Are you a Stoky or a Vale flavour ??er?

 

Can you imagine the response if some bird decided that “Delilah” should be removed from every karaoke machine and banned from being sung by the Stokies because it glorifies domestic violence?
 

It’s beyond bloody pathetic. 

Stoke through n through, you can take the lad out of Stoke, but you can't take Stoke out of the lad. It is pathetic but if you try to push people to far the other way they will kick back. Which as been proved recently.

And this,  possibly a turning point  ( as there is far too many signatories to rubbish ...) 

European MPs in mass letter over Israel annexation

WWW.BBC.CO.UK

---

Signed by more than 1,000 parliamentarians, it calls for Israel to face "commensurate consequences".

Had a quick read... typically BBC, typical EU.

I like the way it said that annexation would prove fatal for prospects of peace...

What prospects for peace? Israel destroyed and every Israeli driven into the sea... oh yes, those prospects for peace..

[Khriss]

@TIMON well you don't have prospects if you say NO to everything. Representation and proportional go a long way. Obvs it's a position to say ' we don't need peace with THAT sort ' just as long as you don't mind yr grandchildren fighting wars you started. K

All of that which you seem to have got your panties in a twist about ALREADY has its place in the legal framework.

"Everyone's too sensitive these days" is literally code for 'I wish I could be racist, homophobic, ableist, sexist etc without getting called out for it.' 

Look at you with an almost verbatim quote from the Antifa handbook:

 

• "The only long-term solution to the fascist menace is to undermine its pillars of strength in society grounded not only in white supremacy but also in ableism, heteronormativity, patriarchy, nationalism, transphobia, class rule, and many others." — Mark Bray, "Antifa: The Anti-Fascist Handbook," 2017.

..... sounds good to me, had those Ableisms live next door fr a while , ****************kin nightmare. K

I’m not so sure it’s a single, fixed point

Probably isn't but do make your mind up, we either top all the people without callused hands (aka not those with "the perpetual faint whiff of penetrating  oil and diesel") or try and make something of the system we have got

Looks like I missed something in my message so you got yourself a bit confused, I'll give you an example to help you understand.

 

Racism was once acceptable in general but some people including the victims and others objected to it, but many, including those in power didn't "give a toss" about the thoughts, feelings or sensitivities of the victims or the others that felt it was wrong. Over time petitions, demonstrations, reports etc raised awareness and increased the support for victims of racism and made that behaviour generally unacceptable and eventually laws were made protecting people from that behaviour.  If it wasn't for the ongoing persistence of these "sensitive" types those practices would still be widely acceptable and the victims would be suffering from much greater levels of blatant racism in society. 

This applies to sexism, homophobia, disability discrimination etc and unfortunately none of them have gone away, they're just less blatant than they were in the past.

Is being old or from a certain demographic an acceptable excuse for being racist or sexist or homophobic?
