Benjamin_Nevis Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 This thick janitor boomer, who has started a ‘virtual bar’ on Facebook and amassed 50,000+ followers so far, has clearly let the fifteen minutes of fame go to his head.

Michael W Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 4 minutes ago, Lex said: This countries obsession with all things USA never ceases to amaze me. Racist police murders and brutality in South America, Africa, Asia - which happen on a daily basis - doesn’t make the news and there’s no outrage. Police brutality in USA and it’s all over the British news and everyone here is up in arms. Why? Is it more tragic if it happens in America than these other foreign places? The same reason more people care about terrorist attacks in Europe than similar attacks in the Middle East or Asia or wherever - it's far easier to relate to and many British people have visited the United States and/or are heavily familiar with it through television etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I trust those who are politically active now will have more joy. The alternative is to do nothing. Hopefully @Mr. Alli will explain why he red dotted this. (If he’s red dotting me rather than the post fair enough, otherwise I’d really like to hear it). -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another part is that we expect better from an affluent Western democracy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy is a janny, big deal and no reason to mock. 50,000 followers explains why you're envious. Not everyone is going to agree with you, it doesn't make you any better than anyone else. -10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

accies1874 Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 Bennett's performance in this thread really is something else. He's trying to be some kind of harmonious peacekeeper but coming across as a tedious contrarian. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 It's absolutely criminal what's been allowed to happen to Flint; without meaning to invite GIFs of Robert Lindsay, it should be a real wake-up call about Capitalism, but it doesn't seem to have been. It's an incredibly clear case of the health and lives of American citizens being expendable if it impinges on the right of corporations and politicians to extend their pool of wealth. It's been done elsewhere in the world, but they've now established it's OK to do it at home too. Any time Barack Obama opens his mouth, there should be people reminding him of the time he went to a town being poisoned by its own water supply and did nothing but crack wise about it for the press. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need to be so aggressive, the gang like bullying on here does need to be called out.

I'm mocking him because he has supposedly banned any political posts, then expressed what many people may deem to be a racist viewpoint, deleted any opposing opinions and hidden the amount of negative reactions. But you just carry on. Edited June 2, 2020 by The Real Saints 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
