I bet that bath robe was stolen from a hotel.

It's too classy for the Thistle Hotel Heathrow.

Extraordinary how these Americans live with such fear. Not like our rulers, who take on the mob armed only with righteous indignation.

Of course it is dear. Now, would you like a nice cup of tea and a sit down?

I already have both thank you.

[NotAllThere]

No I didn't. It's still your poor comprehension abilities at fault.

You certainly implied it.

It's cretinous of you to think that I feel that I speak for all the new generation.

You certainly implied it. Either than or you need to attend vetran's remedial writing classes.

Well it was pretty close this morning!

You do make me laugh.

Well they seem to frequently make decisions without them.

That Dylan song was released in 1964 - he belongs to the boomer generation which instantly nullifies anything he says as far as the yoof of today are concerned.

The woke don't care about facts or logic or credibility, this for them is about power and forcing what they want through violence if necessary. I hate to think what might happen if Trump wins another term in November.

The irony will be that if he does it will be their doing because the silent majority have completely had enough of wokeness, identity politics and the riots and looting have crossed the line. I hope America doesn't turn into a real life version of GTA.

Bob Dylan was always a patronising git. Great musicianship and lyricism not withstanding.

It's cretinous of you to think that I feel that I speak for all the new generation. Were you in vetran's remedial English comprehension class?

I don't teach that anymore, not since you & Assgoo signed up I concluded some people can't be taught.

Funny thing. My son and daughters understand and agree precisely with Pie. It's nice of you to feel you speak for all the new generation... but that's also a tad patronising.

And that bit about categorising people into more and more segments in the name of diversity. This obsession with defining what is white and what is black reminds me of the race laws various countries have had over the years.

Everyone is brown. Some very pale indeed, some darker. Some go darker on exposure to sun. But basically, human skin colour is just various shades of brown.

As Giles Coren put it - Woke Macht Frei.

Coren has been a restaurant critic for The Times since 1993

That will stick it to the kids!

As somebody you have read about in the Times or Private Eye once wrote:

Come mothers and fathersThroughout the land
And don't criticize
What you can't understand
Your sons and your daughters
Are beyond your command
Your old road is rapidly agin'
Please get out of the new one
If you can't lend your hand
For the times they are a-changin'
