    A link would be nice - guardian isnt a dictionary tho- looks like a dictionary def...

    Guardian often has Opinion pieces- which are by definition, not fact


    You're doing some gymnastics there. Is it that hard to say ''ok maybe I wasn't fully informed?''.

    Here's a link to an article from The Guardian. It's a left leaning publication is it not? Is it not reputable?

    Here's GQ Magazine's take on it.

    A simple google will show you btw.

    Fair enough and tbh I don't give fiddlers about British politics myself but the qualifier is that the person it's leveled it has to be white. Sub that with any other ethnicity and I wonder would it be as acceptable.


    Oh but it is acceptable in boards. It's acceptable to call the gang of teenagers in Balbriggan black because that's a fact so how is it not acceptable to use the same term about a gang of white people. Would it be okay if they were just called whites?

    Dark Gammon is also available

    I actually thought you were capable of being a fair debater but obviously I'm incorrect on that. You're not being honest. I don't see much merit in engaging someone like that. Your Thank You Migrants thread really makes more sense now. And yes, I think people certainly can be racist against their own race.

    Hahaha you are comedy gold .

    Imagine trying to complain, you'd have a series of idiots queuing up to call you a racist.

    if you express your complaint in a civil manner, then no there won't be a queue of people to call you a racist.

    Ah sweet, another upholder of free speech as long as it's in agreement with them.

    Any thoughts on the UK declaring a national emergency at the hundreds of migrants illegally travelling there from France (a safe country and where they should request asylum)?

    yeah. they should invest in and resource their border force properly like normal countries. instead of trying to do everything on the cheap or farming it out to the lowest bidder to make it someone else's problem and then blaming others for problems of their own making.

    ticking a box on a form does not make you of a religion.

    Some generalisation. Thought you'd be against that. Anyone that uses the word douche is a spa.

    Yeah you're the authority on everything aren't ya?! Jesus you're a self hating one you are. If you're trolling it's sad. If you're being truthful in all this, twice as sad.

    After trying to be so virtuous in this thread and it's ironically a racially charged term that's undone ya. You're absolutely sick that you've been caught out with I'd say. Resorting to calling people love and doing the type of gymnastics that Nadia Comaneci would be proud off. You've been found out. Disaster for ya.

    Em yes!!! You said it yourself, that's a fact. It's ok to call someone black. If you use black in a derogatory way, then it's not ok. If you say, for example, ''black bastards'' or ''black animals'' then yeah to me that's racist. Merely saying a gang of black youths isn't. You're barking up the wrong tree if you're coming at me though. If you recall, I was calling that racist a-hole out on the Balbriggan thread.
