Brief Encounter is a masterpiece of motion picture, it's so atmospheric.
It's not cool for a man's man like me to like such a film, but it's one of my all time favourites. If you've not seen it and like film, you should watch it, this St Valentines day. And that's all I have to say on the matter. Last edited by Alf; 08-02-2017 at 05:09 PM. |

The point stands though, that it's a piece of hearsay in a newspaper that is fine by Livia because it confirms her predisposition to believe the testimony of "poor old men" over that of ... Others. I mean of course, when it's a case of one person's word against another's, it's only logical to automatically believe the accused. That's just good law practice. |

Subsequently it is alleged that staff at the visitor centre were telling people who kept asking about the clock that it had "broken" down rather than give the real reason, shocking

"Members of the trust interviewed a number of witnesses about the incident"
Ffs LT, that's from your own link. Selectively choosing to cut it out of the part you chose to quote, because it doesn't fit in with your preferred narrative, doesn't mean it's magically deleted from the article too . |

Do you think I say the stuff I do on here to staff or customers at work? Nope. Because I would end up facing disciplinary action. I appreciate that coz I'm not an entitled li'l snowflake like Ol' Clock Bob. |

However you want to spin it; the "out" vote at Brexit was a big neon sign to certain members of the "older generations" saying that it's now OK to rewind time back half a century and let out the decades of hateful bile that they haven't felt confident in expressing. |

It just doesn't seem like the most likely explanation though, does it? Scenario A) We assume him to be a lovely old gent is having a quiet musing with a friend about history and the differences with a modern situation. Someone overhears this mild conversation, and goes out of their way to make a complaint to staff, even threatening to get the police involved because of racist abuse, simply because they are "vile" and have decided that - of all the low key racism they no doubt experience every day - this one minor incident was the one that really got to them and made them want to approach law enforcement. The company then decided to get rid of him immediately, because they are also vile and some sort of immigrant sympathisers PC gone mad PC gone mad, and even invented false witnesses as justification. Scenario B) He was spouting obviously racist garbage, was reported, several real witnesses confirmed it and they had to let him go. He played it down to spare himself embarrassment. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occam's_razor Last edited by Toy Soldier; 08-02-2017 at 06:37 PM. |

Personally I feel it was the usual over-sensitive type set on making an example of anyone who dares express an opinion different to theirs. An old man was an easy target? |

The trust just don't want some alf garnettesque outbursts in their visitors centres, which is perfectly acceptable.

If there were other witnesses and he was loudly shouting racist abuse and not just stating his opinion in a private convo then his employers probably took the right course of action.

Really, so you expect an old man in his seventies who grew up in a different time to move on in these progressive times but don't have the same expectation of Muslims who come here and refuse to move on from the sexist controlling ways they grew up with. Why is that no surprise!

No, that sounds different as he was being physically threatening. However the way that made you feel makes it difficult to remain unbiased on this in my opinion.
