The board is what you make it, nobody to blame except yourself.

Yet another moribund post from a Boarder who flat lined many years ago.

The board has been great for the last three months. Not often you can say that.

Aye, right

Self deprecating satire. The best there is of all the satire genres.

Maxyyy! I missed you despite myself you big wally

After having semi retired from Boarding on the grounds that the Board has become moribund and not having posted for over 4 months I knew I had to come back with a bang.

HA gave me the idea in the thread begging me to come back. Anyway, see youse all in another 4 months.

Why am I being blamed for The Return of the Max?

North Face, maker of outdoor clothes and waterproof macs, is offering 20% off its range if customers complete an hour-long online diversity, equity and inclusion course entitled “Allyship in the Outdoors.”

Good to see them taking the initiative to combat the "racist and colonial white space" that is the British countryside. (viewtopic.php?p=368730&hilit=countryside#p368730).

Stunning and brave

Titled "Allyship in the Outdoors", the programme is aimed at "fostering a deeper understanding" of the "unique challenges that people of colour face when accessing the outdoors".

I won’t believe this story until it’s on Ananova

Police Scotland's "Hate Monster", the front of the Hate Crime and Public Order (Scotland) Act, has itself been accused of being hateful and stereotyping young working class men, who it says "may have deep-rooted feelings of being socially and economically disadvantaged, combined with ideas about white-male entitlement."

Probably not woke but still feels like correct thread

How is this woke? If these are the people committing hate crimes, these are the people that needed to be targeted.

Every single word of this.

Can any of the wokerati and/or Scotch give me a quick-take summary of this new Scottish hate/blasphemy law thingy?

I've not bothered to keep abreast of things, but notice some people think it's a bad thing. However, those people are sometimes framed as the baddies. I realise that I do my own research but why bother when I have access to the wealth of informed opinion that is the message board.

Not heard about this - which groups are whining, gingers or druggies?

It's hard to tell. But the people whining are the same as those who tend to trigger people who have dyed their hair purple.

My nan? Only thing that triggers her is the forrins.

Implicit in hate crime laws is the idea that bigotry, violence and repression comes from the mass of the population, rather than the state - and indeed that the state is the best arbiter and enforcer of justice.

Other than that my understanding is that the Scotch laws are very similar to already existing legislation in England & Welsh Wales.

It's your lucky day Ginge. I stumbled across this very level headed chap from some poncey uni very clearly explaining what it all means and get this he actually knows what he's ranting on about!!

CEB can put down his pitchfork for now and not join in with the Rowlinista Brigade because a separate bill further protecting Wimminz rights is coming later this year. Who knew eh? That everyone's rights could be protected under the law simultaneously. It won't catch on.

Oh, oh, The ink is barely dry on the new Act but Big Sally McCoist advocating he and 48,000 other bigots are prepared to break it on Sunday. Crivvens!

They will break the law. They always do.

I'm still figuring out how I can manufacture a boardin contrivance based upon a plausible, yet false, interpretation of this new law. I'll update you all in due course.

Is McCoist going to be singing FTP while on co-comms? Quite the admission.
