Must've missed that one. I liked the episode with the 'Cake' drug problem in the UK.

I kind of like that you use the forums to vent even if I don't share your views. There's a kind of refreshing honestly and value to that. You represent a body of people and that's valid.

I think a judgement on children's names is more a judgement upon the parents.

Katie Hopkins isn't an MP she's a shock jock. She does say some things I regard as going too far...'immigrants as cockroaches for example and she's alright with basically calling Khan a cnut.

Any criticisms of vileness about Hopkins can also be visited upon the reactions to her, like that court case with...what I regard as a ridiculous outcome or the constant threats of physical violence she gets. People writing a play about her assassination.

Outside of the violence threats all this is free speech and so while worthy of criticism it's valid....however, if we are going to bash her for hyperbolic reactions, then the reactions to her come under that same description.

I don't agree with your point on division....that division is there, just as the politics between us is divided. She expresses the beliefs of many people on quite a few things. Her voice being heard is as legitimate as your voice being heard.

She's a nationalist, so I like that. She logical and rational, which I also like. She points out the faults of progressivism and I like that.

But yes, it does go too far.

How do you judge people with 'posh' names?

Sorry, I agree with you. My comment should have been made to mstrobez.
