They're going to have to put Churchill in a box again, like they did over the summer. That's what he gets for being dead. I just remembered when the Churchill statue was in the box and somebody left Mini Rolls and other cakes on the ground next to it. Offerings for the ancestor.

Some bizarre posting in the last few pages. JA is quite right that there is a bunch of ageism expressed here from time to time, pages 76-78 are a good example. I know it's tempting and cathartic to just blame the over-60s for the country being poo poo, but I feel like the thread has gone full AshCrimson with pensioners in place of the English. Try and recall the much repeated arguments on why blaming every English person for the Tories is probably not fair and maybe see if there are any parallels here.

NotJustANumber99 posted:relax on this I think. You look like a nutcase. Vitamin P dropped a shitload of transphobic poo poo on our trans comrades here, not even to mention their previous history of racism and sexism. They have then applied the most passive-aggressive internet move possible which is not to apologise, or even continue defending their statements, but instead to just lie low for a little while (literally just an hour or two) until the conversation moves on and then join in with the discussion as if nothing ever happened, taking advantage of the fact that on the internet it’s easy to forget exactly who’s saying what. It’s not unreasonable to actually remember that poo poo. And you wouldn’t tolerate it if you were physically together.

Yeah, I know the people in this thread aren't a monolith and I'm not trying to call anyone out (except Ash I guess - sorry). But I didn't really see anyone else pushing back either. Obviously owning a house you're having difficulty selling is a problem a lot of us wish we could have and I have unkind thoughts about older people's voting habits too sometimes. I just try to bear in mind that there are quite clearly comrades and folks struggling in all age groups.

Speaking as someone who occasionally jokes about my own (relatively young) growing age I do agree that the demonisation of the older people isn't fair given we have comrades older than the thread average who have been nothing but solid and we shouldn't treat them with the disdain of "you KNOW we're not attacking YOU" with the defensiveness of someone who made a lovely joke and will accept exactly zero feedback on it.

I'm alright having a go at 45 to 80-year-olds who think they fought in WWII, that being the most important demographic in the UK by column inches and political pandering.

If you specifically mean the "boomers who say they fought in WW2" specifically then I agree, that's funny, but remember quite a few of those lads were bigger Corbyn/socialist labour supporters than said boomer wankers

Yeah I think you've understood what I meant, although I'll add that if I've accidentally impugned anyone who took up arms at age 4 to go and give Hitler a hiding then I'll let them off too.

I will specifically defend to the death Toddler Graham who ran out to fight Hitler only to arbitrarily die because he got mowed down by a particularly turbulent escaped chicken from up the road, ending poor Graham's life with blunt force trauma.

Imagining some hilarious mixup at the train station with a toddler evacuee and a squaddie getting on the wrong trains. Private Blenkins blowing Mr Tummnus's head off with his service pistol while little Eric gets dragged up and down France with the BEF as his regiment's good luck charm.

I just try to bear in mind that there are quite clearly comrades and folks struggling in all age groups. The best I can manage is simply to avoid commenting, but it would take some dramatic changes to society before I stop disliking old people as a block. You aren't going to get me to stop thinking that because fundamentally I believe it is entirely justified, and trying to compare it to forms of prejudice I think are wrong isn't going to work, because the reason I think they are wrong is because they're... like factually wrong, whereas I think this one is factually correct. Not universal, perhaps, but if you see someone running down the street waving a knife you don't think "maybe he's just an enthusiastic knife salesman, it would be wrong to assume the worst". Similarly as I said a few days ago, I don't think there is anything wrong with people assuming I might be a murderer because I'm a man, I don't feel the need to go around say #notallmen or whatever because I find that prejudice entirely understandable. Some snap judgements simply are OK. I'm not so desperate for friends that I need to sift through a group of people who every single one I have ever encountered, at best, if they aren't openly hostile, simply can't understand my position in the world. If Ash wants nothing to do with english people because of similar experiences, well that's her prerogative too. It might annoy me sometimes but if that's her experience I can't really expect her to think otherwise just because I complain about it. That's probably just an irreconcileable conflict.

It looks like the new Children's Commissioner is going to fit in really well with the Tories*:quote:"Our response to the trauma of the Second World War was to create a blueprint for a social service system and a National Health Service that improved our lives. We have the chance to do the same again now for children," says the children's commissioner. * - Just kidding, she used to run an Academy Trust, she's as big a Tory as the rest of them
