Before the left infiltrated our daily lives. Not having a go either - genuinely curious what's changed for you and why you think things are much worse? Words from a kindred spirit here in Spain nail it for me. "Sometimes I thank my lucky stars that I no longer reside in the UK. I am now fully aware that should I ever go back, I would probably be arrested and behind bars before I even got out of the airport. This week I had lunch with friends from London who were born and bred there. They told me that they have almost completely ceased to socialise, particularly with younger people, because they invariably say something out of place which causes 'offence'. However innocuous the subject, they said it is now almost impossible to just what you can freely voice and what you can't. One example was their innocent comment on one of the contestants on Britain's Got Talent - "Oh, I do hope that little blind girl wins, she was so talented" one friend remarked kindly. Big mistake! One of the party, hackles visibly rising, remarked crossly "Why do find it necessary to mention her infirmity in reference to her?" "Oh, errr, sorry, I meant to say the little girl with the long hair, wearing the red outfit with the white shoes that sang.." Give us a break FFS! He then goes on about the Invictus Games where overcoming disabllities are actually trumpeted as a cause for celebration and admiration and rightly so. The part which really grabbed my attention: I was interested in a recent YouGov poll which published figures regarding peoples conception of the percentage of minorities that reside in the UK. The findings were extraordinary. 1,800 people were randomly asked how many people in the UK were transgender. Roughly 5% of the population from the responses. True figure - 0.3%. When asked how many adults were white, 'roughly 65%'. It is actually 87%. Those questioned estimated that black Britons numbered roughly 20% of the population. Wrong, it is 3%. Gay and Lesbian number 1.3% and 1.8% respectively. The Common Sense Campaign deduced quite rightly that "this distorted impression by much of the media broadcasting and on line media who are so out of tune with the facts they are utterly befuddling the people as to the true make up and character of Britain'. Cheers Mr. Lee. I couldn't have said it better myself. Edited June 12, 2022 by bolty58 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wanderer1984 Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 2 hours ago, gonzo said: Christian Values and National identity? Nice bit of far right jargon there mate. They are currently trying to get bank holiday passed for servicemen who died fighting for the nazis, and that's just the tip of the iceberg. Do some research fella. Re political gain, check out whats happening in the Ukraine at the mintue on the back of a regime that's managed to brainwash its people into an ideology. You're judging the majority of one single country based on other countries actions. Yet nothing has happened in Hungary that suggests the rest of the world should be worried. As for national identity. What do you find far right about that? It's what makes us all and places we visit different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmjhb Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 Anyway, back to the footy Has it been mentioned one of the Italian centrebacks was Politic's teammate last season. Just signed for Juve, but never played top flight football before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, both a bit shit. Sterling has been for a while. Just occasionally, I'd like to see wide men employed on their correct sides, so natural width, and some crosses in earlier. Abraham got nothing to attack, bar one cross that Sterling should have finished off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
