Welcome To Brtiain 2016

I wonder what will be in the News (or probably banned) in 2026?

It is an absolute disgrace, these are not our values they should be told to find a country better suited to their ideals or integrate.

And if they refuse to do either then Jail if they are UK born, or forced repatriation if not.

am wondering how many more old stories are going to surface between now and June the whatever?

1996 2006 2016 Andre 3000 it doesn't change the fact is that it is oppression.

Always amazes me that the posters who will put up a good fight for women's rights ignore the rights of Muslim women to be freed from the manacles of Islam.

Why aren't the feminists jumping up and down all over this one? Or is it because the ethnicity of those involved doesn't fit their agenda?

Like Sir Winston Churchill and Enoch Powell it proves the vision and forsight of the Telegraph if it was prophesised a decade ago

If Muslims ceased to be the threat you believe them to be - would you have anything else to get excited about?

Me too.

"If Muslims ceased to be the threat you believe them to be - would you have anything else to get excited about?"

Indeed, wet, wooly-headed liberal thinkers believing that the threat had passed and inviting the fox back into the henhouse for another go.

douglas - // ... and inviting the fox back into the henhouse for another go. //

Would your metaphor refer to the mistaken notion that foxes kill 'for fun'?

This is an urban myth - foxes will take prey at any opportunity. If they find a henhouse full or chickens, they will kill all of them, put one ready to carry home now, and bury the rest for future use. Henhouses full of dead chickens and no fox indicates that the fox was disturbed before he could complete his ritual. The notion that an animal has a sense of sadism / malice is nonsense.

That's from a thinker - but not a 'wet wooly-headed liberal' one - just want to make sure that if you are being rude to people who simply think differently than you, that you are using correct metaphors to do it.

ok so it's how far they can walk in 3 days, so what about if they where driving? oops!

[jourdain2]

Old post or not, the website and any like it should be taken down and not allowed to promulgate such ideas.

^^^^ Re. and earlier post of Mrs. O's - I remember the general jubilation when banks and shops in Manningham (Bradford) closed on a religious holiday - because they did no business. Phrases such as 'our area' abounded.

[douglas9401]

Utterly gasp inducing pomposity and self satisfied smugness. 10/10.

[andy-hughes]

douglas - that's no way to talk about jourdain!

[whiskeryron]

I'm afraid it's all too late now the rot has set in I am so sad to see what my beloved England has become, how on earth was it allowed to get like this ?
So glad I am on the way out but I worry for my descendants.

They would certainly kill, whether that was for fun or not the chickens would still be dead.

[jourdain2]

I think I may cry in a minute - I turn to andy-hughes for comfort! :)

Talbot - //They would certainly kill, whether that was for fun or not the chickens would still be dead. //

A fair point, but the notion that foxes are 'cruel' is just nonsense.

Tune in next week when we talk about why a duck's quack doesn't echo!!!

[-Talbot-]

And who on the thread came up with that notion?

[andy-hughes]

Talbot - //And who on the thread came up with that notion? //

Is that addressed to me?

The reason why I C & P the post I am responding to, is because it avoids confusion like this.

I don't know if you are replying to my post, or something further up - clarification welcome, thank you.

[naomi24]

^Just a name and the bit of their post you're responding to would work.
