There is no loldrama
he just has some 'interesting' views. To which he is entitled but with which I completely disagree.

I'm up to speed now.
A former family member posted a link to the National Front on FB a short while back. I couldn't not call him up about it, and got a standard "Some of my best friends are coloured, blah blah immigrants blah blah our (spelled 'are') jobs blah blah proud Englishman" response.

He's a soldier. God help the Afghanis.

Yeah, but he's still a hero, so that's ten times the man you'll ever be

maybe he's one of the ones that got shot?

( rachelswipe with a fork, Tue 27 Mar 2012, 15:05, Reply)

its more likely that he's one of the ones that didn't get a decent education and was raised by people with similar views
joining the army was probably his only choice, and to him anyone who isn't british/european/american is the "enemy"

Sad thing is I've known him since he was about five.
I'm not aware of his parents holding views like that, so I can only assume he's picked them up from the Army and / or tabloid journalism.

Not to my knowledge he isn't.

I thought soldiers weren't allowed to express particularly right wing views?

Not aware of this but you could be right.

Yes, it would be lovely if we could all be "proud Englishmen" rather than constantly apologising for our country's shortcomings
It's unfortunate that the entry requirements include "being as thick as two short planks" and "being aggressively fearful of change and anything which even smells slightly foreign."

I find it wonderfully ironic
That they can remember an accepted anglicised spelling of an Arabic word, but have such trouble with their own language.

'Fuck' is Arabic in origin?

No, 'Al' is.
Dirty, chubby Arab that he is.

It appears that, despite being a grown up now, I still enjoy looking up rude words

With my insider knowledge of dyslexia, I think the 'are' bit is a genuinely dyslexic statement, except the word 'sport' instead of 'support'.
Don't get me wrong, they're horrific human beings, but I find it interesting that they used 'are' instead of 'our'. The words sound very similar, probably almost indisguingashable in their accent, so I accept 'are' as a mistake rather than lazy or stupidity. But the word 'Sport' instead of 'Support' is lazy as the words are completely different, however, the abreviated word "S'port" I would accept.

Nah, I think in this instance they're just thick.
