None of that true. There was an autopsy. But not in time to prevent the narrative from running riot. The confinement technique used was by the book. It was the overdose in his syetm that killed him, as confirmed by the autopsy. Anyway, who cares, good riddance to bad rubbish.

No the Autopsy confirmed no such thing

AP News? Well there we are then. Case closed. You are right though, I shouldn't have said died of an overdose, technically that's not correct (even though it's obviously true), I should have said he had an overdose present in his system and did not die from the actions of the cop. He was exhibiting signs of overdose well before he was restrained on the ground, which is why he asked to leave the car. Anyway, who cares? However the piece of shit went out, the main thing is he went out. We should be focused on genuine injustices like the state killing of Peter Lynch.

You love how predictable I am? We have something in common then. Why was he a scumbag? In comparison to the rat that was shot, for example? Was a death penalty commensurate with the truth he told about the scum police who are now "officers" for the state instead of peace keepers serving the people? Which bit did he get wrong?

That's what the entirely unreasonable sentence resulted in, isn't it? Over 2 years imprisonment for insulting the police and migrants, which apparently amounts to a serious breach of public order these days, although shoplifting and marching down the road calling for the death of Jews does not. You aren't going to pretend the legal system is impartial, are you? Because if you are then there's no point trying to discuss one of the outcomes of its clear impartiality. You call Lynch a scumbag, that might be true, we can't tell given the entirely biased output of the media which you quote in your mission to deter misinformation. I'm wondering why the same media is so concerned about a dirtbag it thumbnails as a smiling victim, while it substitutes genuine investigation into injustice with mugshots of the"perpetrator" and casual dismissal of the scandalous sentencing. It's not as if we haven't witnessed the whole BLM debacle, remember Arsenal dedicating the stadium to those racketeers who surfed on racial unrest to enrich themselves? Now we see the media bleating again and the same useful idiots bathing in the racism that unapologetically passes for political debate on the left. What's happened to the two "victims" from the airport chaos, are they banged up yet? What about the Labour bloke who wants to slit throats? Or all those Hamas supporting radicals and their overtly racist demands? Locked up? And why are the rape gangs and trafficking gangs afforded anonymity while others are paraded in front of the media for minor offences on Twitter? What about the child molesters? Why do they keep getting suspended sentences, like that sick BBC bloke? Reminds me a bit of reffing in the PL, a light touch for the serious offenders and an iron fist for Arsenal. Obviously the latter isn't on the same level of seriousness, nobody has died of dodgy reffing. Same can't be said of the corrupt legal system that seems determined to allow the serious criminals back into society based on their skin colour or political affiliations. And haven't they just released hundreds more convicted criminals back onto the streets? I bet their victims are chuffed. As you say though, best get this predictable misinformation about the scumbag Lynch out of the way. While we cry for the poor gang-banger who was cut down in the prime of his pristine life. The media can somehow make people believe literally anything.

So I didn’t read most of that, I could be wrong but I don’t think I’d be any more enlightened as a result. But to answer your point, I dont think anything I’ve said suggests I think the justice system is wholly impartial. In fact I’ve made a point of expressing my frustration at the fact that the police don’t come down harder on what anyone who is not completely biased would regard as Pro Palestinian hate marches.

But Lynch was treated no more unfairly than those who took part in the 2011 riots, if you take part in public disorder like that I have no sympathy for you. However additionally your point was to compare him to George Floyd, now if you’re telling me Floyd is a criminal…he is was of course a criminal. If Lynch was asphyxiated on the street like Floyd id equally say that was wrong. And if Floyd ended up in jail and ended up with fatal coronary as a result of his drug taking, I’d be equally unsympathetic as I am to Lynch.

That’s how I work, I think the Muslim who was kicked in the guy by the police officer was a cunt, but my opinion of him was irrelevant….the police shouldn’t be kicking people in the head.

This is what that Tweet says:


This judge threw a 20 month sentence at someone for posting on social media that they didn’t want to see illegal aliens being given free stuff with their tax dollars.

And this is the reality:

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/riots-facebook-posts-jailed-jordan-parlour-b2593990.html


Jordan Parlour, 28, admitted to publishing posts on Facebook last week which encouraged violence at a hotel in Leeds where 200 asylum seekers and refugees.

He was sentenced with 20 months behind bars in Leeds Crown Court this afternoon, after he wrote on Facebook: “Every man and their dog should be smashing f*** out Britannia Hotel.”

The Tweet dishonestly implies the dude was just expressing legitimate concerns and was thrown in to jail for it. My question is are you being dishonest too or do you just blindly believe anything like this which panders to your prejudices? If the latter then there’s a certain irony to this, given that you’re the sort of person who uses the word “sheeple”.

The question you have to ask yourself is does that warrant a prison sentence or indeed should the law be involved at all

The police at the moment are investigating Allison Pearson, idiotic hack that she is. For a tweet which actually she took down before being arrested.

The same police force where a friend of mine, her friend and her children had to seek refuge with her for a week because even though there was video and text evidence of her ex partner threatening her….they were dragging their feet over arresting him, even when he came to the kids school and threatened the teachers if they did not bring the kids out to see him.

I don’t believe we have a two tier justice system, but I can totally understand why people do. People who post idiotic nonsense on social media are low hanging fruit, the police work and resources involved are minimal. Now I don’t believe for a second that what the guy did should be considered a criminal offence, the charge of incitement needs to have a higher bar. And when so much rubbish gets posted by so many people, it becomes completely arbitrary as to whether someone is arrested or not. And at a time where we are at near capacity in the prison estate, it creates the wrong impression as to priorities.

The longer this continues, the more fuel we provide for people who want to dishonestly push their own narrative

It's a good question and as I said there are genuine concerns about the idea someone can be locked up for just saying some stuff online.
But free speech and freedom more generally don't exist in the way NQ defines in the context of living in a society. Like with all things he believes that this is a black and white issue, you're either free or you're not. In reality there are many shades of grey and degrees of freedom. In a society freedom has to be constrained because our words and actions affect other people.

Context is key here. I suspect most of the time the bloke wouldn't have been locked up or even arrested for saying what he said. But in the context of the stabbings, the subsequent lies about them and the unrest that stirred up anyone involved or actively egging people on was endangering lives. I have no issue with that being dealt with.

The problem with setting limits to freedom of speech is who defines where those limits are. The reason this guy was arrested was because of the danger they thought his speech could pose. I posted on Facebook the other day that people who play music on carriages should be shaved, sterilised and destroyed…what if an officious police officer decided that this amounted to inciting violence?.

In an ideal world people would be more responsible with the things they say definitely during a period of unrest but we do not want idiots being turned into martyrs. It makes the false assumption that people wouldn’t attack hotels without people like that posting on social media.

I don't disagree there are potential dangers here, but in general I think any reasonable person would understand that you were joking about that. So if an officious police officer did take an interest then I honestly don't believe it would get very far. This dude wasn't joking, he was actively inciting and encourage violence in the context of actual riots which were taking place and endangering lives.

I agree that's a false assumption, but I also think that people actively encouraging the behaviour adds fuel the fire and makes it worse. I don't have an issue with that being dealt with. Whether it deserves a custodial sentence...well, I agree that's debatable.

[HCZ_Reborn]

I regard myself as a free speech absolutist, but the problem is a lot of people don’t understand what free speech is. That if you don’t want someone prosecuted for what they say you must agree with what they’ve said. Or conversely that even if you criticise what someone has said, or say that what they’ve said is stupid or disgusting you’re attacking their free speech (no you’re just exercising yours).
Also neither a public or private platform has to publish your opinions, and if an employer considers what you’ve posted to do harm to their business reputation they are well within their rights to dismiss you.

What there shouldn’t be (in my view) is any criminal consequences for what is spoken…incitement to violence has to be a direct and unambiguous thing and can often be taken care of by other criminal laws

[Letters]

You realise that asking who sets the limits was a rhetorical question. The point being that no individual has a truly objective and unbiased view of where the limit lies, and things like hate crime laws are often subject to interpretation (as they must be).
A reasonable person might also deduce that the guy who has 20 months inside was merely speaking in the heat of the moment and actually spoke about resentments that a lot of people feel, about how services are cut in these communities yet resources can be found to house people who have never lived here or paid into the system. I think it’s an incredibly simplistic point of view, but I can understand why people feel that way.
People say a lot of things when they are angry, often stupid things….if no tangible crime has been committed, it’s really no different from someone who has had a few too many to drink down the pub mouthing off.

A lot of these messages get found by police when they are trying to find the organisers of the riots, who are a bit too intelligent to publicly announce their intentions.

Firstly it’s not direct and unambiguous. Direct and unambiguous would be “I am calling for all like minded citizens to go to this hotel on this day at this time and carry out x offence”. Secondly, the message was sent after the incident had occurred so there’s no direct causal link between the actual crime and the message.

I think the difference is the internet. We can chat shit to each other on here fairly safely - let's face it, no-one is looking.
But the internet means someone can spout some bile and instead of a few mates in the pub hearing it, it can "go viral", as the kids are saying, and actually impact people. As I said to NQ in another context, it's why Flat Earth has become a thing. Loonies on street corners can now reach millions of people. Add a distrust of the mainstream and authority and...voila!

I don't think the law has really caught up with this, which is why some of this clumsy stuff happens. I'm not sure this bloke really belongs in jail, as you say he was more likely letting of steam. But when people shout stuff like that across the internet then it can have consequences so I think the law needs to reflect that somehow.

[HCZ_Reborn]

See I think this is largely a post hoc fallacy

There’s actually very little to prove that online behaviour influences real life behaviour anymore than anything else. Organised riots and public disorder happened long before the advent of the internet

It’s the same with this panicking about the spread of conspiracy theories. Basically if you are influenced by online conspiracy theories you are most likely to be the kind of person to seek them out. And if not online, in some other format…it feeds an existing demand.

The problem is unless you can prove tangible consequences which in this guys case they absolutely could not, then essentially he’s being sent to prison for saying something unpleasant. And I don’t think the law should get involved when it comes to saying unpleasant things

All true, but what else can you attribute the proliferation of conspiracy theories too other than misinformation spread online?
It's a numbers game. You shout some conspiracy nonsense on a street corner and maybe a few dozen people hear you. Most laugh, maybe one or two people will be interested.
You post stuff online and end up going viral, suddenly millions of people can see what you wrote. Add a bit of scientific illiteracy and a distrust of the mainstream and voila, we suddenly have flat earth conferences springing up.

I don't have a big issue with that, and I think he got caught up in the hysteria whipped up around that incident and a desire by the authorities to crack down hard to de-escalate the situation.
I don't know whether you should have to prove tangible consequences though - speeding is illegal whether you happen to run someone over or not, it's illegal because what you're doing increases the risk of there being consequences.

[HCZ_Reborn]

Speeding is an actual action. It’s not an intangible there is a clear direct risk between going over the speed limit and harming someone. If someone is harmed as a result of a message posted on social media, it would be hard to prove a direct correlation or that someone wouldn’t have behaved violently anyhow.

This is a pretty reasonable point. But if you spew inciteful bile to enough people then while sure, it can't be proven that it was your bile which caused a result, it can't have helped and if your message goes viral and millions of people see it (I don't know if this bloke's did, although it clearly came to the attention of the police somehow) then, again, it's a numbers game.


There have been fads and trends far longer than there have been influencers, things spread by word of mouth
Well, sure. But Joey Deacon was on Blue Peter, he wasn't just known to a few people and that spread by word of mouth.
Never before have ordinary people been able to so easily shout stuff to millions of people.
There has never been so much misinformation and such efficient ways to spread it before.

Again, I don't think the law has quite caught up with that yet. I'm not convinced that this bloke should be in prison, but I'm not exactly shedding a tear for him either.
People aren't just being rounded up and locked up for expressing legitimate opinions. I don't regard saying people should be smashing up or burning down hotels housing families as legitimate.

[HCZ_Reborn]

It’s not about personal sympathy, it’s about principle for me. As I’ve said I believe in pretty much unencumbered free speech and I believe in personal responsibility. I don’t hold with dual enterprise in cases of murder, like in America where if you drove someone to somewhere to commit a murder you are held just as responsible as the person. Now I think you bear some responsibility but not to the same degree as the person who committed the crime

And the old adage of “if x told you to put your hand in a fire, would you do it?” stands out for me. Now if you explicitly tell someone to go and kill someone and additionally pay them money that’s criminal conspiracy. But if you just generally say “people should do this” it’s a throwaway remark. And I simply do not believe that someone would commit an act of violence based on reading such a comment on social media…and if they do…it’s on them.

If you go back to the Dreyfus affair and in fact a lot of French history, there is a particular phenomenon called the madness of crowds. And for me the problem is often the backdrop of circumstances that are happening when the behaviour occurs rather than some irresponsible or false remark. Happy people don’t riot

I think this is all a fairly reasonable stance. But if you're going to express the view that people should smash up a hotel which houses asylum seekers and refugees then I think there's a difference between doing that with a group of mates down the pub and shouting it across the internet. In either case if someone acts on your rambling then I do agree that's on them, but if you've shouted it to a million people it's surely more likely that some idiot is going to think "that's a good idea!" and act on it, because numbers. Whether the shouter deserves to be in prison for it, well that's questionable. I think that dude was a bit unlucky that he shouted it at a time when all the rioting was going on which the government wanted to be seen to crack down on.
I'm certainly mindful that things I write online may be seen by people - I'm a bit less careful on here than on FB, this feels a bit more anonymous and let's face it, no-one is looking.
A lady was sacked at work some time back because of views she'd expressed on FB - I think she took them to the cleaners on the basis that it was her personal account :lol:

I suspect (cynical as it is) though that seeing a neighbouring constituency in Birmingham go from Labour to an Islamist candidate, and seeing a massive swing against him in his own seat (by Islamist candidates who actually might have won if only one of them had run and not split the vote) that he is trying to curry favour with his sectarian constituents.

I guess it depends what you’re desecrating. Spray painting graffiti on a statue of Churchill…yeah that should be illegal. And if you go into a mosque and wipe your bum on their Quran that’s pretty bad as well.
But of course these are covered by vandalism/criminal damage laws
But your own copy of it??, I’m not big on defacing books…but if it’s your own property do what you like

...just a conspiracy

[HCZ_Reborn]

Yes just a conspiracy theory.

Whether one is pro or anti immigration. The idea that it’s some clandestine plot to replace white people is the kind of belief that only appeals to morons and insecure racists

The fact is it’s been the case for 50 or more years that there are certain inner city areas of the country where the majority ethnicity is black-Afro Caribbean or Asian. Not especially coincidentally people originating from areas of the world once controlled by the British Empire. I am sympathetic to concerns over mass migration because of issues with assimilation.
This is a different claim entirely, and more so you ignore the fact that in the background there’s a Union Jack, not a crescent moon and stars, not the Arabic text “Allah is the one true God and Muhammad is his prophet”
So if black and brown children are going to school in this country and learning British values, explain to me rationally why I should give a fuck that there’s more of them than a kid with white skin…as if somehow skin colour is any more relevant than eye or hair colour.

It's not a conspiracy theory at all, it's just labelled that. WEF policy is fairly easy to follow, they publish it and boast about it. To believe there's not some concerted effort to homogenise the population of the west is to deny the synchronicity of the policies implemented by western governments, most of which consist of vessels honed by the WEF or the UN or similar marxist movements. To deny the centralised control you have to replace it with coincidence or sheep mentality. Not saying that's what you have done, but I'd be interested to know why you believe, or how you can possibly believe, all western governments landed on the same policies at the same time. Is that what used to happen in balkanised eras before monstrosities such as the EU came along? There is an analogy, albeit on a limited scale. The Vatican used to have the power to direct national policy, to a degree. And they also fucked over the people in favour of enriching the elites. The they lost their power to the "jews" (code for the banks). You now have the option of being anti-God, anti-semitic or a conspiracy theorist but you never have the legitimate option of being a common sense observer. I suppose you should stop doing unpaid work for the haters, but you will only do that in your own time as your realisation develops, if it develops. You might not want it to. Many don't, they are comfortable in their ignorance. It makes life easier.

I have nothing against those children, having children of my own and knowing how precious they are to their respective parents (at least I hope so). We should never bring kids into the argument. It's not the fault of the kids the adults fucked up the world they live in. All we can hope is the same fuck-ups don't go on to influence those kids, which is sadly hardly ever the case. Some of these kids will grow up to be hateful individuals who steep themselves in the basest forms of human interaction. Again, this is what they will be trained to do, it's not what they would do left to their own devices. We should focus on the hate filled monsters who abuse kids, not just physically (and there and MILLIONS of them and this will become apparent very soon) but also mentally. If I could get a job torturing child abusers to death I'd do it for free. Wouldn't be good at it though, because none of them would ever die.

regarding the fuck-ups of hateful adults who want to destroy instead of build, yes, for sure they have fucked up every society they ever touched. That's what they do. Victor Hansen Davis dropped a term recently that finally works well to label these hateful cunts who assume the cloak of the left, or progressives, or liberals - the marxist binary, and that's what we are up against. Demonic (in the biblical sense) haters and abusers of the human species who accept the souls of the fearful and do everything in their long consolidated power to consume, degrade, destroy abd debase the souls of regular human beings who could never accept their fantastical agenda. Literally these demons tell you, kill as many babies as you can, abuse children, mulilate them, destroy families, disintegrate the glue of society, defund the police, sow racism where there was none, turn women against men.

Let's not equate the children of the world made by demons with the demons themselves. The kids are the actual victims, or the potential victims for sure. They are the ones who will grow up in a world where their families have been destroyed, their cultures have been wiped out, and creeping homosexuals and other deviants will wander among them and tell them touching is normal and swollen, bleeding anuses is their liberation.

Fight the demon, not the victims.

South Korea is an extension state of the US, occupied (literally and then politically) since the US illegal war on behalf of the corporations in that region. Washington and their bosses in Wall Street uses it for cheap(ish) labour and high tech goods. Same as Taiwan, except South Korea (unlike the latter) has taken steps in recent decades to build a genuine nation that might one day stand on its own two feet. Suspect the recent troubles were down to Russia, not the US. Probably blowback for the bullshit in Syria.

Although the queer bloke who is pretending to be married is using this as a prelude to another great deception that he'll actually do something about the scum flooding our beautiful, civilised land. He won't. What he will actually do is exactly what Letters claims is not happening, even though his wishlist boyfriend says otherwise, albeit for political reasons. He'll import more scum while claiming all the time he's cracking down. And the voter types will go, yeah, that's fixed then. And they'll order the next version of the iPhone for £2K, and then claim housing benefit. It's such a joy to be among these bastions of humanity.

The point is that the authorities only knew about it because the Mother reported the boy (the daughter was back home by this time, and the mother had seen Facebook photos and from the uk phoned the authorities in Dubai). The fact that you think that the media would be less sympathetic if he wasn’t black shows how utterly ridiculous an individual you are. The colour of his skin mattered only to one person the spiteful bitch of a Mother.


As I say it probably wasn’t the brightest thing to do given it was Dubai not Marbella, but this isn’t a situation like China, Thailand or Indonesia where things we consider crimes are given much harsher punishment (death penalty for drug smuggling etc). This was two consenting adults having a bit of fun. And yes I’ve heard of two white unmarried couples being punished by the same kind of laws…just for kissing in public.

But as I’m at pains to point out, the authorities were either not paying close attention or they were discreet because if not for the Mother this lad would be home now.

You think? You think the fact that the kid her daughter hooked up with was black was what caused her to report it?
It's possible, but I've not heard that claimed. It's more likely that she considered her daughter to be young, innocent and virginal and assumed the boy had taken advantage of her. Obvious bollocks given we're talking about a 17 year old girl.


This was two consenting adults having a bit of fun.

Well...she's not an adult. But she is over the age of consent in the UK at least. But...they weren't in the UK and you do have to abide by the law of the land you're in.
But it's an obviously bullshit law, kids are famously stupid and the consequence is, to the western eye, massively out of proportion to the "crime".

And clearly the narrative that if this was a white person the coverage would be markedly different in terms of the level of sympathy is such obvious trolling it isn't worth engaging with. Many believe that were Madaline McCann not white with middle class parents that wouldn't have been in the press for anywhere near as long.

This informs the ongoing debate of whether permissiveness goes too far. There is always a bit of difference with these things between when we are talking about male behaviour or female behaviour. I think in regards to a bloke, this is more likely to be something they’ve erroneously claimed to have done. First off because it’s always going to be easier for a woman to find men willing to sleep with her, than it is for a man to find women willing to sleep with him.
Then there’s the biological considerations….which I don’t think I need to get into
But from my point of view, too often people can’t separate between disapproving of behaviour and believing people should be free to pursue such behaviour, although there’s possibly a debate to be had about how much we as a society should facilitate it through online mediums such as only fans….where the financial incentives are there to behave in the most reckless way possible, and if you don’t….someone else will.

I agree it's a pretty much unsolvable problem. But one thing they could do is tighten up the age controls on certain sites.
I was at a conference about Digital Identity and some woman was giving a talk about this sort of thing - not specifically adult sites, other things which require age controls. She said something about how regulations are being proposed to enforce better controls, she didn't say how that would work in practice. There's no perfect solution, but they should be doing more to stop kids accessing this sort of stuff. It can't be a healthy way to learn about this sort of thing, and they're learning about a version of it which doesn't exist in real life.

I’m honestly open to banning smart devices to anyone under the age of 16. Why there isn’t a blanket ban on them in schools already I don’t know. If you need to phone mum and dad in an emergency, just have one of those cheap pay as you go models that doesn’t play or record videos for tik tok.

But adults are equally just as susceptible to the instant gratification aspects of sex. I don’t think putting it all beyond a paywall helps either, watching that documentary some of these guys are paying £500 a pop for five minutes on a live feed with her….basically she didn’t want to announce her monthly average income from this work but I got the impression it was an eye watering amount.

But adults are equally just as susceptible to the instant gratification aspects of sex.
Well, sure. But they are at least adults who are (in theory) capable of making that choice. I bet most of the young men who subscribe to her got into that sort of thing when they were kids.

It doesn't help that standards generally have dropped. You see stuff on billboards and in music videos which would have been post-watershed stuff when I was young. I was telling one of our gap year students how when I was a kid if someone said "fuck" on TV then it made the news. Now it's very liberally sprinkled through a lot of TV dialogue. I'm not saying a buttoned up Victorian prudishness is any better but there's surely a middle ground.

Granted I don’t watch much tv these days but I thought the watershed was still in effect, you can’t say fuck before 9pm etc

I don’t know if it’s so much standards slipping, I’m sure it’s contributory in some senses…even post corporal punishment kids wouldn’t dare say to teachers what some of them seem to get away with now.

But I think it’s more the instant gratification society we have, instant music, tv and film streaming….instant takeaways at the touch of a button. And it’s easier to pay money to watch some stranger see how she can make an empty coke bottle magically disappear then it is to smarten your appearance, get the courage to ask a girl out for a drink rather than hide behind a computer screen or a smart phone on some dating site where you end up finding out what her favourite sex position is before you’ve ever even met.
A lot of women who use dating sites tell me how they get unsolicited dick pics, the feminists argued that it was a way of humiliating women. I don’t think it’s that at all, it’s a generation of guys who barely know how to talk to each other let alone the opposite sex because everything they do has been made easier for them with technology.


That’s my theory anyway

That wasn’t a dig at you meeting Mrs L on a chat site by the way, If I understand correctly it was a Christian chat site so very different vibes altogether I imagine (plus I’ve dated a fair few women I’ve met online). I think the general point is whilst technology is good for convenience, sometimes things being too convenient makes us lose those vital life skills. It’s not a new phenomena, I imagine most men under 45 would never have plucked up the courage to start talking to a girl in a bar or some other setting.

:lol: I never thought it was a dig. Meeting online has become more socially acceptable, it's a symptom of a more online world generally. I know several married couples who met on the same site we did. And yes, being a Christian site it's less of a meat market than I imagine some of the more mainstream ones are. I don't think it matters how you meet, but you do need social skills once you meet in person and kids who spend every evening indoors online may struggle with that. Luckily our generation didn't grow up in that world, I'm not sure how it affects generations who do.

I agree about instant gratification, I get frustrated and impatient now if I can't find things online immediately. I find myself playing games on my phone while watching TV. Attention spans have definitely got shorter.

I hate the word Woke, I think it’s often misattributed to anything that’s remotely charitable. However it does kind of apply in this instance in the sense that you are trying to make people aware of some “injustice”. Feels to me a tad hypocritical as well because if cocoa farmers are victims of economic inequality, the people who are selling this advent calendar for all the agonising and handwringing are still benefiting from that inequality.

I can’t stand being morally lectured to, and I’m not alone in this. I feel generally people do have a sense of fair play but I think they resent being made to feel guilty by “dogooders”. And ultimately I can say, yeah it’s bad the cocoa farmers are getting rinsed….but what do you want me to do about it?. I don’t even fucking eat chocolate :lol:.

Timely tweet from Elon yesterday?

Question is why does Germany (and Europe) need saving? We mustn't discuss. Diversity is our strength.

German Christmas market has been culturally enriched this evening.

We're going to need to dispense with the self imposed language. Get the Muslims out now, by whatever means. Not only are they incompatible with our culture, they aren't cultural at all, they are cultist. Now, of course, there are decent people who technically are Muslims because they were born that way, into a family that did not allow any other outcome. I'm talking about the weirdos who actually believe what Islam teaches. If that's what they believe, I don't wish them ill, but they can't remain here because their very presence is detrimental to the culture and ideology common in the European nations. We fought bloody wars to preserve that culture and ideology and we can't be allowing a silent invasion just because bullets aren't being fired. Nazis goose-stepping their way through Europe is no different to Islamists outbreeding our populations. The threat is just as real and every bit as pernicious. Somebody somewhere must have the guts to actually stand to this enemy. Once again, I am not saying anything bad should be done to these people. But, given their beliefs and the incompatibility of those beliefs, we should provide them the benefit of marching them to the nearest airport and putting them on planes to nations like Pakistan where their beliefs are already primary. Those beliefs must not be allowed to become paramount in civilised parts of the world. Who has the guts to admit the obvious? Anyone? Let them live how they wish, and let us live how we wish. And, by the way, the other side of that deal means our shitty governments should refrain from interfering in their national affairs, that should go without saying but try convincing any of the cunts we keep voting into power. By "we" I mean "you".
