MNHQ, a word in your shell-like please - about these pro-BNP threads... consider this a petition

[TheLadyOfTheGreenKirtle]

hasn't this gone far enough? these threads are being allowed to stand which considering the "policies" of the BNP and the views expressed by "activists" is appalling. yes, free speech is wonderful, but some of these threads can be seen as inciting racial hatred, there are many, many, disablist, homophobic, racist remarks made and implied and they always go the same way. the threads are started to cause a bunfight. the BNP will not get anymore supporters on here, so why be deliberately controversial?

mn is a self-moderated site. this is great and one of the reasons i use it. however, the mners are now moderating and saying that we have had enough. we have complained a LOT about this type of thing - please take note!

Steelfairy - I'm with you on veg...

OK - doughnut is down, have taped up box and put it in fridge.

Night all - I expect this thread to have met capacity by the time I wake up!

Allons enfants de la Patrie,
Le jour de gloire est arrivé !
Contre nous de la tyrannie,
L'étendard sanglant est levé !
L'étendard sanglant est levé !
Entendez-vous dans les campagnes
Mugir ces féroces soldats ?
Ils viennent jusque dans nos bras
Egorger nos fils et nos compagnes !

Gwen the washing machine watching chicken sounds fabulous. I have an ASBO chicken. She's well'ard.

I don't like doughnuts. I may, I think, be the only person on the planet to say this.

I don't like doughnuts with that awful syrupy 'jam' in the middle. Bleurgh. I do link sugar ring/iced doughnuts though. Mmmmm.

Bleurgh to either I say.

does your name have an b on the end?

Its supposed to have a 'b' and an 's'. I think I ran out of room. May need a new moniker.

Aux armes, citoyens !
Formez vos bataillons !
Marchons ! marchons !
Qu'un sang impur
Abreuve nos sillons !

no b's or m's, just .......
lol

can someone translate please, I am reading and think I know what the words mean, but want to know if I am right now

Actually I cut and pasted the translation without reading it and it's RUBBISH, sorry. Will be back with a better one in two ticks.

Neanwhile:

Que veut cette horde d'esclaves,
De traîtres, de rois conjurés ?
Pour qui ces ignobles entraves,
Ces fers dès longtemps préparés ?
Ces fers dès longtemps préparés ?
Français, pour nous, ah! quel outrage !
Quels transports il doit exciter !
C'est nous qu'on ose méditer
De rendre à l'antique esclavage !

"I had a chicken called Gwen once, who was addicted to watching the washing machine."

Possibly my favourite quote ever on MN....

hasnt this been bumped out yet?

Allons enfants de la Patrie, Come, children of the Fatherland (Homeland),
Le jour de gloire est arrivé ! The day of glory has arrived!
Contre nous de la tyrannie, Let us stand against tyranny
L'étendard sanglant est levé, The bloody banner is raised,
Entendez-vous dans les campagnes Do you hear in the countryside
Mugir ces féroces soldats ? Those ferocious soldiers roaring?
Ils viennent jusque dans vos bras They come within your arms' reach
Égorger vos fils, vos compagnes ! To slit the throats of your sons and wives!

Aux armes, citoyens, To arms, citizens,
Formez vos bataillons, Form your battalions,
Marchons, marchons ! Let's march, let's march!
Qu'un sang impur May an impure blood
Abreuve nos sillons ! Water our furrows!
