You two might be reasonable, but on the whole, older folk tend to be the ones with the outdated views surely? Stands to reason... Here comes another generalisation: people tend to harden in their opinions the older they get, whatever those opinions are. For instance my God-Parents in their 60s started as lovey liberals (like all good people) and are now hard-core Corbynistas who literally can't bare to look at the London skyline cos all they can see is capitalism gone wrong.

They do and they don't. Had the debate with them the other day - I see a city full of vibrancy too, that's old but still developing. And in any case, all those new towers going up will be the social housing of the future one day. [Post edited 4 Dec 2017 13:42]

I never once saw him post anything racist. He told me in PMs he was of mixed race background himself. "Little Englander", yes (his "machine gun refugees at the chunnel exit" etc comments.) | |

As I've said a couple of times now, So was Benters, until he decided for some reason that Taxi, Arsey and Bergholt were his new role models. [Post edited 4 Dec 2017 16:18]

I know I've said this before but I like Bergholt. No way should he be put in with taxi and crunch. Bergholt has the occasional crazy anti immigration tactic but asides from that, he's a really decent fella I think. | |

Bergholt seems to have conflicting views on some things. If you pin him down he is actually quite ok. The other nonsense is just, nonsense. | |

Sorry Ryorry, but from his comments about Calais, to various comments on terrorists, immigration and other's, he plainly and simply made very provocative racist remarks and was pulled up on it time and time again from various users and more. I appreciate you genuinely may not have witnessed these, as they quite often would be deleted by admin, but he (whether meant in jest or not) made some very, very disgusting comments and had a clear agenda when discussing race. | |

I have openly stated that he was clearly "Little Englander" - his views on immigrants etc - but his unforgiveable "machine gun em" comments also applied to *caucasian immigrants from Europe* - it wasn't to do with the colour of their skin. As I said, he told me was of mixed race descent himself (tho he called it "half-caste" - he thanked me for updating him re contemporary terminology) and had nothing against people because of the colour of their skin. Being anti-immigration is *not* the same as being racist. | |

For some bizarre reason some posters want to be seen 'apart from the crowd' because it makes them feel important. If opinion were to be leaning the other way, they would oppose it for the same reason. They don't actually read or follow what goes on, they just pluck a few ideas out of the sky. | |

Sorry to disagree with you Ryorry but that word beginning with 'r' is one of the first that comes into my head when thinking of Benters. Perhaps he is not but he certainly gave me the impression on here that he was. | | | |

I'm well aware that being anti immigration is not the same as being racist. But calling certain races certain names, which he is, is. I'm really not looking for an argument here, but even if you did not witness it, countless others have seen it, reported it, had it deleted etc etc. We'll have to agree to disagree - but please don't comment on posts of his you obviously haven't seen. | |

What a disgusting comment. Having previously always got on well with you, to say I'm "disappointed" with you for such an unjustified, unjustifiable, bang out of order, plainly untrue comment, would be the understatement of the century. | |

No, I never saw any such, as I previously made plain, which is why I asked Jeera to post up at least one so that I could see for myself. But instead of him (or anyone) doing so, all he did was downvote me. I've never been anything other than truthful on here, and have been trained to want to see evidence before judging any person. Really sad if some people seem to think that's a crime, or being egotistical. | |

*sigh* I cannot quote him verbatim, as his profile is no longer here. I refer you to my previous post. Calais The murder of Lee Rigby National holiday's of various religions Various comments about SPECIFIC ethnicity when discussing immigration, terrorist attack etc etc. It doesn't matter now, as he isn't here anymore. You said you never saw him being racist - I and others have said we did. I'm not disputing that you never saw it. There really shouldn't be anything more to it than that. | |
