Re: Puke Fight!

I did see some brutal fights, both in junior and senior houses (and i'm not talking about mere headlocks....) To be honest, I don't remember that many actual fights between just 2 kids, but I do remember a lot of instances of 1 kid getting a kicking from 5+. Those could be absolutely brutal. What o...

Re: Puke Fight!

I remember a few fights between squits in the Peele B library/quiet room after lunch in the early to mid 90s. The fights were organised by the LE for entertainment, I don't think the 2nd formers were actually wanting to hit or fight anyone. The LE would make up stories of how someone had insulted s...

Re: Mine is one of them!

Pretty sure Michael Caine isn't Jewish-what gave you that impression...? Indeed. Apparently an absolute invention. "Caine has his own ideas of whether there is actually “anybody there”. “I’d dearly love to think that there is somebody there,” he explains. “And I have a lot of back-up, because ...

Re: prison releases

I don't think prisoners should be tagged, they should serve their time. It's not a punishment And if the prisons are too full, then sentence them to less time. But let's not pretend that justice is served or we are being tough on crime by tagging them. I understand it provides flexibility, incentiv...

Re: Freaky in the FT

Covid is making for an extraordinarily convenient smokescreen for the various problems that we are facing, especially the difficulties in healthcare, haulage, food supply and foreign travel. The overwhelming contributor to most of these problems is not Covid, it is Brexit. If one were to be very cy...

It's the Polish government that is trying to make its country more akin to a Reich, and the EU that is trying to prevent it.
Astute observation.

Re: Freaky in the FT

Delighted to see that a Polish politician has at last admitted that Germany is trying to turn the EU into the Fourth Reich. Unfortunately that is what I was saying about that unmentionable German woman for a long time. I don't think the word 'admitted' really fits - more 'accused'... Do you really ...

Re: Freaky in the FT

Was the ERM a disaster? For us maybe. But most other countries survived their stay and the ERM went on to become the Euro. The problem was that we went in at too high a rate. Rather reflecting the mistake that Churchill made as Chancellor in 1925 when putting us back onto gold at an overvalued rate...

Rockfreak, That is both very unpleasant and uncalled for. If you cannot do better than that, I suggest that you keep your opinions to yourself. David :shock: Thatcher herself was both unpleasant and uncalled for. She caused two of the worst recessions and unemployment since the 1930s and there were...

Re: Telegraph article: Pupils at prestigious public school will receive lessons in 'white privilege'

Loringa. Reading your post you seem to be opening the country open to a non-violent (initially) takeover by a foreign culture / nation. No, I am not. I am simply making the point that the laws are written to serve the people of a country, any country. We now have approximately 13% of our population...

Re: Telegraph article: Pupils at prestigious public school will receive lessons in 'white privilege'

Interesting indeed. I probably subscribe to the basic premise of Critical Race Theory in that, unintentionally at least, the laws and culture of a country such as the UK derive from its history which, despite regular injections, welcome or otherwise, of fresh DNA from various invaders, was largely ...
