Waiting to order a Christmas present until December is so pre-brexit, you need to get with the times.

And it turns out, the people who '"don't see colour", very much do see colour when it's an asian actor on doctor who. Who knew...

So to be clear. Brown person complains that too many writers in film are white, because it doesn't match the reality of our society. Racist. White person complains that too many actors in tv ads are brown, because it doesn't match the reality of our society. Not racist, just spitting facts.
-
All the usual suspects. How many times have you heard the likes of Morgan, vine etc complain about all the black and brown people in TV ads? I guarantee there are people on this forum who have complained that tv ads have too many non white faces in them, and there is no uproar, no cancelling, no complaints.

To be fair, White people say this shit all the time, it doesn't even make the news.

If he'd have said he was concerned to enter a room of senior writers and not see any brown/black people, noone would have thought it racist, given that the applicant pool for media graduate jobs is around 20 percent black or brown, it is weird to have under 10 percent in the room. Think he just didn't word it the right way round and offended some white dudes.

Yes, you could, assuming you are working in the uk (or eu).
-
You know the people saying it was racism are the people posting it here? The article is just presenting the facts.

They're very lucky. Imagine if they had had to start the season on -10pts, I think they'd probably be in much more trouble now. But this just puts them 2pts away from safety, don't see it being any issue for them.

Have we gone back in time 50 years? Being gay was a designated mental illness back then, with all the same talking points. Hopefully it won't be another 50 before we are enlightened on transgender issues. I don't know if it is because I work in a technical field, but my transgender colleagues are highly intelligent and well adjusted people who just happen to identify differently to their sex at birth. If anything, they are mentally stronger than many of my other colleagues, given the shit they have to put up with just going out and about. And as for non binary, that seems a much more common sense outlook than the neurotypical cis view - it's a bit mental to base your identity on artificial gender norms that have no basis in reality, I'm a man so I do DIY, watch football and like tractors. I'm a woman so I like dainty things and the colour pink. It's ludicrous really. Unless of course it is just about genitals. A lot of the time, it's just people being upset about other people's genitals...

Reform taking the racist vote, I think tories made a wrong decision prioritising a trans culture war. They can't even attack labour on economy any more after 13yrs of fucking it up and labour moving to the centre left on economic policy. Doomed.

As in aliens coming to punish disabled people? They've not even mentioned that on the BBC feed.

Naive question, but what's left wing about protesting against war? And what's right wing about football hooligans? Seems like she has some pretty negative opinions on the right wing, despite her position in a right wing government. Perhaps she should be replaced by a home sec who fits in more with conservative values? She seems obsessed with wokery and I don't get why inclusivity has become a left wing thing in recent years. I suspect the tories would have a better chance if they didn't keep attacking the centre, most of whom believe in live and let live.

Shout out to southampton data in this one... https://www.ft.com/content/fd35fe46-7438-400f-b792-8d33226dca0d

Central soton, we had half a dozen wheelie bins go over and people's recycling blowing all over the shop. Seems calm and damp now though.

The best thing that could happen is formation of the European super league. Let the super rich have their own playground, and then we could compete for champions of England in the domestic league.

this was during the alan ball period. I remember it well. EVERY game, we started off with a pass back to centre mid, and a hoof up the right hand wing where shipps/flash etc. would chase it. it NEVER came off, I used to swear at Alan Ball EVERY time, and could not believe they persevered with it. comes across in a different light now. i wonder how many times they tried it, and how much money they made...

can we add hasslebaink to the vote please?

why do people keep going on about 10 points? if pinnacle buy the club, they won't be buying SLH, just the club = the football club won't be able to come out of admin because as an entity they aren't in admin, so... it will be another 15 points = -25points thats 8 wins and a draw. just to get back to zero. looking at the fixtures, I'd be unsurprised with 16 wins and 5 draws. that would give us a total 53 points, -25 = 28 points = relegation. I wonder if we'd be better off skipping down to league 2 now and starting on zero points. that way, we can get promoted to league 1 and next year we'll be in a better position.

Saints couldn't afford Pearson - it all sounds very familiar..
pingpong replied to Mole's topic in The Saints
way i heard at the time was that HR thought smith was past it and wanted to get rid, and lowe did him a favour by doing HR's dirty work (in an attempt to build some bridges between Lowe and HR).
