bwfcfan5 Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 PC liberal claptrap - what does that mean? Does it mean people want it to be socially acceptable to be racist and homophobic? Is that it?

Members bolty58 Posted March 27, 2019 Members Share Posted March 27, 2019 (edited) Much as I despise the political elite and their "we know better than you" attitude, this 'survey' (which is what it is) into options which may win the support of a majority of the self serving twats should have been done immediately after the referendum. Would have saved years of acrimony if they'd have arrived at a conclusion whilst the scent of the Leave victory was still in the air and the arseholes would have been more inclined towards giving the majority what they voted for. This will be Mays legacy. The failure to seek consensus in Parliament at the start of the process. We would have been out in two days time with everything sorted, agreed and prepared for had this been done.

Any consensus that parliament could have decided on 2 1/2 years ago would be back tracked now, they sanctioned a no deal as the default position they’ve no intention of using it. I’m waiting to see what bullshit indicative vote passes a majority in Parliament this should be comedy gold. My guess is a people’s vote will be the outcome.

Does it mean people want it to be socially acceptable to be racist and homophobic? Is that it? Because that isn’t happening anytime soon thankfully. An absence of liberal claptrap would be: * Living in a country where it doesn't require a journalist called Andrew Norfolk from The Times to bring to everyone's attention that Muslim gangs were raping and abusing under-age girls in places including Rotherham, Rochdale, Oxford, Telford and others. It went on for years because the police, social workers and others did nothing about it because their PC sensibilities wouldn't allow them to see what was in front of them. To their credit subsequent Serious Case Reviews acknowledged that there'd been a squeamishness about acknowledging the fact that there was a unpleasant trend involving Muslim men. The horse had bolted then though. * Living in a country where you don't have to keep repeating virtue-signalling words like "multi-cultural", "diversity" and "inclusive" just to prove you're tolerant and courteous to other people. * Living in a country where if you're a Roman Catholic like Jacob Rees Mogg and you have certain views on marriage, abortion etc - you're allowed to hold those view because 'tolerance' should apply to your views in just the same way as everybody else's even if they don't fit the liberal monoculture template. * Living in a country where it is possible to say that footballers can sometimes be lazy or have a poor attitude. And if one of those lazy footballers is not white you should still be able to give your opinion objectively without the BBC and Garth Crooks jumping all over you and saying you're racist when actually all you're doing is saying you think an individual footballer is lazy and has a poor attitude. I used to think George Oghani was guilty of being lackadaisical. I'd never accuse Chris Fairclough of that. They're both black - I'm not a racist for saying what I think, Garth and doing so is a million miles away from making monkey noises to Raheem Sterling, which is the epitome of racist. * Where you can actually objectively discuss the immigration policy of the day in any country without the ever present threat of someone (usually a haughty remainer) playing the race card so as to shut the debate down. People have brains and they're allowed to use them. The hope is that they can use them to resist the brainwashing PC liberal claptrap described above. And that they are allowed to do so without being lectured to by people who have no right to put themselves on any kind of pedestal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted March 27, 2019 Site Supporter Share Posted March 27, 2019 Just had three women MPs on breakfast. Perhaps hoping for a more conciliatory approach. Well it didn't happen. Just more evidence of the whole fuck up in the house. Entrenched views, and today's talks aren't likely to yield anything of note.

Site Supporter Spider Posted March 27, 2019 Site Supporter Share Posted March 27, 2019 (edited) Why do people get worked up about the £39 billion? If we pay it, I can't see it making any difference to my life If we keep it, I can't see it making any difference to my life. Just send it in bullion, we have £300billion worth, Cyclops gave more away Either way, if we keep it, I don't see my share being put in the bank anytime soon.
