DH went to Birmingham, yesterday and ate a curry when he got back 🤔

I was using Google maps, earlier, to see if there was any particular cause of the queue of traffic past our house and he said something about how hard it would be to boycott it for selectively renaming places on a country's whim (referring to the Gulf of Mexico which apparently now appears as Gulf of America in the US). I pointed out to him that the English Channel is not called the English Channel on French maps.

It has been deleted, thankfully. The OP has an agenda, for sure.

Was it Braverman who started that thread?

At a speech in the UK, at the Heritage Foundation, Suella Braverman has said that in 20 years from now the UK could be "the first Islamist nation with nuclear weapons" and "the greatest strategic threat to the USA".

Quotes attached.

Conservative spokesperson says they have no comment on the speech.

Oh why doesn't she just join Reform?

Will Badenoch withdraw the whip? I bet not.

Braverman is hiding behind words - the direct quote says that she is quoting Vance. VP Vance says that we were going to be the first Islamist nation with nuclear weapons (obviously never heard of Pakistan).

But does make me wonder at the timing of Braverman's speech and that particular deleted thread. Funny that they should pop up on the same day.

Has the Great Replacement Theory been so openly pushed by Braverman or indeed any Conservative MP before?

Imagine working on Pakistan nuclear capability and hearing that ? Did any "journalist" point that out, or are they all stenographers for the Tories now ?

She is very careful isn’t she, just asking the question.

Like many mn threads

"She is very careful isn’t she, just asking the question.

Yep.

Journalists - or are they all just stenographers for the Tories now?
Jane , you have such a way with words.

Notwithstanding they totally forgot about Pakistan, are they saying all the non-Islamist countries with nuclear capability are okay then? Because, I don't know, Christian, atheist, Hindu and Jewish countries would never use them? Has Vance already forgotten that tne one country that did use them in a war was the USA?

I think facts merely detract from peoples lived experiences.

Braverman should have been sacked as Home Secretary. Presume she imagines in this world white is might she's right up there given her brass buttons jacket and the neck to go with it.

Worse than Powell. She is real poison for the UK

Ooo has it? I reported it and was told it didn’t breach rules and I should ‘challenge on the thread ’ I replied to say it was disinformation and allowing this sort of stuff was ruining MN.

Maybe a few people said the same and HQ saw sense.

Hope so @PandoraSox

I've had challenge on the thread replies, I challenged on the thread and was deleted.

There seem to be more people challenging the bollocks today though. Unless I've just been lucky with my skim reading.

Someone just kindly informed me one of my posts has been deleted. I hadn't even noticed and can't remember now what I said! Still, it was nice of them to let me know. 🤗

I saw that one, nice of her to keep tabs on you

I'm sure mnet used to send you a naughty girl email when they deleted posts. Now I don't think they they bother.

Eta think

I have never had a notification when I got deleted, it was just other posters laughing at it that made me notice it.

No, I only ever heard from MN when I was put on the naughty step two or three times🫣. I have learned my lesson there and avoided it for ages now.

I definitely got a notification a few years ago because I challenged it.

She could be posting on here for all we know. 🙄

Did the will Britain become an islamic state thread get deleted?
