What about Chickenpox? I guess that'll be a violation of chicken rights and have to called something else?

That's just foul.

I know but it would ruffle a few feathers.

What's the world coming to? Before you know it we won't be able to put a golliwog on a jar of jam or send the brown people back.

Rights for whites!

Couple of weeks old or so, but didn't know about it until today, very interesting, also some of the comments are quite eye opening.

Keep it Brexity. Nice and Brexity.

None of that has anything to do with Brexit, so I don't see what you're trying to say.

But black people are not monkeys. I hope you don’t disagree.

If i was to say Gareth Bale looks like one would i still be Racist or just a Monkey insulter?

No idea what any of that means.

Nice to see my old stomping ground has lost none of its genteel charm....

Boy, 16, arrested after two teens fatally stabbed in London
https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-63777382

I used to live on Titmuss Avenue. It was shithole then, clearly it's a shithole still. My mum moved out many years back as there was a murder down the road and the perpetrator lived below her and a baying mob turned up with petrol bombs. And let's not the forget the time there was a lad hacked to death with an axe just behind our charming first floor maisonette.

Ahhh. South London....

My local was the Canterbury Arms in Brixton. One of the barman got sent down for the rape & murder of some old gal in her 80's. Kevin something, can't recall his last name, but his dad also worked at the pub. This would have been around 1980-83. Claimed he was shitfaced drunk & had no recollection of the attack. Having known the guy for a few years & seen his booze fueled rages it was possible.

Better hope this doesn't catch on. Who knows what our long-dead family members got up 400 years back!

Mind you, I think I'm safe as my family have barely got a pot to piss in, let alone an estate in Barbados.

Everyone's been a victim of something either now or in their familial past, the question is whether or not it can be monetised.

Fundamental misunderstanding of casualty figures being presented as deaths. Unbelievable!

I dunno, I do kinda see where they're coming from.

I don't think people should be directly punished for the actions of their ancestors per se, but at the same time he's only got this massive gaff in Barbados off the back of slave labour. I imagine if I were to forcibly remove a load of people from their homes and then make 'em work 7 days a week for no pay I could build up a decent nest egg to leave my children too.

I think in principle it should be given back, but if it were me I'd offer to give it back ten minutes after the government give Northern Ireland back to the Irish and Gibraltar back to Spain... et al.

And Las Malvinas back to the Argies...?

Love it. Some years back there was a schoolboy who took Tetley to task as their teabags didn't have 1000 perforations as they stated.
