the Weeken Guardian.....the last straw...

[Streathamite]

No. I think the things that I think, and not entirely different things that you would prefer me to think.

Did it ever occur to you that if you're obliged to be dishonest about other people's ideas, not only does it say very little for your own, but other people can tell? Might that be why people don't queue up to agree with you?

eh? I thought he made a fair point

 

[Streathamite]

and you appear to miss 'irony' by two country miles, sir.

if that was irony, rather than obtuseness, then I'm billy hague

Oh dear...

yes mr Hague, having worked in media, seen that Shayler clown speak and generally sporting a head on my shoulders with ears on each side, I have never heard of the term "spooks"

 

[Streathamite]

<shrugs>
whatever

 

[chico enrico]

Jesus man, there was even a TV show called "Spooks" - i think it'd be pretty weird if you hadn't heard the phrase, don't you?

 

[Streathamite]

in that case, i'd really polish the 'irony' cos earlier on it came across as you being spectacularly obtuse. perception is all.
and I am also not privy to your TV tastes

 

[chico enrico]

ah, go polish yer helmet

 

[In Bloom]

It's like Jonathan Swift never left us after all.

 

[Streathamite]

oh such wit....

 

[Stobart Stopper]

PS he wasn't.

can I be last in on this one, Newbie sneaked in while I was unloading the tumble dryer.

I don't think we're quite in Last In territory ... are we???

yet!

I found out a Subversive Fact in The Guardian today.

So subversive, I'm not going to share it with you. Some of you will just write it off as a middle class 'liberal' fact ...

 

[William of Walworth]

It was a football score ...

 

[chico enrico]

great two page feature in the mail yesterday on how polish folk are swamping england but don't assimilate and stay in their own communities.

some school-kid who told a polish classmate to 'go back home' was attacked by a group of polish adults n'all.

terrible state of affairs innit? those swan eaters are taking over.

funnily enough, couldnt find anything bout the swampings or polish attacks on british schoolkids in The guardian....

 

[In Bloom]

Here's the thing though, there are serious problems with communitarianism, this does breed racial prejudice and it's Guardian pimping fuckwits like you who make the problem worse by pretending that this isn't the case.

That's not to say that the Mail's agenda and emphasis are any less vile or that the language they use isn't a load of sensationalist shit, but the fact that the Guardian ignores some very real issues of ethnic division going on in this country right now, because it doesn't fit into their postmodern, multiculturalist agenda hardly makes them the heroes of the piece.

to be fair they've had loads of articles recently about the current eastern European influx, exploring all aspects of it with some real depth and some decent conclusions. Undermined by op ed pieces that say everything is fine of course but still, let's not be too simplistic.

Let's not!

I read that Guardian readers have more blind acceptance of what is published in their paper than Sun readers do of theirs.

Smug, self satisfied hypocritical cunts.

Are you turning into just a bit of a a 'liberal' now biff???

 

[butchersapron]

William - a bit of advice. Don't do the post that you're thinking about doing next.

You reading my thoughts now ... ??

I don't know biff, so will leave alone. Prefer his later post (and agree with his criticism of the Grauniad op eds) to his earlier one though, let's just leave it at that.

Running out of time anyway.

Oh please don't go William.
