BigC Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 Quite pleased this morning to find myself in second place on the 'mums' debate with a whopping -35 as it stands! Woot! Go me! Quite a strong -18 on the Apprentice thread too, I think I'm leading the kickbackers! I'm in third place and catching you rapidly with this one Doc.... When will this country realise that encouraging women to have a career is damaging to society? There will be the odd frumpy woman who is good in an office environment (like on The Apprentice) but most of them just sit around all day talking about make-up and boring reality TV shows, leaving all the hard work for the men. Ladies, stay at home, and look after the offspring and most importantly have kids early. It's the only way to keep Britain Great! - BigC, Edinburgh, 22/10/2010 9:56 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigC Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 My EU comment wasn't even published. Maybe I over-egged the pudding by criticizing the lack of extra funding for gay and lesbian groups. I went down that route too! I've now resubmitted my comment. Here is it for you guys as it probably won't make it either: The EU has done a lot of hidden good for this country. The working time directive means that people can't be forced to work a 48 hour week any more and they have also done a lot to promote the human rights of Gay Lesbian Bisexual and Transgender people. The open borders policy means our children can travel all over the continent and pick up work and by the same token, the wide range of foreigers coming to settle here contributes to the rich multicultural tapestry especially in London which now has a wonderful cosmopolital feel to it which was lacking before we joined the EU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although my James Caan comment has struggled to make an impact James Caan has came up trumps, 2 negative for this rather tame effort I think it's an admirable thing that James has done, offering to help these poor children have a better life whilst also giving the families some money that they so desperately need. Good to see that Madonna and Angelina Jolie's acts of generosity and charity are being repeated, I hope to see more things like this. Role models for us all. Doesn't match up to being banned though.
