spectra There was a discussion about a doll and some jam, I'm not prepared to mention the name of the doll as i do not wish to be banned. Relevant reading to this issue hereBottom of the page 'original article' is far better, and the responses to the original article (again at the bottom of the page) are more enlightening as to the opinions of people. As for the link to 'Brexit' .... why am i not surprised.

Not sure what mod baiting means I think it’s similar to bull baiting. Well I know what I think is a load of old bull! Guess!

Relevant reading to this issue hereYou can’t help but laugh at the sanctimonious PC shock displayed by people like Tim Bale who, as Professor of Politics, Queen Mary University of London is hardly qualified to understand the opinions of Joe Public and in penning this article shows characteristic liberal elite disdain for the views of a majority of normal people in this country.

I think the old "rhubarb mincer" would have agreed with this.

So it's only the views of Normal people that count? When I was young on the bus in and around Smethwick it was vile, jungle, monkey, banana and so on . But the perpetrators would say no son, just kidding, sticks and stones eh? No sir, it was disgusting then and more so now PS No idea what was said in the "offending" posts apart from evidently the word golliwog was used, and that would certainly make me suspicious of the poster' s intent

If you are implying that my comment had racist undertones I’m afraid you’re completely wrong.

Before some hardline PC zealot claims I’m being discriminatory for not including places in all the continents I’ll add Seattle, Santiago, Sydney and in order to prove I’m not victimising Antarctica, Scott Base. Yes, PC really is that petty, trivial and asinine. Now back to the real world of making money.

It's not the nation. It's the few perpetually offended by everything who make nearly all the noise. The PC Brigade has convinced many who were easy going and never offended in the past that they should be offended, so now they are, as you say, by everything.I'm offended by those who get so easily offended. I'm offended by your being offended... And so, ad infinitum ....

Well there are clear "ist" tones, by which I mean that those people with whom you disagree are thereby classified as abnormal, irregular, even heaven help us not average.

Other than to say “rubbish” I won’t grace that with a response. Admin I expect to have to take as good as I give when I make a controversial statement but to be accused of racism or any sort of "ism" without demonstrable proof in the statement: “Well there are clear "ist" tones, by which I mean that those people with whom you disagree are thereby classified as abnormal, irregular, even heaven help us not average. Fancy a nice pogrom?” is beyond the pale.
