You of course held the exact same viewpoint when Luis Suarez was accused of racism by Patrice Evra?...........just like a decent human might do

Well... yes. I reserved judgement until I'd read the FA report.

 

What's your point?

My point is that’s not how I remember it, I’ll read over the thread again, probably tomorrow, and get back to you if apologies are in order

Which is independent of the rest of your views which as usual I find to be utterly ridiculous

The more I read this the worse it becomes.  Pitchfork anyone? 

Which bit's the bad bit? The bit where I suggest that nobody here knows what's going on in Billie Eilish's mind, so it would be daft to jump to conclusions and clutch our pearls in moral horror (especially on a thread that's all about slagging off "them" for doing exactly that)? Or the bit where I admit that going on stage in blackface and a Jim Davidson "my mate Chalkie" accent was not my proudest achievement?

Jesus. If you like, I'll say "OK, I'm a hypocrite and I dismissed Evra's accusations as soon as he made them, because I've always thought he's a cunt."

 

There you go.  No need to go trawling through hundreds of pages from however many years ago (because that would be utterly ridiculous).

All of it. What could you have been, maybe 6 or 7 when adults told you what to wear and say? The idea you could be responsible or need to apologise for that is fucking mental. And you know it is.  
 

She was singing a song. If she’d been singing a song about fucking whores or killing people no one would bat an eyelid.  As Stronts said, no backlash on the guy who wrote and sang the lyrics.  Fucking mental.

Maybe, to be honest I think I might have only been in the choir I only have  a very vague memory of it but in any event I’m sure I’ve offended somebody so I’m deeply sorry. I mean you can’t take my job cos I’m semi - retired but maybe in the next life.

I certainly owe an apology to anyone who has ever heard me sing.

Never heard of the cunt, so I googled him and learned two things:-

1  His YouTube channel is called "The Voice of Reason"

2  He's been charged with multiple counts of harassment.

 

One for the Instant Cunt Identifiers thread, I think.

[Bobby Hundreds]

He looks like a twat in the I'm a local celebrity sense.

Is it Iain Dale he’s been harassing.

Mrs told me facebook are suspending anyone sharing pics of the NHS protests yesterday . Reportedly 1 million across the country marched yesterday and the government are gagging the media.  I didn't pay it much attention until  she just got a suspension for trying to share some pics of one of the marches . Anyone else have any insight ?

Mine went down yesterday and I couldn’t share or post anything other than comments on pages.

Yeah, I reckon they just banned anyone in certain groups or pages yesterday. Algorithms let them do it at the stroke of a key. Police and Crime Bill this week.

As if we didn't know this was coming. Fuckin crayon eating cunts who voted for the tories and brexit and haven't got a pot to piss in.

[Jack the Sipper]

A good article that pretty much echoes my own views on this shitty 'culture war' that some would like to have us believe we're fighting.

 

For a few years now, we've had elements of the right  (whether it's politicians, including this shitty government, giving the working class another reason to vote for them post-Brexit, or professional grifters like Laurence Fox looking to make money from the discontent caused by the politicians) telling any one who will listen that the Great British Way of Life is under threat because some post-grad with a foreign sounding name wants to pull down a statue of a slave trader or silence racists - and elements of the left indulge them.

I see Cornelius has been cancelled from composing music for the Olympics because he was a bully at school (does sound like he was a bit of a twat to be fair).

If you can't escape being a stupid shit at school, things could get quite tricky.

[Section_31]

Hmm, that's a bit beyond the standard school japes to be fair.

I'm sure that's one of the demonstration events at the Tokyo Olympics.
