Religions should have to be licenced and all religious texts should carry a health warning saying: “some of the content of this book is probably untrue and could be harmful to those of weak mind”

I don’t know whether Salman Rushdie deserves a knighthood or not and, as a staunch republican, I would think twice about accepting an honour from the queen even if she gave me one.

Be that as it may, the knighthood is a sign that we in the west will never bow down to the tyranny of radical islam or any other totalitarian religions including the…[Read more]

“I’m surprised the IRA never had any suicide bombers.”
“Actually they did try out the idea but nobody survived the training course.”

boom boom

I never found Bernard Manning’s jokes particularly funny but he was one of those people who was just funny to look at, which I guess was an advantage in the stand-up comedy world. Another such comedian was Les Dawson, whose jokes WERE very funny.

In an age where we are bombarded with nasty, foul-mouthed comedians who make sick jokes (e.g. Billy…[Read more]

Every time I wonder if George Bush is bad I just need to think about the alternative – Osama Bin Laden, Al Zawahiri, Abu Hamza…….. Bush represents, to the west at least, the lesser of two evils.

But just because I’m a liberal, atheist, anti-monarchy, pro-EU leftie, don’t assume that people would have that much of an easier time they’s get…[Read more]

Smiley would end up as the last person left in the country and then it would be easy for all of us exiled commies to put together a little militia with the help of the combined brainpower of a few chavs and make him sign an agreenment to abide by all EU regulations!!!

I agree, Waspish. We and other free countires, while promoting freedom, have allowed the establishment of outposts of a totalitarian islamic empire to occur here. It is a parallel with the 1970’s when the trade unions and universities were infiltrated by Marxists.

Now Sainsbury’s is 25% owned by the royal family of Qatar. Time to start boycotting?!!!!

The root of the Palestinian issue is that there are 2 groups of people – Israelis who are mostly Jews and Palestinians who are mostly Muslims, who both lay claim to the same land but cannot live in peace together.

Hamas has brought islamic fundamentalism into the battle that was previously a territorial dispute with legitimate claims by both sides.

This inter-islamic violence, such as is also going on in Iraq between Sunni Al Qaeda and Shias backed by Iran (both these groups hate the west) is what I think could ultimately draw Iraq’s neighbours Iran and Saudi Arabia into conflict. This might buy some breathing space for the west but it would be terrible news for the millions of moderate…[Read more]

The mayor obviously understands this, as he is not a pro-sexual assault liberal (such as yourself).

Since that remark comes from JC’s regular village idiot armchair Colonel Blimp cybopath, I’ll ignore it!

Oh – Now I remember – Smiley is Tommy – undiluted and spitting nails!!!

I like something to fire me up sometimes!

My own eradication programme would be to rid the land of any of the last traces of punk.
Ban all punk music, punk clothes, hairstyles etc. until history forgets that this embarrassing episode in the history of our rock/youth culture has disappeared from our collective memories. LOL!

I mean, so many people were hoodwinked by a handful of blatant…[Read more]

I think a lot of muslims must feel like prisoners of their faith. I mean it seems un-natural that so few speak out and I think it’s because they are scared, not because they are sympathetic to the extremists.

An interesting study for a brave investigative journalist would be looking into what forms (if any) of internal policing and co-ercion are…[Read more]

It’s just sad that 3 people died in an accident during the Isle of Man TT races. Predictable, but very sad.

Since the Isle of Man is not part of the UK, the safety, or otherwise, of the TT races is really is not something the media can turn into a major domestic issue.

I could never be accused of having any sort of liking for islam – read some of my older posts. I am a militant atheist. If I knew any muslim people, which I don’t at present, I would probably like some and not others, as with any section of the population, but I will never be made to like their religion or any other religion.

By far the…[Read more]

You tell me? Why do superbike enthusiasts ride their bikes along our local by-pass at 150 mph? Why do things get stolen from shops? It’s called breaking the law and some people do it and often they get away with it. They shouldn’t, but they do.

Anyone who puts up a poster inciting hatred is breaking the law, actually.

What was Scotland being compared with? It is not a country in its own right, but part of te UK, so it can’t be compared to Belgium, Netherlands, Ireland or other sovereign nations.

If it was being compared to Bavaria, Brittany, Catalonia or other semi-autonomous regions, that would be a valid comparison.

I have known people who exert power through portraying themselves as victim.

Scale this up to portraying a whole group of people as victims (whether true or false) and you have a revolutionary political movement.

It’s at times like this I feel like reaching for my red flag!!!!!

Red flag to a bull???? LOL
