I feel your pain Bob! Self-employment can be great, but there are some bad downsides too....
No, I have given my thoughts on this and will move on. It's just a shame that posters think like that. I come on here to debate, yes I can be a pain in the arse sometimes but I like to keep it non-personal. If I have stepped out of line in the past, I have always sent a PM to that poster to apologise.
This politics thread, like Brexit is divisive but what I have read tonight is disappointing.

Absolute bull Goldy. I said people have an anti-islam agenda. Islam is not a race. It is a religion. People of many different races are muslims. The only person mentioning racism is YOU.

I agree with you Stainesey. I only go near a church if there is a party involved, christening, wedding, funeral. But, I respect everybody's right to worship whoever they want. We are all human beings and every single one of us is as good as the next one no matter what religion, nationality or skin colour we may be.
do you think soBig scoop for Brexit-Warrior-Steve
wow
how about what he put up
or did you not get past the funny name
Ok, hands up, I'm anti-Islam. I'm also anti-Jew, anti-Catholic, anti-Protestant, anti-Hindu, anti-Mormon, anti-Scientology and any other organised religion. However, it's not the people, but the doctrine and rhetoric that they spout, the rules they lay down for their believers. It's the alienation of non-believers, the snooty, 'look down their nose at me because I'm an atheist" ****ers, the bigots who won't shop in Asda because it's got a green logo, the zealots who think it's their right to occupy land thats not theirs, the mullahs who.preach hatred on street corners and the maniacs who believe their tripe - it's these people who I am anti-. I don't particularly have issues with the silent majority who find comfort in some imaginary, mythical being and they don't deserve to be vilified for their private faith, but if they start pontificating then tthey deserve my disdain.
West coast of Scotland - yes, I lnow people who do. Areas like Larkhall, where Asda was refused planning permission and Lloyds Pharmacy had to get a new sign for their shop, in blue, aa the green one kept getting vandalised. Or phone operator Orange, who had to rebrand in NI because it offended one side of the community, and their towers were being targetted.
****ing pathetic
The future is bright
For **** sake, are we as a human race THAT backward
I avoid ASDA, but that’s ‘cos they are being ****s to their staff.
Unfortunately Corbyn has to brace himself for about 6 weeks of increased mud throwing - and so we will have daily reports from the right wing press about how anti semitic he is, and about how he harbours a nest of Trotskyists and Marxists. What this does tell any thinking person is that the Tories have nothing else to argue with - stripped of this mud throwing the Tory manifesto would be reduced to 'Let's get it done' - which is not enough to cover the first page of it (the rest of it is empty). Being anti semitic on a racial level would imply being against the entire semitic race (which the Arabs are part of as well) - so how can a supporter of Palestine be anti semitic ? I think it's fair to say that Corbyn has a problem with right wing Zionist nutters - but he associates with left wing Jews (who are also against right wing Zionist nutters) - if he were anti semitic he would be against all Jews, purely as a result of their ethnicity and religion, which he isn't. You cannot stifle all criticism of the actions of the Israeli state by calling it anti Semitism - although many right wing Zionists would like this to be the case. Apparently it is anti Semitic to suggest that Zionism could possibly be a racist enterprise - they can label themselves as 'God's chosen people' but object when someone suggests this could be racist !
