Popular Post Vive_La_Villa Posted October 18, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 18, 2022 Just experienced racist abuse directed at me by a homeless person walking past me. I filmed some of it. Thankfully kept my cool and didn’t react too badly although I probably should have walked away. Really thought (hoped) these days had past. She had so much resentment. I felt so angry but now I’ve calmed down I actually feel sorry for her. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She was proper off her head. The whole incident was being filmed by teens. Hopefully doesn’t go viral! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Racist idiots are still very much alive and kicking in 2022, despite what some people in this thread would have you believe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Racist idiots are still very much alive and kicking in 2022, despite what some people in this thread would have you believe. I’m one of those that whilst accept its alive and kicking, I also have seen how unacceptable it is considered by the majority of people in society which is a big difference to when I was a kid. The brashness of the person today really took me by surprise and all passers by were shocked too. But then she did seem high as a kite. There was actually a funny moment where she called me all sorts of racist names then walked over to a group of teens saying to them ‘I’m not a racist person, he called me a white shit first’! (Totally made up of course). Then she pretended to have a knife and threatened to pull it out and stab me with it. I have it all on camera but that was time to walk away and stop retaliating. Her last words shouted to me were watch this space. It was a pretty eventful trip to Primark! I might stick to online shopping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not funny unless you are racist either. In fact it would have made more sense about Margaret Thatcher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mic09 Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 *Please take this post with a pinch of salt because it will assume Tories have anything like political intelligence* I guess a decision to back Sunak (or any other political leader for that matter) has been heavily researched. Studies with focus groups must have been done in order to see what the public thinks about a specific individual before getting them to lead an election. Maybe the research showed him being of Asian background (thankfully) does not have a great affect on the public opinion of the person. But then I think that they chose Liz and Boris so maybe that sort of research isn't done at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were various polls released by the polling companies, most of which indicated that Sunak was the Tories best bet at a General Election but that his chances of winning were still very small Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 I think the reason he's there is that while he'll still almost certainly lose, he might stop the bleeding, and help them only stay out for one term rather than a decade+. He'll lose some votes from bigots, but they'll be able to win those back when he's gone and he won't be around for the next one anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My daughter's boyfriend is Hindu and he sent me it. He did find it hilarious but then again he also supports arsenal so I think his judgement is off. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't let my daughter marry one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
