Originally posted by WTFH View PostNo, I just went to search where else was covering it and the only other two places were the DM and Breibart.
I then noticed the DM's sidebar and the third story down was about some woman being abused for wearing a bikini, so that would be two stories about people being abused for wearing little to no clothes.
Obviously both are unpleasant but being spat on is a whole lot different to some sad teenager in their bedroom complaining you have a flabby bum.Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.Comment

Lack of investment in infrastructure and education. Neither of those investments win politicians many votes and the rewards of the investments are not seen in the 4/5 year cycle of a parliament.
Any suggestion that takes more than a few weeks to implement is going to struggle.
If the suggestion was made that everyone in the country pays £20 a month extra tax so that we had dependable power in 20 years time, very few over 40s would support it. The over 70s would say they should pay because they will not live to see the benefit. The over 40s will say they shouldn't pay because in 20 years time we'll have some new technology that means we don't need to make the investment now - instead we can put it in out pensions. They will also say that it should be the people who are working in 20 years time who have to come up with the solution and how to fund it.…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment

Originally posted by vetran View Postso you equate face to face verbal & physical abuse in Germany with Twitter trolling in the UK. Blimey you are desperate.
No, the DM equates them, not me. I just checked one of the sources of your headline and noticed that it is reporting two stories where it headlines them about abuse over clothing.
I think it is disgraceful that people should be spat at.…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment

I checked the Breitbart source (Junge Freiheit) but it is blocked at work due to being a right wing site (which you can tell by the name, a rather nasty extremely right wing site), however I did find it in the local paper for the area and it goes on about them being 'sudländisch' which equates to anything from Mediterranean to Arabic countries“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.”Comment

Environmental taxes - Office for National Statistics
And strangely no one has any choice or they go to jail.
Now the real problem is that the last few governments have used it as a subsidy to major energy suppliers (free insulation) If they had spent it on Nuclear & decent green generation we would be there by now.Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.Comment
