I think Naz! is probably banned as part of a program bought in as a package. Calling someone a Naz! would be dreadful, but describing the holocaust would make it a natural word to use. These things are not logical. I bet the program will let me call Pooch or anyone else a Mugabe, or an Uncle Tom, or a KK Klansman, or a fascist, or a bolshevik, or a powellite ............. but I don't want to call him anything, he's friend. Just think yourself lucky you're not ringing a headmaster in Northern Ireland who sounds like Ian Paisley and you know the next words you're going to say to Mr Boner are "erect penis". Happy days.
I think Matt and Stairs might find after much research they could allow Naz! and then some idiot will probably start using it as a term of abuse. As Matt has very wisely said before, this is the snowflake generation.
Globalisation and immigration ARE huge issues. Climatic change, economic stagnation and even destruction, and political change and decay are going to continue to prompt millions to leave their homes for destinations and lives that have NOW become both visible and imaginable to them. I bought a merino wool jumper in M&S on Thursday, where was it made ....... Myanmar ....... see me dressed in blood and flames and the hypocrisy of a Nobel Laureate, so admirable she couldn't even risk her reputation to see her husband dying of cancer ........... Globalisation is inescapably part of all our lives. Most people in most countries irrespective of their religion want to live quiet happy lives, fall in love, be cared for and when the time comes to die peacefully and painlessly. We are human.
How small a step is it from taking measures against perhaps a religious group to saying look at those gays and that pride march full of fetishists and oddballs - paedos the lot, let's lock 'em up? But I'm gay .... I can't stand kids! But he's a Muslim & he hates the terrorists. What sort of dystopian world will we create if we design it on the basis of fear of everything that is slightly out of what WE classify as the ordinary?
I wanted to leave the EU because it is simply a corrupt capitalist trading BLOCK now masquerading under the banner of a political union. I wanted to leave because I think it is unsustainable. I have no faith in anyone with as little dress sense as Mrs May. Equally none of that matters because the EU cannot and will not negotiate. They never had the sense to ask us to stay but now they want to force it upon us. And it could happen. What kind of voluntary, democratic organisation does it take you two years to leave and then nothing might be settled. But what do I know? Maybe suicide bombers do go on to eternal life and sit at the right hand of their terrible god.
So long as Ronnie Moooooore or Tim Sherwood don't get to be Chesterfield manager I may be able to cope.
