Watched a Doco on BBC 4 last night

Dave Tompkins was a petty thief who craved adventure. His career as an international mercenary began in Africa and took him all over the world - to Afghanistan, Croatia and later to Colombia, where he led a team commissioned to assassinate notorious Columbian drug lord Pablo Escobar. He went out with Callan and Copland to Angola he was the explosives guy in the team. While laying some mines he was injured by one going off. Got casavact  back to uk just before Callan executed some of his men. Peter McAleese featured. We had one guy in our squadron who was out there he told me that the only way he survived was to keep to SOP’s staying in the bush and no tracks/roads

TLO loves watching all these docs about the royal family and their palaces, and 9 out of 10 'Royal Experts' are black or Asian with ridiculous plummy accents, laugh my bollocks off at them. Again it's Don's Nudge Theory to slowly con us into thinking a coffee coloured society is the way we should be going, (nearly there already!) ☹️

The great initiation began wi the windrush mob, some moved into our street in the mid 50s. Alright people and their kids a novelty, same time as the young lasses ad black dolls and gollywogs, no problems. Secondary modern skoyle I attended no black kids at all, bit different these days it,s spot the white kid if tha can! Main prob was when the Pakis n their tribes arrived starting in the early 70s, whole areas and neighbourhoods taken over by the soo-ap dodgers follered by fukkin mosques openin all o,er. Shud never bin allowed n now churches in rapid decline n muslim loints boomin, the takeover in full swing. Thought ad seen the last o the kunts when we fukked off from Aden Nov. 67. WRONG!

Hasn't quite got that bad over here yet, mainly due to the sheer bigotry that keeps them under cover a bit. No mosques as far as I know, just a house designated the Muslim faith Centre in Newtownards and no doubt every town has one. Always find it funny when going round a market and all the stall holders have broad 'Norn Iron' accents as they're 2nd or 3rd generation brought up here! I was in the pizza place in town last week, owned by an Argentinian family who's sons were working that day and unlike their parents have broad local accents, integration at it's finest! 🤣

The 'Nudge Theory's' not mine it's is a real sociopolitical phenomenon Pat.  The coffee coloured society is all predicted in the Coudenhove Kalergi plan.  Remember; The world is just a great big onion, 'what we need is a great big melting pot... coffee coloured children by the score...'.

I was just ascribing the term to your post Don, not suggesting you'd coined the phrase yourself, but of course I did nick the 'coffee coloured' bit from that old song that amuses me every time I hear it!

I didn't mention anything to the pizza shop owners, but a few years ago when I was assisting a mate to lift a safe out of there he embarrassed me by making various crass comments to them on the subject, which luckily due to his broad Shankill Road accent went over their heads, Knob!
