I think most CUKers are ignoring you. But please hang around until the CUK Wales meet up as then there will be 4 of us.....

I'm bored of the Aaron Banks thread and have a low attention span.

Can someone please post something "offensive" so we can all have faux outrage again?

TIA

Not enough people showing enough outrage for you?

I refuse to get annoyed about anything on this forum, you chunts just aren't worth it.

Virtue signalling again I see...

Yet somehow it always provokes a reaction in you.

Exactly. You see, I wasn't the least bit upset about the use of "pikey", it's just that it has become an
unacceptable term with racist connotations, and so, as a moderator, I have to deal with that.

What I find incredible is that people got upset about a little modsnip and it seems to them a bigger deal than some poor copper killed just doing his job. One of my kids wants to be a police officer. One of my friends did become a cop and her partner was shot dead four weeks after she began - took a bullet for a lowlife.

I get annoyed that people get angry about trivial things rather than the important things that damage the lives of so many people.

All day drinking is doing you a power of good, old chap.

I get annoyed that people get angry about trivial things rather than the important things that damage the lives of so many people. Essentially they only react to the things that they are told to by the media.

Here's a good example: Matt Stoller on Twitter: "1. Starting 2006 or so, I've become somewhat disillusioned with the Democratic Party. I'm going to explain why. It has to do with the relationship most Democrats have with corporate power, or really, power. Now first, to explain, I'm a liberal Democrat."

I don't get worked up over immigration, and I never read the Wail. You are right about the last bit though...

I made a comment amount gammons. You decided for some reason I was calling you a gammon. I'm glad you've figured out I wasn't. And that probably you're not a gammon.

[Mordac]

I'm glad to be able to make you feel better. But I didn't know you were a gammon. Do you go red in the face over immigration etc.? Or worse... do you read the Daily Mail? I had you down as a reasonably intelligent person.
