PBR? I think over the last 20 years or so, the hipsters have glommed onto PBR's and made it their own, dumbasses that they are.

Does the word ‘chav’ directly reference someone’s colour? So no it’s not the same.

I hear what you're saying Macca, and you're not wrong. It's hypocritical to make fun of the pejorative when it is in fact a racist, classist way of describing poor, white rural people. I just did it and I shouldn't have.

Over here people often refer to themselves as white trash. It's a redneck lifestyle, a badge of honor. There are large festivals that celebrate the lifestyle. And I suppose that it is an example of why there's such a big divide in this country between rural white people and their urban counterparts. It's just so weird that they adopted Trump as their leader. There is no one in this country who hates them more than he.

No, "chav" doesn't reference someone’s colour, but it does slur their racial heritage in exactly the same way as "white trash".

He does however, 'love the poorly educated'. And apparently, they love him.

Bloody hell, poorly educated covers a massive amount of people here. He needs to be more specific.

Anniversary for an ignominious day tomorrow. It’s remarkable and humiliating that no one has yet been held accountable for it. Hopefully people keep their cool.

which means no one has been held accountable. 'Local repairman gets 4 months for sitting in a Congressman's chair' isn't addressing that there was an attempt to overthrow the government from within the government.

If there was true accountability Trump would be in a cell pending trial.

Just a quick check in to let people know it’s still going on here. Midterms are coming and momentum is building. The kraken will be unleashed.
