You are not talking about a few indigenous people there's millions of them who feel that way (I know this meme has been posted before but I'm trying to emphasize that "the millions" have been manipulated and their anger is firmly directed to the wrong target.) 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 Without wishing to sound like too much of a snob, or detracting from what’s important, the spilling from both sides has been atrocious recently. Does it tie in to a wider theme of education? I’m no genius myself, only intelligent anally. But the lack of critical thinking, the lack of understanding of how to use the internet. There is a definite education angle to this.I don’t mean we all need degrees, I mean basic comprehension skills. That asylum hotel they attempted to burn and ransack, I don’t think there was a single correct spelling of england to the point I did wonder if it was Blandy trying to tell us something about the lovely eggs.

I've been staring at that picture for ages. What does it mean? Is it an anti fascist/racist zone? Or does the circle with a line through it mean it's a no anti fascist/racist zone? Does that make it a racist zone? How many negatives is that? Although the tet is in front of the circle, so maybe it doens't apply at all? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ironing is delicious! But to your point about education, I remember at school that critical thinking classes were offered to us, but only to the top set students, which ends up creating a two tier education system where only those deemed good enough get proper education and those who can't grasp it are left behind even though they need that type of stuff the most - stupid babies need the most attention to quote the Simpsons. I also had the misfortune of being put in a special needs class for a couple days because I didn't put my hand up enough in French class, which consisted of going to a tiny room at the end of the hall with 4 other kids and then barely doing anything for an hour, it felt more like being hidden away than being helped. Ultimately I can't blame the schools too much, their funding is shit and they're put under massive pressure to solely focus on test results which feeds this culture, but ultimately our education system is broken and needs a complete rethink. We already have much of the tools that could help, just we're only offering them to the "good" students when we need to be making education a much more level playing field, but the cynical part of me thinks those in power don't want the populace to be better educated.

markavfc40 Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 Strong stuff from O'Brien this. I was also driving earlier and O'Brien had a guy phone in to defend Yaxley Lennon saying he hadn't been stoking the flames/inciting violence. He got about 15 minutes of airtime and everything he said was ripped to pieces. At the end of the conversation O'Brien asked if he would change his mind about anything and the guy said no he has his own thoughts. What hope have you got. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Things were much nicer in 1939 when nice Mr Hitler and Mr Churchill made the UK a safer a whiter place. Why can't these foreigners act more like nice white people? Let's get back to the good old days with proper white role models like Fred & Rose West, the Kray Twins, Peter Sutcliffe, Dennis Nielsen, Ian Brady, Moira Hindley, Jimmy Saville, Gary Glitter, Kenneth Noye, Ian Huntley, Harold Shipman, etc. They never did anything to lower your house prices. They never stopped me getting a GP appointment. We need proper English traditions like Christianity, KFC, Pizza, a Friday night Balti, getting slaughtered on Stella Artois, Adidas tracksuits, Aldi, etc. say what you want about the twins but you could leave your doors open all night, they loved their dear old muvva and they only ever killed their own Edited August 6 by Follyfoot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like listening to him and a lot of the people on there that go up against him get torn to bits. He knows his stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
