The Politics Thread

[Jerboa]

I can't recall anyone being cancelled because of criticism of Islam.
Now criticism of Israel. Well that's a different matter. Even Jews aren't immune from that cancellation.

Tommy Robinson for one. The mass rape of hundreds of thousand of British girls, because the police and government covered up, I could on, it's clear people in this country have been cancelled for criticism of Islam.

The Trump administration has unveiled sweeping sanctions on the International Criminal Court (ICC) in a significant acceleration of its attempt to "dismantle" what it sees as a "rogue" institution.

IN AN ENTIRELY UNRELATED MATTER

Former ICC judge Navi Pillay was awarded the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize for her efforts to promote peace and international law.

This is not a rebuke to you specifically but I do wish people would stop using the word 'administration' when it comes to these fucking loons.
Regime would be closer to the mark. In fact I'd go further and suggest Junta.
I see the US ambassador to occupied Palestine has described the mention of sanctions on the occupied territories as 'Jew hate' .
This is what the rest of the world has to deal with.
And always has.
Bullying. Threats. Bluster.
It used to be covert but now it's mask off and balls to the wall.

You know that's not cancellation because of criticism of Islam.
And you do know he's funded by an entity and people with an agenda which benefits from demonization of muslims.

If you mean when he was in Jail for Contempt of Court, then he "cancelled" himself - all he had to do was not put that film out in public view - hardly onerous conditions.

I also thought it was a interesting podcast. That Shabana says Islam is the most important thing in her life is a problem for me and many others, not because of her personal faith, but because she says that and is in government.

She talked about antisemitism, where is the rise of antisemitism coming from? From blokes called John or is it from fellas called Muhammed? 

She talked about the rise of Islamophobia, what rise? criticism of the ideology of Islam is legitimate, the Home Secretary should not be using that made up word to protect her faith from criticism.

She called the Patriot Platform far right, with zero evidence of her claim, and she's a lawyer apparently? But admitted that PP stayed on the right side of the law.

Campbell asked her what she thought about all those on the far right he says Shabana is the only one who gets it, and she said they would kill her in a moment, unclear if she means the actual far right lunatics who would have her dead or deported, or does she mean anyone who disagrees with mass immigration.

She said maybe in the future they could help minorities in the Middle East to gain asylum like gays and women, I wonder what ideology in the Middle East would these folk be persecuted from? 

She was right about not giving a free pass to foreign workers, to many work visas for low skilled workers has been abused.

She talked about the pro pally groups who abused her and her team during election, if that was the far right those would have been nicked in a heartbeat.

Rory & Alistair where their usual smarmy hypocritical selves, if they were interviewing a openly Christian government minister, who said their faith was the most important thing, they would not have been loving that, they would be condescending and be ridiculing. 

Shabana wants to stop the boats does she? Here she is 11 years ago is Lesbos welcoming in the doctors & engineers to Europe. External Link/Members Only

I don't agree with pretty much anything you said but respect that you appear to have listened to it before disagreeing.   

Just to pick up perhaps the least important thing you say but Rory and Alistair have discussed Christianity with politicians and been supportive - indeed Rory is himself a Christian and practises his faith.

He's and his family have been persecuted since 2009. But he's not the only one, many without high profiles have been sacked or had careers destroyed, for giving legal opinions on Islam.

I couldn't help but notice you forgot two groups who like to claim victimhood.
One is never out of the news.
And the other infests social media.
The whining is incessant from these two groups.

Which two groups?

MEPS should only be ones with British passports and UK nationality. What good is she doing for Holborn. Will deffo see the change walking around that area now.

So you're in Holborn often enough to give a considered view on any changes either positive or negative are you?   Just like you are in Nottingham, Dover, Portsmouth and Gosport. 

Fuck me youre better travelled than Prince William.  Or youre full of shit again, wonder which?
