I mean, imagine the reaction if Sadiq Khan went to Pakistan and said this?

My post is probably anti-Semitic too.

Yep. Because that's where 'Labour' are now.

Must have been bad, I worked for CAT in Kent in the early 80s (nothing to do with BP) and the pay and living and working conditions were utterly atrocious and actually downright dangerous. Hated every second of it and couldn't get out of there fast enough.

Thats an easy one. It's because they're fascists.

Are they going to pull out any gold teeth as well? Doesn't sound a bit like fascism, this.

source: p36 of this document. In 2023 (the latest figures available), fewer than 4k people in Eng + Wales reported finds to the PAS (p5). If there's 50k detectorists in this country (almost certainly a lot more), under 10% of them report their finds to the PAS #archaeology

I think if I also remember correctly, he was kicked out of the IfA for his behviour, but it was a long time ago and my memory is getting a bit fuzzy these days.

I didn't know BP was a Kipper either. He's one of the very few people took a stand against contract tender in the earliest days when Oxford began tendering for sites in Kent (IIRC). I assumed it was because he was anti-capitalist, but it seems it was he just doesn't like people who are Not Local 😁

You probably could have stopped after your first nine words, tbh

It's exactly the same here, just not as blatant.
