Mad Hug I was brought up in a town centre pub in the 80's. I saw loads of people beaten to a pulp because they looked or acted differently. I remember my gay friend Annie getting hospitalised because according to them she was taking wome away from decent blokes. Mad Anything like that makes my blood boil and I nearly got into trouble loads of times for stepping in. Eeker I'm sorry that Charlie went through this but it doesn't make me think he's a better person for having suffered.

There are stories every day about people being attacked for totally inane reasons by "decent people" - because they are gay, black, Asian, Emos, Goths, or in the case of my son, for having a pony tail and being American.

Gotta love the BNP.


Horrible it is, I despise these 'decent people'.

mine were before the BNP but they were of the same "mindset" WE dont want YOUR sort around here, despite the fact that not ONE of em even knew me, AND that I would NEVER do that to THEM,
but my "incidents" I blame squarley on the good old British media, see back in the 70s and 80s if you wore a leather jacket and rode a motorbike then you were a thug and therefore "fair game" for "decent" people,
a copper even said to me, "I must say its a "nice" change to see one of "your lot" getting it for once" Nod

OHG I spent many of my Durham years drinking in the Angel in Durham, and saw loads of that rubbish going on, going in to other bars in Durham and getting 'crap' from the miami vice set.

Two mates got arrested and beaten by police because one of them had stubbed a ciggie out on the pavement, they disputed it and won the court case.

Unless you or someone you love has been through that, people just don't get it. A couple of years ago, there was a young man, Anthony Walker who happened to be black, was beaten to death by some "decent people" because he DARED to have a white girlfriend.

It's ironic isn't it, that America has always been perceived to be such a racist country has elected a black man as President and here in Britain, we elect a BNP MEP to the EU?

oh the "tales I could tell, dunno if its cause I am older now and dont frequent such places as often now, but it doesnt seem as bad as it once was,
one tale though, once on a night out in Stoke my self and about 5 mates walked around a corner to find a bunch of "heroes" kicking 7 bells out of a guy AND HIS GIRLFRIEND, cause they were "bikers" seems they werent SO brave when the odds were the other way around Big Grin

This swine flue you're suffering from sounds remarkably like manflu you know. Wink Big Grin

Meanie.

Can I just reassure people that the UK person who has just been reported on the news as dying from swine flu isn't me. I'm probably on my last legs, especially after doing a 12 hour night shift last night, but I'm struggling on. Frowner

What is it? I just don't get it, I really don't. What is this obsession with "decent people" having a go at someone who doesn't fit into their narrowminded, bigoted box? The target now seems to be the emo/goth people. That really gets to me, most of that group are trying to save the planet and are being beaten (sometimes to death) because they dress in all black?

Are they criminals? No. Are they hurting others? No. They might not be paying members of the BNP, but they sure as hell act as though they are.

Yep. He was in a coma for ages and missed his girlfriend's funeral. It happens way too often.

I really, really don't understand where all this hatred comes from. If Joe Blow down the street wants to worship the full moon, what business is it of mine? He's not hurting me, my family or others, so what's the problem?
