  1. Rightly so that you care about your offspring and their futures. I probably know a little bit more about how the education system works, in Scotland and beyond, but I'm happy to be corrected. Can you point out where my ignorance of the Scottish system shines through, and put me right, please? It's cheaper to train a doctor than it is to retain a good one. Clever scientists come up with good ideas. The last thing we should be doing is discouraging intelligence. We need more doctors in the NHS. I don't mind dodging a bit less tax to pay the bills.
  2. They could have gone to university in Scotland, where you live, where there are no fees. Plus, you can probably afford to cover their university fees until they start earning money. Unless you think it should be up to the state to provide degree level education to those who are suited to it? I have seen loads of doctors from all parts of the world, and their unifying factor is that they want to help you get better. NHS is in a bad way, more doctors get a thumbs up from me.

  4. You should quit while you're behind.
  5. I think you should give it a rest. You are making yourself look like an apologist for paedophillia. Take your mindset and stick it up your arse. Off you trot.
  6. Are you an apologist for a convicted nonce? Or are you unaware of his crimes? Jeffrey Epstein Charged In Manhattan Federal Court With Sex WWW.JUSTICE.GOV It's interesting that those on the right of the politcal spectrum, who want to protect women, don't seem to bat an eyelid when a foreign, sex pest, and known associate of Epstien flies over to hobnob with the royals.
  7. Genetic muckup, perhaps. I have no opinion on whether you send your sister Mother's day cards.
  8. Which of your twelve toes is your favourite? Does the chewed up crayon affect your window licking skills?
  9. Ha ha, reading your posts are almost as much fun as doing wordle in crayon. Less taxing on the grey-matter, but fun nonethless. I suspect you're into the incel culture. You don't have a lass, or lad, you live with your folks. Why not spread your shitwings, Gareth, and reach for the sky?
  10. Woman's rape in Oldbury was racially aggravated, say police WWW.BBC.CO.UK The two men involved are reported to have made a racist remark during the attack in Oldbury. Inhuman. Let us perhaps agree that sex pests are scum, and move on from the colour of the beasts skin.
  11. And yours comes from where, exactly? Melt.

  13. Respect is earned. Ricky Hatton spoke out about mental health issues and did what he could to help others. He wasn't some wind up merchant who made his money 'debating' college kids.
  14. Worrying.

  16. Fake news. Teeny Tommeh would never go balls-deep with a genocidal regime. When I look at Haty Kopkins, all I see is Bonnie Blue on ugly pills.
  17. Truth Against Hate: "Tommy Robinson: A Manufactured Rebel with Powerful Friends Tommy Robinson is sold as the streetwise voice of ordinary Britain, a man supposedly standing up against the establishment. Yet his rise was anything but grassroots. The English Defence League (EDL), which he co-founded in 2009, did not spring from working-class frustration alone. Evidence suggests it was shaped and steered by bigger interests, making Robinson less a rebel and more a manufactured figurehead. Nick Griffin, then leader of the British National Party (BNP), revealed in 2013 that his party had been approached back in 2007 by American neoconservatives with a lucrative offer. The deal was blunt. Drop antisemitism, stop attacking the banking system, and focus all energy on Muslims. Griffin claims he refused, and within two years Robinson’s EDL emerged pushing exactly that line. The implication is clear. When Griffin declined to redirect his politics, another vehicle was built that would . Academics such as David Miller have documented how pro-Israel interests were involved in shaping the EDL, ensuring its hostility targeted Muslims rather than Jews. Roberta Moore, an Israeli-Jewish extremist, even managed part of the EDL’s business through Companies House, before breaking away to form the UK wing of the Jewish Defence League. Far from being a working-class uprising, the EDL was retooled into a pro-Israel, anti-Muslim street movement that collapsed in 2014 but left Robinson with a ready-made platform. Today, the pattern continues. Robinson still plays the anti-Muslim card while cultivating the support of wealthy and influential figures abroad. Steve Bannon, Donald Trump’s former strategist, has openly promoted Robinson as a hero of “the movement.” Elon Musk has provided him with an uncritical platform on X, giving Robinson visibility he could never buy for himself. These are not ordinary allies. They are billionaires and power brokers, using Robinson to push their own battles in the culture war. The truth is stark. Robinson is not an anti-establishment warrior. He is a tool, fashioned by others, whose role is to redirect anger onto Muslims while keeping his powerful backers’ interests safe. His followers believe they are fighting the system, but in reality they are serving it. Robinson’s politics have not changed since the EDL. Only his sponsors have. And here is the uncomfortable truth for anyone still chanting “Free Tommy.” If Robinson were really a danger to the establishment, the billionaires and media bosses would have crushed him years ago. Instead, they hand him a megaphone. You are not part of a rebellion. You are being used as foot soldiers in someone else’s game, fighting battles for men who would never fight for you."
