Wrong

You are FAKE NEWS.

It was interesting how you this story has rattled you so much. First you try to deny its credibility yourself, then you deny the White House has denied it.

Of course you didn’t quite get that your second denial sort makes a mockery of your first denial, and just shows how desperate you are invert reality in defence of your dear leader.

Well, at least you’ve confirmed your nationality.

You don’t have be from a country to play rugby for it.

If you knew anything about rugby, you’d know that.

Anyway, what’s your problem with the English?

anon7035031 · January 18, 2019, 9:15pm

No problem with the English, have had great times there and lots of friends from there.

Sidney · January 18, 2019, 9:22pm

Really? You seemed to object quite strongly to Englishness there, and a quick search of your posts confirms as much.

anon7035031 · January 18, 2019, 9:23pm

I think you may be confused once again. Do a bit of research there and come back to me.
Take your time, I’m off to enjoy myself for the afternoon.

Deary me. From reading this article, I’d assume the author is a white nationalist scumbag.

“Why I Don’t Want Diversity in My Neighborhood”

When I made the hard decision to forgo buying a house in Dallas [and move to] Plano.{snip} I started getting comments from readers at one of my other publications about “diversity,” whatever that means. Apparently, in choosing a house in one of the top school districts in the country, in a suburb where the poverty rate is low and the median income is high, I was guilty of the high crime of white flight.

My humbled, guilty reaction consisted of two words: “So what?”

I mean, what the heck does diversity mean? Some of my new neighbors in Plano include people from Thailand, Armenia, India, Afghanistan, Hong Kong, Colombia and the Ukraine, but apparently that doesn’t count. And when a school is 85 percent white, it’s not diverse, but when it’s 85 percent Hispanic, it is?

I was scolded that my daughter, by being in a Plano school, would be sheltered from—nay, ill-equipped for—life in the real world.

Well, yeah. Probably. The real world is a lot bigger than Dallas, bigger than (Sam Houston, forgive me) Texas, and bigger than the United States. The majority of the real world is dirty, violent, poor and absent indoor plumbing and two-ply toilet paper. More than half the world’s people live on something like $1 a day.

{snip} I want a school that will prepare her for living in a professional, high-paying world so Daddy won’t have to pound out columns in his dotage.

{snip}

Seriously, if the only exposure to other people your kid gets is when she’s sitting in a place where you move about like cattle at the sound of a bell and have to ask permission to go to the bathroom (i.e. school), what kind of sheltered life are you giving your kid?

It’s weird. We’ve made “diversity” into some kind of totem, an end to itself, and we haven’t even defined what it is. Do I learn more about a different perspective chatting with my Ukrainian neighbor (whom the census counts as white), or from a guy brought up five miles from me who happens to be black?

And I’m not entirely sold that diversity is automatically good.

Look, diversity is great when it comes to nightclubs, workplaces, cultural experiences, restaurants and all that. But I don’t want diversity in my neighborhood.

{snip}

I want uniformly boring neighbors with uniformly boring, middle-class values who spend Saturdays working on their lawns and whose kids know to stay off mine. I want neighbors with Home Depot on speed dial. That’s how I choose to live. Your mileage may vary.

And isn’t that diversity, too?

Bump from September…

Sidney · January 18, 2019, 9:28pm

I’m only going from your posts, bud, which seem to indicate a deep seated dislike of the English.

anon7035031 · January 18, 2019, 9:31pm

Well, most Irish Republicans would have a historical deep seated antipathy towards the English establishment. It doesn’t extend to English people though, or at least most of them, as that would be downright stupid, but of course we know you can’t tell the difference.

Sidney · January 18, 2019, 9:34pm

Nothing in your posts suggests an antipathy towards the English establishment - in fact your pro-Brexit nature suggests a deep seated admiration for their delusions of imperial grandeur.

The overwhelming impression is of a deep seated dislike of ordinary Englishness.

anon7035031 · January 18, 2019, 9:42pm

I’m not pro-Brexit, and as I don’t live in the UK I honestly don’t give a fuck what they do.
I predicted that Brexit would win and explained why. Once again you can’t differentiate between explaining something and being in favor of something.

Sidney · January 18, 2019, 9:44pm

Ahem

anon7035031 · January 18, 2019, 9:46pm

That was then, I’ve changed my mind (people do that you know). But as I said I don’t give a fuck really.

Surprise surprise, another fully paid up member of the TFK misogyny crew.

I love women pal but you have to draw the line somewhere. She lives close enough to me here, I can set you up if you like, she seems your type.

Up your bollox @Sidney

Is Mueller denying the BuzzFeed story enough evidence for you that they are Fake News?

Here’s some actual journalism, from the finest investigative journalist in America, Kimberley Strassel of the Wall Street Journal. Sorry it’s behind a firewall, the opening paragraph tells you all you need to know…

“Everybody at the FBI and DOJ knew in the middle of 2016 (note, before the election) that the counterintelligence probe of Donald Trump (which became the Mueller probe) was based on disinformation provided by the Hillary Clinton campaign”.

What a cunt HRC was/is.
