“Currie, you surely do attract the barrel-scrapings, no offence to you.”

Dr. Clog’s comment reminds me of an old George Carlin routine on funerals, where he satirized people’s ability to speak well of even those they despise:

“He was an a**hole. But a well-meaning a**hole, of course.”

What are the 7 words you can’t say on CBC Television without attaching scare quotes or an epithet?

Conservative Majority,
Ronald Reagan,
Margaret Thatcher,
Pope

Currie, you surely do attract the barrel-scrapings, no offence to you.

Nothing like a backhanded insult from a man whose entire career was parasitically borne out of others’ labour.

As for ‘over the top’, maybe if you didn’t ban everyone who disagrees with you, there would be some actual debate at your place, Baglow.

Well Dawg, you were a bit over the top, as Fred’s link shows, about our Boris.

How so?

And, unlike your perpetual commentor Ti-guy, my guy at least has, well, evidence, rather than snotty nosed invective and an apparent fixation on my alleged pot smoking.

I don’t recall calling Johnson a Fascist. Maybe another link?

His politics are, frankly, public record. And it was not I who mentioned the march on Rome, but one of his jubilant supporters. Take up your argument with him, moron.

Currie, you surely do attract the barrel-scrapings, no offence to you.

Is this the same canine who freaked out about Boris Johnson’s election as
mayor of London as the second coming of Mussolini or was it Franco? Finally,
he came to his senses and figured that Johnson was the second coming of Ottawa mayor Larry O’Brien. Fascists everywhere, I guess. Must look under my bed tonight.

Maybe Baglow should offer to head up the Roma’s Workers Union? Could be a high paying position?

Unfortunately, the Itialian movement does seem to have strong nationalist and fascist elements. Such as are also being seen in France, Germany, and the Netherlands.

Perhaps mass immigration and cultural relativity is not quite the panacea originally imagined by our governmental elites.

I see I have a stalker. But not a very effective one. My immediate neighbourhood has Native people and Chinese, to name two “non-white” groups.

What that has to do with “fascism,” though, is apparent only to a very disturbed individual, which, come to think of it, sums up most stalkers, cyber or (in this case) RL.

hit ‘em out of the park, Jay.

Dr. Dawg’s / John Baglow’s neighbourhood in Ottawa, btw, doesn’t have any non-whites at all, so who’s fascist?

I think the Roma get singled out because of how they operate: I lived in England a few years ago and the Roma were numerous in the area where I was. They are hard to deal with because they just arrive, out of the blue, in their caravans, take over a uninhabited green patch of land and than expect municipal services. Muslims try to assimilate in a tiny way by living in homes and working normal jobs.

Something that does not get mentioned much is how much law the EU is responsible for. Something like 80% of all new laws in UK, and I assume all EU members, are due to directives from Brussels. So you have third-rate bureaucrats in Belgium setting immigration law for Italians and they are finally starting to get fed up with the system.
