It could be a desire to not making society pluralistic, so that certain elements of the Equality Act can be scrapped and, by dint of, a way to leave the ECHR.

I think it's because they are just vile and thick as pigshit.

Chaque a son gout (as they doubtless would never say)

You said it more eloquently than myself.

Russia ‘interfered’ in 2016 Brexit vote, says Andy Burnham

UK prime minister calls for European voters to be better informed about efforts to disrupt democratic process

As a practicing Catholic this behaviour is so offensive. The way I learnt more about Islam was a series of talks at our church and a visit to a mosque. Through which I know a small amount about Islamic beliefs about and respect for Jesus.

regular posters on this thread and attending the anti marches and rallies embody Christian values these people don’t understand. They aren’t just Christian or religious values either, they are basic human values across all societies. They have not been lived up to by many people(including me). However this is twisting not even trying to live up to anything.

This is a summary of what Burnham has said. Clickable link.

I learnt about Islam through geography and ancient history lessons plus, essentially, the missions.

I wonder if it would be possible to lay a free vote in parliament ...

"This house recognises the 2016 referendum was actively targeted by hostile states"

FWIW

That would be an interesting move.

Agree. It would sniff out the bad players.

The wording could be refined.

It wouldn't commit anyone to anything, but if passed (as a free vote) it would spike the guns of people who say democracy louder than they practice it.

E2A: it would give media commentators a chance to correct...

Brexiteer: "The will of the people"
Interviewer "The will of some people"

Thus laying the groundwork for Brexiteers to have to fight a rearguard action, as momentum grows for rapprochement

Parliament back today - seems to have been a long conference season this year

With Brexit back on the table.

And Desperate Nige is going for ice style mass deportations.

Including the Leader of the Opposition.

This one is solely aimed at asylum seekers and at those who blame them for everything that is wrong in this country.

It will mean that more decent people will stand up against him.

Badenoch has compared online cancel culture to lynchings she witnessed in Nigeria.

And apparently Daily Mail comments have turned against her.

The comments section in the Telegraph isn't exactly glowing either.

It's yet more self sabotage

lots of comments on Threads this morning that since the Russian Data Centre was taken down Bot activity has significantly decreased - wonder will there be an impact here.

Musk is upset

Seems a Nigerian heritage has it's uses then ....

Shame.

Our Mate Phil pointed out a few months ago that her boneheaded devotion to Net Zero was almost tailored to piss off the country squire Tories who are sensitive to the environment.

It wasn't perfect. But when it was "broad church"/"one nation", the Conservatives could generally appeal to a lot of people with something - certainly enough to stop them straying too far to another party.

That could equate to a 0.001% energy saving in the UK. As servers have to do that little bit less to block attacks ....
