What should be done about it? 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Maybe we should stop talking about corrupt politicians behaving corruptly. Or at least not raise it on the appropriate threads.

I've just seen a clip of Sydney Sweeney reading this and I had to look it up to check it's real, because it's just so fucking warped.

I just think it leaves you with two options:

1.  It never happened; or

2. God is such a cunt he would attack children with bears, just for laughing at a slaphead.

Struggling to see what’s wrong with option 2.

Sorry, but as somebody who has lost a lot of hair I’m totally on board with God here.

I’ve still got a full head of hair, but as the classic quote goes, “first they came for the baldies, but I did nothing as I had lots of hair, then they came for the gays but I did nothing as I wasn’t gay, next they came for middle aged blokes who can’t hold their beer any more - Oi God! Where’s the fucking bears?!”

Ain't no bears in Bethel no more. If it happened today, God would have to set sheep on them or something.

Nice to see a bit of pushback against this nonsense for once

King's Cross: Network Rail removes Ramadan message after complaints

 

A sign at London King's Cross station that displayed an Islamic message for Ramadan has been removed, Network Rail said.
 

Passengers posted photos of the message on social media, along with a mix of complaints and praise for the passage.
 

Network Rail said the message should not have been displayed on the main train departure board.
 

It said it was investigating why "general Ramadan celebratory messages weren't used".
 

A Network Rail spokesperson told BBC London: "We celebrate all the big religious festivals from Christmas to Ramadan at King's Cross to reflect our diverse passenger and employee base."
 

However, the spokesperson said: "Our main departure board should be reserved for train information and our general Ramadan celebratory messages weren't used for some reason, which we're looking into.

"All has now been corrected."

Some took to X and complained about the passage, known as a Hadith, being displayed.

Humanists UK posted a statement on the social media platform to say it felt public train stations "should not be urging 'sinners' to repent".

The campaign group said: "It is obviously inappropriate and profoundly misjudged to broadcast hadiths or any religious scripture at passengers. We will be writing to the transport secretary to outline our concerns."

Not nice to see the cunts who were pushing back, though.

Scripture being pushed on people minding their own business.

 

It helps if you read the article, like.

Yep

It's definitely just 'humanists' who were fuming about that.

Nobody noticed them.  All the real noise came from racists.

[Strontium]

So, a perfectly sane and reasonable position is disdained because you may not like some of the (uncited, unspecified) people who agreed with it. Peak petty tribalism reaches a fresh zenith. Outstanding work, truly outstanding.

 

Just a heads up for the future though, calling people racist because they don't want to be proselytised to on their morning commute may not be the most productive way of winning anyone around.

[Anubis]

Possibly my favourite part of that.

 

"Passengers on Platform 9 awaiting the 11.30 from Euston, please repent your sins now."

That will be displayed over Easter, when it's turn for Christian religious propaganda.

And of course if it happens and people complain, it will be the same people who complained about the Ramadan display …… 

[SasaS]

Logic of culture warfare demands that it is never what has happened that is important, but always who is for it or who is against it.

[Bjornebye]

Or just hypocrites being hypocritical.
