      I don't get worked up over immigration, and I never read the Wail. You are right about the last bit though...
      His heart is in the right place - shame we can't say the same about his brain...

        I made a comment amount gammons. You decided for some reason I was calling you a gammon. I'm glad you've figured out I wasn't. And that probably you're not a gammon.

          I get annoyed that people get angry about trivial things rather than the important things that damage the lives of so many people. Essentially they only react to the things that they are told to by the media.

          Here's a good example: https://twitter.com/matthewstoller/s...31817881395200

            Here's a good example: Matt Stoller on Twitter: "1. Starting 2006 or so, I've become somewhat disillusioned with the Democratic Party. I'm going to explain why. It has to do with the relationship most Democrats have with corporate power, or really, power. Now first, to explain, I'm a liberal Democrat."

                Exactly. You see, I wasn't the least bit upset about the use of "pikey", it's just that it has become an
                unacceptable term with racist connotations, and so, as a moderator, I have to deal with that.

                What I find incredible is that people got upset about a little modsnip and it seems to them a bigger deal than some poor copper killed just doing his job. One of my kids wants to be a police officer. One of my friends did become a cop and her partner was shot dead four weeks after she began - took a bullet for a lowlife.

                  Not enough people showing enough outrage for you?

                  I refuse to get annoyed about anything on this forum, you chunts just aren't worth it.

                    Yet somehow it always provokes a reaction in you.

                      Virtue signalling again I see...
                      Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.
