Just had a nice holiday in Spain and spent a bit too much time mixing with those stereo-typical gammon-brits aged 50-70+ that were seemingly everyone.

At some point every conversation descended into thinly veiled racism and a hatred of hummanity. Everything always ended up amongst the bingo-card-bile of dinghies, reform, wokeness anything they don't agree with or hurts their feelings, The Left, people's sexuality, pro-nouns, women's football, Brexit, "Two-Tier®", black people, political correctness gone wrong, "I'm not racist but...", "can't say anything these days"

I was left quite shocked how common it is to be such an openly awful human. I love my echo chamber and found it scarily eye-opening how widespread being such a cunt is accepted en masse by rather quite nice people. It reminded me of when Louis Theroux interviewed a paedo in the states and said it was hard to reconcile a person that he quite liked with someone who was a paedo.

I wonder if you did a Venn diagram of sympathy to the cause of Palestinian Action, Just Stop Oil, Extinction Rebellion, Antifa, it would be just a single circle  Smiley
The Guido Fawkes mask has been replaced with a Keffiyeh.

As per my post, I expect the venn cirlce could also have another circle - things that cause hurty feelings for the free speech absolutists I expect.

At Audrey's age, I'd have expected it to cost a bit more than £2 to put a bit of air in his tyres...

Which is more disturbing, the potential lie or having a husband called Moth?

Perhaps the presence of Moth explains why their story has a few holes in it.
