Welcome back FEL-699.
i.e. a typical senior British politician.
Talking about leopards not changing their spots, I am encouraged to think that the Mail, Express and Telegraph are still as they were in the days when their front pages facing me across the London Underground made me want to set fire to them. I don't really want to overturn my own prejudices. Does the Express still call itself "The Voice of Britain?" Is the empire still alive in the pages of the ...
I think of racism as just one form of prejudice against people who are "not like us". I call it "otherism" for that reason. In that genral form, it encompasses prejudice against women, homosexuals, or people from the next town. It is a pretty universal human fault, easy to spot when you disagree with the sentiments expressed, sometimes more difficult to spot in ourselves. I think it is the most ...
Dawlish Man, Do you consider it more ridiculous than voting for a party that would not represent me or voting for a party only because I dislike others more?

I think that you are being a little unfair to maricon99, guys. Even if the poster does not wish to name the person concerned, the post serves as a reminder to all that local businesses need their customers in order to survive. Even without a name, we all know the places where we receive a friendly reception and those where we do not.
The excellent link provided by Wild Ash a few days ago included a map showing the erosion over the period 1851 - 1962. link repeated I know that Dawlish Man read the document but, much to my amazement, I discovered that I could post the map here for other forum users. Those seriously interested really should read the sections from about halfway down the page covering the erosion, previous storm ...
