Boo boys: don't be fooled by the freedom of speech argument 11:58 - Dec 6 with 9091 viewsHogger

Many of us have had enough contact with certain Millwall fans to know that it's no coincidence they are booing an anti-racist gesture. But some argue that this is about freedom of expression. If you're tempted by that argument please go on Twitter, look at the pages of those using that as a justification for booing. Almost to a man (yup, 95% male) they are Tommy/Farage/Trump fans. Most deny covid too but that's another story...

The NHS covers everything I think. As for waiting times, yeah that’s an issue. Especially at the moment

Oh dear, you’re still playing this tune are you


Well you have had quite the weekend. Yesterday it was sticking up for a poster who used terms like chink and coloureds. Today you were rushing to the aid of the bloke who for banned for his White Lives Matter tirade.

It's so weird how you're always on the wrong side of things. A mere coincidence, I'm sure.

That's sort of the problem, mate.

You wade into big discussions with very little idea of the reality and you post some controversial things without knowing the detail.

In this very thread you have both advocated that the German healthcare insurance system is preferable to our own as well as saying the NHS/private sectors cover pretty much everything very well.

I didn’t realise everything on here had to be properly referenced like an academic article. I thought posting thoughts was the idea of a forum.
What’s wrong with saying our system is ok but it’s worth considering any ideas that could make it better?

OK, so let's hear your uninformed ideas about why the German private healthcare system would be preferable to what we currently have and why.

P.S. Posting is always better if you have a basic understanding of what you're talking about.

I'm trying to get to the bottom of your actual thoughts and you're getting frustrated because I don't think you really know what you think. It's all just unresearched soundbites.

I’ve just seen loads of stuff during corona about how Germany has more doctors per person than anywhere else in Europe so they’re clearly doing something right. I’m just saying there would be no harm in considering using some of their ideas here. I had no idea what I was saying was so controversial.

What has people leaving the NHS got to do with Brexit. Any individual from the EU working in the NHS would have been able to apply for settled status.

No I’m not, but good that worked out for your missus.

It’s pretty clear that the brexit process has made this country less welcoming to outsiders. You know that as well as I do.

We're not the ones advocating it, so maybe talk to the others instead?

And it's it's, not its.
