I doubt they’d do much damage to a dog.

At King's Bollege, Bambridge?

What is your bat of choice binners? More of a baseball bat? I'd have thought cricket would be a bit too middle class for you

i do love how every thing on here becomes a simple point scoring exercise and an exercise in being morally more outraged than the last person!

Clearly modern travellers, not the lovely heather sellers of old, but the modern "park where we like caravan club" are a problem, i've not heard a single suggestion of what could be done to improve the situation from anyone including those from that background, it has just been 7 pages of point-scoring....

I don't live too far from Cromer, mentioned above, not a single conviction came from those stabbings and disorder. I was in Brighton for a bank holiday weekend, where the whole of the main strip had to be closed following a wedding, i watched them peeing up the walls, helping themselves to beer, trashing fittings, again at a cost of an estimated £800,000 in bank holiday weekend trade to those pubs and bars, not a single conviction. So whilst we can all try and out politically correct each other it is a clear problem, what do people suggest to tackle the issue?

Subversion of the bourgousie by the proletariat, innit.

Is that Binner’s cat? I heard Scoutroutes has a Labdrador but can’t recall what he calls it.

Not a racist.

A genocidal, megalomaniacal, fascist dictator.

....and a nobhead

Which, if you read his extreme views on pies  and pastry, is probably fair enough.

No people don't. took something too far? Made a joke about something that isn't funny? Crossed a line? Yep

Follow that up with the mods missing the point and using the mates rules of modding

what do people suggest to tackle the issue?

enforced sterilization, I've already said it...

Maybe there should be an amnesty called followed by a resolve for some actual legal enforcement for future disruptions - staffing up the police with some ex-army types, etc 🙂

relevant ones would all be pretty old by now - and mostly in South America

Seriously?

Get a grip!

I could have said this 3 pages ago, but I’m been having far too much fun! I’ve not had this much of a response since I suggested I was going to beat my next door neighbours dog to death with a cricket bat. I meant that about as seriously, and thought it would have been equally as apparent that I was joking. That one led to a ban, and then I started getting emailed death threats. Seriously. Which I had a right old laugh replying too

Anyway…., don’t let me stem the flow of the rightful tide of the indignant….

See. this is how it starts

Before you know it, you'll be revelling in watching the increasingly tortuous lengths of hypocrisy that the usual suspects will twist to as they become infuriated and abusive over anything you say... due to your well known fascist supporting, nazi sympathising, racist, right wing beliefs.

the mates rules of modding

Several people have accused me / us of that on here now.  Binners isn't a "mate," I've met him once probably about five years ago.

As I've said (clearly and several times now, so I thought), I ignored his comment because I knew it was a joke.  I knew it was a joke not because he's a "mate" but because I've spent more than eight seconds on this forum and therefore had a reasonable notion that he's rarely serious about anything other than pastry-based goods and crayons.

Honestly, there's some folk on here that take great delight in twisting absolutely everything we say or do in order to point-score or otherwise run us down, they could make fusilli from spaghetti.  It's gone from merely frustrating to bloody depressing.

Well, you've read the bits that haven't been modded out. Just think Bernard Manning at his most leftie insulting prime and you're halfway there.

[i]I’ve spent more than eight seconds on this forum[/i]

I said a week. Shall we meet in the middle at around 12 minutes?

OK fair enough Cougar. Even as a joke is it really acceptable was the question? Had the P____ been Jewish would it have stayed up?

If you'd like to write a comprehensive list of what we are and aren't allowed - by you - to joke about, that'd be great, sweetheart

Just to avoid any future moist PJ's incidents

In a spectacular incidence of point-missing, by quite some distance, you're still not getting it, are you? Despite a few people who did get it, having already explained it. Repeatedly!

try dialling down your frothing indignation for a second....

Here goes...... It was my attempt to pre-empt the usual hang's and flog'em brigades inevitable 'kill 'em all' posts (see above), and so the piss-taking was aimed squarely at them. Hence the extremity of the reference and the specific way it was worded

"I'm not a racist, but....."

You see... like most jokes, it doesn't really work once you've had to deconstruct it to explain it, does it?

Happy now?

Actually... don't answer that. I think I can guess.....

Its a sunny Friday afternoon fella. Lighten up a bit, eh? 😀

Personally I’d lay down a trail of lead flashing and copper pipe that leads to a cage cunningly disguised as a knackered caravan. Like a giant mouse trap, but with metal rather than cheese as the bait. We could then release them in the countryside a few miles away or, err, something else.......

Binners, do you have any suggestions?

What you posted was crass and offensive, as many have said. Common decency should mean no one has to write a list: you should know already.

Short list really, racist stuff and the death of millions of people in europe under Hitlers direction.

Has somebody swapped out your vaping juice for nicotine free?

Still not got it, have you?

Whatever you do, don't watch any episodes of Frankie Boyle's New World Order.

You may explode

How about Pol Pot - he killed millions.  Is it OK to joke about his antics because it was only brown folk?  Or Bush / Blair?  Killed millions in the middle east.  Only a bunch of  ( no I am not going to say it or even give you a clue)

Nah, he’s far smarter than you.

You posted a racist and offensive statement. You’re now pretending it was a joke. It seems that whilst not being explicitly condoned by the mods, it has been tolerated for whatever reason. That does not mean that it’s ok, nor does it mean you should keep swinging for those who call you out on it.

Ok Enough now.

Binners was joking, but it was misjudged. As is so often the case on forums it's easy to think you are just talking with a close circle of friends who know you and understand the context of your statements. But that's not the case. You are speaking aloud and beyond that circle to the general public at large and so you need really think about what you post and empathise with the general public who will 'over hear' it and make judgements based on your words.

I'm closing this thread now. I may leave it here as some kind of lesson and because I (and the mods) hate deleting threads unless we really have to. Especially where opinions have been expressed and things can be learned.
