I only use Facebook for pages relating to my hobbies. I’m a member of a few hunting and shooting-related pages, and to be fair the moderators do quite a good job of removing volatile posts, and turning-away questionable members. There are some truly idiotic posts, but the community is quick to point this out, and or remove the said post. I have seen a few situations where anti groups (such as the hunt saboteurs) have screenshotted other people’s hunting-related photos, and put them onto their own pages for everybody to take the p*** out of. Amongst general comments of “inbred” and “scum”

Cultures are like colours. Each culture has it's own bright, vibrant colour. Mix too many colours together, and you get a murky brown that pleases nobody. That's multiculturalism. The liberal-left love to preach how this is the correct way to be. They love to be seen accepting and tolerating other cultures, like the do-gooders they try to be. Virtue-signalling at it's finest, feeding their egos. Blissfully unaware of the murky, tastless culture soup they're turning the UK and Western Europe into. More like a gruel. Unfortunately these folk tend to dominate our public sector, and will sto

In my opinion self-diagnosis websites are a terrible influence. They blow everything completely out of proportion. Put in the symptoms of a cough and cold, and combined with confirmation bias people think they've got Ebola. I think they call it "Cyberchondria" Then the idiots go rushing to the doctors or A&E, "just to be safe". Especially when kids are involved. I know a lot of doctors and nurses, and you literally couldn't make some of those stories up. A paramedic told me that a lot of people check their kids' symptoms online, and then call the ambulance saying they've got

An ex-girlfriend of mine at Uni did a particular "photo shoot". She said it was a shoot, but wouldn't tell me what kind of shoot. We'd just met each other at the time, but I read between the lines and through deduction worked-out it was something she didn't want me to know about. Something saucy. When I eventually found it what it was, saucy was a massive understatement. You're talking whips, chains, latex, gags, all sorts of deviance. It was like the cellar scene from Pulp Fiction. Only with women. She got £800 for a morning of dressing in latex and a few "fake" lesbian scenes. At least I thi

The Poles who come to the UK tend to be the unskilled and uneducated. The lack of English language and the different culture means Poles tend to stick together in the UK. They work in unskilled jobs where there are lots of Poles, and very little English is needed, and shop in Polish shops, ran by Poles. It's no wonder they have very poor english. It's the same with most immigrants. Poland is a very traditional country. Poles tend to be very proud of their culture, and haven't succumbed to political correctness and fear of offending someone, like the West has. The communist regime they su

Bang right Ant, that’s what I’ve done. I bought a temperature controller from eBay (£20) from China, and with a few quid of electrical supplies from Screwfix and PoundStretcher, made a module. You pretty much plug a fridge into one end, and a belt heater into the other. You put your fermenter into the fridge, the heating belt around the fermenter, drop the temperature probe into the wort, and set the controller to 20 degrees. It’s just a closed-loop system, like air conditioning. You set your temperature, when the probe feels it getting half a degree too cold, the controller turns-on the h

The Woodforde’s kits are brilliant, especially the Wherry. If done right, it’s better than any pint I’ve had in a pub. Tasty and goes down like you’re not even drinking it. I’ve made dozens of these, and they just keep getting better and better. You don’t need to add any sugar to Woodforde’s kits, only 40g or so when you put it into a barrel. They taste exceptional. The Cooper’s kits can be good, but make sure to use spraymalt or dextrose instead of sugar. I’m not a fan of using supermarket sugar, my first few kits were terrible this way. Brewferm kits are bang-on, but ideally these

Decent programme I thought, I liked how Phillips put his own beliefs aside and just argued that people should be able to express an opinion without fear of getting slated, whatever it may be. He made a point that liberals tend to believe in free speech and tolerance, but when faced with something they don't agree with, they just shut the debate down with the "racist", "sexist" or "bigot" labels. Those students need to take a long, hard look at themselves and what they have become. Protecting imaginary people from being offended by banning imaginary things. Probably so they can lay in bed

Yes yes yes! I totally agree, but the problem is that there are still so many liberal lefties, not just in the UK. I don't know what percentage they are in each country but I do know there is enough here to make a huge mess of the economy and society in general and from what I can gather it is worse in the UK and a lot of Europe. America is bad too but Trump may just turn things for the better. I also cannot describe the disgust I feel towards the pc liberal lefties and the troubles they cause to my way of life. Most liberals are women, not because women are in any way stupid or bad but

An old man and his son are in a pub having a pint, when a man walks into the pub, buys a beer, and stands beside them. The man says; "I am lorry driver, from Germany, my load is just being taken across the road, so I come for a beer! You English far too slow, in fact you useless, in Germany it takes 20 minutes to unload, you English take one hour, far too slow, much quicker in Germany!" The old man takes a swig of his pint, licks his lips, and says; "Well, the last time I was in Germany, we unloaded in 15 seconds!" The German quickly responds; "And vot in himmel were you driving?"

"Hate Crime" is just a buzzword, in the last week being heavily utilised by the liberal-left, pro-EU brigade. You know what they're like, they're all in favour of free speech, unless it's against what they stand for, then you're a racist, homophobe, bigot, sexist, or instigator of "hate crimes". The tarring of anyone who voted leave as racist is just pathetic, and in my opinion, the remain brigade have dealt with their defeat in a very disgraceful way. They really are very good at whinging, moaning, using labels to humiliate their enemies, and starting pointless petitions. They lost, fair

I worked in some way since I was 12, even if it was scoring for the cricket team for £7. It bought me an Airfix model! My mum got me a part-time job in a garage when I was at sixth-form, and I drove lorries for a well-known haulage company at weekends when I was at uni. I think my mum saw me grafting for it, so she used to give me quite a bit of pocket money too. My brother is in his mid-teens now, and he's part of the mollycoddled generation. He can't even cut the grass because of his hay fever, so he sits upstairs on his computer watching my mum and dad do it. He will never need a

I took creatine when I was 16, and going though a bodybuilding phase. Without going into deep research, I remember that it used to pump-up your muscle cells, making you feel bigger, and you got bad cramps if you didn't drink enough water. Supposedly it increased your muscular endurance, allowing you to squeeze-out those couple more reps, increasing muscle growth. I also used to take it in cycles, taking loads of it for a week, then small amounts for three weeks, and then two weeks off. It was just a white powder that you mixed into your protein shakes. I didn't have any problems with

School Calls Police After Pupil Looks At Ukip Website
J_Edwards replied to neems's topic in General Talk
Like somebody mentioned before, if the kid was looking at the Unite Against Fascism website, the Green Party, or even the Labour Party, the teacher wouldn't have said a word, and probably even given praise. It's the typical liberal-lefty attitude of believing in "free speech" to the full, unless it's something they don't agree with, then it's "racist", "homophobic", "sexist" or "bigoted". Sadly there are too many of this kind, sucking the life out of the public sector, particularly in the teaching trade, where political correctness is normally at it's worst, and a teacher could risk their job -
I work part-time to fund myself through Uni. My current job is so so. On one hand, it's very boring, and sometimes it feels like time is going backwards, The job is just staring at a screen all day, and the constant bureaucracy is very frustrating. Not to mention the pay is just a tad over minimum wage, and opportunities to advance aren't good. On the other hand, the hours are very flexible, they're a good bunch who work there, and there's very little pressure. I got my HGV licence a while ago, and through working bits and bobs, I really enjoy it. I've decided to take on a driving job for

Darts and snooker too by the sound of it. They've lost Top Gear, and The Voice, which were no doubt the biggest attraction to the BBC, and now they're chopping the rest. It could possibly end up like some of the foreign public TV channels, with just news, documentaries, and very low-key, politically-correct dramas, like Waterloo Road. It doesn't deserve a license fee, it's just not worth it anymore.

Referees use four command words: "stop", "box", "break" and "time". The command "break" is used to get boxers to undo themselves from a clinch, and they MUST take a step back. "Stop" is used in countless instances, purely to stop the bout, i.e to issue cautions, warnings, knockdowns, to stop the boxing at the end of a round where the boxers may not hear the bell, such as in a noisy venue, etc. If Fury and Klitschko were both holding, then the ref should give commands on the move, such as "don't hold", tapping their hands, and if they don't respond, then use the command "break". If they ref

I've always been of the opinion that nobody does anything for the benefit of others, whether they be a Conservative politician, or a liberal-left protester. Believe me, the liberal-left, anti-racism, anti-sexism, anti-homophobia, anti-poverty groups have a very strong presence in British universities, and there's a big social side, with lots of kudos and social advantages to being a member of one. Then there's the feeling of being in a position of moral superiority, what lot's of people crave. There are lots of sad little people out there who latch onto groups like this to give their life some

A few of my mates became apprentice bricklayers with the same builder. They were on peanuts at the time, but one stuck at it, split off, and now has his own building firm, another stayed with the same firm and takes home a fair bit of cash. The other one jacked it in a few weeks into it, chasing that extra 10p per hour, and laboured everywhere. 15 years later, he's still an unskilled labourer, doing whatever he can, and still on minimum wage, whereas the other two are proper bricklayers, and are living very comfortably, just by sticking at their apprenticeships for a few years, despite the low

Look out for the "Ban Terrier Work" page on Facebook. They're a bunch of antis who trawl Facebook for people's photos that involve guns or hunting in general, where they steal the photos, and put them on their page for hundreds of antis to hurl abuse, insults and threats at the defenseless people involved. Any attempt to comment on this page is quickly removed. A while ago, they stole a photo of someone with a gun and some dead foxes in front of his sign-written work's van, and then he was publicly humiliated, most likely costing him business. Set your Facebook settings to private only, or onl

Look at the bloke in Glasgow who's bin lorry killed a few people. They're blaming him for giving false information to a doctor for his LGV licence medical. If the media and liberal-left public opinion dealt with this in the same way that they talk about guns, they would be calling for a ban on vehicles over 3.5 tonnes max gross weight!

Positive Discrimination, establishments like the BBC love it! Fast-tracking and promoting minorities into better positions, with no consideration about whether they can do the job. There's no formal evidence of it, but the amount of minority or disabled presenters seems to be ever increasing. Just ticking boxes and pleasing Liberals. Paying for the BBC is one thing, especially when it's 95% crap, but their increasing bias is another kick in the nackers. The title of their upcoming documentary about Britain First shouldn't be "Is Britain racist?", as it sets their agenda to prove guilt. It

Personally I think it should be scrapped. I barely ever watch the TV channels, and quite frankly I'm getting fed up of their liberal-left leaning bias that seems to plague every sort of documentary. The way they planted left-wingers in the crowd of the televised election debate to poo-poo Nigel Farage, and a disgracefully biased documentary on the Calais crisis being some. They also have an upcoming programme documenting Britain First, titled "Is Britain racist?". That's biased before it even starts! Being a national, public service broadcaster, they want to be squeaky-clean, and offend no
-
His views are one thing, but for him to broadcast them on the BBC is just wrong. The BBC is a national corporation, therefore it should be completely impartial, and be free from any political propaganda. The BBC is messed up anyway, with it's liberal-left bias. I watched a short documentary about the Calais crisis, and there was some young, female, probably Oxbridge-educated journalist, who was blatantly glorifying the migrants, and making them look like heroes, whilst treating the British lorry drivers like complete scum for their anti-immigration views. Even when they explained that the

What makes me think, is looking at how bad some car drivers are. For example, my mum is an absolutely atrocious driver. She has a 4x4 that she drives like a Tiger Tank, gets too close to the car in front, and has horribly erratic gear changes. She one drove for a few miles on the wrong side of the road, because she thought it was a dual carriageway, and also drove into a ditch full of water. You genuinely feel ill after being in the car with her, and she has had more bumps, scrapes and write-offs than you can imagine. The same as a lorry driver at work, who is on paper, a "professional driver"
