    I can’t remember how many times I have warned you about bringing politics onto this thread Godders, but this is your final chance before a thread ban.

    Sorry mate I can't take you seriously as I have this image of you with Johnson's cock in your mouth and your nose right up his arse.

    Please accept my apologies Chilco if I've stayed over the line too. I'll not be responding anymore to him, I've placed him on ignore as clearly we dont see eye to eye, and it's not good for anyone else to listen to it.

    Chilcs ban me if that is your wish but when someone decides to choose a name that belittles the Black Lives Matter movement don't be surprised that it is like a red rag to a bull. I am surprised that you allowed its use.

    I always assumed you were a very privileged old white male. Which begs the question, why is a (pretty ****ing harmless imo) jokey reference to BLM so offensive to you?

    It's guilt, from when he used to own a cotton plantation in 1735

    Hmm, I’d not spotted that ...
    I’m not sure “jokey reference” and “BLM” should ever appear in the same sentence

    Not a name I’d choose as it has a higher risk of portraying you as a WLM supporter rather than a comedian

    And you shoot spidermen, that's unnecessarily aggressive :emoticon-0105-wink:

    And it really doesn't reflect portraying myself as a white lives matter supporter. I support both causes, and some people really need to get a grip.

    The name was only brought up by that silly old man last night as he was clutching at straws, if you're doing the same, I imagine you want paper straws and not plastic?

    It is a dick move to name yourself that Billy regardless of your political views. People feel very strongly about that subject, literally the only reason to do that is to wind people up. I actually agree with you about most of what you've said, but the name thing is out of order IMO.

    I don’t think any subject should be off limits to humour, personally. US comic Jackie Mason used to say, “You’ll never eradicate Jewish jokes, cos Jewish people won’t stop telling ‘em”. Quite right too.

    I feel it's great you have an opinion Os. I have my own reasons for the name, but dont go saying you know the reason is to wind people up, as you clearly dont and are clearly wrong.

    I really don't shoot spidermen, but I used to want Spiderman to shoot more aften when he played for us :emoticon-0100-smile

    I'm not saying your trying to portray yourself as a WLM supporter, but it might look like you are, as it indicates that the plight of Billy is as difficult as that of non-White residents of the US ... and yes I am thinking this all sounds ridiculous, but BLM and jokes aren't easy partners

    Some people really do need to get a grip and outrageous insults and ranting on social media is really not something an old man should be doing

    I have no reason to clutch at any straws and you only expressed an opinion and I didn't see any harm in that

    but if any straws are involved then, yes, they should definitely be paper

    I know, and thanks for your measured reply. I just think not everything needs to link so obligatory, and i have no issue with others getting behind the BLM movement, i think whatever makes people happy.

    I’m going to change the name, as I dont want for people to be angered, offended or upset by it. For me, it was how I felt I was treated on here by a few people, that was all my reference was for.

    @ChilcoSaint I will try to do it now, if it is before the 30 day rule can you help? I will PM you if i need help.

    EDIT - all good is in the world. May the peace be with you all.

    (This is not related to Billy's username, I have no further comment on that, its a personal thing)

    Maybe this should be on another thread, but here we are

    Allowing people to make racist jokes and say 'we're just avin a larf' would surely be off limits to you?
    I think Jackie Mason's point about Jews telling the jokes may have been key

    I once had a college lecturer who shared some jokes with us that he'd picked up about Polacks
    There was one that went something like this

    What's the difference between a Polack and a pile of ****? There are more flies around the Polack

    Hilarious!

    Yeah, that’s not really a joke though is it? It’s a blatant insult, and not remotely funny. Most people can tell the difference.

    Humour defuses tension. So arguably, the greater the tension the greater the impact of the joke. If it’s a joke.

    True but some people have a strange idea of humour
