    Losing My Religion got a reaction from Wendy Saintss in The Peoples Vote   
    Really?

    Racism is prejudicial treatment of a person or group on the basis of race and ethnicity. Mentioning the words isn’t racism. Ethnicity and culture are scientific fact - unless you think science is racist.

    Herein lies the problem. If we can’t even have a frank and open discussion without one person calling the other a effing idiot or a racist, our country will be driven apart even more than it is.

    Acknowledging our differences, discussing them, normalising them and hopefully one day celebrating them is how we nurture unity. Telling someone they are a racist, at the mention of a couple of boogie words, in an attempt to silence them will simply drive those people “underground” where they will find real racists who will be all too quick to accept them.

    I’ll say again what I’ve already said, shutting people down, telling them they are racists, making them feel like idiots caused Brexit, it caused Trump, it caused No. Keep on doing it if you want division and never-ending conflict. Open up your mind to the possibility that because someone wants to discuss political sensitive subjects they aren’t necessarily a racist or a bigot, and we may well begin to understand one another and heal our nation’s deep divides.

    Don't often discuss politics, I think it's designed to distract away from the real issue where the system we live under has been designed in such a way that uncapped wealth, greed and instability will eventually result in a super rich elite and an enslaved and impoverished lower class who provide for them... however, I'm not so sure that having another "peoples vote" following a yes or no referendum is good if you value democracy. It's a bit like saying - "you voted the wrong way, try again.." I do think Brexit will cause absolute havoc, but the vote has been cast so need to make the best of it.

    Just watching BT sport in the last few minutes, live from King Power Stadium, Leicester, and they’ve had to take the show off air as the Leicester City helicopter has apparently crashed in the car park, carrying the owners, family, friends...
     
    Horrendous stuff! Hope and pray everyone is ok, but it looked very serious and ominous.

    We need to use foresight. Surely cannabis will be legal at some point.
    So let's get set up and ready for the day it becomes legal, so everyone comes to SDA (or whatever it'll be called by then) to get stoned. We get in there first, business will boom.

    Losing My Religion reacted to Hoof Hearted in Lottery Millionaire Wiping Arses on Christmas Day   
    this moron won a million quid on the lottery but is still going to work on christmas day wiping arses.
    Is she too stupid to be allowed this money?
    How many people would go back to work after winning the lottery?
    How many people would still wipe arses after winning a million?
    Should people as thick as this be allowed so much money?

    Lottery millionaire to work at Slough care home on Christmas Day
    A care home worker who won £1 million on the lottery says she will still do her 12-hour Christmas Day shift.
    Patricia Aldridge, 55, a care assistant from Wexham, near Slough, won the money after the Lotto draw on 9 December.
    She was announced as a new millionaire on Tuesday, along with her husband Robert, 57, who described the winnings as "life-changing".
    Mrs Aldridge said: "You hear people say 'if I won a lot of money I'd give up work', but I love what I do."
    She discovered her new riches after checking an app on her phone.
    "I rang Robert, and I said 'how many zeros are there in a million? I think I've won a million pounds,' said Mrs Aldridge.
    'Same people'
    She will continue to work at the elderly people's care home in Slough despite her millionaire raffle win, where she will do her 08:00 GMT to 20:00 GMT shift on 25 December.
    Mr Aldridge, a site manager at a school, will also not be giving up work.
    He said: "We'll still be the same people. I'm not giving up work, I'll still go out with my friends, I'll still do my crib night.
    "It just makes us more secure knowing that we can help the children buy a house and that sort of thing."
