All that then "Best wishes"!!!! [emoji1787][emoji1787][emoji1787][emoji1787]

I don't agree. What would be disgusting would be to stifle their right to free speech and expression.
Freedom of speech does not mean freedom from the consequences of your speech.
Everybody is free to say what they want, when they want and where they want. If what they say gets them banned from somewhere, charged with something or kicked in the somethings then that is part of the price of freedom of speech. -
Not really. [emoji1787]You need to ask? [emoji12] -
I found that comment to be very suspicious, as I cannot imagine an Arab having blond hair and blue eyes. All the photographs online indicate that he didn't!
I will have to look into this further, because my understanding was it was the Arabs who were offered the smaller portion of land and, quite understandably, refused the partition deal. However, this has made me rethink my understanding of the conflict.
The problem is that there's so much propaganda it's difficult to know what to believe. I might actually buy a decent book on the subject.
You could always ask[mention=15031]antrin[/mention] as he's been around since before the Israelites kicked out the Amalekites. [emoji16]

Apparently, someone thinks that because the funding wasn't granted and, even if it was, it would have required SMFC approval for the plan to go ahead, that nothing of note has occurred. The fact that Kibble used the SMFC charity name in their proposal without consent and presented SMFC land to be used in their proposal without consent, seems to not matter a jot to someone.So , last year you say there was no plan put forward by Kibble , albeit at very early stage , to secure public funding for a project which used the name of other parties ( or party ) without their knowledge ?
So that did not happen at all - that’s what you’re saying ? Right ? [emoji848]
As I have previously said, it's about the trustworthiness of those involved. -
Which couldn't have been passed anyway without 100% Board approval. AW stirred up a hornets nest because he thinks he's relevant , when he clearly isn't ! IMO
The biggest point to me is, if they have done this once, how many other times have they done something similar, or how many times would they have done something similar if they had got away with this time.
It's not really about the scope of the "crime", it's about the trustworthiness of those involved.

The other folk ... and Cookie. [emoji16]So… Cookie Monster and myself are arses?
Or the people doing the political correctness?

That they are an arse.What does it tell you, then?
I attach no special value to generalised food product nomenclatures.
(apart from sometimes overdoing long, clumsy words…) -
Don't think it was ever officially "brae", though it was always referred to as such. Still is.Those two posts I pasted were really to point up “Brae”…. which is what I/we called it back in the day…
eta. And prob’ly “Murn”, too. [emoji4]

He can't spell calendar. Unless he was talking about the town, then he can't spell Callander.I don't get it! [emoji2957] -
It's not value-free, it tells you a lot about the person saying it.Of course, not! I was backing up your well-founded, perfectly well-intended description of a variety of food provision. I was echoing that I'd also been pulled up for something that seemed value-free, to me.

Dunno, but he looks as surprised as the sum. [emoji16]Last year it was John Rowbotham and Tam Cowan. Both hilarious.
Raised 9k for the two characters.
That sum was surprised tonight with main speaker Alan Tait, former European Tour golfer.
He followed the guy in this photo.
Any guesses who he is?

Earliest I knew it was 1864.
Well after my bedtime. [emoji848]The memories and errors/typos of others are irrelevant to my point. The street signs said "Mirin", bank and building society statements said "Mirin", bus routes said "Mirin", PDE always said "Mirin", etc.

It was called St Mirin Street back then.Apologies. I just about remember trams in Paisley, but never going down St Mirren St. -
Why emphasise their skin colour? You don't get inclusiveness and equality by saying "look at me, I'm different" (or "look at them, they're different").Given that there now seems to be a purge on the falsehoods and fantasy of some black history myths ( beachy head lady) it will hopefully lead to the real black history being promoted (see below). I find it difficult living in a post truth culture and hope that good old fashioned rationality and objectivity returns soon.

Ginger history month?Interesting point, however the question should be why we don’t have a Chinese history month or Indian history month. Both these minority ethnic groups have contributed to British history and culture. Why black history month?
5'2" brunette history month?
Shetland pony history month? -

I cannot help but think that identity politics is deliberately pushed in order to foster resentment and divide society. Whether it's 'positive' racial, gender* or LGBT discrimination, it seems to irritate a lot of people. I have had lots of relatives, friends and even colleagues who have bemoaned the over-representation of black people, in particular, in television adverts.
I am a 'conspiracy theorist' in that I do not think the world is run for the benefit of the majority of people; it never has been. Indeed, I would go so far as to say 'dark forces' control the planet (the likes of Bilderberg, Bohemian Grove, Skull & Bones and (the upper echelons) of Freemasonry are not benign drinking clubs, IMHO) and they have nefarious aims. I do not care if I sound crazy, but that is my opinion after many years of casual investigation. Think I'm being foolish? Machiavelli's The Prince was published in the 16th century!
*I know there's supposed to be a difference between sex and gender, btw.
The world has always been run for the benefit of "the few". Their way of control is to convince enough people that if they work hard enough/earn enough that they too can become one of "the few". Which would obviously make them "the many", not "the few" - and "the few" don't really want that.

As an aside. I see STV are celebrating black actors in British TV ATM. I wonder what sort of outcry there would be if they decide to celebrate only white actors.
I've never understood why any "group" that feels marginalised tries to get "equality" by singling themselves out. To me, the whole thing should be about inclusivity, avoiding labels, not pointing out differences.

Why has August not got a capital a at the beginning of it. Some could class that as discrimination. Where's TT when you need him.
More to the point, why is it only January that has a comma after it?

But he’d likely charge me for the privilege.
I know, that's not how you spell "pants".

He's not very good with the maths though. The minimum difference between standard and 1st class wouldn't be between the cheapest standard fare and the cheapest 1st class fare, it would be between the dearest standard and cheapest 1st class.This guy is more my pace (and he is a Buddie)
Just sayin', like.
