Further to the Brexit thing, another example is Corbyn running for PM in 2017(?), offering a four day week, state ownership of energy, rail etc…loads of left wing and socialist stuff, but not extremely so. But the press said he’d ruin the country, so people started parroting that, then when you pushed them to explain why, the responses varied from “well he will won’t he” to “common sense isn’t it?”. Absolutely infuriated me.

“Just following orders” etc etc.

It’s you that is whatabouting. We could (Read:should) have defended them without robbing their land.

Further to that; it doesn’t excuse the fact that we have never returned the land to them. Bit of a process appreciated, but it would have made the incredibly difficult and moronic brexit process a bit easier.

Depends how far you want to keep going back ….English talking about Russia and Ukraine like we don’t still occupy all of Cornwall.

Have been for a while. Probably for ever. True of probably any country.

Can’t remember where it happened, but I’ve read about someone being pulled over for pulling away from the traffic lights too quick.

No. But who talks about this kind of thing?

“Reet” in Yorkshire.

This one is because when houses had straw roofs, cats and dogs would sit up there, and come down in the rain.

“The dogs bollocks” is another, same as bees knees.

Depends on context for me.

That’s a fair point actually. The recruitment industry is a shitty business.

Everyone deserves respect, provided they haven’t been a dick head.
