GUBRATS Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 (edited) A true ' icon ' of sport , I remember reading a story about a journalist on his travels round the world in the 60s , if ever in surroundings that were intimidating , referencing " Bobby Charalatan " would immediately ease any tensions with the locals and draw a smile no matter wherever in the world you were , usually followed with an invite to play a game of football Fairly sure he'd had a match programme or football magazine with a picture of Bobby on the front cover with him which had originally been seen , so he made a point of carrying the said article with him on his travels , at that time there were essentially 3 worldwide known sports superstars , Muhammed Ali , Pele and Bobby Charlton Edited October 22, 2023 by GUBRATS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody pretends the Poles and other eastern Europeans didn't contribute massively to the war, that's purely projection on your part. Eastern Europeans, such as the Poles or Lithuanians are very patriotic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just didn't check the insignia beforehand and thus showed themselves up as not just racists, but lazy racists.

You can’t get much lazier than just labelling people like Farage as racist, so congrats. Not that I’m a fan as such, it’s just extremely unthinking. But again I’ll repeat, very few people have a problem with Eastern Europeans as they are mostly very hard working people. And it’s very very lazy to bundle everyone together who happens to have different opinions to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And well done for deliberately misinterpreting what I posted about Poles and other foreigners. It must make you feel awfully clever to lie like that. 1 Let me never fall into the vulgar mistake of dreaming that I am persecuted whenever I am contradicted.
