Why do we allow such disgusting scenes on our once peaceful English streets?
Look what we have allowed in the quest to create a multicultural country?
If these Kurds feels so strong about what is happening to their fellow Kurds, why don't they go over to Iraq and help to get rid of ISIS?

Not so crass ZM. The olden days of highwaymen, peaky blinders Rippers etc etc, are long gone, our Police force and the Governments of the day brought this country into line, the crassness was bringing ye Olde England up in the first place. The people who are now taking us for granted in our own country lived in bad conditions with bad governments, and it is not our...

"Actually - it does"
I'm well aware of the "fire in a crowded theatre" cliché, and am getting a little sick of it being regurgitated as stone cold fact. The original quote was even then a lazy misdirection used to justify the depression of wartime dissent, and its use now is pretty much always from censorship apologists who don't have anything else to back up their argument.

/// No - I wasn't working in the 70s. I was at school. ///
/// It was illegal for school children to work...except for part time work, or (as I did) with paper rounds. ///
Who said that you were working, we were talking about generations, and I was merely pointing out that you were also part of that generation since you were around at the time.
I suppose it was also a 'true story' that Margaret Thatcher closed more mines than Wilson?
But it was not there was a greater closure of mines during Wilson's two terms in office than in Thatcher's three terms.
A really true story.

Quite so Andy, but there is no point in importing even more protesters, when they would be better employed protesting in their own countries, if they dared.

Once again let me explain this to you - I travel a lot for my job and have an iPhone. Therefore during my 'down time', I'm able to log into AB and put you right on many different subjects (well, actually - the same subject which you seem to return to with entertaining frequency).
I see correcting you as being a form of charity work.
Anyone on AB who would like to nominate me for a CBE for this tireless charity work is welcome to do so (please note, I want a CBE, not an OBE or MBE - those are the rubbish ones they give pop stars and dinner ladies).

Well just as long you have started to revert to your insult mode, let me join you.
So you want to be nominated for a CBE, (Companion of the British Empire) eh?
So you are all in favour of the British Empire are you? Somehow I don't think you have really thought that one through properly have you?
Retires now for a nice Gin & Tonic on the veranda, dinner ladies and pop stars welcome, I don't class myself superior to you at least.

That may be your impression, but I think you're wrong.
When people complain about multiculuralism, they are specifically talking about my family.
If I were to raise a thread denouncing the way elderly people drive, I submit that older people on AB would take offence.
When people on AB raise critical posts on UKIP, the same people will take it upon themselves to shout back.
It's the way of the world.
AB would be an extremely boring place if everyone were to be completely objective about all topics.

SP, //When people complain about multiculuralism, they are specifically talking about my family.//
That's not true. How is your family’s culture so very different from that of the indigenous Brit? You’re not talking about culture, you’re talking about colour, and in doing so you are aligning your own family’s culture to those that are, in fact, very alien to your own. I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve said that culture does not equate to colour and the sooner people acknowledge that the better because it serves only to exacerbate divide.

/// No - I am certainly not in favour of the British Empire, but I *am* in favour of getting a CBE. ///
That is being rather hypocritical isn't it, an atheist who is not in favour of the British Empire but seeks to be nominated for a 'CROSS' of the 'BRITISH EMPIRE'.
And an anagram of sp1814 is: Stupid Person 1,814, there are a lot of them around. Sorry but you started it.

why does aog think that
/an anagram of sp1814 is: Stupid Person 1,814/
do you think he googled the wrong explanation of anagram?
And clearly, as we no longer have an 'empire' the continued issuing of awards that use the term in their title is just traditional.
Or are atheists not expected to respect the English flag?
