General Discussion
We've never been masters of our own destiny. This country is still lorded over by the Norman Yoke. It's always been about 'Them and Us'. Cameron's 'alleged' face f**king of a dead pig symbolizes their contempt for those they consider 'plebs; and 'oiks'. Britannia and Great Britain? Wake up, this collection of nations and 'have' and 'have nots' is more divided than ever.
@ Ol Lady Biker. If they have verbally told you 'they're not in the business of upsetting people' then that needs some sort of clarification. If they are stupid enough to express those views verbally, they may be stupid enough to confirm them in writing. At the moment it's your word against theirs and it'll be hard naming and shaming them.
i don't know if being governed by the Germans would be any worse than the Norman descendants of William the Bastard who sit in Westminster to be honest.
Get something in writing, they need to acknowledge it and it needs clarification. It's a shame they didn't write a letter or email with "we're not in the business of upsetting people".
@burneside 'all kinds of nasties coming out of the woodwork'. what do you mean?
Sounds like an interesting read. More likely to be both narrow mindedness and homophobia. You should ask them to clarify what they mean in writing. I'd like to know which charity shop it is.
What's the book about? Who is it meant to upset?
The Monsanto Protection Act was designed to put GM above the federal courts, it's no different to Tobacco companies suing governments over plain packaging and warning signs. I admit we need to consider all options, but we should do so under the laws of individual nations and international law. I've already posted about TTIP and the lack of accountability, transparency, etc. It depends what ...
@S GM was on the radio yesterday. I'm undecided. The argument that we will struggle to feed the global population is actually the reality now, many people do not have enough to eat whereas westerners eat way too much. We need to talk about diet and how we in the west demand to eat meat most, if not every day. The WWF's carbon calculator is a decent tool for considering diet, lifestyle, ...
@leatash , regardless of what you think is a greater priority it is still illegal. Or are you suggesting it's okay to break the law? @ Purrrrfect. No need to get personal. I think it's sad that you have little regard for pro-environmental legislation. Stealing dog plops left all over the place? Surely it's a case of 'finders keepers'. Every day is like April Fool's on ...
