Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).
Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.
cheers GF.

Plans to make Britain the first country in the world not to require citizens to identify their sex in a UK wide census have been branded "political correctness gone mad" and derided by feminists.
The recommendation to make the question optional was made in an Office for National Statistics (ONS) report on gender identity after it was claimed the question discriminates against transgender people.
The proposed change for the 2021 census, which is carried out every ten years,could leave Britain without an accurate figure for the number of men and women living in the country.
Philip Davies, the Tory MP Shipley and member of the Women and Equality Select Committee, said: "The world is going mad - political correctness is taking over the country. I despair."
Research carried out by the ONS found the "sex" question included on the 2011 census, which requires respondents to choose whether they...

The sad thing is it's not inspired by the EU , it's us , this sort thing is why we should be afraid in the future , like allowing foreign laws to be brought in because their people are here .

....and then there's the 'Dove racism advert', where the black girl changes into a white girl:
How racist!
And also in this one:
Nobody noticed has noticed the black girl in the photo above is using a white towel. In fact, all three girls are using white towels!
How racist!
Why can't Dove use black towels for the white girls?
Or maybe call their soap 'Blackbird'?
How racist not to!

Dove advert fuss is nonsense. In the full advert, the white girl also turns into an Asian girl. Complaints are very selective. If anything, the advert tried to be multicultural. It was just stupidity to have ignored the possibility of activists complaining.

She likely did not vote to leave the EU, so why should she say now that she would still vote to leave? The question is hypothetical from a smart ass since Article 50 has been triggered but anything to cause confusion and undermine May and her cabinet is to the benefit of the EU and the remoaners, including Sky News and the bankers. They will try to wear her down in every way possible. Any answer she gave was begging a follow up. She needs support.

How can you execute any decision properly if you don't believe in it!!!
She has to be replaced.
We can all argue about a penny on or off income tax.
Leaving EU with a huge shortfall is much more important to me.

Why does it matter how Maggie May would vote in the event of an indyref 2?
For a start, it's a hypothetical question as a second referendum isn't even on the agenda.
But, more importantly, one of the core tenets of democracy within the UK is that everybody's vote is confidential, and is of no business whatsoever to anybody else. She might be prime minister, but her basic democratic rights haven't been removed.

No, May the shrewd politician, who understands that it doesn't matter which side she supports, just so long as it's the right side.
