    Doesn't make it alright

    Too right society is at far more risk from the crooks running Tesco's or BP than immigrants or people not sure of their gender.

    I don’t who the elite are now. The only political party in the UK that was able to change the status quo was the Labour party by giving the working man something for his vote ( at least after the second world war ) . However the Conservatives have taken this and ran with it. Control now is more...

    That’s most certainly nothing new. Wasn’t organised religion supposed to be the ‘Opium of the masses’ . Then you got the cinema and football then TV all supposedly to keep the proleteriate in line and not thinking too deeply about their role in society. Now there are internet forums that deflect...

    Society didn't collapse because of Elvis and his negro music nor because of the Beatles and their haircuts or because of the Sex Pistols etc etc. Yes Love Island or I'm a Celebrity are I presume absolute crap ( I've never seen either) but they aren't going to destroy society. I'm pleased with...

    The Sweeney is most certainly far superior to what is on TV today to me. However not to my children and that is the crux of the matter. We are our parents and grandparents looking at todays society and shaking our heads.

    Just watching the Sweeney on TV. It's a real barometer on how things have changed in the last fifty years.

    I’ve seen it too. The bloke was looking to provoke. I had a Jewish friend whose family were market traders on Petticoat lane. I went to meet her one Sunday and i was absolutely gobstruck at the number of people wandering around in Jewish garbe with their little pigtails etc. Something i was very...

    Racism isn’t confined to us whites. In Kenya mixed white/ black people are called nusu nusu or half and halves sometimes they called mzungu fake or fake whites. Racism generally is ignorance. Ignorance isn’t neccesarily stupidity.

    Why? it’s what my Grandma reckoned. However they actually are casteless. Not because of their white/Indian mix but because my wifes father married a caste below him. Both my wifes parents were doctors however my wifes father was Brahmin and his public school educated wife was of a lower caste...

    A Forest? I have to say hearing ‘Killing an Arab’ ( Israeli national anthem ? ) on the John Peel ( dodgy character now ? ) was a life changing experience to me.

    Doesn't make it alright

    We were very racist in our house in the seventies etc. Because we’d never seen a black or brown person. When i went away to school i came across the odd Indian or Black kid and their lives were made miserable. Then i met and married an Indian and we all worked out ( my family at least ) they...

    You have to look at the demographic of farmers. Generally 50 years old plus i’d reckon 99.9 % white mainly with a right of centre viewpoint.The views on TFF will be the views of that demographic. My kids have a different view of things to what i have. They will often tell me ‘ You can’t say...

    Really? Unless they lived in early 2000’s Zimbabwe that really isn’t true.
