Title: I feel like triggering someone....
Post by: STEMO on 16 December 2024, 19:59:33
Opti, read this:

From the Telegraph
"A convicted terrorist is suing a pub called The Saracen’s Head Inn over its “deeply offensive” sign.

Khalid Baqa, who was previously jailed for distributing jihadist propaganda, is claiming £1,850 over the depiction of “a brown-skinned bearded Arab”.

Saracen is a term used to describe an Arab or Muslim, particularly at the time of the Crusades."

He’s got his work cut out, there are hundreds of Saracens Head public houses and they nearly all bear the bearded Saracen or a sword. Maybe he’s picked on that pub to maximise his claim.  ::)
He’ll probably win his claim, as the deluded morons in charge will pay out so as not to offend a foreign national.  >:(

Oh please god, let’s hope Rae doesn’t see this. He will blow a gasket at the very least.

The world ( well Western world )has gone mad.

Ah, just as I thought, he’s suing other Saracens Heads as well. Why do we tolerate these morons. They should just laugh at him, why even give him the time of day.  ::)

Both heads severely warped 🤬🤬🤬🤬 I wish I could unleash a turret of various abuse to show just a snip of how much this shit annoys me, but I know at least 99% of you understand, it’s just a matter of time……..☠️☠️

I saw  a few women dotted around Vienna yesterday sat on the pavement begging, none to politely and somewhat whiny. All were clearly from northern Africa/Eastern Mediterranean countries.

A couple of observations came to mind...
1. They can't possibly be better off in Europe than wherever they originated from.
2. The chap playing a guitar near one woman was at least pretending to make an effort.

The UK will just continue to bow down to these uncivilised bastards mustn't offend them under any circumstances, really pisses me off how weak we have become.

What's the difference between standing on your driveway and saying what you think and doing so here?

As long as what you say isn't on work time using work equipment then they can go whistle.

Unless,.of course, that working from home makes your property an extension of company property... In which case you might want to rethink the terms of your employment.

I heard on the news today that the POS accused of the killings of the three young lasses in Southport refused to answer the question of whether he was entering a guilty or not guilty plea. This was asked quite a number  of times, but no response so the court entered a plea of not guilty on his behalf. I'd have gone the other way and told him that the plea entered would be guilty. That might have made him think a bit more about treating the court and peoples lives with utter contempt.

Yes. The immigrant who butchered young children....in court. Also the immigrant who butchered a woman on the beach...to see what it would feel like. And another immigrant, a Turkish crime boss who, haven't just served 16 years for importing massive amounts of heroin, avoided deportation because of his human right to live with his family.
Good here, innit?

Bliar and his mrs were the start of this crap! I cannot believe that WE are accepting this. Until someone, US do something about it then we are fooked as a British nation as most of us know it. I am on the south coast of England atm, and the SWIMBO and I decided to go for a drink in a local saloon, so we ordered a taxi taking our dog with us. Nope, all taxis refused to take us as all the drivers were muslim ffs.
If anybody wants to look at my profile, please do as you will get an idea why I do not like these people.
WE ARE FOOKED!  >:( >:(

You need to find a better taxi company.

There's a legitimate allergen reason to refuse dogs, some car hire places will refuse to give you the car if you rock up with a pooch. But if you've made it clear when you booked that you will have a dog with you, and their only reason to refuse you is a religious one once they have accepted the job then there's a case to be made for discrimination.

I used to take dogs, but I had a caged estate and they always went in the boot. Without exception.

Obviously my dogs sat wherever they wanted except the boot, but whose to tell the customer that ;D

DG, I did try various taxi companies, and most of them refused a dog. I was just making a point of where we are going as a nation. Thin edge of the wedge? More like the middle of the wedge already!  >:D :o

I used to work with a few that were that way inclined. It's surprising just how unprincipled they get when there's money involved :-X Next time you're in town, find a white cabby on the rank, ideally at the back of the queue, buy them a coffee and get chatting, explain what your typical journeys might be, ie to/from /dog etc, and if there's a reasonable chance of going to an airport every so often, that might sweeten things in your favour. Hackney carriage drivers working on the rank might work for a company, but ultimately are free to do what they please. If you happen to live in a different district, they can still come and collect you provided you pre-book and it's convenient to them.

But, I don't think you're too far off the mark in the grand scheme of things.

I was paying £7 a pint for frothy german beer in the market in Brumingham yesterday.  And £9 for a hotdog.  Granted, it was a 20" sausage in am enormous roll....

I am not allowed to stand on my driveway and say what I think either, unless it's inline with their policies.

Roll on retirement, I can let it all out then ;D

He doesn't see the British legal system as legitimate and therefore feels no need to show any respect. :-\

Any news on the Manchester airport episode?. They also appear to be above the law of the (this)land.

Not if you were married to a headteacher. I'm pretty sure she wishes I was dead sometimes, usually when I'm watching the news.

Yeah, you'll have to wait until she retires ;D

Though reality is, she'll likely murder you first, obviously ;D

I would tell your employer that this is the UK, not East Germany in the 1970,s.
There is no financial circumstance that would make me put up with living under that kind of threat, which may be why Im always skint ?  ::)
