Playing on the same side? The last taboo

[The Rouge]

maybe yes, or riddled? expenses scandal I assume..

The bit he's missed out is that the "community" is a drug-addled animal-murdering hippy commune. Right brendy?

Good use of addled. We only seem to use the word addled in relation to the word 'drug' these days, which is a bit weird isn't it (?) as I assume it is much more versatile than that.

Wasn't there a parliament that was addled at some point? (I may be making this up.)

James I's time? (1603-25).

[The Rouge]

Or maybe James VI of Scotland?

Or maybe James VI of Scotland?

No - it was an English parliament only. From Wiki - seems rather like the ongoing EU Budget meeting todayy.

The Addled Parliament was the second Parliament of England of the reign of James I of England (following his 1604-11 Parliament), which sat between 5 April and 7 June 1614. Its name alludes to its ineffectiveness: it lasted no more than eight weeks and failed to resolve the conflict between the king, who wished to raise money in the form of a 'Benevolence', a grant of £65,000 and the House of Commons (who were resisting further taxation).

Every child ....... need a proper family with a loving Father and Mother to bring them up and give them a proper start in life.

my heterosexual father left before i was born, my single mother brought me up well, and barring some slightly iffy moments in my teens/early twenties i have turned into a fine upstanding well rounded member of the community, with no input from a male father figure/role model whatsoever.
my dads an idiot, and im 100% convinced i would have turned out much worse if hed been around when i was growing up.

its about the love support discipline and guidance you get. nothing to do with the sex of those who care for you

I may have misunderstood your point, but your scenario which you speak of is totally differrent to a child being raised by two same-sex parents isn't it. They may love and support the child, but it will still be brought up in an unatural environment, possibly confused by the role models it has if it is a straight child

...and bullied at school because its parents are gay. It seems terribly unfair on the child.

I agree that you can't assume hetero parents to all be good parents, but the same goes for gay parents surely. There must be some horrible would be gay parents too.

I have made a lot of statements in previous posts that are both true and, indeed, logical. I have always dealt in logic when looking at issues that need a solution. I understand that others simply use emotion but - that is way, way, way not good enough. I have noticed that not one of you have managed to deny the points I have made, simply mis-read them or ignored them and just been abusive.

Bye-bye the thread and it's contributors who may love RFC but seriously fail to even know what England stands for!

It's taken me a while but I've finally sussed it.......... you're Mr Spock aren't you?

And on a serious note, I think you may find quite often throughout history England has stood up for the little man, the minority, the person who is having their rights trampled by others who just don't think they 'fit' or are 'normal.' I think it is you sir that seriously fail to know what England stands for.

You are correct! That little man, that person having their rights trampled all over, are the indigenous people once known as English!

I'd like to trample on your rights until they were squeezed out of your indigenous English bollocks.

Enough said.

There's a collective name for these indigenous English - they're called the Welsh

Looks like this campaign is actually starting to emerge, first Lindegaard, now Southgate

No one's actually come out yet, but this is certainly paving the way. As an already gay-friendly club, I look forward to our player/s (depending on whether or not a certain individual remains at the club or continues his seeming inexorable trudge towards the exit) leading the way.

A bit better than the way he leads the line?
