    They are in my house.

    I believe in freedom of speech and that should apply here too. I am a normal? guy and like scantily clad ladies as much as anyone, however I never look at that thread on here and there are plenty of others I miss out too, freedom of choice. It's easy to scroll past if you don't agree or dislike the post. However first and foremost this is a motorcycle forum and I'm sure we are all big and old enough and in my case, ugly enough to know that.

    @sprintdave Nothing wrong with freedom of speech. But this is a motorcycle forum. And a lot of us remember when this great forum was brought to its knees with unrelated post and bickering. Only for @Havit it would be no more and still thanks to Wayne who made it better. Perhaps we should have a unrelated to Bikes section. And there are a few topics i skip

    This is a bit of good news. Perhaps we all should remember this of road center when we are picking up bits or passing.

    I won't comment directly on the issues you Brits are facing. I'll leave it up to you to sort out your problems. But you are not unique. It's happening in France, Italy, the Scandinavian countries and here in the U.S. - all over the world.

    Sociologists tell us that it's not the severity of punishment that deters crime, it's the certainty of it.

    We have one Joe, LOUNGE for "Off Topic" content which IMO means anything not bike related, within reason of course.:)

    On the original subject, great news indeed!:grinning:

    Same effect is it not? Stifling? Freedom is an "all or nothing" concept.

    Complete bollocks. Coming from someone whose president is inferring that TV stations that don't align to his viewpoint should get their licences revoked, and who has armed uniformed quasi military personnel on the streets of his cities, my sense of irony is somewhat piqued....

    Oh the USA has problems but it's capital isn't firmly run by muslims and sharia law....they are working on it state by state but I wouldn't trade MY lot for yours for any reason. You are ok with this takeover then? Trump isn't the best man for this job but FAR better than the previous turds (including his first term!). In my state Sharia law is actually OUTLAWED and my neighbors will take to arms if necessary to drive them OUT and back the hellholes they came from when the time comes. We see the carnage of liberalist/leftist policies allowing unlimited immigration and are DONE with that here.

    Perhaps you don't understand the plight you are in? Blinded by brainwashing or just foolish pride?

    Oh the drama, it's as simple as one person trying to be a peacemaker because that is their nature.

    I am pretty certain that arming the far right bigots of the UK would not be a positive step.......

    If you’re being serious I literally don’t know what to say.

    Wouldn't it be best to agree that as mear mortals the only way open to us, on both sides of the pond, is by using the ballot box. Nothing said on this forum is going to change that. So rather than extending this till it gets right out of hand. Let's call it quits, and get back to bikes.
    Politicians only think of themselves anyway.

    Honestly, I don't think your posts on this thread are doing you any favours at all. Racism is not a good look, racism and arming the population to reinforce racist beliefs even less so. I am not denying that there are issues in the UK at the moment however I am proud that there is diverse population which brings many positives. We should look at contributions to society by people, not their beliefs or skin colour.

    +1. I’ve already mentioned that, IMO anything “within reason” is fair game in LOUNGE but I think reason has left the building here. I could also post some strong views but I’ve also had several strong beers, which we all know is not a good mix so I’m away to sleep it off. Byeeee…….:zzz::zzz::zzz:
