    So it's not illegal be an atheist, but it's not legal ?

    In the supposed leader of the democratic world, THAT is genuinely appalling ! (No punchline !)

    It's such a terrible waste of life and potential. Whatever those youngsters were involved in, they don't deserve to shot or stabbed, and left to die in the gutter. Terrible situation, that seems to worsen every day.

    I'll tell you a true story, Born. Every time I go into town, my day gets a bit stranger......... I took the car to be washed yesterday. Nice bunch of Romanian lads - work hard, job well done, fair price. A flashy low-slung Mercedes pulled in behind me, hippety-,hop blaring out. The Romanians obviously knew him, as they all exchanged fist bumps with him. Anyway, I'm standing off to one side, having a quick vape, and the fella comes over and stand next to me - big black fella, muscles in his spit. Just out of social nicety I said "Nice car pal."...........and when he started tal

    You should try being me, mate - I'm 55 ! Every single day, the world makes a little less sense to me !

    I'm not even clicking 'play'............that bollox gives me a migraine ! Just wanted to say that the army wouldn't have most of them - poor motivation and an even worse attitude !
  7. Blackbriar
    I completely agree, mate. The problem seems to be in getting THEM to see that !
  8. Blackbriar
    That was hilarious.............and the first ever actual apology !

    I wasn't making excuses, Stiff. I never excuse or condone violence, and I'm not about to start. I was pointing out how the situation looks from the other side of the fence.

    Why did you get a ticket for LEAVING a car park ? I thought you got them for staying...........

    I was being slightly jokey, but your reply has a good element of truth in it ! The younger generations (generally, not just black youth !) expect the world handed to them on a plate............there is a small section who, if they don't get it, will simply take it - by any means necessary !

    Ill try to answer that, but not before I say that I'm absolutely NOT defending violence and thuggery ! Young, black city-dwelling males believe (rightly or wrongly) that they have no prospects, no future. They are poorly engaged in the education system. Many of them don't even know their dads, and they live in very poor neighbourhoods, surrounded by people in the same situation - a pack mentality develops. They see the "have it all now" attitude that permeates the whole of society, but feel unable to achieve those heights, by legitimate means.......... ..............then,

    It's easy to see how young black lads get drawn into gang culture. I mean, what does the future hold for the young urbanite, who's no good at football ?

    That is truly extraordinary, Chris ! So, I could have an extraordinary political mind and offer policies that would solve all of society's problems - (a bit of a stretch, I know !) - but if I owned up to being an atheist, no-one would ever get to hear them ? Wow ! There must be a good number of public officials who ARE atheist, but daren't admit it, though ?

    Just as an aside, during Obama's first campaign, I remember a TV vox pop interview, where a woman said she wouldn't vote for him because, at the end of one of his speeches, "he didn't say God Bless America" ! I was dumbstruck !
  16. Blackbriar
    I'm meant as opposed to the "do the math" that you're probably more familiar with............never mind - if you have explain it............. As I alluded to earlier, minority interests, of all kinds, will probably find a more sympathetic ear with Labour............which is why it's full of all manner of weirdos, fringe lunatics and ne'er-do-wells !
  17. Blackbriar
    At least you said that in the plural !
  18. Blackbriar
    It's those atheists that look worrying - godless communist ba5tards..............oh, hang on !

    Not sure what my excuse is..........

    At the last general election, IPSOS estimated that 65% of all ethnic minorities voted Labour.

    The way I see it (and this is only my opinion, nothing more), Jews won't support a party that's too far to the left, after their experiences under Stalin. Equally, they won't support a party too far to the right.......for obvious reasons ! Labour is currently so far to the left, that it makes the relatively right wing Tories look reasonable ! Muslims support Labour, because it's seen as allowing minorites to exercise some influence..............maybe an undue influence ?
  23. Blackbriar
    Correct ! Around 65% of Jewish people voted Conservative at the last election..............more than 80% of Muslims voted Labour. (Information from brin.ac.uk)

    I'm a Basford lad, but I know Bulwell very well. The good lady was living there, when I first met her - she's originally from Dunstable but (weirdly) calls me 'duck', even though I never use the term ! When your wife asks you to fetch something, Tell her to "gerritersen" ! I've got a dictionary of Nottinghamshire dialect, if you want a borrow ?

    Don't be too dazzled, Foxy. Between you and me, he's only got O-level English..........
