If any forumites are having a day sail to Cowes on Saturday, I'm sure you will be excited to hear about the Black Lives Matter protest in Newport.
Conditions are particularly repressive in the local ghetto, so please show your support. Starts at 12 noon.IMG_0466.JPG

is Newport open for visiting yachts? usual arrangements?
I have recently seen a few yachts come right up the river on a tide, and hang on the Newport HM pontoons on the E side of the river.
You need to be ok to settle in the mud. It's a lot easier within a couple of days of springs. You are vanishingly unlikely to get any batflu nazis caring if you sleep overnight etc. Go for it.

Why am I not surprised that you don’t take seriously the very real issues of discrimination and racism faced by black people ?

Your post’s link to sailing is tenuous, and I see no place for this thread on this forum.

I don't know why you're 'not surprised'. Judging by your copied-and-pasted passive aggressive outrage, and your execrable style, might I politely hazard a guess that you are a dastardly 'bot planted by the Leftwaffe?
Failing that, tant pis, a Guardian intern?
Cowes is the yachting epicentre of the known sailing cosmos, and adored and loved, or hated in some quarters, by many yachtsmen. A potentially riotous demo is of enormous interest to Solent sailors, especially if there is any prospect of looting!
All Hail Boudica, Queen of the Iceni!

Thats just made up stuff to make you seem important on a forum that isnt for politics. In my opinion. Here endeth my input to this thread. ✌

It's all in the dictionary, maybe you should pick one up some time.
Did you want the 5-minute argument, or the whole half-hour?

Sailing and politics are inseperable. I'm not allowed to mention boats in the politics section, or politics in the sailing section,
Ideas are expressed in words, I love writing jolly jokey language, and it seems rather mean-spirited (and one might even say crass) of you to carp about my posts, don't poison your 'internet' part of life, just to revile random guys posting their thoughts.
The thing with writing stuff is..well yes, it is just 'made up stuff' but it's not made up from nowhere or nothing. Fair winds to you.

Nope. I’m just someone who lives in the 21st century, rather than languishing nostalgically in the 1950s (or indeed, it would appear in 1930s Germany in your case)

Watch it. There are a LOT of Germans on the IOW. Last time I asked 10% of the Island's GPs were German!
Indeed, because there was a POW camp locally, for the toughest German prisoners where we had to ( humanely and jollily) cage such random boxheads which we'd picked up on our travels, as fallschirmjagers for example. I strongly suspect that Aryan DNA is floating about, thanks to certain local lasses of ill repute, AKA 'horizontal collaborators'.
(Ostensibly a Caulkhead , but with 10 fingers rather than 12? Perfect teeth? The Waffen-SS were very selective!)
I wonder if you have ever been interrogated by my GP, Frau Magier? She has ways of making you talk :)

Kein Wunder- ich habe die Praxis im Internet gesucht und alle vier dort sind Frauen. Wenn sie alle schön sind, lohnt es sich, krank zu werden. :LOL:
