Man with a sword

[klondike]

Turns out he is an estate agent.

I knew he'd turn out to be a wrong 'un.... 

[Diasi]

Looks like a home grown problem for a change.

Fortunately he isn't, as Alex says, he's another Johnny Foreigner.

[klondike]

Yep. I was just going on the lack of an obvious tan....

I think the police-woman yesterday was magnificent, especially as another officer had his hand virtually chopped off in front of her. We should only keep Tazers for auxilliary use. All officers should be armed as they are here and throughout Europe. A crazed terrorist with a sword can charge a Tazered officer and still kill even if hits it's target. At close range like yesterday the maniac, who'd already killed a poor little chap needed stopping with a pistol powerful enough to kill with one round. Thus other officers and citizens are not at risk for the sake of appeasing the wokes. This is now a changed world, irreversibly and exponentially violent.

I thought the same as you when I first saw his photo.

I have never in all my years heard anyone speak the words Johnny Foreigner .

[klondike]

And still you haven't although by highlighting the words I can get my tablet to read them to me. Something I shall do before I complete this comment.

Sadly it was done in a whiney female American voice. Something to play with on another occasion to see if it can't do better.

You haven't lived! 😉

Not long enough evidently .
A derogatory and outdated term .

Sorry, but why is it derogatory?

[muddy]

It's a sneering/ sarcastic  word .
Used to make fun of people who are supposedly xenophobic .

[dextrous63]

I've been using the expression most of my life, but never with any derogatory intent nor implication, but as a generic reference.  Has to be said that you're the first person who I've met who has attached an undertone to it.  Not saying you're wrong, but am unsure🤷🏻�♂️

She was! And you're right, it is a changed world.  At least response teams in cases of violence should be armed, although even if they had been, the child wouldn't have been safe. Horrific.

I say it regularly, although not as often as I used to. I've even typed the words in some of my posts here
