Indeed. And your mother might have a more male brain.

You're obviously a bloke.

Mrs CJ has her own car. I tried being cruel and told her to use the bus but she advised me to think again. I know when to back down.

Schools have policies in place and staff with responsibilities to ensure anyone expressing opinions against minority groups are dealt with appropriately. This is good practice and the law.


Some old men do seem to be afraid of change; and incandescent with rage when someone pisses in what they believe to be the wrong pot. But they are anachronisms of no real relevance.

As Weeksy said, it's like using the term "Pakki". It was never good; but now it's absolutely not tolerated. And rightly so.
Lefty liberal nonsense.

Weeksy can get away with whatever he likes.

But for you to suggest that arguing against the mutilation of children is "like calling someone a Paki" is despicable beyond words.

Anything lefty liberal cunts don't like is called racist. Empty headed brainwashed bollocks.

You are dead to me.

You might see it as lefty liberal nonsense; but it's good practice and what goes on in most schools.


I suspect the LGBTQ+ community would rather confused old privileged cis hetero white men didn't take it on themselves to decide what's best for the LGBTQ+ community.

There must be quite a few confused old privileged cis hetero white men in the “community.”

The community would also like the LGBQT+ tail to stop trying to wag the dog. We don't care what you do, just stop trying to recruit.

Re recruitment, the ONS say:


The proportion of men identifying as LGB was 3.8% in 2022, up from 2.4% in 2017; the proportion of women who identified as LGB was 3.0%, an increase from 1.8% in 2017.

The proportion of women aged 16 to 24 years identifying as LGB increased to 10.6% in 2022; the proportion of men aged 16 to 24 years identifying as LGB was 7.9%.


And by recruitment, do you mean homosexuality is something that can be taught so that heterosexuals will permanently change?

Or do you mean 'stop recruitment' as their advertising etc should be banned?

Does “identifying as” mean they’re not really L or G or B?

Anyway, I’d subtract the men claiming to be L, from those stats.

It's no secret that I live my island and very proud to be part of it.

But just found out that cock-fighting is legal. Really upset me.
I can't change it, so will just have to put it out of my mind

These days we call it 'frottaging'.

Seriously, why not try to change it? You have representatives of government, right? Use that to try and make the change. What's the worst outcoming of trying?

I'm sure the Spanish would appreciate an incomer trying to change their way of life. Bit like all the Brits over here up in arms about the hunting.

Unfortunately, when you are not a local, it's more difficult to make complaints, especially about something that the 'natives' have done for years. Not necessarily right, but just the way it is.

I wouldn't advise any incomer to go out to try and change something like that - unless they can find some Spanish that agree and work with them

Anything is possible. A Brit just won the Spanish Scrabble championship... despite not being able to speak Spanish.

Are they allowed Aztec proper nouns?
