  1. “We” were told to shut up? Who is “we?” There were plenty of people who weren’t shutting up. Did you read the reports? Given that you only focus on one thing I’m guessing not. They found that there were multiple reasons why these matters weren’t dealt with properly at the time. Still, it suits your purpose just to focus on “diversity” and it is pretty obvious why that is. It cuts both ways. Do you think that the Stephen Lawrence murder was handled well for example? Child sexual abuse is clearly an abhorrence. It shouldn’t really matter what colour skin or what religion the perpetrators have. You only seem to get agitated by those with brown skins or Muslims. You won’t be surprised to hear that sexual abuse of children in the Christian church goes back way before immigration became an issue and there are still reports of cover ups. Perhaps you should spend as much time getting wound up about those too?
  2. Remind me again how many people are in jail for grooming and raping young girls? When the flag shaggers were busy rioting and burning down hotels it was on the basis of false information circulating on the internet. There are countless instances of sex crimes being covered up by the Church but not a peep out of you and the flag shaggers. Tell me, why is that? Could it be because they are not foreigners by any chance?
  3. I didn’t say it was. I was just pointing out the hypocrisy. But then you know that.
  4. Various conspiracy theories doing the rounds. Apart from being murdered rather than suicide it has also been rumoured that he was sprung from jail and is now living in Tel Aviv. Apart from that it is now being rumoured that Ghislaine Maxwell has been replaced with a body double.
  5. So basically Trump is saying to the EU you have to stand on your own two feet, but you still have to buy our weapons. https://militarnyi.com/en/news/usa-warns-eu-consequences-rejecting-weapons/
  6. Will the Farage stormtroopers kick off over this? He doesn’t have brown skin and he isn’t Muslim so I’m thinking no. https://www.elystandard.co.uk/news/25874857.former-bishop-ely-arrested-suspicion-sexual-assault/
  7. Small Prophets on the BBC. Another gem from Mackenzie Crook and you can’t go wrong with Michael Palin in the cast. The same gentle humour as in The Detectorists. Only two episodes in but already a firm favourite in the SOG household.
  8. You said that they are just like them. You said that US law says they are the same. They are not. Federal agents are Federal agents. The police are the police. Federal agents are not the police. They are distinct entities. It really isn’t that difficult to understand the difference.
  9. “Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents are not the same as local police officers. They are federal law enforcement officials focussed specifically on immigration enforcement and removing foreign nationals from the U.S. While both can make arrests, ICE operates under federal authority whereas local police enforce state and city laws.” ”While ICE may work with local police on certain tasks, they are distinct entities with different training, jurisdictions and goals.” Distinct entities = not the same.
  10. Apparently Phillip was a serial shagger (along with Mountbatten) as was Margaret. Her first husband was too. There were also rumours that Queen Liz had a bit on the side. As we know Andrew and Fergie both played away. Charles was an adulterer too and was heard to lament that it wasn’t fair that he forbears were allowed mistresses but his affair with Camilla was frowned upon. There are rumours that William has a bit on the side too. More like a typical soap opera family I would say.
  11. We’ll chip in for your fare Ralph.
  12. Whilst it wasn’t a classic film as such, it came from a classic franchise. Carry on Columbus. The least funny Carry On film by a country mile.
  13. Hopefully you didn’t waste your money on a return ticket? Oh sorry, misread that as Dignitas. I’m really not fussed if we keep them or not, but they are certainly an anachronism and need to be slimmed down and modernised. The likes of Andrew and Fergie have done nothing but drag the image down (except to provide the country with even more Royal baggage with the two ugly sisters). The Windsors have long been one of the most dysfunctional families in the country. We could do them a favour by realising all of the hangers on back into normal lives and just keep two to do the head of state stuff. By the way Ralph, it’s the Oldies who would vote to keep them. Most of the youngsters don’t want them.
  14. There is a difference in making a poor point and making a poor joke. You don’t have a sense of humour. As Barry Humphries once said, “If you can’t laugh at yourself you might be missing the joke of the century.”
  15. They could still come and see all of that stuff without a Royal Family couldn’t they? Open up Royal Palaces as hotels and maybe we’d get more visitors? I once stayed in a pub which did b & b (the Royal Oak near Rye) and we were served breakfast by Sophie’s brother (Prince Edward’s wife). Imagine the pull for tourism if you could have them wait on you!
  16. And you have no sense of humour.
  17. I wasn’t bothered about going to Venice until we actually went there and loved it. I’d also endorse the vote for Florence. Nearer home Bruges and Amsterdam were enjoyable trips. Dublin for the craic and the Guinness.
  18. I love the idea that we would have less tourism without the Royal Family. I can just imagine people planning their next foreign trip based on the possibility of having tea with Charles and Camilla. As for voting to keep them, we voted to leave the EU and live to regret it. If we were to have a vote to keep them, why not have a vote every five years to elect a Royal Family?
  19. I still can’t get my head around it when they refer to her as the Queen.
  20. Former “spare” and well known sex pest, Andrew, has been arrested. Not before time.
  21. Careful Whitey. You are slipping into MLG mode there. 😉
  22. Says the man famous for his Nazi salute! https://www.express.co.uk/news/politics/2172741/elon-musk-nigel-farage-reform-uk-nazi-row/amp
  23. Tom Cruise. Apart from the whole Scientology thing, despite being short he has an ego the size of a planet. Jim Carrey. I don’t get the whole gurning thing. Just stop it. James Corden. Ok, not an actual film star, but he has made films. Has that air of the irritating kid at school that you just wanted to slap. Tom Hiddleston. Are you going to milk that dance routine forever?

    Yet Trump insists that Ukraine is dragging its heals over a peace deal.
