My eyes are open, yours may be behind tinted spectacles through which you view the world. People who get arrested for Twitter abuse don't "criticise Islam", you're acting like its sweet grannies debunking theological flaws in the religion, it never is. You're being disingenuous (likely on...
I went to the UAE and Oman. Nobody tried to kill me. Nobody forced converted me. Nobody tried to get me to wear specific clothing. Nobody attempted to decapitate me.
I was incredibly disappointed.
And who exactly are the "liberals"? Do you even understand what liberalism is or is it just anybody who disagree with you and doesn't automatically want anybody who owns a Quran to be deported?
Again, sources. Please, once again, provide legitimate impartial sources where somebody has lost...
Going to explain how that remotely ties into liberalism? I must have missed the tenet that stated all dangerous criminals must be left on the streets if there's sufficient evidence they're a risk.
Good summary Abertawe, it's also worth pointing out that we've been treating Wahhabism with kid's gloves since it's first inception, when it first expanded we were very careful to only act against their tributaries the Qawasim in Ras al-Khaimah, British fleets were specifically under...
It could be this crazy notion that Islamic extremism and fundamentalism and Islam more broadly aren't one in the same, if EVERY practitioner of it genuinely wanted us dead, we'd not be sat having this conversation as there's enough of them to have killed way more of us.
We do condemn Islamic...
It was indeed a generalised statement, I agree, it was more a rough outline as to why perhaps we might give these countries cash that isn't so altruistic as "foreign aid" as a label represents, we have plenty of motives for providing it, hence removing it isn't feasible or plausibly going to...
Nigeria has significant oil reserves for one, Sierra Leone had large diamond exports, many of them also import from us, by investing "foreign aid" we foster relations, improve conditions that would otherwise not be and also increase the demand for UK products into their economies, we're Sierra...
Foreign aid is not entirely altruistic, quite often it is simply investing in countries we hope to develop beneficial trade deals with in the future, helping develop their countries is almost certainly done with an expectation of some sort of reciprocal kindness down the line when they've got...
Anybody seriously advocating for mass faith based deportations (and I don't just mean as a result of exasperated desperation as a reaction to these barbaric attacks) is essentially saying they just want to push the problem somewhere else where they don't feel as much emotional attachment to the...
A bigger concern for me is what this does to older people themselves, who've worked all their lives to leave something behind when they're gone, how guilty they will feel for clinging on a little longer, being made to feel selfish for not popping their clogs sooners by the state so their kids...
It is monumentally stupid. Not only is it demonstrating once again she will willingly buckle to pressure, but she's shown her hand, we've seen what sort of policies she will dream up, what's stopping her U-turning again and putting it back in as harshly as she previous desired because she's got...
"Strong and stable" Theresa bottles it again and backtracks on the Dementia Tax, remind me how this is the woman we are describing as a strong and stable hand in government?
I'll be honest a Tory hard Brexit tinged with their ideological desires and a carte blanche licence to persue them fills me with dread. I think it will do untold damage to our country and take decades to reverse some of the insidious bile they'll have planned. I don't know where this narrative...
