Echoes of the populist antics both on the extreme right and extreme left in the UK mimicking each other. Here, one meant it and the other a fool for playing with matches. A courtesy does not need to be afforded only to an ally, You have just shown everyone your ignorance and just who the fool is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The word holocaust was not dreamt up 75 years ago! You remind me of Life of Brian: Jehovah Jehovah, Jehovah! Jesus! "a situation in which many things are destroyed and many people killed, especially because of a war or a fire" I feel strongly about the blight unnecessarily visited on the industrial parts of the UK. I will damn well use the phraseology I think most suitable.

Grouse Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 (edited) http://www.berkeleyinternet.com/holocaust/ This is my last post on this particular issue. The above is a scholarly article on the usage and etymology of the term. "industrial holocaust" may be rather hyperbolic but reflects my strong feelings of this disastrous period in U.K. modern history I have no wish to cause upset to anyone (well, numpties a bit ?)

Popular Post AlexRich Posted August 23, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted August 23, 2017 As GBP continues to plunge against the Euro (and other major currencies) it looks like Euro growth will exceed the Uk. Well I never! That is not what the Brexiteers on this forum promised ... did they not predict: 1) collapse of the Euro 2) break up of the EU 3) European bank implosion 4) UK dominating the Brexit negotiations from our obvious position of strength (they need us more than we need them) On reflection, it appears that they didn't know what they were talking about. That's what happens when low IQ chavs and racist pensioners drive the UK bus over the cliff. And where is Sgt Rock? Not a peep out of him for months ... all his apocalyptic predictions came to nothing. All that thorough research and "proof" turned out to be the delusions of a madman. At least he had the decency to see the error of his ways, unlike Kuhn Han ... on here everyday spouting rubbish. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then there was the time I was accused of being some Scottish gentleman who wrote books about kings and had banned Khun Han from some twitter account which I do not possess. For those high crimes I was also put on the ignore list. However I still look forward to his next rant about the Fourth Reich and their attempt to rule Europe now that they have successfully forced the UK out of the EU.

Kuhn Han has no interest in debate, and that is why anyone who counters his false narrative is on his "ignore list", a situation that you can be justly proud of. On the big issues, the echo chamber that is KH gets everything wrong ... we're living through an era in our history when the numpties have been given the steering wheel of UK plc and USA inc ...a bit like Cambodia's year zero, where anyone with an education has to pretend to be a simple rice farmer in case they are sent to S1 prison and tortured before being killed.
