Re: This is frightening
I'm with you DG.
You're not a racist, I'm so sick to the back teeth of not even being able to say anything in case the PC police tell me to shut up.
Anyway, I appreciate what you have to say if that means anything, sweets.

Do you mean Silver Slippered Steve? His hands are like whipped butter, I wouldn't have noticed him fondling any part of my anatomy, he's way too posh to get caught out.

Re: This is frightening
Why are you accusing me of trolling? I have seen other posts on this forum with just a link so why was this different? I thought this was a British Expats site where some people still have some interest in their mother country and might find it interesting. (And I didn't realize there was a political section)

Re: This is frightening
Then don't be relieved.
And I'm happy not to put your mind at rest because I am honest about what I think and believe. So if you don't like my posts and don't want to get to know me beyond the posts which don't encapsulate all my views because a person is more than the sumparts of their posts, fine.

I don't feel any great desire to get to know you from what you have posted so far though.

There does seem to be a quite bit xenophobic, small mindedness and ignorant parochialism on this thread, obviously I can't mention names. But continue.

For sure....it's easier to go with the crowd and the political and trendy flavour of the day isn't what you and I believe so be prepared for the flak.

Re: This is frightening
I assume i am one of the assholes or 'sad people' you refer to?
Regardless, that kind of personal abuse is against the rules of the forum and it will be reported.
What exactly do you want moderators to do for you? As far as I can see all of the posts responding to you have been fair, generally thoughtful, and certainly not personal in the kind of way you choose to reply. I sense you expect to be able to post and receive no critical comment - but that is not the way it works. You are the only one calling other posters assholes and sad...

Re: This is frightening
lmartin, you ar making yourself look silly, I and others have found threads here that are very biased I am perpared to stand by that and \I know there are others that feel the same!!. this forum is about helping other people who want to move here or move on somehere else, and are looking for advice and our experiences. You can either go along with that, or go the road you are going, which to be honest, is not helpfull, its up to you. You in my opinion are a do gooder, fine, but not realistic, thats my opinion, does not reflect on anyone else on this forum, I just find you well Silly, so lets let it go ok lets agree to disagree ok
I'm with you the UK is over run by some people.
