Can you remember back a couple years ago when there was the Ebola outbreak. Half the members of this forum were claiming it was a government conspiracy to kill us off and that the end was nigh.

From what I have read this hasn't been done to appease the equality mob, it's allegedly been done because all the services are failing to meet recruitment targets and they believe that can be helped by appealing to people that would otherwise be put off by their worries of not coping or being marginalised. Of course continuing appealing to outgoing and confident young men with a predisposition to a bit of violence but paying them more to boost recruitment obviously wasn't considered an option... lol

Ban children, problem solved! f**k it, ban humans just to be sure.

Well if you were you'd be right. I loved the his music in battlestar myself.

I don't think so. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/True_Blood

No I'm probably not as hard, I'm apparently not as funny as it either. It was a joke fella, sarcasm from the person generally considered a stereotypical 'unhard' nerd amongst the members of this forum. Clearly my talents aren't in stand-up!

And the lass that plays their daughter, Bree. Just seen that Bear McCreary does the music. I seem to like a few things he has been the composer for. Battlestar Galactica particularly also TWD and Black Sails.

Great shout on Outlander FDR! Did all three seasons over xmas.

If you worked for a private corporation porn, gambling and streaming media would all be blocked on company computers. Is it unreasonable for the same to apply to government IT?

Patriotic as f**k though, I remember driving through bullwell on st George's day and there were crosses everywhere you looked.

Just down the M1 from Sheffield. Sounds like Bullwell.

LOL I have no retort.

That's my street name around these parts.

I was sat in Starbucks on Friday sitting out the rain with a coffee, brownie and shooting times in Nott's and I very nearly posted a picture on here to give you lot a rise! LOL
-
Well I quite like my local city of Nottingham. But I realise now that that is probably because I'm hard as f**k. You piss taking fuckers (Katchum and wilf) would do well to take heed. No laughing faces!
-
I remember a mate telling me about a family he knew who were from Belfast or some such dodgy place during the years of the troubles and they were really concerned about their daughter going to Nottingham uni because of what they had seen on the news!
-
I'm not at all familiar with all that shit, the clubbing and getting wasted scene is a turn off for me, so my opinion doesn't really count for much. The whole situation looked like it was out of control and so justified an escalation in force to get it back under control. I'm not sure what the fella should have done but I bet he gets charged with GBH.

You after character witnesses for your trial Tomo? LOL

Although my "educated" comment does of course apply to our representatives in Parliament, in fact it should be taken as granted that they are educated on political issues, it was aimed more at the electorate. The electorate must be educated on what they are voting for, protesting about and signing petitions about! Ultimately it is the electorate that controls the whole job! An educated electorate can end corrupt politicians, cleanse the bureaucracy, stop laws that threaten liberty, right injustice etc etc. An electorate that can't see further than a headline, who are only pushed into activism

I've had the discussion many times Chris, I completely understand that and touched on how I feel about it in a previous post. When democracy is driven by ignorance and emotion it's inherent virtue is lost..... but it is still democracy. As such I'm a big proponent of people removing themselves from the system and ballot when they do not feel equipped in knowledge and/or experience to have a meaningful opinion and so affect our politics in a positive way. But who decides that? We, the 'victims' of this ignorance and tyranny say so, but then we would, just like every loosing side. Fact of the ma

I'm not arguing for direct democracy, simply that 'we' can't argue for democracy by backing an institution that is very much removed from democracy. The Lords only exists to stop the common man from destroying the upper classes through their overwhelming democratic mass. Incidentally, I support a bicameral legislature, but not with an un-elected house. You keep saying it was unconstitutional but I'd insist you are wrong on that. If it indeed was the case, the Supreme Court (previously the Lords) would judge it so. Our constitution changed and the government of the time used that. Un-tradi

I'd most probably find myself part of a rebel force in such a situation.

You don't think that the majority of the electorate support a ban? I think it's very much representative. I also think it's a failing of democracy but still democratic. The uneducated and emotive will of the people may be democracy but it lacks its virtue. My point really is that we can't go on about democracy but choose to support the Lords (a fairly undemocratic house) when it suits us. The only constraints the commons should need is the electorate. Otherwise we might as well go back to absolute monarchy.

If the UK police had their way owning a firearm would be completely illegal.
