  1. I guess they'll ban cross-dressing in Chinese Opera then. Mao did in the Cultural Revolution. He rounded them up.
  2. I think it's partly true that his career was affected by his views but also by the fact that he was seen as a liability at the polling booth. He found kindred spirits when he subsequently joined the Ulster Unionist Party.
  3. There is a delicious irony in someone using the moniker Ivor Bigun berating people over supposedly boasting about their sexuality. ????
  4. You don't have to be a part of another culture to like it. And if you dislike people merely because of what they are, that opens you up to all sorts of irrational prejudices.
  5. "Furthermore, this Assembly notes that there were some positive findings within the City Hall analysis which shows that all types of serious violence experienced by young people have fallen over the last four years, with knife crime resulting in injury down 36 per cent and under-25 knife crime down 48 per cent, compared to the peak in the twelve months to December 2017. However, every death from violent crime is heart-breaking, devastating families and communities, and we must continue do all we can to tackle the issue."
  6. Demonstrably untrue. The U.K. Race Relations Act covers discrimination against peoples of any colour or race.
  7. TCP ointment was the best for itching. Long since gone now, even in the U.K.
  8. He actually admitted it towards the end of his life in 1996. "What's wrong with racism? Racism is the basis of a nationality. Nations are, upon the whole, united by identity with one another, the self-identification of our citizens, and that's normally due to similarities which are regarded as racial differences."
  9. He had Powell and Miller on as guests. Miller went on first then Powell followed and spouted his flowery-worded tripe. You see Miller slumped in his chair politely listening to it all. When Cavett attempts to bring Miller into the conversation Powell tries to shut him down by saying it's his show. Miller quite rightly states it's Cavett's show and then proceeds to give his views which Powell tries to twist. Powell, like Farage and Peterson impress some people because they seem intellectual even when their arguments don't hold up. They appeal to some people's biases which always attracts the unthinking and uncritical.
  10. You don't want to see Miller hand him his <deleted> on a plate? ????
  11. Demonstrably untrue in both cases. Watch the whole interview on Youtube and you'll see how first Powell tries to stop Miller debating him by saying "This is my show" then twists several of Miller's points with the old "so what you're saying is..." trick. Miller rightly calls him out on it. As for Peterson, well he's a slippery snake. But who better than a clinical psychologist to manipulate the weak. He fools no right-minded person.
  12. I would advise people to view the full interview with Powell and Jonathan Miller. It's on Youtube.
  13. Bit too sweet for me. Like Hoegaarden Rose.
  14. Yes, the fruit flavour should come from the hops.
  15. When you check out on Shopee you can enter a discount voucher code but I've never seen them offered. Where can you get these codes for Shopee and Lazada?
  16. Not per se but flavour can increase in line with alcohol content due to the increased amount of fermentable sugars needed.
  17. 6.5% seems to be the sweet spot. Leffe at 6.6%.
  18. Tops have San Miguel for 36b. It's a step up from Leo regular.
  19. Some of it needs flattening. Chang is just a gas bomb. A little carbonation is fine. I come from the land of flat ales.
  20. Some cheaper fruit beers are just beer-flavoured soda but if you buy something like a Kriek Lambic (cherry) it's pure nectar.
  21. There are a number of reasons to pour. It lets the beer oxygenate which imparts flavour, lets carbonation out to let it settle, creates a head in some beers and provides a better way of gauging the aroma, to name a few. Of course none of this matters if you just want to get drunk. ????
  22. I'm not above drinking out of a can if necessary but always have new beers in a glass to see the colour.
  23. The cans are lined so you shouldn't get a metallic taste from them.
  24. They use three different hops so there's a slight difference in flavour profile. The Yellow Sub was a bit fruitier as I recall.
