‘Judeo-Christian values’ is such a tell. Who, in Britain, has ever casually dropped ‘Judeo-Christian values’ into any conversation *ever*? This is Farage channeling Bannon. It’s MAGA. Dressing it up as English nationalism is pure pantomime. They’ll have Mother Goose next

@jamesholden007 @darrengrimes @unschoolmyself ...And because of that and the rest, you've zero credibility here for anyone who isn't JUST interested in scapegoating and deflection from the actual crimes, and that you think anything you have to add after 2 days wait is going to have weight is peak audacity.

@jamesholden007 @darrengrimes @unschoolmyself Oh James, I already covered the Per Capita fallacy earlier, and thought it was weird you glided right past it. If you care about victims and the vulnerability of women and children, "per capita" is irrelevant, only the biggest net danger in real terms is. It's clear you don't...

Why are Muslims allowed to close off Trafalgar Square to pray? More importantly who authorised it? This is a blatant domination tactic being employed, why are we caving into it?

Britain is 6% Muslim. Germany 5%. France 10%. Sweden 9%. Belgium 7%. At this rate of Islamic conquest, Europe will be majority Muslim sometime around the year 2847. I’d pencil in some mild concern for around 2600 and see how things look then. Now. The refugees. Since someone asked who’s paying for all this. Let’s follow the money back a bit further. America invaded Afghanistan, spent 20 years there achieving absolutely nothing, then left in such breathtaking chaos that people were literally hanging off aircraft. It then invaded Iraq over weapons that turned out not to exist, killed somewhere between 150,000 and a million people, and converted a functioning country into a sectarian hellscape. This is before we even get to the drones over Yemen, Somalia and Pakistan. The people washing up on European shores are, in very large part, the direct human wreckage of American foreign policy. America created the disaster. Europe is housing the survivors. And America is on the internet asking why Europe keeps letting people in. Remarkable cheek, really. As for eliminating indigenous culture: the United States actually eliminated its indigenous people. Deliberately. With rifles and government paperwork. Europe took in Syrian doctors. These are not comparable situations, and pretending they are requires a truly heroic indifference to history. The culture is fine. France still has the cheese. The Louvre is still there. Bach is still there. Nothing has been eliminated except, apparently, the ability to read a percentage.

Love Dune 84, but the characters seem unbelievable. A diseased orange pedophile who wants to drag everyone into a catastrophic war for his own selfish ends? Pull the other one!

If 'stolen valour' was a meme on Twitter.

Everybody always neglects to mention that Emu survived Rod Hull, of course, and somehow secured his pension, too. There were a few questions about it when all the Savile stuff came to light, but I think we all figured: c’mon, he’s just a bird, it’s not like he ever hurt anyone.

Matt Forde [as Sir Keir Starmer]: ...and that's why digital ID Cards will be introduced immediately! Guest Tony Blair: Thank you. What took you so bloody long Keir!! Josh Widdicombe: [Squinting at cue card written by MI5 agent] We should raise the state pension age to 90.

imagining superman saying rude things, then shaking my head wistfully and correcting myself, “he would never say that”

These people will do fucking ANYTHING to not have to look at their granddads and uncles and husbands and mates as possible dangers, so it's impossible to take their concern-trolling about the safety of women and children remotely seriously.

@jamesholden007 @darrengrimes @unschoolmyself Let's be very clear, though, James. If you actually gave a shit about any of this, or were even just sincerely, academically curious, you would have looked this stuff up for yourself. You're a concern-trolling, virtue-signalling hack.

He was certainly afraid of Vietnam-style combat in Vietnam.

@jamesholden007 @darrengrimes @unschoolmyself Actually, no. It is a fact, not an opinion, that white men do not need to convert to Islam to be dangerous to women. This isn't a controversial or counter-factual observation, & it's not great for your credibility if you either don't get, or opt to lie or dissemble about, it.

@nixsight @darrengrimes @unschoolmyself Ah yes. Merely your opinion. No facts.

@Markosia *Should go without saying caveats around differentiating between groups of ultra-conservatives and acknowledging that evangelicals and other sects aren't absent in these movements.

@Markosia Well, they don't really do it for the most part, do they? If even HALF the people loudly proclaiming that this is a Christian Cuntry actually WENT to church or were remotely devout, there wouldn't be so many churches collapsing and they wouldn't be such vile shits.*

Why is the right so triggered by people praying?

all the resource-sink advancements in machine learning will never replicate the lovingly-crafted vision of one auteur pervert for the simple fact that to thirst, to hubba-hubba, to awooga is to be uniquely and exceptionally 𝘩𝘶𝘮𝘢𝘯

@jamesholden007 @darrengrimes @unschoolmyself Mind I didn't share any stats, and I didn't 'compare' anything, so you may just be a bit confused.

@jamesholden007 @darrengrimes @unschoolmyself It's really, really not. And yes, reactionary conservatism and fundamentalism - whether it's religious (regardless of religion) or atheist, whatever stripe of ideology, is absolutely a political consideration, and absolutely leads more often to violence and abuse.
