Maybe there is value in having someone who sticks their head above the parapet and challenges popular emotive bills. There’s no way of knowing they are right if you’re not allowed to question them. Would be nice if they read…[Read more]

And I have to say I am utterly appalled. I’ve not seen the elephant death yet and not sure I want to. But the crocodile. When the American shoots it from two meters in the head “oh yeah motherf*cker” then immediately talks of taxidermy. Just disgraceful.

How these guys can have so…[Read more]

In a sense I agree but I have no doubt my parents (wartime) generation were more stoic and, yes, generally tougher. But that was a product of the times and we are more fortunate.

@mark1 The war generation were certainly different, as in my grand parents, who were born during WW1. They were content with less, appreciated the small things in…[Read more]

If one of those is finite you can’t guarantee to win. You have a certain odds of being up after so many days, which declines with time. But as ‘potential’ profit increases with time, it’s the human factor that ultimately makes it unwinnable.

Is it ? or is it in a small proportion of the 2% strawman katy used above (that is a small proportion of the small number of false accusations)? Genuine question, I don’t know.

Do they ever playfully refer to children as monkeys? Do they actually use monkey as a racist insult?

Seems to me that the answers are crucial to judging possible racism. Anyone familiar with the culture?

On a different note, I have noticed that the Nando’s…[Read more]
