No, you're not a "homophobe" who doesn't believe in "gay marriage". You're a homophobe who doesn't believe in gay marriage.

I've often thought of the political spectrum as being a bit like one of those split-ring washers. Imagine the gap at the top. The best lefties are at top left, right next to the little split. You go all the way round anticlockwise, via softie left, via Brownites, via Blairites (we're already at about four o'clock), LibDems (three o'clock), Cameronites (two o'clock), the Monday Club (one o'clock), Farage (ten past midday) and the BNP (thirty seconds past midday or less). Then just think of who Farage and the BNP try to appeal to - the working-class lefties, especially the poor, the out-of-work, the disabled, the badly-housed, the exploited, the poor sods who work every hour God sends for £6.50 an hour less this less that who can't afford the rent on the lousiest bedsit in town without taxpayer intervention - cheers for that, Asda, Tesco, Marks 'n' Sparks and all the rest of the real benefit cheats - who are just the good side of that tiny gap at the top. Easy pickings for the far right. Low-hanging fruit, as they say. Just entice them to jump that little gap with hollow promises about curbing immigration (which they can't and won't and never do) and slashing benefits to shirkers (who hardly exist), benefit cheats (rare) and disabled people (probably their fault anyway, probably all just fat unfit boozy useless gits). Don't bloody blame Costa or Amazon or Vodafone, of course, who have armies of accountants to ensure they pay little or no tax. Or mega-rich foreigners who buy up millionaire mansions in London as "investments".

Where are you on that spectrum, ake? Why, you're with Farage! You've jumped the gap!

I go away for 2½ days and there are multifarious elucidations of personality analyses and awkward revelations about bus routes and letter writing habits...and "things too fierce to mention"....mostly done with wit, if not with taste. For all its ramblings, it even reminds me of repartee of days gone by.... and only a few low-key insults. Wow.... things are either picking up or backsliding in new & untraveled paths- and I'm not sure which I wish for.

Well apart from Bridge's comment that I supported Tha*tcher, which is up there with him being a paedophile, this rant about BS is achieving its aim, a nice waffle about BS.

Punkrockfolker is lying. The bloke in the witness protection scheme is signing contracts with us today. Or he would if he existed. I don't give my log in to any old bugger, just friends. That's possibly why there are only three of us.

One nice thing about BS, if there is one, is how easy it is to go fishing. I might write a folk song about it and dedicate it to our tit trousered grumpy old men.

Did I just read that the worm reckons he isn't a homophobe? That's possibly because he doesn't have the intelligence to understand what the term means. Reminds me of a daft twat in my old local pub who, when hearing the local GP practice put on extra clinics for chronic conditions and invited him to it. "I've got diabetes, that's all. It isn't chronic. I don't feel poorly."

A bit like the narrow interpretation of folk expressed by people so important in the folk field no bugger has heard of them eh?

Silly boys! Of course I don't support UKIP, hardly anyone in Scotland supports UKIP. It is almost exclusively an English phenomenon.
BUT that does not exclude them from being correct on one or two policies (that is where you all go wrong, you are blinded by ideology)
Mr Farage has been validated in his view that unregulated immigration from Europe is destructive. We do not have the infrastructure to support the influx of immigrants and have a huge pool of untrained and desperate indigenous young people who deserve a future.

Regarding "homophobia", being opposed to homosexual "marriage" does not make one a "homophobe". To suggest that this is the case is ludicrous.

BTW, has anyone any idea what he is on about, going on&on&on about my newsagent and his nephew? My newsagent is Wilburton Post Office, Cambridgeshire. I haven't been there lately, as they deliver very efficiently & I pay them monthly by post. I have no idea whether any of the proprietary family has any nephews or not.

When you get called "the enemy within" by a sitting Prime Minister, then and only then will you be fit to lick my boots.

By the way, when was I ever a socialist? I'm a dirty rotten stinking capitalist, as you well know. A bit like Scargill when he exercised Tha*cher's right to buy on a flat in London but forgot the tenant was the union, not him. The money he made on it is still, in the words of Father Ted, "resting in his account." He refused to budge when they wanted it back too.

Naw, I'm an amateur compared to your criminal hero. No matter, he daren't show his face in Barnsley these days. Too many poor fools seeing the penny dropping.

Untrained and desperate indigenous people, eh? Are you suggesting that we "train" immigrants ahead of "indigenous" people? So who's indigenous where? Me? Thoroughly English chap from Lancashire, born 'n' bred, etc.? Definitely!

Except that my maternal side came here from Ireland in the late 19th century (we were still doing great old Irish family gatherings when I was a little lad). And my dad's side... Never really looked into it, but any bets on "Shaw" having Irish roots...

Your sloppy and unthinking use of " indigenous" marks you out as xenophobic and racist. As for your simplistic view that Farage has got one or two things right, in particular with regarded to immigration from the EU, you seem to be forgetting the massively wider issues that breaking EU laws would trigger. The spike in net immigration is recent. Going from past experience, it will continue to rise and fall. But you think Farage's populist and racist nonsense should hold sway, regardless of irreversible consequences for this country for decades or centuries down the line. You really don't have a clue, do you. Farage and his crew just love suckers like you.

Oh, yes. Remember now. Thanx 4 reminder, Popgun. As it happens, I think my newsagent family at Wilburton Stores are Indian, but have never asked them. And my point still seems a fair one. Do you know everything your nephew gets up to? My mother's first cousin once did a three-er for something or other; I forget what -- it was about 60 years ago... But the relevance is that most families have their black sheep. In a Muslim family, that black-sheepery might well, in current circumstances, take form of going off to join IS, mightn't it? Don't you read the papers? What's so phobic, or even unreasonable, in pointing out that irrefutable fact?

Mike. I know what my nephew is probably doing. Ramming his arm up a cow's arse. Mrs Musket has two nephews though, and watch out, they live about six miles from you. I doubt they are terrorists though. Their Mum reckons they are little terrors at times but toddlers can do that easily.

Bit of an insult to Costa, there, old chap. Costa's a British firm, started in London in the early 70s (incidentally by a couple of Italian immigrants) with HQ in Dunstable. It's now a subsidiary of Whitbread, but as far as I know it always paid, and still pays, full corporation tax as a UK company.

It might. Then again they might be accepted for doing it. We have been here before: a hell of a lot more British Jews have gone to fight for the Zionists in Palestine (in some cases, killing British and American military for the cause) than there have been Muslims goijng abroad to fight.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahal_%28Israel%29

Did these sick fuckers get treated by British Jewry on their return as the psycho bigoted killers they were? Maybe sometimes, but it certainly wasn't their usual reception.

There are currently about 100 British people in various Zionist armed gangs in Palestine, and about 500 British people fighting for IS:

http://blogs.channel4.com/factcheck/factcheck-britons-fight-israel/18448

There are about 10 times as many Muslims as Jews in the UK, so that means, proportionately, twice as many British Jews as Muslims go abroad to kill. Currently British Muslim psychos are a numerically larger problem, but over the decades since WW2, they have been vastly outnumbered by British Jewish psychos and are only just starting to catch up.

Sorry Richard, but you have made a mistake; I know very little about Romanies/Gypsies, other than they appear to have a colourful and interesting culture.
There are no Romanies in this part of Scotland and as far as I am aware very few in the rest of the country.

What I referred to were Scottish traveller families who took advantage of their "special status" to set up a fortress in their purpose built encampment, from which they ran drug dealing and money lending to local addicts and young people.....the business was enforced at knife point....I have personally seen the results.
Like the Bradford child molesters, the police were afraid to touch them lest they be accused of discrimination, homophobia racism or any other terms you so love.

Finally the fortress was closed under the pretence of "refurbishment" and the families rehoused where they could be closely monitored.

Of course there are criminals among the Travelling community, just as there among any other cultural or ethnic group, but there is no evidence whatever to suggest that the proportion of criminality among Travellers is in any way greater than any other
There are i the region of fifty thousand Travellers in Britain - the idea that such a small number of historically persecuted and despised people are powerful enough to frighten the police or judiciary into not doing their duty is right wing propaganda in the extreme.
