But I'm a traitorous republican) I passed the Palace last night and apart from a few bored looking polis and the flag flying at half mast I didn't see any flowers. I can't believe Edinburgh doesn't have any buckled Royalists who would leave a tribute so do the staff remove any flowers at night? Drove by earlier too (was working on Easter Road). Two Police standing at the front gates, two cars parked at the side and a bunch more police patrolling the street. Not a single mourner.

This is as fkn stupid as white people compalining about black people calling each other the N word. -3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

velo army Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 I will say in G's defence, that if you are a Catholic (and "lapsed" counts too) then using "bead-rattler" is fine. He may have used it for provocation, he's certainly a bellicose poster, but I for one am not at all bothered. I never heard of it until I was about 16 but my mate got called it at work and thought it the funniest thing he'd ever heard. I was in bits too. My da has rosary beads in the picket of all his jackets (every.single.one) and whenever I hear the term I remember my old school pal and think about my eccentric as f**k auld man. It was an attention seeking post. Best ignored rather than engaged with. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The two documentaries on BBC and ITV at the same time both had less than half its audience. I suspect the media has spectacularly overestimated how many people are interested. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Media in general has become a lot of what they think should be done and said whether anyone's actually interested For instance the biggest news in the world currently continues to be what's happening in Myanmar Barely reported Edited April 11, 2021 by Binos 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, you did report it, right? You wouldnt just quote it to complain, would you? I'm reporting f**k all, I'm no grass. But I will point out if someone has posted something that I strongly disagree with. As I'd expect others to do likewise to me. We should (and I stress "should" here...) all be adult enough to listen to criticism when it's merited. That's how discussion forums work. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
