NHS workers are ‘heroes’ in the same way farmers are ‘heroes’
Farmers are ‘feeding the nation’ so they should apparently be prioritised on the roads but you wouldn’t let the van driver out of a junction who might be delivering fertiliser or medicine to the farm in order to keep ‘feeding the nation’.
‘Nhs workers are heroes’ is just toxic government Covid spiel. They are people doing a job like anyone else doing a job.

Get a grip

That people on mumsnet will never understand the difference between Botox and fillers

Having babies past 40 is just mental to do.
Moon landings were faked.
Dogs should not be allowed in cafés.
Parents need to parent without a screen.
Women are not always right.
Skinny jabs will cause problems in the end.
Lake District and the white cliffs of Dover are over rated.
Men that shave their armpits are wankers.
Some old people are bloody annoying.
And many many more.

There is nothing wrong with having a baby in your 40's
People who dismiss older people are ageist and probably don't have the critical skills to realise why ageism is wrong.

so sorry, it didn't read like agreement

No I apologise for being rude. Felt a bit attacked on here earlier and got too defensive sorry.

Too many judgemental little arseholes on this thread

PoliteSquid · 13/10/2026 21:29

School sports day should be banned.

Radical feminists are wrong and have done more harm to women then any man.

SEN not all of you have it, its not an excuse so you can be a dick.

You can have SEN and be a dick, it's not either/or.

Another one. Parent/family vloggers & influencers that regularly use their kids or content should not exist. Kids should not have their whole lives posted online for people to see.

ThatAquaRobin · 13/10/2026 21:30

There's a genocide going on in Gaza.

Wealth accumulated in house equity pays for your care home fees. Not the tax payer while your kids inherit.

Padstow and Salcombe are over-hyped, over-priced and over-rated.

This thread has gone exactly as I predicted.

Why not use ‘she’ then ?
Islam is renowned for treating its women with god like reverence after all?

Islamic theology also pretends its religion is about peace but it’s not really so peaceful in reality is it.
The virgins that radical Muslims will be rewarded with in the afterlife for carrying out the will of Allah, these virgins are not humans then? What are they? Chimpanzees?

’Allah is not anthropomorphised’ - BS

Because in Arabic every noun or pronoun must be classified as masculine or feminine and the masculine pronoun functions as the default.

And Arabic predates Islam by centuries.

You’ve gone from saying Allah is anthropomorphised to wishing He was a She.

So who are you going to complain to that Arabic isn’t gender neutral enough for you? Stonewall?

LTTE (freedom fighters / terrorist organisation in Sri Lanka)

Kamikaze fighters (Japanese)

Nazis (German)

ETC

...and all the white chavs following Tommy Robinson that'll torch your car or business because they are too lazy and thick to get a job so blame immigrants

Well the definition of refugee I've always known is this one, so yes (not open immigration, this is about people in desperate need)
"A refugee is a person who has been forced to flee their country of origin because of war, violence, conflict, or a well-founded fear of persecution"

That definition does not include those who are looking for an easy life at someone else's expense though, which seems to be a large majority of people coming. Deserting your country because you want more money does not fit the definition either.

Amazing work 😂👏🏻👏🏻

Someonesomewhereinsummertime · 13/10/2026 21:36

Perhaps the posters arguing over religion would like to start their own thread? No offence, but the argument over anthromorphic religions is taking over this one.

Henry's mother, Margaret Beaufort, has always been on my radar regarding the Princes in the Tower, she was the original tiger mum and she was astute enough to realise that while they lived her son's tenuous claim to the throne was threatened.

Where as i don't think that she was the one with the pillow, that side imo arranged the whole thing

totally agree with this

Oh, like the Japanese kamikaze pilots during WW2? Or perhaps you mean Paul Harold Orgeron? The Dutch soldiers fighting against Koxinga? Do you want to hear about some more? I've got all night...

Actions during war are not really the same are they?
Then again Islam is at constant war with every other religion.
Find me another religion that routinely preaches hatred of non - followers of that religion.
Are you sure you have all night? Don’t you have to stop and kneel on a mat and prostrate yourself in a certain direction and pray to ‘him’?
(He’s a him, but he’s not really a him, he’s an it, but we don’t say that)
