Yet again the Little Englander Xenophobes manage to infiltrate another innocent thread about beaches, haven't you lot got a life to go to?

Exactly! As soon as I saw the thread-title, I thought "surely no-one can turn this one into an anti-Labour government rant". But they did. As always.
PS Best beaches are in Isle of Wight!

I was at the beach once when I saw a couple of well known BBC staff building sand castles.
They built this huge castle which represented the BBC building and its power. They then made hundreds of tiny little figures no bigger than ants - to represent the poor schmucks that are forced to pay for them.

My fiancés best friend is a Muslim and recently she and her family went to the beach. They had a great time but they didn't enjoy being stared at by a minority of the white folk who got offended by the scarves they were wearing.At least they tried to integrate.Ashame a minority of the English Nationals cannot do the same.

If they dont like getting stared at why dont they bog off back to where they came from?

My favourite beach is at Guantanomo Bay. You get excellent cuisine. It seems all guests have gained at least 20 lbs. Brand new toilets are just part of the wonderful facilities. The staff are unmatched in their obsequeious fawning and will hand you your Quran whilst wearing fine linen gloves so as to pretend to buy into your psychosis. Should you terminate your stay early you can whinge that it's worse than Auschwitz although of course your imman will tellyou the latter never existed!

Tony Blair and his Labour cronies have completely ruined .
Whatever this topic may or may not be about, it is clear that asylum seekers and Labour are to blame. Only when the Tory party in partnership with the BNP are in power will Britain once again be Great, striding the globe like the colossus it once was, smiting its foes and defending liberty, freedom, and the right to bizarre, outrageous views!
Oh hang on beaches - um, Skegness is quite nice isn't it?. . .

Withersea beach, a morning walk as the sun rises, watching the rats scurry between the dog s#1t and back under the hideous rocks put down as sea defences because we can no longer afford to build promenade walls like the Victorians did of old. Beauty beyond measure?

Hello? How come we've started a discussion about muslims? Just because they're muslims doesn't mean you have to pull them apart. Hey -I'm a very strict Christian, but you don't hear the same thing. Imagine
"OOOO look, she goes to church thrice a week."
"Nah, she's not going to church, she's plotting! Christians are like that, you know."
Yeah, I know it was muslims who blew us apart on 7/7, but there have been plenty of other faiths who have tried!. Don't judge a book by its cover...

The Mods just knocked off two of my comments. No insults, no threats, nothing.
I just think someone didn't get their cup of coffee this morning or decided to take out a hard week at the office on HYS participants.

You can engage in barely concealed rascist digs at who goes on the beach and why, side-line the debate on to any topic you like but whatever you do, don't try to be funny and make a funny pun based on the word BEACH.

To me, this exemplifies the paucity of thinking these days. If you're going to fantasise, why not think about Britney AND Christina. Together. On a beach. Just sunbathing, of course. Or maybe reading a book. Perhaps something by Jackie Collins.Or maybe they'll surprise us by reading Tolstoy. On a beach. That would be my favourite beach.

But I thought that you were one of these unemployed layabouts that hang around street corners all day! I am surprised that you pay any tax at all!
Relax dear and let the waves wash those mad thoughts from your brain.
Lovely!

The ignorant bigots strike again. I won't be posting on HYS any more: ever.
Good grief, this was meant to be a simple HYS about beaches, yet it seems that if there is any opportunity to mention race or immigration then the HYS will be abused.
I've got better things to do with my time. The HYS battle has been lost, but the war against ignorance and intolerance isn't over yet. I'll just fight it on my own ground.
PS The best beaches in the UK are all in The Hebrides. Honest.

Yes it was to be fair. But it's Friday and we have a reactively moderated topic so I felt like being mean ;o)

Well, I do not deny that it was masterfully played, sir. Truly, the art of mean transcends international boundaries.

I'm sorry but why does the BBC even have "reactively moderated" topics anymore?

To enable us to chat around the nonsensial topics they give us to debate... and i use that word debate loosely. Time to go home and capture what sun there is left :o)

= self pity. Enjoy your self pity - I am off to the beach. I am 100 yards from the splishy waters of the south coast as we speak. Nice.

They certainly are, I can't remember the last time I had to dodge a floater.

Yet again the Little Englander Xenophobes manage to infiltrate another innocent thread about beaches, haven't you lot got a life to go to?

Can I just say that there are no favourite beaches as Gordon has taxed them out of existence and Tony has banned them because they exclude ethnic minorities. Why, oh why has political correctness gone mad since we were dictated to by Brussels? This country is finished and I'm going to emigrate to a country that actually has beaches without foreigners spoiling it.

Course you all realise now we have let our secret hideaways become public the BBC will fund holidays for societies "poor and needy" to go and destroy them, I can just see waves of Chavs boarding buses paid for by Children in Need, with fags and cheap lager ( thats just the kids) , the parents ( all under 18) will wonder if the council will give em a free house or at least let them cash their giros in the nearest off licence. Lets tell em the best beaches
A survey of the UK's beaches has awarded an excellent bathing water quality rating to 63% of the locations it has tested.
The top rating was given to 494 out of 787 beaches checked by the Marine Conservation Society.
The Blue Flag awards, which are given to the cleanest beaches in England, have also been announced, with 85 beaches winning this particular prize.
Which is your favourite UK beach? Do you agree with this survey? Would you choose a British beach resort over a foreign holiday destination?
