The Jews, Irish, Afro Caribbeans, South Asians, Muslims, Eastern Europeans, and now, asylum seekers. I wonder which group will be next for the xenophobes.
I saw a St George’s cross on a mini roundabout in Swansea the other day. Thick as mince. Although in fairness you’d probably need an art degree to produce a passable impression of the Welsh flag with a paint roller.
I saw one yesterday in Colchester I wonder what kind of paint they use,it must be quick drying.
You seem to have invented that in your head. Noggers hasn’t referred to white working class Brits. Texters made that “simplistic, divisive” leap and you’ve jumped on it. Anyone can be xenophobic and/or racist irrespective of skin colour or social background. Some of the significant characters leading the tilt towards xenophobia and racism in the UK have been very privileged and not always white (e.g. Braverman and Patel in government, and Farage’s ex-mate Yusuf, all privileged and 2nd gen immigrants themselves; Farage himself, privileged, etc).
He is taking the piss out of people, of any background, who abuse others on the basis of race though.
lovely to see you defending your friend and his classist agenda. It's the way many 50-year-olds operate on the forum. Play the man, not the ball. Still ....
The example he gives as a xenophobe is, 'Have another Stella and go and shout at a hotel, or something'
I doubt very much Braverman and Patel and his ex-pat demographic partake in such activities. don't you? So he is not taking 'the piss out of people of any background', he is targetting his favourite scapegoats - the white, working class.

I haven’t played the man at all. I just pointed out that you’re misrepresenting what another poster has said.

Zapers is a lovely bloke.
I have met him. Nice guy yeah. I keep in touch with him on WhatsApp. Cant say I've ever met a TWTD poster actually who wasn't a nice person. But then there's a lot I havent met!

Politically we came at things from different angles, but I had a lovely interaction with him not long before he was banned.
The gist of it was our acknowledgement that you can still get along with people whatever their views.

not really. Noggin has a history of taking a cheap pop at the working classes. As I pointed out - and you have conveniently ignored - stella drinking and shouting at hotels is probably not what Bravermann and Patel and his ex-pat community do.
It-s quite clear who he blames for the ills of society (and it aint the middle-classes).
Still, it's sweet how you are prepared to defend him and his classist agenda.

"It-s quite clear who he blames for the ills of society (and it aint the middle-classes)."
Nope, I have always made it clear that I blame the rich and their enablers, including Braverman and Patel. It's in their interests to stoke the flames of hatred.
Oh, and please could you show everyone where I've taken 'cheap shots at the working classes'? I mean, I can almost guarantee you that I grew up in a poorer household than you. I served for 12 years, as a junior rank, and I've been a paramedic for the last 26 years. I make that, pretty working class, don't you think?
That’s attracted the disapproval of something called ‘bluebudgie’ with its usual mute downvote.
I assume it’s some sort of Norwich/Ipswich hybrid with a beak in each camp, seething away quietly at the erosion of indigenous white privilege in a half and half scarf.
Come on, don’t be coy, tweet up and share your concerns, we’re all friends here…
Be patient Al, it takes time to write a well researched and articulate response. Bluebudgie will give us his thoughts soon.

Stop stereotyping the working class mate. Some of us feck1n hate Stella and barely ever drape ourselves in some sh1te flag and shout at hotels

Come on, you let the cat out of the bag, on this occasion, with, 'Have another Stella and go and shout at a hotel, or something'
I suppose next you'll be saying - to try to undo what you have revealed - 'I went to live abroad to further my plumbing and brick-laying skills'
You've shown your true colours, why try to cover that up now?
