Aged 12, I did an experiment.😈

I got 3 white friends (worse academic/detention records than me) to untuck their shirts, pull down their ties & undo their top buttons while queuing to be let into lunch.
I undid one button.

The teacher only stopped me.
I laughed.

Which is why this didn't really come as a surprise.

People are going nuts over this, calling me a liar, so for the record...

I honestly have no idea whether it was 2 kids or 3 kids. I can remember 2 (best friends) but can't picture the third.

Apparently not remembering every detail from 20 years ago makes it LESS believable.🤷🏿😬 Image
You're right. 12 year old me should have known he was going to be tested on his lunch-time prank 19 years later, and taken proper notes.

It's been half a decade since the 2016 EU Referendum.
Here's an amusing/depressing thread of some of the posts I made in the 5 days before the vote. #5yearsofBrexit
20 June 2016
LOOK AT ALL THESE FACTS!
We debated Brexit for 3 years after this, and the British media STILL failed to explain this stuff.

This is the song the UK government is encouraging kids to sing.
We've skipped straight to the Tory Youth phase... I can't. 😬
It took me 8 minutes to tweet that. The first 5 were purely on disbelief... I was planning to tweet something along the lines of. I know this is a parody, but isn't it crazy that we all think they could actually do this.

My flatmate after reading the website this government just promoted: "Are we... Are we going to war?"

Anyone with a brain knows that if 6 flatmates vote to go out and 4 vote to stay in & watch Friends, but they all end up at Nandos, which only 2 of the 6 wanted, that's not democratic. So:

How many Brexit factions need to reject this Brexit before they stop calling it democratic?
The DUP and the Brexit Party rejected it before we'd even left.
Fishermen rejected it within days of us leaving the Single Market. reuters.com/article/uk-bri…

I'd like to say a big 'F*** YOU' to anyone who thinks it's OK to let older vaccinated people get back to their lives before the young people (who gave up one of the best years of their lives to protect old people) have even been offered their jabs.

Question:
You have to pick one year of you life where you can only socialise with 2 people.

Raise your hand if you'd choose your school years.
Your uni years?
The years where you hope to meet your future partner?
No?
No takers?
Nobody?
Then stop spitting in young people's faces!
They voted AGAINST the government who ballsed this up.
They objectively lost out on a lot more social interaction.
They had their education damaged, hindering the rest of their lives.
And they suffered all this to protect elders from a disease they weren't vulnerable to.
Come on!

I would say I'm "discussing Knife crime" but honestly I just want to learn, right now.

"No kid out there just wakes up and decides he wants to be stabbing people" - @ScarcityStudios points out the responsibility of the parents and the adults who facilitate, encourage and teach youth crime.
"You can't just blame Drill Music. Because if you blame drill you have to blame Hollywood." You have to blame Video games. The violence isn't coming from one culture. "It's not black. It's not white." - @ScarcityStudios

Never forget:

The 48% all literally voted for the same EU Deal.
The 52% are STILL fighting to change the one they ''knew'' they were voting for, 5 years later.
The Tories want to modify the deal that took us out of the EU.
bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northe…
The DUP are saying that their followers will commit acts of violence over the summer if the the deal that took us out of the EU isn't changed.
