You'd probably like one of my Granddaughters, she was reprimanded a few weeks ago and told to remove her fcuk Nigel Farage banner from the window of her uni accommodation. You said you do not use X, I can assure you its a cesspool of shit but for however shit it is, the press, police and BBC could not label Henry Nowak a racist which they wanted to do so, the incident in Belfast was in the public domain before the narrative could be framed, we robbed shops like fcuk when we were young, but however how much we robbed them, meat, chocolate etc. wasn't locked up to prevent it, shopkeepers were empowered to do something about it, shop assistants are being told to ignore it and do not challenge anyone, them days were not great they were hard and tough for many, luckily for Mozz he didn't have to wear hand me downs as he went to a different school and the uniform was different!! Nothing or no one will ever convince me a young girl going into town on the weekend for a night on the piss had similar probability of harassment in the 60's, 70's, 80's as they do in the current decade. Not even the Guardian or BBC stats so we'll have to disagree on this one.
