    Where did this piece of bullshit ‘info’ come from?

    As the thing is, like so many other scousers I’m of direct Irish descent ffs. <doh>

    Also I never mentioned the word racist, let alone accused anyone, unlike you, who’ve now directly accused me of it based on a complete lie, and which you should therefore retract. I replied to that post as I thought it was a sad indictment, as I clearly explained, I also clearly have a different opinion to you, but this is a discussion forum isn’t it? Or is this thread merely an echo chamber where anyone who doesn’t agree with the consensus is attacked with ad hominem? I have no interest in getting anyone banned, whatever goes on here is a matter for your own mods, as I’ve clearly stated before.

    As for Jamie Oliver, his campaign started 15 years ago btw, and if you do a 5 second google you’ll see the numerous magazine covers he appeared on a result of it, over the years since.

    Retract what. I said allegedly. That poster could be lying of course. I also said IF you are anti Irish. No where did I say you were. Amazing though of all the comments on this thread you hone in on mine. I don't know what mags Jamie Oliver has been on, but he certainly wasn't on the Times. Many posters from across the boards have mentioned your name and not in a good way. If you think that rashford is more deserving to be on the cover than say a war hero or the people who produced the covid vaccination then IMO you are wrong. <ok>

    There’s no ‘could’ about it, they were lying. Also if you’re trying to claim victimhood merely because of me replying to your post, as you’ve been told by a liar that I’m ‘anti Irish’, despite the post not making any mention of your ethnicity, then that’s a tad snowflakey imo, but there you go.

    Many posters, across many boards, yeah whatever mate, yet more ad hominem.

    Jamie Oliver was on the front of the Times magazine btw on at least 3 occasions that I can see. Only this was TIME magazine and the edition was about the 100 next influential young leaders.

    Oh and the vaccine creators you say, disgusting they weren’t chosen to be on the cover.

    Discussion forum, isn't twitter and the like supposed to be that but it seems that if you don't agree with the sjw's on there you are ripped to pieces....is that not the same echo chamber? Gina Carano had her view recently and ended up axed from her role, did she not have a right to her view, of course she should have but the mob went after her... everything is under attack now, something will have to give or big brother won't just be a t v show

    What’s Twitter got to do with this forum? As it goes it’s full of echo chambers across the entire spectrum. I’ve no idea who that woman is btw, or her supposed relevance to my actual post.

    I'm not offended by you or by anyones comments, I'm certainly as far from a snowflake as you can get. Fair enough regarding who has been on the cover of the Times, that was lazyness on my part, but I still stick to my opinion that rashford does not deserve to be on the cover. As for you, you say you're not all these things that have been said about you. Well I can't prove you are or not.

    This is a discussion forum, same as the rest whatever spectrum you like, we all have our opinions and are entitled to voice them.... rashford on the cover of time magazine you said he put his head over the parapet...I gave my thoughts on that in an earlier reply

    You won't win with him Oldschool. He's never wrong, picks what he wants out of comments, twists them to suit his agenda and ignores the ones he doesn't like. I made one comment regarding my dislike of rashford on the cover of the times, he turns it into a race thing without actually saying it, but I know he was inferring it. I even said that my opinion was not based on his skin colour.<ok>

    I never said you didn’t have right to an opinion though, but my question was that anyone who doesn’t agree with the consensus on this thread gets ad hominem lobbed at them, as proven again with aplomb with some of the response I’ve received here. If it’s an echo chamber, just change the title of the thread mate. <ok>

    Sorry, but that’s simply not true. I haven’t twisted anything, your post that I initially replied to was you saying that Rashford being on the front cover of TIME magazine was ‘more virtue signalling’. I asked you why you considered it virtue signalling and then others chipped in. You’ve subsequently said you hate Rashford as he’s a Man U player, and that’s your beef with him, fair enough, but I’ve no idea where ‘virtue signalling’ fits into that, but there you go.

    wow..wouldn't that be the same on any thread....if i went on momentums forum and said corbyn was a tosser i wouldn't expect agreement...etc,etc you think obviously mr rashford is a deserving face to be on time magazine and that is fine by me.....your opinion.
    as for echo chamber they all are to a degree depending on which one you go on....i'm quite happy with the title,feel free to pick one yourself mate

    your wrong there mate, i had posts pulled for a run in with that Polly as far a left wing deviant as you can get , and because she didn't win, she tired to shut me up by pressing the report button, the next day i received a post from BRB telling me some one wanted to get me banned, he and another mod read my post and deemed they were ok, however a mod on this board not happy with that decision pulled my posts. The moral of this story is to me the younger the poster the more chance there head has been turned by some lefty teacher. Guys my age were brought up to love this country. on a good note i read in the express yesterday Boris has appointed a minister to stop all these work teaches, and to have a curriculum designed by a teachers boards rather than schools, they will also look into collages and university's who ban free speech and conservatives. if banning they will lose the government subsidies and could be closed this also covers religious schools.

    don't know which mod on the Leeds board did it ,he preferred to keep anonymous, there was no name or facility for me to reply or appeal, as it was Polly to start the name calling but she didn't have the insults an ex squaddie had learnt over all those years.<laugh><laugh><laugh>
