Re: Schoolboys forced to apologise to girls

It's like the white people who send paypal donations to random black people thinking it makes up for their white guilt, or telling everyone who doesn't kneel is compliant in the systematic oppression, or telling people that sa...

Re: Coronavirus Thread. Virus v humans
Guys, you're making me sick with your xenophobia. France is struggling with its third wave of COVID epidemic, just like the UK did earlier. Make it an nationalist issue if you want. Piss on France if that floats your boat. But look at figures and stats in context. Hold up! It's about Macron rubbish...

Also, as the laws have become tighter (or more tightly interpreted at least) players can still sometimes operate on inst...
