I'd be a bit nervous to raise the English flag on my house because I have quite a few ' foreign' young men living nearby. I don't know where they came from or who they are, better safe than sorry.

That's so sad, I can't imagine how her mother is feeling.  I hope she sues them, the more publicity the better.

The NHS is pretty much broken even with all the new diversity and inclusion managers.
I'm sure that is the root cause of today's problems.
Diversity and inclusion.
It attempts to make employment for certain specific people easier, but there are a couple of problems:

1.  Like a broken computer, it ensures employment of non-white British and 'transgenders' in a pre-determined proportion regardless of ability and qualifications, in an attempt to appear to support 'equality'.

2.  It necessitates the provision of a vast army of pen-pushers to operate this system, who benefit from generous payments which could be better spent on more qualified clinical staff.

Quote from: Diasi on March 18, 2024, 09:42:38 AMIt's to be hoped that the English don't fall into the trap of celebrating St George's Day & flying our flag, which is regarded with as much affection as the KKK flags.

Several people here fly St Georges flag, and the Yorkshire flag on 1st August.  I always fly my triclour on St Patricks Day and, so far, there have been no objections.

There was once a man from Darjeeling
who walked upside down on the ceiling
But slipped out of his shoes

Quote from: klondike on Today at 09:40:55 AMHarry saw something shiny on the ground
Bright and shiny, 'twas a pound
he picked it up with glee
But doing so put out his knee
And fell full length upon the ground
