Now, hey.Always good for a chuckle, Longs...
You're the one that suggested the idea (yet again) for a game of 'stick a Richard' to your head.
You can't blame me for laughing, can ya?

Anyhoo, just started reading Primo Levi's 'If this is a man' - I wonder if it'll make me feel more positive about Brexit, and the calibre of the types of folk who rabidly support it and the downfall of the EU?
Thankfully, there are at least two types of human being.
Are you suggesting that because the UK is leaving the European Union there will be a resurgence of concentration camps?, extraordinary!
What's extraordinary is that you'd try and suggest that that's what I'm saying.
I am simply pointing out - again - the two types of people.
There is nothing 'special' about Brits. I used to think there was - the way we were seen as saviours during WW2, in Greece, for example, when every warring faction that moved in was worse that the last. Until the Brits came along.
But actually, the other groups - the murdering genocidal fascists, for example - were not that different from us - we simply had a different leader at that time. The Nazis were made up of the majority of the German population; the majority of the Germans are not 'different' to the majority of us Brits - we are as susceptible as anyone. There's nothing 'weird' about 1930's Germans. All these people need is an 'outlet' for their inherent hatred - to be brainwashed into believing that 'others' are taking things from them, and that all these 'others' are the same. And that's 'different' to us. A 'justification'. A way of seeing a group of 'others' as being inherently 'different' to yourselves. Without exception - they are all seen as being the same.
There was nothing 'special' about Hitler, except the opportunity (er, financial crisis) and the mild dose of psychopathy. I mean, one nutcase like that can't rule a country on his own and go on to commit astonishing genocide. No, it takes sheep. Followers.
Every second person you see on a British street would almost certainly behave the same given that power and opportunity.
And that's also what happened in Sarajevo. Nothing special about Ratko. He couldn't do anything like that on his own. And it takes an astonishingly little amount of 'persuasion' to make people kill with abandon.
All you have to do it unleash what's inside them.
Nuts? Does anyone really think like that? Do even the u-s on here consider a 'people' as being the same?
"Anyway, did you know,,, the vast majority of moderate Muslims don't want to behead the non believers...... They want the minority of radical Muslims to do it."
"Being swamped with migrants soaking up our health services, overloading schools, crowding our roads. "
"We are at risk of being overrun by a plague of locusts"
Just three comments from white indigenous Brits (u-s) on here, and that's with them trying to keep a lid on all they'd like to say.
You cannot get away from this, u-s, there are 'sides' here. On one - sharing a basic ideology - is Farage, Dacre, Murdoch, Trump, Le Pen, Ratko, and Adolph himself - Nationalism, Jingoism, Bigotry. To differing levels of course, but what's inside is the same.

I've read this post three times now, and all it does is drive home the fact that your understanding of history is as ropy as your understanding of people.
But they never have, have they?, the opportunity was there with Oswald Mosley, he liked a bit of Fascism didn't he?, but the British people didn't follow him like sheep, Maybe that's what makes the British people special. UKIP never came to power did they?, although 'Dave' was so worried they would he promised a referendum.
Aye, we're canny us Brits and no mistake, but sheep, no. The only 'sheep' I see are the remoaners bowing to their liberal elite masters. Take a bow DA.
Even closer, do you see the contempt levelled at the SNP MPs in Westminster, and the truth printed about them by the Mail and Express.
Don't worry, Sexually Transmitted Diseases happen to the best of us.
Really?The far right are slowly, by taking over the pliant media, convincing a good portion of our people that all foreigners are inherently 'bad'
Just as I thought.Longboat - What a pathetic child you are, having to alter script to make a stupid comment - but then again, par for the course in your puerile world, I suppose.
Thank you.
By implication you accept he's a humanist. And, by further implication, your nemesis.
DA, Your posts at 8-45 and 9-13 today are two of the best (and most worrying ) ones that have been on here in a long time. More power to your elbow!
