There. Resident WHO political commentators and gurus can knock yourselves out in here and conduct your endless bickering. All other threads will be locked.

I think it’d be a win for everyone if you just ban Pickle. It can’t be good for his mental health to get so much abuse day in day out by so many people, no matter how much seems to crave it. It would certainly take away the black cloud he swamps over every thread he appears on. Should have happened 10 years ago.

Ban picjkle and he will close WHO
Pickle gets WHO closed down and self-righteously walks off into the sunset:

Whenever the grooming gangs from up north have been discussed on here, Pickle has jumped on anyone daring to express anger at the shocking state of affairs that enabled it to continue so long, labelling such posters ‘gammon’ and racist.

A tiresome, pathetic retort as well as unfounded and insulting.

l’d suggest it IS also downplaying the shocking crimes committed against minors.

And yet when abuse comes his way, there he is running to the mods and threatening to get the site closed down.

What a mark of a man.

She really needs to speak for herself when expressing the view that strong opinions about important local matters cannot be understood in a broader social and geopolitical context by working class receivers. And then she proceeds to misrepresent the position as "minimisation" of the matter. Well, it's nothing but absolutely gross Daily Mail/Sun-style dumming down of any kind of educated standard on the assumption the working class will buy it.
Patronising??? Hahaha your lack of self awareness is staggering.

What exactly is a “comformable” mind”?

I’ve heard of “conformist” but to accuse me of that would be put together with your claims I can’t use English properly, have lost my wife to a karate instructor or have brought up my children to be racists.

Yes, I think “childish bickering” would cover it.

More than 100 women & girls were sexually assaulted on NYE ‘16. The perpetrators were largely North Africans.

Pickles response is not to condemn the disgusting men who did it (of their own free choice) but to blame Russia with some mad conspiracy theories.

Funny ol game this Internet lark. 
A person who consistently and openly defends certain nefarious characters gets called out for his twisted views and goes squealing to the site mods and within hours, all kinds ok warnings are being thrown around. And yet the 'victim' openly issues death threats in full public view and not a single feather is ruffled.

Still, nothing changes, we know what we know.

I find it very amusing that you talk about moral panics and brainwashing of the plebs, but cannot see that yours is precisely the kind of highly conformable mind that cult leaders love to exploit.

Nurse Ratched" wrote: 04 Jan 2025, 12:30 When Pickle says 'moral panic', what he really means is ghastly, thick working class people having strong opinions on things that affect their communities. But who cares about them? They don't even have degrees in sociology,  so how can they understand what's good for them?
You really have no mandate to speak for anyone.

You mean after you went crying to the mods like the absolute wet wipe you are? Happy to give it out but run off crying when it comes your way.
 
 
Some years ago. Pickle went through a brief phase of accusing me and my family of being IRA sympathisers. I shrugged it off. I didn't go crying to the mods, because I'm a grown adult.
