No worries, I wasn't having a pop at you. I still think 'cancel culture' is a silly meme that the left and right (mainly the right) weaponize to denigrate each other. It means anything and nothing (as the Trump usage illustrates). It is not terminology I'll be using. I am happy enough with 'no...

I don't know what cancel culture means. Cancelling seems to straightforward and unequivocal to constitute a culture. It sounds to me like a form of abuse of a group, like 'wokerati'. Are the 'cancel culture' people the students who 'no platform' people the don't want speaking at their college? I...

Oh dear. You would think they would be happy now they have moved to a nicer place. It may be a 'reaction' to homesickness - keep telling yourself how shit it all is 'back home' and you'll make yourself feel better. Do yourself a favour, smile and wave and keep your distance :thumbsup:

Indeed. Humans are disappointing, but I think there is hope. We do loads of mad and bad things now, but the direction of travel is pleasing, if annoyingly slow. I'm old enough to remember common attitudes to Jews, people of colour (a term that would have been mocked), men who showered daily...

Best not get too angry over the instincts and choices of tory MPs. If you do, you'll have only minutes to live :wink:

I think it is a valuable and sobering concept, even if it is somewhat tongue in cheek. What more could we as individuals do to ensure we get better government? Do we do anything much at all, other than moan? I understand you are an exceptional active citizen, so if you want to detach yourself...

It is the responsibility of the voter to ensure they are properly informed, and indeed registered to vote. We are lied to all the time my multiple informants. We can see, just from NSC, that different folk believe entirely different things about the state of society, the intentions and even the...

Sorry yes. I forgot about those jokers. So switching PMs during their tenure as PM seems quite commonplace. I am not keen, obviously, but I'm not particularly concerned. It is what it is. One of the most profound coups was in 1981 when Andrew McIntosh won the GLC for labour and was then...

Two PM replacements, not elections, surely? Sorry, not following your point.

I blame the electorate. We only ever get what we deserve.

Not even an internal vote because nobody else wanted the job? Frankly I'm not bothered. If a sitting PM is removed it is the prerogative of the party of government to replace him. Wislon - Callaghan Thatcher - Major Blaire - Broon Johnson - Thicko - Sunk And every time it happens the...

We didn't vote for him. He was elected by the tory membership after a coup removed Johnson, and the first replacement (thick Lizzy) turned out to be mad. He wasn't voted it. FFS. Mate.

Twit. :wink:

I'm thinking of nominating you for an OBE. :bowdown:

Me too. But when you have been told the passage is perfectly safe...... What would be another reason for selecting the UK over Germany if you spoke English and not German? Could it be that after 13 years in charge, the Tories have now firmly established the UK as the softest of all soft...

Maybe they speak English but not German.

Perhaps we should rename it "Bozza" ???

Everyone on this thread who has been mocked for posting rubbish was already on my ignore list. How very queer. ???

Excellent post.

There are plenty of annoying people on NSC. @Zeberdi is a very long way from being one of them. :shrug:
