And I am not lecturing about behaviour, I am offering advice as I have been in his position before. Banned as Steely as a starter for ten. And you've been banned again by another mod today. We await your next effort. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted Tuesday at 03:56 Share Posted Tuesday at 03:56 Alas, poor Dawson Steelly Park Bigot Bobo. Survived only by a handful of other sockpuppet/dotting accounts signed up around the same time. Incidentally, he opened this account before the Steelly one. We haven't seen desperately pointless dedication like this since Magee's heyday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boo Khaki Posted Wednesday at 06:33 Share Posted Wednesday at 06:33 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c98y09n8201o This is absolute insanity, and tells me that Reeves hasn't got the first clue about mental health care. People who are "in hospital" because of their mental health are, these days, the most profoundly ill people going. You don't get a voluntary admission just because you are feeling a bit low or struggling to cope. The last thing people in a mental health crisis need is some muppet from DWP pitching up to give them some sort of glorified school leaver's careers advice. Then you've got the people on locked wards... f**king clowns this lot. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a stroke if luck for a chancellor / bad luck for benefit recipients 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boo Khaki Posted Wednesday at 17:21 Share Posted Wednesday at 17:21 There should be some sort of Scottish Citizenship test they need to pass before they are issued with a visa. Allergen tests to ensure they are Irn-Bru tolerant, etc. "Are you, or have you ever been, a member of the Jimmy Hill fan club?" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
