Perfectly normal at the BBC. If you 'identify' as a POC could you apply? Well you ' identify' as a bellend, vodger, but I'm not sure that entitles you to apply for the job of Big Ben's new bell

So we are getting somewhere now though aren't we. Labour weren't responsible for the global crash and the deficit they ran up until the crash was unextraordinary in historic terms. Austerity. The targeting of the weakest in society, was a political dogma entirely down to the Tory Party and it is the Tory Party who must answer for its devastating life destroying consequences. Where have I said they were repsonsible for the global crash? Their spending actions didn't help the country for the consequences of it, yes the debt was the highest ever recorded in peace time history, drastic measures had to be taken to get things back on track, you seem to look at one thing only, there is always a combination of factors that affect something like that. I was about to sub myself off for the evening but it looks as if I'll have to quickly rake yer ankles first, Northy owd sport You're shifting your argument around like mad here mate. If you must stick blindly to the Tory spin machine's line, at least get your facts right and your story straight. One minute it's the size of spending, the next it's the nature of spending, then it's this hogwash about the largest ever recorded debt. Put down The Express and read a bit more around the subject, fella

The current debt is the highest recorded outside of war influence. And that's after almost eight years of Tory rule and austerity. Well done, the Tories, well done. RW&B, You can't expect the wealthy, who have gotten wealthy off the backs of the low paid tax paying citizens of this country to pay a fair share of the burden of that wealth. They just won't stomach it, because the greedy little piggies have been indulged for so long now, they have no memory of responsibility. You can't buy integrity No, although you can bet your bottom dollar that the board's usual suspects will be out in force to defend their lords and masters. Must be great being rich and having your own dad's army of upper working/middle class lickspittle lapdogs like vodger, fyd et al to handle all the PR. So unquestioningly and with such tremendous ignorance From the trickle down myth to out-of-control unions, "there's no money left" notes, bloody students, on yer bike, Labour bankrupted the country and all the rest of the establishment bullshit - they hoover it all up like whales trawling for krill

Canada, of course it's Canada. Why on earth do you even care what happens in Canada, tdc? Isn't it up to Canadians to decide what happens there? You know, like it's up to us to decide Brexit and all that Unless of course Canadians talking about gays, trannies and undecideds in their parliament actually affects your and todger's quality of life in some way... Are you upset because you two are cohabiting and feeling left out?! (That'll need to be a good sturdy Internet connection to support you and all his accounts )

what was the answer then? you call people murderers, come out of your glass house and give a solution You honestly thing Austerity and the targetting of the weak and sick was the only answer to a worldwide recession? Christ these Tories have done a number on a lot of people haven't they. Just a few ideas Specialist Banks, Infrastructure spending, targetting some middle class benefits which the Tories didn't do as that would be targetting their own. Don't have an insane and unachievable target of 2015 to eliminate the deficit which targetted the poor to aid the rich. Robin Hood taxes. There's loads. I though the idea that vicious austerity targetted at the weakest in society was either desirable or even effective was debunked long ago? Commendable attempt momo. But trying to discuss economic theory with someone like northy is like asking a labrador to design you a pair of brogues. There's no shortage of enthusiasm, sure, but ultimately the poor sod will just end up licking his own balls because he hasn't the faintest idea what you're talking to him about

Here's hoping that Mugabe is put against a wall and shot. What? She looks like Samuel L. Jackson playing a tranny. That's a fuckin bloke. The latest in its long-running series of anti-racist posts entitled Post:Irony, here the collective uses just four words to powerfully convey the point that racism is ugly. Right down to its exponents Again utilising "carps", an angry, bitter old racist, the reader is struck by the simplicity and unambiguous nature of the statement - it's totally lacking in humility The logical response? To ask of carps (and therefore ourselves!): "Well, you're hardly a fucking oil painting, are you pal? " Fans of the collective's work ( aren't we all? ) will also note the overriding racial theme of carps' comments on women: namely, he really hates black women. Especially Diane Abbott We may view this as a comment on how the anti-intelligentsia in particular are viscerally opposed to black people more successful, more bright, more confident and, well, more happy than they. It's a fabulous post yet again, and represents just one speck of a purple patch that's increasingly coming to define this current body of the collective's work

But how does Topshop's changing room provision actually affect your life mate? Seriously, how? I don't get how a shop redefining its changing rooms inconveniences anyone who could use the changing room facilities before, and can still do so now.For what it's worth, I like to think that if I was a trannie, I wouldn't be that bothered about such detail. (I also like to think I'd be fucking stunning ) But Christ, if people think it's important and it doesn't adversely affect me to change stuff, then fuck it. I just couldn't care less. It's the slow drip drip of political correctness trying to dilute everything down to the lowest common denominator. The vocal minority exercising their right to freedom of expression which means others can't exercise theirs. Like this story. Just because your feelings are hurt doesn't make you right. Sorry, what's your beef with the documentary mate? Isn't it just a documentary about people's opinions on whether the character is racist? Who cares?! Just get on with life, surely. People can and will broadcast controversial opinions about any old shite - just look at the endless stream of Paul Joseph Watson videos that you and tdc post on here. Since when did you have to be right to make one of those? (Whatever 'right' means in this context, since it's all subjective). Anyway, they're not comparable stories. If they banned Apu, that's something that might adversely affect people's enjoyment of a cultural icon TV show. Altering the changing rooms in Topshop is something that doesn't affect anyone else in any way whatsoever - so why oppose it?

Feelings are core issues though aren't they. They're what makes us human. We can't ignore them because they make or break us. I honestly can't imagine what difference it makes to any of us on this board if a man in a different country feels he'd rather identify as being another nationality. It's not something I understand - in fact I think it's fairly bizarre - but, fuck me, it does me no harm so why on earth should I care?! If it's the "having it rammed down your throat" thing you object to, blame the media not the individuals. "Transracial" people probably make up less than 0.000001% of the world's population. But if you hang on the every word of clickbait circus freak show gibberish - like vodger and tdc do - you'll wind up imagining it's the end of days. It's really not. Just ignore it, and retain your excellent principle of treating everyone nicely This guy.... View AttachmentSends this tweet.... To Top Shop and their National changing room policy comes to light. You're correct that these activists are a very, very small percentage of the population but in this PC world their minority views dictate to the majority. Replies to the tweet explain how Arcadia had already changed their policy after a "barrage" of emails. A barage, or just another another example of bowing down to political correctness? But how does Topshop's changing room provision actually affect your life mate? Seriously, how? I don't get how a shop redefining its changing rooms inconveniences anyone who could use the changing room facilities before, and can still do so now.For what it's worth, I like to think that if I was a trannie, I wouldn't be that bothered about such detail.

Sorry mate, I'm slightly unclear as to what you're sick of The highlighted section above - isn't that all that anyone is asking for? There's certainly nothing I can see in the article to suggest that anyone is asking for anything more than that
So well done for your broad mindedness But what is it that's concerning you? Because it is the excessive “look at me I’m different” that is Massively purveyed in all this... the majority of reported cases where someone had taken offence due to another persons genuine mistake.. the way it is about feelings and such like that rather than tackiljng core issues!. Feelings are core issues though aren't they. They're what makes us human. We can't ignore them because they make or break us.

Exactly! He was an idiot, and yet his vote had the same weight as yours and mine. Such as him pay not the slightest heed to the BBC reporting what the US President said, but they'll set great store by some inflammatory bollocks they've read clicking on a link if it panders to their prejudices, no matter how easy it is to disprove. It's called commitment bias. Interestingly, there was an example of this on this very thread in the last few days. An ex-minister posts a tweet that he's "agreed" to roll over trade deals with 65 countries and this gets spun out as him travelling the world getting cast-iron guarantees. It's just a tweet, but celebrated as fact. Meanwhile, factual reports of the (prominent Brexit campaigning) Secretary of State stating before a parliamentary committee that no such agreements exist is waved away as EU-biased reporting. Commitment bias. Actually this thread is full of such examples. Both ways. I'm going to take this next bit on, even though I find debating with Brexiters a bit like debating with creationists.... Demonstrably not so. It's been around since we joined the EEC and there has been a continuous background "noise" of false rumour, anti-EU spinning and indeed down-right lies ever since. A major source of this invention was a certain Boris Johnson in his years as a reporter in Brussels. I was a marginal Euro-sceptic when the referendum was announced. I still dislike the opacity and paternalism of the bureaucracy and think it badly needs an overhaul. But when I started to look at the arguments on either side objectively I soon found that pretty much everything the leave side said was clearly false, misleading, based on wishful thinking or irrelevant. At worst it was delusional. I found many of the reasons I had for being against the EU didn't really stand up. On the other hand, the economic case for remaining seems to me to be overwhelming. And never really answered by the leavers - the response to economic arguments is just to say "project fear" and dismiss it with an airy wave. The leave argument is largely one of soundbites (project fear, take back control, make Britain great again) which people parrot without really thinking about what they actually mean. The EU is portrayed as "them" telling "us" what to do. It's seen in terms of a conflict, a battle of wills, rather than a vehicle to allow nations to find compromise, to co-operate for mutual benefit. There's no appreciation of the influence WE have had over THEM, or of the part we've played in modelling the EU as it is today. I know far more about the EU now than I did a couple of years ago. When the leave vote won the referendum it seemed like a big mistake. The more I find out, and the more our incompetent negotiators bumble about, the bigger that mistake looks. Your last paragraph...brilliant. Expect Rog and his alter egos to jam their collective fingers in their ears while shouting "blah blah blah" The alter right

Only reason I can think of that one person would be so obsessive about multi-accounts and the like (especially when he himself rocks as many as he does ) Who knows, maybe the bumming in the showers is projection too .... Projection being a common theme for most of the alt-right on this board, actually. Angry about safe spaces and snowflakes; yet they're terribly sensitive souls and want to turn this board into a safe space of their own. Angry about anti-white racism; yet they're frequently racist. Angry about Islamic intolerance of gay rights and civil liberties; yet many are of them intolerant of - well, you get the idea

New Labour MP for Kensington. She sounds lovely.... Racist bitch nice to see they have moved on from Jews. Holy smokes, what a zinger! The Post Truth collective subtly shift gears to take aim at - you guessed it - racism itself. Simply fabulous stuff, this, and sure to be an instant favourite with fans of all surrealist art, from Bunuel to Beefheart to Magritte Utilising their wicked sense of irony, the collective deploys the ever-dependable "carps" to make the point that literally any old idiot can call something racist. Even a massive racist! (What actually is racist? Well, that's seemingly another question for another day sadly ) The genius of this post is the knowing wink provided by the very identity of the messenger himself. Simply put, it's existentialism gone mad And it's sure to leave all fans suitably jaw-dropped and appetite-whetted for the next instalment Carps diem, dear reader, carps diem

My old man was born in 1933 and he will tell you a lot of the men around here would have loved to go to war but were in vital industries such as the Pits. I know my ex girlfriends mum was a land army girl she told me lots of her time during the war of how she did many jobs that were regarded as mens work. I have a Great Grandfather who is buried in Becoy and an Uncle who was at Dunkirk and D-Day another Uncle fought in Burma, the wife's Uncle died of TB while on active service and her Great Grandad died in Mesopotamia a country that doesn't even exist anymore. So it seems to me we should remember the hardship and suffering of everyone who lived during times of war as none of them had it easy and we should be very grateful to them all for making a peace that has lasted for so long. "One day President Roosevelt told me that he was asking publicly for suggestions about what the war should be called." "I said at once 'The Unnecessary War" Winston Churchill. I lost my grandfather in Tunisia in WWII to a Nazi stuka dive bomber, he did not have to volunteer to sign up at 40 years of age as he was a farmer with seven children to provide for, it sickens me when the left wing wankers on here label people Fascists and Nazis, they have no idea what they are taking about, it is they who are the modern day Fascists !, the pinko cowards would run a mile rather than lay down their lives for their country. Shove your white poppies up your pinko arseholes and respect people who fought and died so you can live in a democratic country. Wow. Wow wow wow wow. Just wow. In this latest post from the Shoreditch-based satirical collective Post Truth - the same team of acid-tongued online anarchists that brought us "mumf" and "stokeharry" - we are treated to what can only be described as a tour de force. A veritable classic of the oeuvre Untitled #563: Poppy Diatribe of a Racist is the new culmination of the Grim Up North series of posts. In it, we're taken to the dark heart of post-truth (and, for that matter, of Post Truth the collective ). The team have clearly been taking time away from the comfortable artisan bakeries and pop-up beard trimming salons of the East End because this is Stone Cold. It's Hard. It's Biting. In what can only be described as a masterclass of lyrical economy, the old warhorse "carps" is in full lament. He's angry. In fact he's fucking raging. But about what? What indeed. Well, this one really puts the "W" in "WTF", folks! In relatively few words, the collective manage to explore an almost unfeasible amount of ground What is democracy? How can you claim to stand for it whilst also being a monumental racist - right down to dictating the colour of poppy people should "choose" to wear? What is the logical apotheosis of the age-old " my dad is stronger than your dad" banter of the playground? When is left right and the right left? Who the fuck even are we? Why are we here? And is that piss on my shoes?! Only one thing is for certain: no one else posts with this level of rage. And for that, we should be both thankful and yet a bit disappointed. Because is it not passion that makes us more human ? In short, a top post. A modern classic. Thought provoking, hard hitting, big flavoured and full-bodied The collective can rest - for now - assured in its position. Which is to say, at the very forefront of online message board political and cultural satire. But their restless nature will no doubt get the better of them - ,sooner rather than later. And for that? Be thankful, brothers and sisters

(Like much of tdc's output). How about you? I think she’s entitled to her opinion, but then I also think what she is promoting (genocide) puts her views in the same bracket as those who support a return to ethnically homogeneous, monolithic states. I don’t for one second believe you’d describe someone expressing those latter view as “laughable”. Neither you nor any of your other alter-egos. Right okay, well in that case I don't for one second believe you're anti-genocide or pro-free speech then

Make some friends in the real world. If you follow that advice, you might thank me one day As I've already explained to you - umpteen times - I'm not Him and I don't want to go for a drink with you (nor do I have time to). The simple fact is that I've got a life away from this board mate. I'm sorry if that comes as a disappointment to you The truth sometimes hurts, fella - I get that.
