Another Incident On London Bridge

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

My point just demonstrates that his general point is far too simplistic.

 

We should act in the Middle East when it is appropriate to do so.

 

I don't think we would benefit if the world's major powers just stood idly by while countries annex bits of their neighbours, or murder thousands of their own citizens.

Chortle.

Oi, Katie Hopkins - If You Hate Britain So Much, Let’s Swap Passports

http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/skylar-bakerjordan/katie-hopkins_b_16950620.html

 

Dear Katie Hopkins,

How are you, love? I imagine it must be a difficult day for you considering there are no terrorist attacks for you to exploit in order to push your agenda. I understand. I get cranky on Wednesdays when EastEnders isn’t on for me to tweet about. Life is tough when our favourite self-promotional tools aren’t available.

Still, you’ve managed to milk the London Bridge attack for all its worth. I saw you on Fox News talking a load of rubbish about British Muslims. You went and slagged off London Mayor Sadiq Khan (or Sadiq “Kahnt,” as you so proudly and smugly called him) saying “London Bridge fell down on his watch” - apparently missing the fact that the bridge is, in fact, still standing and that the woman you kind of praised - Prime Minister Theresa May - was also standing watch when the attack occurred. But facts have never mattered much to you. Just ask Jack Monroe.

Anyway, I digress. You also said you wanted to round up 3,000 people on the watch list and to deport some British Muslims. Then you called for internment camps. Never mind the fact that none of these people have been convicted of a crime and that conviction without trial hasn’t been in vogue since 1215. But that won’t stop you, Katie Hopkins, from calling for a solution - a final one, even - to Britain’s pesky Muslim problem.

I suppose it’s harder for you to say this stuff in Britain now that LBC has sacked you and nobody of any importance reads the Daily Mail. So, I have an offer to make you. You seem to hate Britain, a country I desperately love. I don’t really like Trump’s America, which you seem more infatuated with than David Walliams is with Simon Cowell. Of course, I think the David/Simon flirtation is all for show. I used to think that about your gobby shenanigans, but as time and your career prospects slip away, I’m not so sure.

So - here’s the deal: let’s swap passports.

Before you say no, hear me out. You would fit in perfectly in Trump’s America. You even promised to move here if he was elected, so you and I both know this is what you want.

Just think - here, with America’s First Amendment, you could say what you want without fear of a pesky libel lawsuit (that is, until Trump changes those laws to better enable him to sue his critics). Fox News is clearly keen on you, and since Bill O’Reilly has been sacked I think you’ll fit perfectly there amongst the bigots and peddlers of fake news. (I mean, after your hair grows back, of course. Fox News doesn’t hire any woman who doesn’t have at least twelve inches of blonde trusses and a penchant for white supremacy. I’m confident you can tick both those boxes though.)

By leaving Britain, you can avoid the no-go places, which considering how reviled you’ve become I imagine is most of the country. You could live in a country that has actually had internment camps and rounded up Muslims in a detention centre - one that isn’t even on American soil! “Katie Hopkins reports live from Guantanamo” would break Fox News records. You could even waterboard a Muslim kid, probably. Alabama would eat that shit up.

From there, you can team up with Milo for a “Dangerous Fag and his Horrible Hag” tour, going around to American colleges and reminding the whinging snowflakes that no, they can’t have a reasonable expectation of not hearing racial slurs in public discourse. Who do they think they are, anyway? White people?

In exchange for granting you American residency, I will be allowed to move to Britain. Now I know what you’re thinking - the last thing the UK needs is another wussy metropolitan liberal who won’t stand up to the Muslim scourge. But because you and your family are safely ensconced in Trumpland, it’s really of no concern to you.

In the meantime, I will get to work writing about British politics, which is my passion, whilst living in my beloved Walthamstow and volunteering with youth to improve their lot in life. See, I believe that gangs and terrorists are often born the same way - through marginalisation and a lack of prospects and hope. You call me naïve; I call me optimistic. I’ll hang out with my Muslim friends (and other friends, too!) at night and live-tweet X Factor and grab a kebab after a night down the pub.

I’ll live in a country that embraces multiculturalism and realises that the sins of a few don’t indict the many, that we only ever seem to paint with such a broad brush when it comes to Black and brown people, and that no one ever asked you why you didn’t do anything to prevent Jo Cox’s murder. Or the bombing at the Admiral Duncan. Or Dunblane. If they did, you would probably say it has nothing to do with you, anyway.

Funny how that works, innit?

Anyway, I’ll become a productive member of a society that values inclusion, solidarity, and just getting on with it. One that wasn’t cowed by the IRA, by Oswald Mosley, or by the Luftwaffe. One that doesn’t react with histrionics, paranoia, and vitriol every time tragedy strikes. One that understands that yes, something must be done to stop this, but encroaching upon its most cherished values - democracy, habeas corpus, due process, liberty - isn’t it. I’ll learn to love tea, even, if I must.

And you can live in a country politically dominated by a minority of white voters who hate immigrants, Muslims, science, and secularism. You can live in a country that allows you to spout your venom without fear of repercussion and that will, in fact, pay you handsomely to do it. You can live in a country where actual Nazi-sympathisers work in the White House. You’ll love it.

So you put in a word with the Home Office and I’ll put in a word with the State Department. We’ll get the paperwork sorted, and we’ll make the swap. I propose we meet somewhere neutral, like Antarctica. It’s a completely white landscape, so I know you’ll enjoy the visit. I’ll board a ship to London, you can jump on a boat to New York, and we’ll go our separate ways.

America will love you. Britain will thank you.

 

Have a think. You’ll find it’s the best for both of us.

Regards,

Skylar Baker-Jordan

One of the perps was an Arsenal fan called "Abz". Make of that what you will.

When did Wenger sign his contract? And why didn't Troopz tell the authorities about the radicals in their midsts? Someone knew something.

[Baltar]

You what?

 

The first Gulf War occurred because Iraq invaded and annexed Kuwait and refused to withdraw. Rather than being "inflicted by the West", Iraq was pushed out of Kuwait by a United Nations-backed coalition of more than thirty countries from every populated continent on the planet.

Right. So it had nothing to do with the resources in the region? If Kuwait and Iraq had no oil, would anybody care that somebody annexed another country? The same heroic nations that liberated Kuwait were the same rogue nations that defied the UN to invade Iraq for the 2nd time for no bloody reason whatsoever which to me, makes the so-called noble intentions of the first war Gulf war rather meaningless. And where was the UN when Russia invaded Ukraine and annexed Crimea? There have been wars and invasions going on that barely gets a mention or noticed by the UN because those countries are irrelevant in the eyes of the major power brokers.

I've no doubt that maintaining access to a strategic resource played its part in persuading some countries to act. That doesn't mean it was the wrong thing to do.

 

Obviously getting the UN to act against Russia on Crimea would be somewhat more difficult, since Russia, as a major power, has a seat on the UN Security Council, and can veto any action against itself.

 

Nevertheless, the UN General Assembly overwhelmingly passed Resolution 68/262 against Russia's action in Crimea, with only a handful of rogue states (North Korea, Venezuela, Cuba, Syria, Belarus etc) taking Russia's side.

Rogue State by William Blum is an excellent book.

One of the attackers named. Featured in a documentary called "the Jihadi next door"

 

Hardly discreet. Massive intelligence failings, by the looks of it. The buck stops at the top....

 

Also, interviewing one of his friends who was saying they'd often go and protest outside embassies due to foreign policy in the Middle East.....

That's almost as bad as the 9/11 pilot taking flying lessons but telling the instructor he didn't need to know how to land.

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

Great little interview there on Channel 4 News with a Romanian baker who tried to fight the attackers off with a plastic bread/baking crate.

 

Close the borders though.

 

Enough of these foreigners coming over here and trying to fight off our British terrorists.

Well done that man. 

 

I'm being purely speculative here - but I wonder how many of those horrible maggots from the EDL who marched in Liverpool this weekend, would of done the same. None, if am a betting man.

Not at all. They are all quite rightly asking the question of him being on the MI5 list and known to the police, let alone the TV programme he was fucking on, which refects very badly on them.

 

It's pretty fucking embarrasing for them regardless of any cuts/funding etc.

[razor]

Anyone else seen the stories about one of the attackers calling himself "Abz" and wearing an Arsenal shirt?

 

When I read his name, I immediately thought of our erstwhile Gooner poster.  Then when I heard he was wearing an Arsenal shirt, I thought, "Dave Usher's in for a grilling when they dig through this lad's internet use."

 

Dave, remember to "delete history" before they march off with your hardware, mate.  The media can be so cruel...

Great response from Corbyn :

How low is the bar set that anyone saying stuff as obvious as this gets lauded? Fucking Tories, man, they drag everyone back into primary school dynamics.

Well it's not as if there's that many people in his position having a go at the Saudis in the west. He also called May out on the report that she might be suppressing. I don't see how that's primary school dynamics. I thought and still think it was a great response at a time when May could've taken a big advantage by coming across all strong and stable and whatever other shit after the attack.

I think it's just very odd to see a politician in his position telling the truth & making sense.

The terrorist funding report only happened because the Lib Dems made it a condition for supporting UK action against Syria.

Erm, wouldn't NOT spreading it be a better strategy if you want to fight this shit? I mean, I agree, that channel is completely embarrassing and only utter gullible right-wing simpletons would try and spread their content.
