To be honest I don't see any good reason why Twitter would ban anyone for that? How is this anything like Wiley going full on racist rant for a whole day? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you're fine with her going round bullying children and spouting the shite she does just because you agree with her basically. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has cropped up here before, as it happens, and the answer is the same as it was before. Why go for the obvious ISIS-style approach like that when you can just attain a position of power and ensure legislation is passed in employment, healthcare and various other areas that makes their lives a misery/difficult in a variety of different ways? It's not as spectacular and probably doesn't result in as many bodies on the floor, but if your aim is to inflict suffering on those folks simply because of who they are, then it gets the job done. And the best thing about it? It's indirect and therefore deniable, which means one can turn around and say "but hey, I'm not responsible for their terrible lives!" and one can also get people (like, with respect, yourself) saying that things are actually OK and there's not a lot wrong simply because there's not much visible blood being spilled. And so with a nice bit of PR, it can be done for as long as one likes without being too worried about consequences. Smart, huh?

leicsmac Posted 31 July 2020 Share Posted 31 July 2020 https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-53603501 Obviously I like what Barack is saying here, but I do wish he'd done more to address the weakness of the system against voter suppression when he had the power to do so. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-53599363 Pretty sure that Trump,along with everyone and their mother, knows that the election can't be moved or delayed, not really, anyway. This ain't about that - it's about establishing a platform to challenge the results in the courts by saying they're not legit if and when Trump loses.

Well you're not because you've completely missed the point, what Wiley said is apart of his religion at the end of the day, people love to defend islam but they have similar views regarding the jewish people. Not that i agree with his statements either.I'm talking about Riley's actions on a whole, she goes around bullying children and lying most of the time, but because her image is that shes standing up to anti semitism it's completely ignored and approved. You either cancel them both or let them both carry on imo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
String fellow Posted 31 July 2020 Share Posted 31 July 2020 From midnight tonight, most over-75s will probably be breaking the law! Why, because they don't (yet) have a tv licence. Personally, I think it's wrong we should be forced to pay for a service that we don't necessarily use at all. If none of my computer equipment is set up to view BBC programming, my tv aerial is removed and my satellite dish points at a satellite other than Astra 28E, how can such a charge of nearly £160 p/a be justified? Maybe the BBC should consider slashing the ludicrous salaries handed out to some of their presenters, including Gary Lineker, so that hard-up pensioners don't end up paying for their luxury lifestyles. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The BBC ought to be stripped down and funded by the taxpayer. I think there's merit in providing a news service independent of the government and private interests. By all means have a privately funded wing offering the entertainment services. Edited 31 July 2020 by LiberalFox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely the answer to all hatred be is racism, homophobia, sexism or anything else is education? No matter what someone’s age is, we should always be looking to educate? I don’t care if it’s Tommy Robinson or the 12 year old kid who abused Zaha on Twitter, the answer is always education. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you educate someone against their beliefs? very difficult to turn around decades of indoctrination in some people ......... statistically there will always be arseholes ...... if there weren’t then how would we know that we aren’t arseholes !

leicsmac Posted 2 August 2020 Share Posted 2 August 2020 https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-53597137 A darkly interesting read. I think it goes without saying that special forces aren't going to be squeaky clean, and when things go sideways as they seemingly have here the establishment is going to parrot the line of "national security" and go with a cover-up.

Thankfully I don't see any of her stuff anymore. As soon as someone goes back at her she cries off. She uploaded a photo of herself in a shirt saying "Jeremy Corbyn is a racist" and the photo had been edited from when Corbyn was demonstrating against Apartheid. That was never right.

The planners at a nearby hospital wanted 13 weeks to approve a new oxygen tank to be installed as part of the Covid preparations. As long as the government are unable to do what they say because the civil servants are being difficult, we will see more and more power being transferred to Westminster.

That being said it's best to avoid speculation on names as only 1 in about 9 or 10 of those names has been accused of something when the others are wrongly having their names dragged through the mud all over the internet. Also the name has been withheld to protect the victims identity. My point is if you dig you'll find answers. Should you dig? No. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On top of the authorisation of increased permitted development rights, this. I don't know much of Jenrick but it is clear as day the bloke does not know how this stuff works and he is just wanting to line the pockets of his pals. This is bad bad news long term.
