Castration would solve the issue within one generation, but having the 'balls' to effect a solution, is too toxic for all politicians either local or national, so here we are, paying generations of worthless scum to reproduce and being lectured by a footballer that more should be done to feed their feral kids!

Am I wrong?
I'm not sure whether this post was meant to be satire or not, but if you're being serious, how do you decide who gets castrated and who remains intact?

It should be done to anyone not displaying legal re plates. Plus 3 points and £1k fine.

Anyone who can't format a post properly will do.

Taking my response to others as a standalone remark is disingenuous, don't you think?

What's your solution to stopping this downward spiral into an ever increasing need for the state to pay for everything that the feckless desires?

Not at all disingenuous.

Why have you asked me a question, rather than answering mine?

This was posted up earlier and the op is surprised at some of the resonses !


Hello! I have a black sack of mixed children’s and adults DVD’s and also a sack of mainly adult books, could anywhere use them for fundraising? Or perhaps a care/residential home? Don’t want anything for them but would like them to go to a good cause, only to be sold on for charity. Any ideas? 🤷🏼‍♀️ Thanks!

The hat is to cover the bald patches caused by stress caused to his hair follicles.

I don't think most people disagree with feeding kids. However the majority of kids aren't going hungry because the parents are skint, it's usually because they have poor money management skills prioritise other things above the health and wellbeing of their own children.

Friend of mine is a social worker and some of the full times mums are always contacting her trying to get accepted to a local food bank. She turned up at the house which had a Land Rover Evoque parked in the drive.

Then when some got accepted to the food bank they complained because what they got wasn't from Fortnum & Mason.

The left would have you believe that it is the states fault that kids are starving because they aren't paying the parents a decent living wage or topping up poor pay with enough working tax credits.
I do find the left 'nothing is ever anybody's fault' schtick tiresome. However, parents having children that they either can't or won't afford does present a fairly unique difficulty because it's hardly fair for the children to suffer because their parents are irresponsible arseholes and how you deal with parents like that without harming children, who've done nothing wrong, is a very difficult question.
I thought everything was alway the Tories’ fault?

Following on from the above my local group (in a tier 2 area) is now full of people saying you can't trick or treat because "if you do you'll be fined £200".

There are a few newspaper articles floating around suggesting the same but when you actually go beyond the headline and pick apart the details it's basically "if you don't adhere to the rule of 6 you could be fined" and "don't mix households indoors or you could be fined" (for tier 2, tier 3 is obviously more restrictive).

It's not Halloween specific but the papers and reactionary Facebookers have jumped on it and are having a right old row.

The local police aren't helping by saying "trick or treat should be avoided" and "we urge people to enjoy the festivities at home" but I do agree with them, just not the way it's being presented as a crime to do otherwise.



Now I hate trick or treat so I'd gladly see people fined and do think that it's probably wise to knock it on the head for a year but my OCPD then kicks in and tells me that none of this is law and in reality you could legally trick or treat if you adhere to tier 2 limitations.

1. Don't go in anyone's house

2. Don't gather in groups more than 6 outdoors.


So essentially if you trick or treat as a family of 6 and 1 person answers the door you're rightfully screwed, much the same if you're on your own and 6 people answer the door.

Go in a small group of people in the same house and you'll be OK.

Don't stop and chat to Mrs Miggins and the kids from number 12 when you see them in street, keep your distance, etc etc.

I mean the mechanics of passing people sweets is a whole new ball game but that's not for me to worry about.
