  1. You obviously missed my earlier reply as I've already answered this. I think it's a great thing that one of the largest mass killers of Muslims is dead, you seem to think its a bad thing.
  2. Corbyn got grief because he is leading a major political party that is being investigated by the ehrc for systemic anti-semitism. Boris is not so he the reaction has not been as big. Ffs how is that a difficult concept to grasp?
  3. If you can tell within a set time limit then its offside. The margin will be much bigger and less pedantic. Its not perfect but better than the current implementation.
  4. So experts in the region consider this development to be a good thing and yet self appointed expert spggy and woke celebs thinks its bad. Gotcha. You would do well to heed the advice below and I never said it was strategic:
  5. Most of them answer your questions from people who actually are experts. In short you don't know what you're talking about.
  6. Sums you up. You'd rather feel morally superior-even if it's unjustified- and lose the election.
  7. Oh right so the tory party Islamic prejudice issue is at a lower and less serious level than the anti-semitism in the Labour Party then yes? Maybe you have your answer then about why it wasn't treated as the same level of seriousness in the media... Your contention was that the evil right wing media treated systemic antisemitism in the Labour Party with a greater degree of severity than they treated examples of anti-Muslim bigotry in the Conservative party because they are evil and right wing. My view is that they treated it more seriously because it is a more serious issue as you yourself have admitted and as they ehrc investigation proves.
  8. IF he sticks to his guns then for 1st time in my life I will vote #Labour - right now NOTHING is more important than resisting the psychotic rush to #WW3 of Boris & the #neocons The point is that all sorts of objectionable people vote for political parties you may have voted for. It doesn't mean you align with them in all areas or that you are somehow associated with them. It's a weird smear tactic.
  9. Is that a guess? Or fact?
  10. Nick Griffin voted for the Labour Party like you did. Do you share his opinions?
  11. Is the problem with anti-Muslim prejudice from lone individuals in the Conservative party comparable with the systemic anti-semitism within the Labour Party? If it is at a similar level then why have the EHRC opened an investigation into Labout anti-semitism yet have not done so for the Conservatives?
  12. Doesn't seem like our sort of player.
  13. Interesting. I wonder if what I was told was in any way accurate or a load of guff?
  14. If the Iranians hadn't messed around and captured American and UK ships, hadn't killed thousands under the command of Soleimani and hadn't recently caused trouble at the US embassy in Iraq then it's unlikely that Trump would have killed the terrorist and all these people would probably still be alive.
  15. You can stamp your feet and present opinion as fact as much as you like but it doesn't make it true. Meanwhile the ehrc are still investigating labour for systemic anti-semitism. Why do you think they have not deemed it necessary to do the same for the Conservatives?
  16. I know concepts like this are hard for you to grasp but it was very clearly hyperbole in an article from a number of years ago in the context of defending their right to wear the garments whilst also admitting that they look ridiculous (which they do.) Islamaphobia is an invented word weaponised even against those who have legitimate criticisms of the religion. There isn't even an accepted definition beyond the farcical idea that it is a "type of racism that targets expressions of Muslimness or perceived Muslimness." Anti-Muslim prejudice is a real thing and it's a factually accurate description. That's your first Tommy Robinson and Katie Hopkins name check for the year, two personalities you are clearly obsessed with. I should keep a tally.
  17. You're talking your normal guff. I haven't changed in the slightest, I'll continue to call out your mad posts I'm not sure what gave you the impression I wouldn't. Iran shoots down a plane and in your mind and the minds of some other mad lefty loons its Trump to blame for it. Would you be saying the same thing of Obama? Of course you wouldn't, people like you quite liked Obama so you wouldn't be blaming him despite him being the drone striker in chief.
  18. The only people at fault for Iran blowing up a plane are Iran.
  19. They did look like letter boxes and bank robbers he was completely correct. His article defended their right to wear it but also the right for people to say it makes them look ridiculous. Personally I think oppressive religious garments should be ridiculed because nowhere in the Qaran does it mention wearing these horrible things. If my wife faced social pressure and had been indoctrinated from birth to accept it then I'd be appalled.I've said to you before that Islamaphobia doesn't exist and is an invention from those who don't want to accept criticism of their religious. What you were searching for is Anti-Muslim prejudice and it is certainly true that members of the Tory party have expressed some anti-Muslim sentiments but it's not a credible comparison to compare that with anti-semitic problem within Labour. There has been no racist hounding of Muslim Tories from members of their own party- Sajid Javid did rather well in the leadership election. Where is the Muslim equivalent of Luciana Berger in the Tory party who resigned after relentless abuse often anti-semitic in nature from other members of the Party? At the Conservative Party conference have there been reports of people shouting Anti-Muslim slogans at Party members? If the two problems are one and the same then where is the Equality and Human Rights commission investigation into so-called Islamaphobia in the Tory party?
  20. No one said we shouldn't pay for their travel but as I said, travel costs have doubled whilst state visit costs have stayed the same since meghan and Harry got married.
  21. Also just heard that one trip to Fiji cost the tax payer 81k last year and travel costs have apparently doubled for the entire Royal family since meghan married Harry but state visit costs have remained the same which suggests we are all paying for their holidays.
  22. Here's a good article which sums up my thoughts well: https://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2020/01/prince-harry-meghan-markle-hypocrisy-royals/604714/
  23. I don't agree but let's say for the sake of argument that you're correct so we can discount the climate change lectures as a reason for people being annoyed. Do you disagree with the rest of my analysis?
  24. Multiple private jet flights on a number of holidays isn't really the same thing is it.
  25. I meant the content of his speech. It was well received because he was telling a room of woke celebrities that people don't like being preached to.
