There are sacred words like diversity, safe space and free speech.

I'd be interested to know what the word "diversity" means to bored members?

100MileDad

The prevention of ideas reaching an audience is part of it, true. I do think there's more to no-platforming than simply preventing expression of a certain viewpoint though - even if it's being heard by a single, often fairly small audience. In practical terms they're not stopping the ultimate disse...

My plan is to have a Fiver a race on every race, money I can afford to lose.

Anyone seen any good deals? Skybet (£20.00) and Coral (£25.00) are giving money back if your bet in the first race is a loser.

I fecking hate that project, it's ridiculous.

For those that don't know, Earth Hour is a corporate festival where we slap each other on the back for turning off some lights ONCE a year. We should be doing that every single week.

What I can't understand is the fuss made about getting rid of drinking straws, like that's going to do anything. There are so many more really practical things that can be done. Because theyre all little things taken isolation, and they all need to be done. Just because something else needs to be d...

That's the point, the only discourse you want to hear is your own or ones similar.

But but but DAC Haven't you been telling us how the EU just replaced the last Italian Government? The lads will just do it again. Soz It was the Greek Government, and there's a fair chance I say.

I see that little oik from Ireland has suggested that he's going to ground all Ryanair flights in the UK the day after Brexit "to teach us a lesson" :lol: :lol: Head of Lufthansa backed him up.

If you forget the divorce payment- how much will the bad feeling affect tourism etc? Which tourism? Brits holidaying in continental Europe? I reckon they will still go , if they can afford it.

So if there's no deal scenario (which I still think is unlikely) these are what both sides will lose: UK Restricted access to EU markets No passporting EU No 40 billion euros No contributions to EU budget No fish for the Frenchies Restricted access to the UK market No security cooperation Have I mi...

I see the Left starting to think about putting their wagons in a circle and go for the guy that justifiably criticised them. It's a good tactic.

100MileDad

So, being very positive about things, that £40 billion we were going to give to the EU will now see us through for few years. Could be worse.

100MileDad

Given the rhetoric coming from the EU over the last couple of days I've come to the conclusion that the really don't understand the British people or they do in fact want a HAF Brexit.

Tell me, how important is that potential £40 billion Euros to them again?

Is being a regressive as bad as being a racist? Is accusing someone of being a regressive as bad as accusing them of being a racist?

And that most British people are fairly thick. Though it might simply be most people are thick, and there's nothing special about the Brits having more stupid people

What won’t happen is the uk going begging in Brussels on bended knee which is what the eu team seem to want, not a chance.

I concur.

Is the right to a platform (which these ones were attacking) entirely equivalent to the right to free speech? If that's your logic then why didn't they attack the platform an hour before the talk. :lol: Maybe had a couple of pints before hand and were running late? Decent Sam Smith's down the road ...

Instead they gave Cameron the bird. This could have all been avoided.
