Anyway ... his 'Tory' post was so bizarrely out of context to anything we were discussing at the time I just thought it was absolutely ridiculous. He seemingly was insinuating I was a tory then and now today I'm apparently a fascist. Honestly man, words fail me. Are you implying there's a difference ?

Hhtoon Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 IMO.. Speeding 50 in a residential 30mph, or 150 on the motorway is worse than driving at marginally over the legal drink limit at the correct speeds on empty roads. Driving 3 times the legal drink limit is worse than 75mph on motorway or 33 in a residential area. There is a sliding scale and its pointless making generalisations to be honest. Alcohol is lethal because it affects your reactions. Excessive speeding is lethal as stopping distances etc are affected regardless of your reaction times. Disclaimer: I do neither of the extremes and actually don't drive having any drink personally. I speed but not what I'd term excessively or in stupid places and I'm not condoning anyone etc etc etc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colos Short and Curlies Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 Per mile drink walking is more dangerous than drink driving. at the end of the day he’s done something stupid and thankfully he’s getting a lesson with no harm being done.

Theregulars Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 The point I’m trying to make is you’re condescending people, deliberately winding them up and dismissing their opinions, personal traumas and fears at the state of the country like it’s some sort of sport, which is conduct indicative of, and commonplace amongst, those of the far right. Your belittling of the poster with a very recent experience of drink-driving related trauma was callous and really misconceived, I think you’d do well to apologise and think about the fact you need to coexist in this space with others.

Given that in this country in the last couple of years we've had anti protest laws, voter suppression laws, and we're now looking to pass forcing people to work laws I think the word fascist could do with being used a bit more often than it is.

Have a look at the link I posted earlier and tell me it's not the right wing of the Tory party and, Jesus fuck I'm agreeing with Anna Soubry, even she says the Tory party have been taken over by the far right brexit tendency.

Will refrain (something many people on here need to learn) from making a long post in order to not make this thread worse than it is. But whatever you posted has absolutely nothing to do with what Kaka posted initially and the way the word fascist was used. Also, highly disagree with your sentiment, but that’s from a non-UK perspective. Edited January 13, 2023 by Flip Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
