hypochondriac

He sounds exactly like every fbpe reply I see under every tweet from Laura kuennsberg.

Which is a big reason why things like this will keep happening and keep surprising you.

I expect you were dumbfounded why anyone would vote trump or brexit as well.

Innocent until proven guilty you say?

Couldn't disagree more. People are completely free to believe whatever made up nonsense they like and indeed wear whatever they like within reason but you have no more legitimacy or freedom from ridicule if you claim to follow a religion than you do if you don't and are just wearing something that makes you look ridiculous for the sake of it. That's what freedom is.

You could apply the same principle to a sikh turban or a habit yes. All religious garments should be fair game for ridicule though obviously aggressively confronting anyone in the street should never happen. I think many pieces of religious clothing look silly but the burkha in particular looks mad because it covers the entire body and is just impractical as well as oppressive as I already mentioned.

Nope I don't think aggressively confronting a woman like that in that fashion is acceptable. Not in any way the same thing as highlighting how ridiculous they look in an article which had a wider context.

I don't consider it healthy to hold people responsible when thick people do things in their name unless it's a direct call for violence and even then the ultimate responsibility lies with the people commiting the acts. If some right wingers use a comment about letterboxes to be bigoted towards some Muslims then that responsibility lies entirely with them, I wouldn't want responsibility to be abdicated to others. The point stands- we should absolutely be free to criticise or laugh at Islam and all its supposed trappings in the same way we can do it to Christianity and the aburd things that go with that. Actually there's not much more British than poking fun at a religion and its pomposity.

What difference does it make if its a religion? Ignoring the fact that Islam doesn't require you to wear a burqa.

An article that correctly identified the garment as ridiculous (and oppressive) yet nevertheless defended the right for people to wear it even though they could be subject to ridicule for doing so. I agree with that 100%. It's actually the polar opposite of what I opposed which was the stifling of religious criticism under the guise of Islamaphobia. A relative of my wife faces pressure to wear the niqab and I think it's abhorrent.

I think the ill defined definition of Islamaphobia as "an expression of racism that targets expressions of Muslimness or perceived Muslimness" is an incredibly alarming definition that Labour want the country to adopt. Its one of the reasons I don't want them in power.

Not sure we'll see much more of Jonathan Ashworth...

Lol.

It is when Swinsons involved.

He's only one man. He's leading the brave socialist fight against the media establishment. You can only expect so much from Jezza.

Do you think the BBC are pro brexit?

A struggle against reality.

It's all a media conspiracy. Will you be justifying more violence on Friday if antifa take out their frustrations on the public?

Not so quick with the "witty" robot remarks there lad. I've clearly touched a nerve.

The long march goes on. Revolution now.

Jonnyboy seems nervous.

Tick tock. Not long to go.

I'm sure that pretending all dissenting voices aren't real people makes it easier to cope with being a fanatical corbyn supporter but unfortunately you can't use that sort of deflection with the vote on Thursday. We will see how many people think like me and will reject the Corbyn McDonnell project.

Rest assured that you aren't stupid because you vote Labour.
