  1. Why don't you just pause for a minute to compose your thoughts, before you set finger to keyboard? Rather than having to go back to do multiple Edits on every post. Anyway. " it’s weird to worry about what starmer is doing right in front of us and alluding to what comes next. " - you didn't answer the question ve. Again. Why are you so scared of Starmer, what's your worst fear for "what comes next"?
  2. I was interested to read that article earlier. Surprised that the Environmental Agency had made it on to this guy's comprehensive list.
  3. I just hate to see lots of innocent people getting hurt because of guilible muppets spreading hate filled disinformation and nonsense on social media. What's your motivation for doing it ve? "you might be surprised at the more sensible reasoned argument being put over in LI" - you're right! I'd be amazed if old Anthony Brennan could put together any kind of cohesive argument. He just wants to get 73000 lads, (football hooligans), out on the streets to get pissed up, mess around with flags and smash stuff up. He doesn't really explain why they're needed, why this is happening. Since your LI shows you all that good content ve, maybe you could explain the back story here? Because to most people it just looks like a load of racists have used an unrelated tragedy as an excuse to kick off, (sorry, "protest"). That sounds ominous. Why are you so scared of Starmer, what's your worst fear? It's all a bit weird.

  5. Thanks for the corroboration again ve. So you've now resorted to openly sharing thug recruitment videos. Ain't social media great eh? (Though the funny thing is that on the rare occasions that I go on to LinkedIn I don't see content like that. Why do you think that is?). I don't reckon that 73000 football thugs on the streets is going to help matters much anyway. As your first video clip very effectively illustrates ve, violence just begets violence. So Anthony Brennan. He seems like a proper throbber. He's a cariture of the classic old school football hooligan. His call to arms effort would be comical, except that we've already seen the awful consequences of similar posts. You really shouldn't be sharing toxic crap like that. You personally ve should know how easily influenced people fall for disinformation. Don't you think we've had enough of this violence and destruction now, or do you actually secretly wish for Elon Musk's prophesy to come true? I'm still not sure if you're for against our patriotic police btw.

  7. Level headed analysis like this ought to be disseminated more widely. It might, or might not, help to quel the flames of anger and hatred being raised by the racist and anti immigrant narrative swirling around on (anti)social media. Probably nowhere near as compelling as old Anthony Brennan though, for those who like to "do their own research". https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/czx66dkx3wlo
  8. Yep. The six children statement comes out every 10 posts or something. Always bemusing. Almost as if it's inconceivable that children can be conceived by anything other than a fully hetero man. Hell, even gay men, trans women and test tubes can make rug rats, crazy. 1 son here for the record.

  12. Very nice. I want one of them, and I don't even have any moles! One of the best things about going to France as a kid were the Pétards, and being able to buy them at any Tabac.

  14. Just console yourself with a lovely pair of Moleskin Breeches at the end of it all! Ummm, so soft.
  15. Well ve, you've personally experienced being sucked in and fooled by the lies and misinformation that was pumped out around the initial tragedy. The details of the attacker specifically. You lapped it up and got straight on here to broadcast it as soon as you could, certainly way too quickly for common decency. Just to further your own distasteful personal agenda and attempt to make some political capital. Since the actual truth has come out you've proceeded to fill 20 pages on here by arguing with everyone and anyone that dares to call you and your BS out. All the while seemingly justifying/defending the ensuing riots and barbaric behaviour. With nonsensical arguments about BLM/2 tier policing/Starmer/mass casualties/equal and fair policing without prejudice regardless of race, religion or political affiliation, blah blah blah. All to cover your initial mistake. Not your finest week ve. Anyway. To paraphrase: The perception “ be it real or not “ of unfair policing is behind a lot of the trouble we see right now. -- really? I think you're projecting again.

  17. Yep, there's plenty of them too. They just scuttled off quicker than I could get a photo, and quicker than the very wriggly worms. The filthy looking slugs obviously stand no chance of getting away.
  18. It would be ironic though, given the gact that the individual that indirectly precipitated all of this "protest" is second generation Rwandan.
  19. Brace yourself............. but it's German mate, German. A genuine Sauerkraut Crock Pot. (No nasty Lead in the glaze apparently). The built in air lock on the rim is great. I need to make another batch soon actually, as we've almost run out of stock.

  21. The Leeds thing, in the Harehills area, unrest rather than a full on riot, was an interesting one. It was Roma people kicking off, and Muslim people stepping in to diffuse things and clear up the mess. That's a tricky conundrum; do we classify Roma as Asian to fit the narrative here? (It wouldn't be that far fetched actually). ‘We got failed by the police’: how veterans of Leeds riots stepped in to defuse disorder | Leeds | The Guardian WWW.THEGUARDIAN.COM A group of Muslim men put themselves in danger to calm unrest in Harehills over children being taken into care
  22. The largest faith in Rwanda is Catholicism, but there have been significant changes in the nation's religious demographics since the genocide, with many conversions to evangelical Christianity, and, to a lesser degree, Islam.[286] According to the 2012 census, Catholic Christians represented 43.7% of the population, Protestants (excluding Seventh-day Adventists) 37.7%, Seventh-day Adventists 11.8%, and Muslims 2.0%; 0.2% claimed no religious beliefs and 1.3% did not state a religion.[287] Traditional religion, despite officially being followed by only 0.1% of the population, retains an influence. Many Rwandans view the Christian God as synonymous with the traditional Rwandan God Imana.[288]
  23. Bud, in terms of pure volume of work, anyone is an observer in comparison to you! 🤷‍♂️ If you're not arguing, then what have you been doing on here for the last 10, 20 pages or whatever it is now? If instead, you've just been saying the same thing over and over, what's the point? 🤷‍♂️ From what I've seen everyone is saying that riots or rioting should be policed equally and fairly without prejudice regardless of race, religion or political affiliation. The scum bags smashing and attacking everything and everyone should be locked up for a long long time. Actually no, hard manual labour would be a far more effective punishment. Our prison system is fcked anyway, certainly no room for the hundreds or maybe thousands that will hopefully be sentenced eventually. Though our legal system is also fcked so that won't happen any time soon unfortunately. Anyway, rather than pointing out one thing that won't fix the issue, what would help matters in your opinion ve? I think that it's got to be worth pushing back against the lies and misinformation that's being spread online surely. Some people fall for it far too easily, as you've personally experienced ve. All this propagation of hatred and division within society is helping no-one. "Othering" groups within society is at the start of a very ugly path.
  24. This is what I don't get Dave; you're all saying the same thing, that riots or rioting should be policed equally and fairly without prejudice regardless of race, religion or political affiliation. Everyone is in agreement, so what are you constantly arguing about? How do you, Dave, think we should calm the situation down right now, and hopefully resolve it ultimately? It's got to be worth pushing back against the lies and misinformation that's being spread online surely. All this propagation of hatred and division within society is helping no-one. Riots in the UK: online propagandists know how to work their audiences – this is what we are missing THECONVERSATION.COM Instead of focusing on the people sending out the propaganda, we should turn our attention to those who receive it.
  25. Nothing fancy this time, just stewed them up to be eaten in the winter with yoghurt or custard. These have been remarkablly maggot free. In all that lot that we stoned prior to bottling there was not one with any maggots in. A handful starting to go rotten/overripe/mouldy but that was it.
