What a load of bollocks..! The whole world has turned into dipperville, offended by everything and ashamed of nothing .. So glad I grew up in the 70’s when life was so simple …

People have registered and implied that the 70's weren't that good or simple and that you shouldn't refer to them as such.

The new world order is upon us and your opinion means nothing if it doesn't fall into line with the group think, they will eat themselves soon mate.

It's not quite like that.

Bizarrely this started as a joke on 4chan (an 'anything goes' website, with an excess of right wing young men), but it's now been genuinely picked up by the far right, so whether it's offensive depends on the circumstances.

Clearly if you or I made the gesture to signify all was ok, then people getting het up would be ridiculous, but if someone is using it to signify white power then it's genuinely offensive - a bit like making a nazi salute. You would hope that if someone is being sacked, then the employer has a clear understanding of the context.

It’s bollocks because 99.9% of the population associate it with ‘ok’ and it’s the very small fuckwits who find offence with everything.

Mostly the left wing nutjobs. Some friend of mine had shown me a dinner on messenger and I done that emoticon, more like to say it looked spot on. Now I'll have to worry being banged up for being a right wing extremist

Well, I agree that the 1970s were a lot simpler if you were a racist.

Not sure many black people look back to the '70s with misty eyed fondness for simpler times.

Oh do fuck off. Are you suggesting that everyone who was brought up in the 1970’s were racist?? Growing up, I never heard of that word, now it’s become the go to word if you don’t agree with someone of colour or more importantly, people being offended on behalf of others, who actually don’t feel offended …!!
