lol EMDEE

I'm quite into the psychology aspect of reality soaps.
By basically re-framing everything. all anyones going to be talking about is racism, Nick Griffin etc etc
Every other political issue will disappear from the radar.

It's actually really well done. I may be horrified by the intent, but I can appreciate the slickness of it all.

Mary, I asked you because I was interested in hearing what rights you thought your daughter had that you didn't have. I didn't ask 3 pound 73 because I am more inclined to think individuals are losing rights rather than gaining them, there and here. You say your daughter has more rights, but I wonder if she'll have the same right even to raise her own children in the way she see's fit, as you have been allowed, but less so I believe than your parents were allowed.

There is wording or lack of wording in local, state and world agendas that can change everything and might not turn out to be the wonderful thing it was sold as.

Seems to be developing a bit like Speaker`s Corner. :?
I note that some wag after the broadcast said that none of Griffin`s supporters would be watching as they would be watching X Factor.

But if you only go seeking out the evidence for what you think might be the case, you will never get all the facts. And then it becomes harder to know what is true, and what is simply whipped up fear and hysteria, fabricated by certain sections of the media.

Prejudice and bigotry wither under the glare of consistent scrutiny based on hard facts. What facts do you have that tell you that rights are being lost?

does sound a bit vague, in my view.

Agreed EMDEE - he was exposed well on these points, and had to wriggle furiously trying to 'get off the hook'. The piece when he didn't know why he thought what he thought, why or when he had changed his mind, and how he couldn't say because the authorities in France or Germany might press charges was just bizarre. :shock:

lol LR & Mary G

having slept on this and woken up to read the morning reviews ... it's all been a bit predictable has it not ?
... much ado about nothing, and sensationalist headlines that were probably written prior to the show.

If the BBC are having Griffin on again, I suggest they issue him with a cape & give him a moustache with twirly bits at the ends.
He also needs to work on his evil cackle ... and must end any points he does make with MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHA ....

The audience must be kicking themselves that at no point did they manage to shout "he's behind you ... boo hiss"

8 Million viewers reckon the BBC !!! ... almost the same as Strictly Come Dancing ... But X factor still out in front by at least 2 million .... did Nick pick the wrong show ?

(I've decide to just Twitter on here now .. we'll see how long that lasts) :@

If you read what I put, it was that I watched the FORUM for months NOT this thread. So I was not aware there was the risk of being very rudely treated. Nevertheless, it has been a bit of an eye-opener. Thank you for your hospitality Mary. Thank goodness the people of Kintyre are not like the ones on this forum. I'd like to be rude back to you but in all my long years, I've never been rude to a lady and I wouldn't want to start now.
If I was going to stay on here, I'd have started a new message 'thread' if that's what it's called - on Why are the forum members so suspicious and distrustful of everyone?

I'm not being rude btw. I feel quite sad about all of this. I really came on to share my childhood stories but ah well.

I don't know why that should be Gallus but I wouldn't take it to heart. When I made my first posts it was remarked that I'd been a member for some considerable time without having posted and even suggestions at dual identity!! I actually thought the debate you were involved with was both healthy and interesting so, Carry On Posting!!

Q;- What's the difference between Nick Griffin and Adolf Hitler?

A:- One's monoptic and the other's monorchic.
