Like everything amplified by social media, I suppose. I wasn't saying they were being restricted. But punishing people for using a term that was fine a year or two ago but is now usurped by another term? I'm sorry, but that seems counterproductive, to me.

(It wasn’t Lucas) I'll be honest, I'm surprised the French aren't still doing it, the brutal shits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AshC Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 Cheers guys. No wonder the left never win an election here. Any views outside of the echo chamber and you're a dunce or a racist monster or both. It's an exhausting subject and I apologised for getting involved. That should be that. But I'm sure it won't be.

AshC Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 Sorry you feel like this. I'm as left as they come. All skeletons are the same colour. But put the boot in if it makes you feel good, by all means. The 87 final will still be one of my favourites. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperBacon Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 God, you get cancelled straight away for giving a half hearted, vague, non descript opinion on the Off Topic section of a wrestling forum these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Person A states something as fact, person B (and CDEFG) ask for an example of it, just one example, person A doesn’t or can’t give one and acts hard done by. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I already knew this (Today I Relearned?), but this has sort of shocked me a bit. That's not that long ago is it? Further to this, while that was the last execution for Murder, the death penalty wasn’t officially abolished until 1969. However, the death penalty remained in law (although wasn’t used, obviously) for crimes such as Treason until 1998 when it was withdrawn under the Crime & Disorder Act.  Edited November 17, 2020 by WyattSheepMask Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
