only once was i put in a strange position, a big time coke dealer was also the boyfriend of someone who worked with my wife, ikept my word and didnt mention it to my wife
Indeed, a fine statement especially if everyone sees their faults , and it's acceptable to see the good in everyone no matter their view in life, especially in these times where people are protesting about dreadful injustices and views. It strikes me in these days of racism, antisemitism, homophobia, everyone could take a step back and reflect on what they say and do.Quote:

This board has become far more intolerant over the years in my view.
You may remember Alfie Sherwood who posted fairly regularly until a few years ago.
He and I had different views on many things and crossed swords several times but it was always very civilised even so.
These days people just seem to want to belittle others or hurl insult.
Not saying that there aren't decent posters on both side of the political spectrum ( and in the middle) but there seem to be less of them these days.
I might reflect on some of the things you have said.Quote:

People may acknowledge their faults to themselves and admit to making errors to themselves, but, if this board is any criterion, there aren't too many around who are prepared to put such feelings into the public domain.Quote:

It's got to the stage where these sort of cock ups by Cabinet ministers are so common place you almost ignore them.
almost..Quote:

It's so 'bred' into them that they don't even know that they're being dismissive or disparaging.Quote:

Coming from south wales i was shocked by their lack of empathy and understanding, there was no warmth in their demeanour, expression or character, it just wasn't there. That's what privilege breeds, a sub conscious contempt towards people who they feel are there to serve them.
The kindest and most caring people i've ever met are the ones with the least,Maybe i'm being a bit simplistic, but wouldn't this country be better served by those who are actually nurtured to care about others? This current government doesn't give a shit, and it's not completely their fault, maybe they're victims of a system that allows them to exist in their current form, that said, they do everything possible to preserve it.
It's a fair bet that this was not done accidentally. Cummings and his analytics crew will be polling social media for things that resonate with their base support and those recently won over. It's no surprise that we have been fed a constant drip of 10 years for statue wreckers, abolish DfID, protecting soldiers charged with crimes, MBGA by painting planes and now the ridiculing of taking the knee (or giving the knee as Maurice would call it)!Quote:
