Hmm, it seems to me that Labour need to connect with their traditional support base.

Time to wheel out the big guns, surely?

*******s to him, sir C- He appears to be in the remake of Whiskey Galore - HOW CAN YOU REMAKE A FILM THAT IS PRACTICALLY PERFECT?

It had James Robertson Justice in it for God's sake

It does seem very remiss of this country to have allowed James Robertson Justice to die without at least retaining enough of his generic material to clone him - or at least his beard.

One hesitates to use intemperate language, la, but the fellow is clearly a twisted deviant. Interfering with Whiskey Galore is a monstrous act of cultural vandalism.

He is often seen in the workplace of a friend of mine and always used the female toilets. I find this distateful.

What's his preferred pronoun?

Oh those ****s get on my ****ing nerves. We have an existing pronoun that is non gender specific- It. Apparently that is offensive.

Tough ****ing ****- it or that, he/she.

They want mixed toilets at work. Its not ****ing Ally McBeal....

Ally McBeal! I haven't thought of her in years.

I liked Ally McBeal. I liked the bloke who said, "Can I get a courtesy flush? I like a clean bowl."

You'll not be surprised to learn that I blame Blair for all this sort of thing. Once you start mandating tolerance of 'diversity' and policing the language accordingly, you open the floodgates for all manner of nonsensical fùckery.

Yeah, I get that you think that, b.

I think the problem is you have a generation that grew up being taught about the heroic struggles against prejudice undertaken by previous generations and they want their own. So now we have to change toilet customs for a few awkward and confused benders who cant decide whether to piss standing up.

I suggested a third toilet called 'other' for all the various weirdos and tossers. Didn't go down well.

There is also an issue with dyslexics and other blaggers using the disabled toilets which should be set aside for spaccas.

I think I am just reaching an age where this stuff annoys me.

My mother is convinced they're mostly just common or garden pooves who are sufficiently ashamed of their poovery that they feel the need to legitimise it as a quasi-medical condition.

I think she has a point.

Attention-seeking ****s is the other main possibility, plus the modern desire to play the victim. When did being a victim become an aspirational thing?

Certainly, but it was the weakening of more traditional values that opened the door for it.

It certainly got a boost the 90's, when PR firms were hired to cast specific groups as victims needing military intervention in their favour. Also there was the Diana thing which seemed to glorify victimhood.

I agree with your earlier point about "a generation that grew up being taught about the heroic struggles against prejudice undertaken by previous generations and they want their own." Though I would be squeemish about using the word 'bender'.

Nobody is against prejudice, A. In fact, everybody wants to get a piece of it. 'Twas ever thus.

I wouldn't call a gay bloke a bender. I use it for the awkward sods who wont let you call them anything else.

Right. Sticks and stones and a' that. Can't expect Peter's sort to understand though, can you.

Action transvestite. Or liberal imperialist as I would describe him. Bragged about being "thinly read" while proposing violent solutions to complex problems he wasn't remotely interested in trying to understand.

I did like his surrealism though. And his James Mason and Sean Connery voices. And his Darth Vader with the lunch tray sketch. And Mrs Badcrumble.
