There doesn't seem to be a dictionary definition for a collection of whoppers [a whoop perhaps?] but if one existed it would apply to almost the full field in Hazzard County. Afterwards there will be a moonshine run where Stu Peters will attempt to jump his car over the River Dhoo with the police in hot pursuit while Super Hans plays Lynyrd Skynrds Freebird on the banjo. Hillbilly heaven. After the banjo and mooshine sesh at Mt Murray, the candidates should probably do a 'Who Dares Wins/Running Man' style canoe trip down the Crogga. The two surviving candidates get in. It's the only way I'll be able to choose between them. Edited August 24, 2021 by The Phantom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raffles Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Isnt Peters English? So which bits of multiculturalism does he object to? All the bits that involve anyone other than the English? I have quite a few relatives who have moved around the world. I find objectors to multiculturalism quite often don't consider their own ilk moving away. Do you believe we should all stick to the country of our birth then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was his turn off phrase ‘forced to enjoy’ that caused the opprobrium. I like multiculturalism. Growing up in the 70s/80s food was so bland. Nowadays there’s all sorts. Same with shops, local businesses etc. I’ve always worked in health, which since the start of the NHS has been a United Nations. We need more of the same now. Lets get some Afghan nurses and doctors over to boost our services here, while their partners open up other businesses to employ locals and pay taxes. What’s wrong with that? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kipppers, spuds, bonnag and a drop of beer is all you need. Mind you I would have any of that foreign stuff over the english muck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spent time in a block of flats where there was loud (reggae) music blaring 24 hours a day 7 days a week. It was explained to me that the people are happy listening to loud music and all they are doing is sharing their happiness. I tried to explain I am happy with peace and quiet and would like to share it with my neighbours. Ganja induced dilated pupils blankly stared back.
