Trump
That awful person has been using music from the best group ever to exist (ABBA) without permission at his rallys
What do you think Abba should do about this illegal action?
Demand loads of "Money, Money, Money"

Haha, as long as the court action between them doesn't turn into the battle of Waterloo. 😉

He did the same with a thing of Taylor Swift and also the Titanic theme tune (although using a sinking ship as his entrance music was funny to me!)

@Albus_Scope I am a bit confused here, so it is not ok for us to talk about politics in the forum, but ok for the coffee lounge?
Also ok for Scope to joke about a politician? Oh is that because it is Trump?
If I set up a topic about Labour, Conservatives or Kamala Harris, would that be allowed?
I dare say not, sorry for nit picking, but rules are meant to be followed regardless of whom you want to vote for, even though Trump is nothing to do with UK politics. Yet if we moan about our own Government and changes that is a no no?
Sorry for nit picking, but I am bored and too stressed out to try and watch TV.

watching the news brainwashed most to believing Trump is a nasty man ;)

The only joke I saw was about Abba's song Waterloo?? People regularly talk about politics all over the forum, I don't know why you don't think it's allowed @Needhelpandadvice?? Personally I think talking about American politics is different to UK politics too, one is as a spectator 🤷

you are so right , and this thread actually triggered me, because i like Trump and I don't like Abba, so it really did upset me .
The rules are for all , well they should be .

I'm so confused and think I'm missing something, there's plenty of celebrity figures I like and others don't, I've never been triggered by it 🤷

That's where mental health is different in many ways, I am autistic and taking the p out of one of my favourite presidents really triggers me , its caused me so much anxiety .
if it causes me anxiety then surly it is wrong , we are all sensitive on here from many illnesses .

If no one could say anything that might potentially trigger someone else, no one would ever be able to talk ever, about anything…
I'd say your signature is far more political than this discussion has been too

@Biblioklept I might not like jokes and people being happy, I might not like ABBA or Swedish people. I might not like 70's pop music.
No one is thinking about my feelings?
I might actually like Trump as well, which I do, but the principal is the same.
I still hate happy people though.

yep, but i was silenced on here for posting something with the intention of easing others minds about the pip episode, many were and it seems still are believing labour are the saviour , so my signature is my way of saying how i feel . I've noticed there are lots on here who can post whatever they want without a thing said , my thread which was closed was to try and help others, that good deed turned into me being told it is not for me to decide whether i am a racist but for others , because it got into illegal immigrants and i am not against immigration , I am all for legal immigrants who go through proper channel, and i mentioned that 'by the way i am not a racist' simply because these days people assume because you want legal immigration you are racist , its there to go and have a read , its funny because my eldest son is mixed race , so clearly i am not a racist . I was triggered by that remark and i got no support or understanding just the moderator who obviously has a power issue got away with saying what it said , no wonder i am triggered when the rules do NOT apply to us all .

I remember reading that comment about other people deciding if you're racist and think it maybe wasn't meant that way @stay_positive.
Let me give a different example, say my dad made a joke about women and I replied that it was offensive to women, and he said it wasn't, I might say to him that it's not up to him to decide if it's offensive to women (because he isn't one), it's for others to decide. I don't think it was meant like saying YOU are a racist, although I get it, I'd feel hurt too, but I am autistic and have RSD so when someone doesn't agree with me I know I feel like they are rejecting me 😥
I don't know what PIP discussion you had silenced so can't comment on that! ❤️
The moderators have made decisions before that I've not agreed with but I've never thought they are on a power trip, they always seem pretty reasonable - I know I certainly wouldn't like their job of trying to please everyone, it's an impossible task!!!

Thank you for that example , it makes sense , but I would have liked the moderator to have explained it and actually apologise that it caused me anxiety and yes I felt rejected because I made that thread thinking it would help those including myself to feel more at ease about the pip and vouchers , it just never , but it really did hurt me and I even wanted to delete my account and everything I had posted , i stayed off for a while .

I have included you both, but my comment is towards Bibi, my apologies if I did not type your name in full, I know that might be offensive to you, but it was not to me.
I am ex forces, and I put on a uniform to serve this Country and it's people. I am watching it being destroyed, it is not racist to say that illegal immigrants are not welcome in the UK. I don't care where someone comes from, but they come here to get our welfare system, which is why the system is collapsing and British people are paying the price for it.
Controlled immigration with Doctors and Nurses is one thing, but fighting age people of a certain religion who decide to detonate explosives at a Taylor Swift Concert in Manchester killing Children is not what this Country needs or is about.
In my local area, you can google this Catherine Wells Burr, Chard a young beautiful woman, who was murdered by a WHITE polish bloke and then her body moved and burnt by THREE WHITE polish people and her parents are left without a daughter, because of immigration.
Do you think that I am wrong or right, do you think that I am racist because I am saying WHITE or polish?
Yes, not every person is bad, but if it was not for tony blair and mass immigration, then that beautiful young lady would not be dead, and the welfare system would not be collapsing.
Nottinghill Carnival, how many stabbed about five? How many arrest for weapons and stuff.
Diversity matters at the the expense of natural born British citizens, and not some joker who can claim a British passport. Who's parent's and themselves have come from overseas.

I like your new signature @stay_positive ❤️
I'm glad you decided to stay even after feeling rejected and hurt, there are good people on here and I don't think anyone, especially the mods, would have wanted you to feel rejected

Thank you , its what I normally use , I was just really upset when I put it on .

I know I wont be popular , but you are right . I also want to thank you for your service to our country and I fully understand how it must really affect you more than it does us, when you put your life on the line and it has all been thrown in your face . I appreciate you .

I don't want to debate semantics @Needhelpandadvice as I get what you're trying to say but there are a lot of inaccuracies in your post (a few highlights being that it wasn't a Taylor Swift concert, it was Ariana Grande, and the perpetrator was born in England)
But all the details aside, I think immigrants are an easy scapegoat for a much larger issue. You've said yourself in a few different posts about government corruption and I think you're missing that the big mess the country is in, is their fault too.
Underfunding in healthcare, education and housing and corruption can be traced back at the route of pretty much all issues we face.
They purposely turn our attention to immigration when people start looking at them, it's the same thing they do with disabled people, or single parents, or any group they can point to, to take the real focus off of themselves

wakey wakey , dam this makes me mad that people don't see the problem . I suppose most haven't seen the lines in the sky either that block out our sun . I wonder how many of the people saying immigration is not the problem would give these strangers a room in their own homes . All talk no action .
