Tell me, what's the difference between this man and a member of the Taliban other than his wife doesn't have to wear a burqa and can vote (as long as she votes "correctly")?

 

 

He's not a member of a maniaical death cult?

Matter of opinion, I would say.

I am no fan of religion, including Christian nutters, but I think they are still a way from the Taliban.  Their girls still go to school I believe.

I am not going to find comfort in their being ever so slightly less despicable than the Taliban.

I was referring to this man specifically, and IMO the only reason he and his do not have women behaving identically to in Afghanistan at the present time is because they thankfully lack the political power to do so. But, as you can see here, they're surely going to try to exert such attitudes where they can. 

 

The mindset, and intent, is more or less the same and I'm not sure how that's not obvious.

There are some Christians in the USA who homeschool their children. For girls, this is specifically to train them to be obedient wives and homemakers.

The entire right wing machine talking down the country and what a dangerous hellscape it is, while the national crime survey that's out today shows an entirely different picture, with crime hugely down since the 90s. violence down 78%, burglary down 85%, crime in general down hugely. 

Fraud and shoplifting are up, for balance, but generally a really positive picture over a 30 year period while farage, the telegraph etc would bizarrely have you believe we're entirely lawless. 

I knew the Tories and their ilk wouldn't learn anything from their decade and a half of disgrace but their behaviour since losing to Labour has been even more disgusting than I could have predicted. A truly monstrous bunch of ****s.

Do they open these home lessons up to others? Asking for friend....

Did the crime go up in the time then shoot down in 2024? I've not seen the articles in question.
