I don't remember ever hearing anyone demanding so and so be fired for his politics or religion. Absurd.
Sexual orientation ? Nobody gave a flying fuck.
Nationality was never an issue either.
If anything we all accepted and enjoyed our differences. Made the day more interesting.
I don't ever remember heated arguments about religion or politics either. We argued our differences occasionally but never found it got ugly.
Why ? Simply because getting through the day without screwing up or getting injured left little room to fuck around in pointless bad blood. Anger causes accidents and screw ups. Guaranteed. Everyone knew it and besides that we actually, for the most part , found our colleagues quirks amusing and worthy of respect.
Tolerance is a very practical adaptation to an environment that could otherwise get you hurt.
But in middle management land it's obviously different. Once you reach that hallowed space, fraternising with shop floor is verboten. The middle class are the same wherever you go. To suggest it's only a British thing is absurd. But it eases the guilt associated with snobbery. Blame the Brits !
In point of fact you would find, if you ever lived and worked there, that Brits don't take shit from their " betters" and mercilessly ridicule the pomposity of the officer class with such deadly precision that they dare not pull rank without getting raked over the coal's. At the pub, at the race's, in any public place.
Starmer is a classic example of the worst kind of champagne socialist. Just like the Obamas. Another lying two faced money grubbing shitte.
I'm not prejudiced when it comes to politicians. They are all scum to me.
Trump ? An honest Casino owner ? Are you serious ? I doubt it.
But hey, I'm just a dumb wood butcher who lives in a fibro shack. What would I know.
A customer once expressed anger at me for making and enjoying high quality furniture for myself because I was not entitled to it !
I told him to go fuck himself.
Which he duly did. They can take orders. If your firm with them.
Muh politics and religion
