When Trump was giving his speech today, the two American flags in the background had a yellow stripe at the bottom. What do these stripes represent?

You are correct the BBC is a woke broadcaster, but they wouldn't post this article if it was wrong, in fear of getting sued. Try Google and you will get the same result from other news platforms.
Funny in one post you complain about woke culture, in another you quote woke BBC to prove your point

All western countries have the same problem, too much of a coincidence. This is design migration. All countries could stop this by closing their borders, but they don't want to, because many members of western governments are on someone's payroll. They have all been captured by the global elite. All our cultures are being eroded, and we will have to get used to diversity, equity, and inclusion, from here on.
Check out the WEF's mission when you get time.
I need some help here...

I've seen "hot whiskeys" served in many pubs in NI, as a remedy for the common cold.
Black Bush is also stronger than the more common Bushmills white label.
Mostly though the Scottish and Irish don't add water, let alone ice. It's drunk neat.

Is Black Bush its RC equivalent? I remember someone saying that to me but they weren't from Ireland.

Off-Topic / Things you can't get used to in your new country [95]
Back in the day, there was no health and safety, so anyone could do their own wiring, and this lead to many strange (and dangerous) circuits. New regulations were brought in about 15 years ago to stop this, and now if you do some wiring, you need to get a qualified electrician to inspect it, and issue a certificate to proved it was checked.
It was completely normal. But when I was still going to England, I was told that not only the electrics in Victorian houses are strange, but also a few other things.

It is dangerous in the kitchen if you touch a socket with wet hands. The main ring circuit is protected by a RCB, which means you could get a shock, but it probably wouldn't kill you. The only socket allowed in a UK bathroom is a shaver socket with a two prong connection (there are no switches to turn it on or off), and is at half the voltage compared to the kitchen, it is also possible to buy an adaptor to charge a toothbrush, which is safe. You will also notice that the light switches in a bathroom are a pull cord type as well, this is to stop people with wet bodies touching anything electrical.
It's too dangerous, ok. Then why it's not that dangerous in the kitchen?

A couple of points. First, I haven't suspended you for not using your ignore function, and there would plenty of other reasons to do so than that. I'm guessing you could be in the early stages of Dementia, or had a little too much moonshine. There has been no warnings on your profile, to suggest 'you had a time-out', nor has there been a red sad emoji next to your username in this last couple of days.
Next, you have been listening to the self-proclaimed 'King of the internet' Cargo pants, who nearly always get things wrong. I wouldn't mind betting that I'm 25 kilos lighter than both of you, judging by your photos posted on these forums. I also don't have diabetes, which is another false piece of information posted by the Indian "troll king" of the internet. Have a nice day, slim Jim. :-)
LISTEN YOU GUYS, I GOT SUSPENDED BY FAT VINNY FOR NOT USING MY IGNORE FUNCTION !

Don't mistake canned/censored with off topic posts. On the main threads, posts have to be on topic with the subject of the thread. Posts that are off topic will be removed to random chat, and furthermore, posts that reply to off topic posts (or quote off topic posts) will also be removed. If members don't want to see their posts removed, it is up to them to follow the forums rules.
That is basically what I have been doing.
When a guy puts time into researching the facts, that can't be challenged by the Leftard, on the front page and it just gets shlt canned into the back page Random Chat, why waste your time and energy to post anything credible that a literate person would want to read.

Other forums could be playing a form of Russian roulette, and like to gamble. They might not get a complaint about the videos for years, and then one day someone takes offence, and drags them through the courtrooms. They could stand to lose a lot of money.
Besides, the videos on here are not deleted. It should not be a big issue to add www. to the link, open a new page and paste it into the address bar. It may also be a good idea to give a short description of the video when you post one, then other posters will know if it will be of interest to them.
But other forums allow embedded videos.

Feedback / I love this forum - It's so Polish: tolerant, inconsistent, amusing [184]
This forum is for people, new and old, to read and find out all things about Poland. How do you think it would look for new people, if every time they come here all they see is posters calling each other derogatory names? They probably wouldn't post anything or stay around for long.
Off course, you are correct, it's not. Where does one draw the line? Soon it would turn to racism and hate speech. Like you said, it can't be a free for all, or the forums would look quite a bit like Stormfront. This site has also been more tolerant with members than most sites.
I think that it means that I can call people - a jerk or a moron without mods butting in!

Food / Polish Salted Butter [57]
Seems about the going price at the moment. I normally buy Kerrygold in ASDA for £2 per 250g. Not a big fan of salted butter, but Kerrygold (in my store anyway) has only 1.8g per 100g, so basically next to nothing. I don't think it's too expensive compared to some margarines, and others butters in those plastic tubs.
I buy Kerrygold in Poland for between 10 and 12 zl for a 200g pack.

It doesn't concern me, as I don't know any Polish slang, except the infamous 'K' word. I leave things like this to our PM's Polish-speaking staff, who will decide if it's worth deleting words like this... or not.
I see that one PF member calling other PF members "Zhuj" and "Pizda"(not in Random) doesn't concern you though?

In basic form, it is 'extreme PC', closely related to virtue signalling

What is a woman?, is a question that has a simple answer, and has been used for millennia. I'm afraid Starmer has shot himself in the foot.

Sorry jon, but Starmer is too woke. Working people won't forget how he took the knee for BLM, and how he tied himself up in knots when asked "what is a woman"? He is also on record as saying 'women can have a penis', and 'it's wrong to say that only women have a cervix'.
By trying to please a very small percentage, he has lost many votes from biological women, who account for half the population of the UK.
They do. A huge chance.
