    This morning I mentioned You're a natural business woman. I mean person, a natural business person. Apparently we shouldn't say businessman or businesswoman nowadays, and should call both business people.
    Why?
    Some women may get offended by being referred to as a woman, and some men might get offended by being referred to as a man, apparently.

    Why?
    Because they're stupid fokin' idiots.


    So Woke-PCland, and I guess other countries like Iran that hang gays using giant cranes in town squares, which is a bit too far on the other side of the spectrum, to be honest.

    I got caught up in this a few years ago. Due to a badly delayed Lufthansa flight, half a plane-load of people missed connections and were stranded at Munich Airport for the night. As we poor bastards (or 'Customers' as Lufthansa referred to us) queued up at the Lufthansa desks for some assistance, all of a sudden, with no word of warning, the desks just closed and the personnel disappeared. We were left to fend for ourselves for the night and hotels were full due to a conference.

    The next day I was told the desks closed since no-one was allowed to do overtime... even in circumstances such as that. Maybe this wasn't Lufthansa's fault but the fault of the law, but I haven't flown with the tossers since.

    I hate Martians!
    All slimy green skin and 3 bulging eyes looking in 3 different directions at the same time. They can't even speak English, just 'wibble wibble'.

    Fcuking aliens - I hate them!

    And don't say 'pot calling the kettle black'! My blue skin is considered by some to be rather sexy and at least I speak the Queen's English...

    Opinions vary. I lived there for over 11 years. The individuals may vary, but in general I found them quite pleasant and the country was invariably clean and well organized.

    Having said that, my last visit was in the late 1990s.

    Yeah, I've been all over the country, probably 40 or 50 visits including one for almost a month (I was last there in April in Berlin) and love the country and find the people to be really helpful and friendly. It's one of my favourite places anywhere.

    I have never worked there though.

    Anyone might think from this loopy propagandising hack from the Torygraph that Britain has not been governed by a succession of Tory PMs since 2010.

    Poor old Tax, as daft as a Trumpian loon dribbling his addled rhetoric in deepest Iowa.

    And you are just as addled sitting on the polar opposite of political opinion. Just because Tax is wrong does not make you right.

    The rules changed around 2015. Prior to that things were a lot better.

    So, you agree that after fourteen years of continuous Tory dominated rule the Tory governments are not responsible in any way for the failure to compensate the victims of the injustice of the Horizon debacle but believe the scandal is the sole responsibility of Messrs. Ed Davey and Keir Starmer?

    You really are a fucking idiot.

    You’re a fucking idiot dreaming up that paragraph and then attributing it to me.

    But the point is valid.

    Only arch one-eyed tories like tax and Torygraph journalists can carry on about the many ills blighting the UK as if the Conservative Party is blameless.

    They've been in power for the last 13 years.

    It's a pretty straightforward point.

    I really need to start getting into political discussions online.


    Which party/side should I be vehemently defending and why?

    The ones that are worth defending, so probably none

    It's noticeable from your posts that you've been trying out life as a fully fledged adult here recently.

    It seems to have been a bumpy ride so far, and your juvenile vacuity is still quite striking.

    But you should be commended for the effort.

    A similar thing occurred here in Australia under a Morrison govt. They lnp hated the unemployed and introduced software to centrelink that falsely accused jobseekers of ripping of the system and hefty fines were handed out with much glee, hundreds of welfare recipients committed suicide , despite a royal inquiry nobody high ranking copped a pineapple but a couple of centrelink managers were scapegoats. The debacle was known as Robodept
