It's been so depressing watching most people pass under the sorting hat as Asch positive. We cannot kid ourselves any more. This country would have behaved exactly like the Germans under the Nazis if we had been living under a fascist government in the 1930's. There would have been the same concentration camp guards and SS officers. Most people conform. Most people are not brave. Most people would trample over the elderly and children to get to a lifeboat first. Thank god for the few.

Yes - the last few years have really shone a light on the uglier sides of human nature.

Principles are important - I mean, it’s right there in the actual word. But not enough people get it. Even the people who are supposed to live by a code - vets; doctors; nurses; police; priests - they continue to obediently roll over when instructed to, putting protocol over principle.

People naturally avoid discomfort, going against the grain. It can be unpleasant. But going along with something you feel is wrong will surely have greater consequence for your soul. Perhaps people don’t give that the consideration it is worthy of.

Maybe it seems elitist, but I’m glad there are those of us who are built differently and aren’t afraid to say so.

I’m afraid you ladies have shown the way forward, more so than many of the ‘Men.’ Never mind ‘grow a pair of bollocks.’ Bollocks are very sensitive things and sadly, that’s been on display the last 4 years. I always say, ‘grow a vagina,’ because those things can take an absolute battering and keep coming back for more!

Next year will be what we make it, fuck the elites, let’s do OUR fucking thing, what we want, when we want to do it, and how we want to do it! HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Well said Simon and Happy New Year to you too, mate.

“Grow a vagina” - I think there are options now available if that’s your bag😉😂

Yeah - keep doing your own thing is the way forward, for sure.

I do often feel like a fucking cunt when I....get in a car....walk past the homeless....see the news....serve a very poor family in the supermarket that I work FOR.... buy more aquarium fish for my own pleasure....put a tin in the bin at work in the canteen after I've heated up soup that stands on the shelf offered free to colleagues, instead of cleaning it

One issue beautifully put, that covers the last 4 years, in a nutshell.

To ask for compassion as you kill a being against its will is a complete joke. In what wanker world is that a thing?

Imagine if we had footage of people doing that as they operated gas chambers back in the day. Videos of entitled people saying “it’s so hard doing this job….please understand”
