Your math is right. So what? It was actually 36% who voted to leave. But so what? nobody voted for a hard brexit, or a soft brexit – just for a brexit. That’s all I’m talking about – at the moment.

You should reread that post. France has overtaken us in terms of an economy measured by the exchange rate. That rate defined the UK as the 5th…[Read more]

Well, drac, you’re misinterpreteting laicité in France, overdoing its problems withr egard to religion.

It means the official separation of state and church, and a ban on any church affecting public policy.

That is something I entirely support.

It was liberal on public symbols until 2005 when a ban on certain religious  symbols was passed, a…[Read more]

drac,

48% voted to Remain.

They’ll vote for whoever allows them to express their anger. In this case it was the Lib Dems. The people of Richmond trusted them.

May will have to take account of the fact that a large section of the Tory vote will be very angry if there’s a hard brexit and a car crash results.

If the car crash results, then an…[Read more]

very good, arc

no, in the wider picture, it could be incredibly important.

BUT – it could be made meaningless by one event (see below)

First – why important? It should wake Theresa may up to the fact that a lot of Tory voters are very angry at Brexit and are ready to punish her party. There was a huge 21% swing; Witney a couple of months ago saw a 19% sawing…[Read more]

Great news!!!

The Lib Dems won. A huge Tory majority overturned.

My boy sent me a text saying that he had to hold his nose when he voted for them, but anything to get that dogwhistle racist out. The Labour vote collapsed.

Much more importantly.this is a warning to May against a hard Brexit.  After a filthy campaign, a narrow majority…[Read more]

So, drac, what’s the difference between a Muslim and an Islamist?

BB – hahaha. You’re like SHR – no disagreeing with you, is there?

The brothers have your address, BB. Be afraid, be very afraid

sala’am – bows to Mecca and starts to froth at the mouth as I rant against Western values…

but wait, aren’t freedom of speech and religion…[Read more]

you had a mini brainwave, grandpa? That was actually funny – a little.

Well, drac, that is not quite what it says. The poll points to Muslim students, not all Muslims. Students do tend to be more attracted to radicalism anyway.

Even so, these are very worrying statistics, and thank you for them.

The polling was carried out by the Centre for Social Cohesion, which is right-leaning, but still it’s respectable,…[Read more]

My PC won’t play that Lily Allen vid – it says that the content is from WMG (whatever that is) and not avilable in this country.

The Cilla Black one is the one I know from my teens, but it is a bot histrionic – I don’t like her as a singer. I much preferred Dionne Warwick’s Anyone who had a heart to her version.

You don’t come across as stupid, Ms K. Certainly not as much as i do.

But while there is no real discrimination against Muslims in official life (that I know of), that doesn’t mean that they’re integrated.

First, there is the sharia law which they practise. I believe that several communities practice their own legal system privately, not…[Read more]

Not at all…Marriage is a form of property. To have several wives – I think about a dozen, in his case – was a symbol of his wealth and power, and he dressed accordingly.

Polygamy is fine by me, though we’re not allowed here, but to be faair the wives should be allowed to ahve several husbands, too. This is not allowed in Islam.

Which is one…[Read more]

does anyone remember Alfie Bass?

Bootsie of Bootsie and Snudge.

I even remember him in The Army Game, whihc really was in the early Middle Ages

psssst…Slack Alice with a Turban is the terror of the Muslims everywhere, with a long history of sliced islamic heads  mixed with cucumber and tomato…

they fear her, and rightly so!!!

I taught Muslims at one point in my life, and they were very very respectful. One Nigerian guy – about 20 – had several wives. I asked him if they each…[Read more]

good point, Martin.

Christianity and Islam are evangelistic – they seek to convert.

Most muslims do not advocate violence. They seek peaceful conversion.

They see jihad – holy war – in terms of evangelising, just as Christians conduct a holy war in non-military terms (Onward, Christian soldiers).

I don’t like Islam, but I’ve found the Muslims…[Read more]

more than rude if the conversation, or rather monologue as you can’t reply, goes something like…

“really bad here, well not all really bad, but some of  it is appalling…eeeew, that is horrible to look at…oh, God! look at that section, that is really going to hurt when I pull those bu**ers out..oh stop shaking while I’m looking in your gob,…[Read more]
