If anyone needs to see why our 'Great' Britain is losing so much respect around the world faster than a hot knife through butter, here it is. Mad stuff like this being forced down everyones throats.

We invented likely more than half the great stuff in the world currently over the last couple of hundred years. We saved Europe twice. The world actually loved us and respected us for all that.

Does anyone truly believe that they respect us for this? Or even believe this is going on everywhere else?

Edit, deleted post, can't comment, fear has won.
Edit 2, for clarity, not of you M, but 'they'.

What you scared of, fear of what?

That photo was taken from a Faceache post yesterday on some comedy page where it was getting ripped to bits. It gained 3k likes I think, mainly angry or laughing faces. You should read some of the comments on that post. Nothing you say could come close to some of the stuff being said on there I'd bet.

It's 2025. It's long been accepted for decades now that being gay or of a different gender is completely normal now. So why is all this happening? I understand we cannot offend anyone. Will an elderly gentleman not be completely offended to be asked before an X-Ray if he's with child first? Does that not matter?

I'll be straight right now, If any Doctor asked me if I am pregnant before an important scan, I'd be instantly asking to go private and for a doctor that is clearly qualified. That one just asked me if I'm preggers, when I'm about to have my balls X-Rayed.

Edit... Ah scared of 'they', I see.

'They' have got Dave from accounts on daytime TV next week, he has an extreme french maids outfit fetish with a unique and quite spicy twist. He might even knock one out onscreen if anyone watching are really lucky. That will be a treat. Might solve truancy. Might scare poor old Doris into having a heart attack. But Dave has his personal story that he wants/needs/has to express.

It's hard to even fathom what the actual feck is going on these days. But it's stuff like this that is the reason we are on the most slippery of slopes as a nation it would seem. Political correctness or whatever you want to call it, gone absolutely bonkers. This seems to becoming the normal. People in other countries who formerly had the upmost respect for us as a nation, are watching all this and laughing at us. There's likely a couple of superpowers licking their lips.

Perhaps fear was the the wrong word M, but if it adds gravitas to my feelings then so be it. 'They' should feel fear, just as those they disagree with are made to, if people voice a opinion, which 'they' don't agree with.

I did type a reply then deleted it, because I was thinking things which I shouldn't be made to think, as I don't believe free speech still exists, if ever it did, and isn't just a illusion to passify the masses, just like democracy.

Eg, my sisters and wife are in reasonable jobs, it wouldn't be hard to find them or their employers via linkedinn. If it was pointed out that their brother/husband has any opinion that was viewed as other than mainstream, it may reflect badly on them, not directly of course, but in whispers, upon high where the mandate is spread from.

And that's enough for me to reframe from voicing a opinion on a public forum.

I walked the dogs today, I normally say hello to everyone I meet, I'm just like that. 1 person just looked away, another looked at me quizically, isn't it easier to smile or say hello.
Great Britain!

I understand that logic. But now I'm more super curious to what you actually typed. It must have been fruity.

So basically we no longer live in a free speech democracy. Some folks have the right to say whatever they want. But the majority must now remain silent. For fear of reprisal literally by the powers that be.

It's getting madder and madder by the day. Not you by the way. ‘It'. Only bad things can come from it. We saved Europe to keep free speech, yet within a century we then start to suppress it among our own people, about the very issues within our own country. Unless you come from certain minority groups.

Forget political correctness. This what you are speaking about here will lead to Reform getting in rapidly in my opinion. Far more than any boats landing on any beaches. The stuff going on now regarding the farmers is also incredible.

What are the odds now on an emergency GA being called sometime soon? They must be tumbling.

You can't even state facts now without it reflecting on you badly...ho hum.

So do all you maha flag shaggers feel the same now he has just sold Ukriaine down the river at the behest of dear old Vlad.Honestly we have problems I agree but saying that the orange turd or his lickspittle snake oil salesmen Farridge is the answer is just deranged and the showing tonight in the oval office against a Prseident of a country fighting for its very existence is just disgusting beyond belief.

I wasted my time checking if I'd once made any reference that might make you post that assumption about me, I should've known better, seeing as you reference 'shaggers' kindly feck off.

Fwiw, The minute Trump mentioned mineral rights I thought you'd need boots on the ground to protect them, then a few days later T says no one will mess with us if we're there protecting our rights. Clever way to circumvent NATO military restrictions. Any which way you look at it no one actually gives 2 hoots about Ukraine but it's good to virtue signal. The UN & NATO have stood by and are standing by while atrocious are still being committed around the world but as long as there's a resolution that makes us all feel good, that's ignored by everyone...carry on regardless as if doesn't really affect us
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
