Look how victims of abuse by political figures, celebrities or the church gave been treated. What makes anyone think that the victims of organised gangs of any ethnicity would get treated fairly?

So the word bigot did not have a meaning prior to Owen becoming a columnist?
Whereas an accusation of being anti-English is really a generalised slur aimed at anyone who offers objectivity to a debate clearly. Can I ask you what exactly it was that caused you to use that term? What is the definition of ' 'anti English'? Personally with me wanting nationalisation of infrastructure and decent well paid jobs that would make me very pro English. But apparently not a's I get that term levelled at me too :/

I said he was convicted for putting bacon on building and died in prison which is all true. I even gave you his name so you can go look it up yourself, which you did. The point I was trying to make was that some people are dealt with by the law and some get let off. Last edited by Alf; 04-04-2022 at 12:39 PM. |

I called BOTS "anti English" because his post in here came across to me that being proud and supportive of England should be classed as a negative thing and something to be ashamed of. |

However, liberalism is of more of the centre, not really the left, and even more importantly, whether you are of the left, centre, right, or any of the extremes, it should be universally accepted that none of those political leanings are exempt from sex traffickers, rapists, or paedophiles, so even pretending that it does is pretty cynically bad faith. That said, I actually agree that maybe some fears exist, and an unintended consequence of that fear has been to provide cover for those committing heinous acts, just like fear of the powerful has protected wealthy or connected paedophiles. No one has said any differently. White Catholic priests were moved from place to place to give them continued access without accountability, so these structures/communities have always protected the abusers, so I also find it disingenuous when the same kind of folks that mocked and dismissed anything to do with metoo, suddenly find a group of abusers they are against (for some reason).

All that says to me is that his opinion of Englishness is different to yours. That's not wrong he may feel your take on Englishness is anti English. We all have a different perspective of what it means to be English. Do you feel throwing bacon at a mosque is a good way to show how proud and supportive you are of England?

I used the bacon guy as an example of how easy the average citizen is to be locked up whilst people who turn a blind eye and cover up child rape go free. That's the only reason I brought the bacon guy up, it was as an example to make a point. Last edited by Alf; 04-04-2022 at 12:56 PM. |

A flag is a flag. I don't really see anyone on the right, especially the further you go, cowering away from either displaying it or fawning all over it, so not even sure what the suggestion means.
It's just pretty immature and cringey to attach identity to a piece of cloth based on an accident of birth, which remarkably, when replaced with a hijab (which unlike a flag, people wear for a reason - however much I personally may disagree with their reasoning), suddenly people understand.

However disagreeing that someone with many assault charges shouldn't be dealt with still is not anti English.

I did also add the guy who was sent down for taking a pee next to (not on) a war memorial. I thought that was usually a Ł80 on the spot fine? |

However the love for England, the English and Englishness as a whole is just as strong.

Dropping a cig butt will get you Ł100 fine. Insulting past service personnel? That I would have thought would be more serious.

this is why i find this thread so disingenuous. Alf openly supports radical groups that have weaponised the english flag for their own racial agenda, and then creates a thread such as this and pleads ignorance

This I why I feel more strongly about the memoral. It actually has some history and meaning. I can connect to it more than a flag.

BOTs is Scottish though I woudlnt expect him to wrap himself in St George I agree with you about the flag, if you can wave round yellow and blue like they did at the Concert for Ukraine there is no reason not to be able to wave around your own flag without being called a bigot
