliant acting

Two great movies, although John Hurt was barely in 'Alien'.

Palace since 19 August 1972. Palace 1 (Tony Taylor) Liverpool 1 (Emlyn Hughes)

I don't agree that there were any 'homophobic' laws. I think that's part of what's been sold to people in how to think of that era...one I lived through. I even disagree with the term 'homophobic' being institutionally present in the UK since the seventies.

As for point two, isn't the point of the Police that they don't tolerate crime? (unless you're doing weed apparently). If you think it's a good idea to paint Police cars....which I don't, why wouldn't it be painted with messages against far more common crimes?....No, this is political messaging.

Sure, but as you say these activist groups regard them as all under their alphabet. So, in affect it's part of their tribe and it's their campaigning that leads to the laws being changed and these problems existing.....even though we know there are plenty who don't like the approach of this activism....but it isn't their take and voice being funded to the tune of millions. Children's lives are being destroyed in the US and the pressure is on here.

What 'anti homosexual legislation'. I view that term as political personally.

We obviously seriously disagree here......I call people what I want to call them. The fact that there are now laws against that is a direct abuse of my freedom.

If a company wants to sack you for saying something....ok, if that's their culture.....but that should be the extent of it. The US first amendment on speech is meant to protect all speech and that's how I think society should run.

I view speech censorship laws and culture as anti freedom and anti western.

It's certainly why comedy is sh1t today.

Well, all that puts you at odds with the alphabet ideologies.....which our Police are apparently strong supporters of

I do....In fact since sex education was introduced into schools....and I remember it because it started in the early 80s. All the claims that the advocates made for it didn't come true....in fact all the metrics worsened.

You can disagree all you like I suppose. But all the social outcome metrics are there....social liberalism has worsened stability and cohesion in every sense.

Really? So is this you saying you don't want a pension then? There are many many problems related to birth rates and it's a huge topic that I can't service properly here.

The metrics for homosexual males are more promiscuous, the point is that children are being told this is an equal lifestyle when the actual reality is that in future metrics like relationship averages/stability, number of partners and violence the metrics show the lifestyle has never been equal in social outcomes.

You seem to be blaming society for this, which seems to the default leftist response for this....even if that were true, which I strongly disagree with. It doesn't change the fact that children shouldn't be pointed towards outcomes as equal when they aren't.

As I say, in my view, it's misplaced empathy over common sense.

'Who are you and how did you get in here? I'm a locksmith. And, I'm a locksmith.' (Leslie Nielsen)

I used an American example, the grammar is correct.

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.

Certainly a few dicks in here so if only we did have a couple of emery's for an altenative view. My take is that of course this is political, but it's not even like it helps cut down on targetted crime anyway. It's a pointless gesture that achieves little (along the lines of Wilf's thoughts on taking the knee). As someone else said is this car driving around Birmingham? I doubt it.
