Cancel Culture?

And the other "half" singing Irish Rebel songs?

When I go out for a beer with my friends in Glasgow, the first question is "So John, which team do I support in here, then?"

Makes for a spicy football match.

But the "what school did you go to" question in interviews was gone maybe 30 years ago, at a push it was only there in a handful of places.

But crazy seems to be back with a bang. The SNP twitter zoomers seem to have a thing for labelling unionists as far right now.

There are probably only a handful of...

*music stops*

"you went to Saint what?"


..places still going, and they are not shy in letting you know what is what on the way in.

Are you offended by the Union Flag flying in the UK?
Would you prefer it just to be the Saltire flown in Scotland or some other one?

I don't have a clue what you are on about.

Oh the irony.

Imagine if that bar were in Bristol.

Marv would be stood there with the police watching all the middle aged teenagers rip those flags to shred.

Maybe it's an ironic topless rhyming slang bar. Non binary staff and clientele or some such.

The only way you could get in and out of one of these places alive is to feign a foreign accent and ask for directions. Or have some kind of Tony Stark suit.

If you've not seen Obama's chat about "Woke" it's worth a look, on youtube. I totally agree with him.

Cancel culture is burning books imo.

Yes horrible things have happened and the world changes - but todays "OK" will be tomorrows not ok too - it's called progress and its good to reflect on things and see the positive change.

The past is always relevant in that it allows us to not make the same mistakes over and learn, not only the present and the future matter , destroying history is very dangerous IMO.

Ironic that they point at Trump as the new Adolf when Adolf was more into book-burning than wall-building.

There's a massive difference between removing a statue and "destroying history"
Children learn their education, not from statues, but from books, teachers and museums.

Unfortunately in these "offended" times, any statue to a slave trader must remain or those who consider the statue to be educational will be wailing about slippery slopes.
