Please explain, I am not familiar with the guys above.

I think Tinfoil hats will be needed as this thread progresses.

Laurence Fox: small-time actor turned political activist.
Mukhtar Ali Yasim: small-time actor turned political activist.

Got into a fight on Xitter, during which Mukhtar called Fox some not-nice-names. Fox started a libel action. Fox, for reasons, decided to stop the libel action and tried to negotiate an end to it with Mukhtar. Mukhtar declined to let it drop quietly and insisted on it being formally dismissed with Lozza Fox paying him £1,000s in legal costs.

N.B. Fox is going around telling anyone who will listen that he has decided to ‘discontinue’ his libel action but that description is not entirely congruent with reality. He may have wanted to merely discontinue and walk away, but the only way he could make it stop was to agree to Mukhtar’s demand for formal dismissal. Which, in legal terms, is tantamount to Lozza accepting he lost the case. Diddums.

Maybe your inference - but I cannot hate people. All I'm doing is to warn you of the looming problem that the critical mass of of an incompatible culture will bring.

The Cenotaph memorialises those killed, hence the inscription ‘THE GLORIOUS DEAD’. The planned memorial is for all who fought. According to the World War Muslim Memorial Trust, onwards of 600,000 Muslims fought in the Indian Army alone. In addition, more than 300,000 North African Muslims fought for the Free French

Tend to agree. Kind of weird thing to obsess over when there are far more important ones to worry about.

Just the religions that they choose to follow

I can see you now lying in bed drunkenly beating your pillow whilst looking longingly at the framed photo of your beloved Tory politician screaming ‘Why? Why have you forsaken me ?’

You could have just edited your original post to this response and it would have kept the same meaning.

Whilst I don't buy into Seph's conspiracy theory, I do think it was a bit strange to have this as a budget item, especially at the start. I ascribe this to the government drowning, not waving.

At least you've met me half way, Andrew.

I would agree with you, but I see it as trying to appeal to a segment of voters they’ve alienated*, not "appeasement".

*I know - which segment of voters haven’t they alienated…

Yup. I took it as the Conservative Party trying to disassociate itself from Lee Anderson's Islamophobic comments.

So, I looked up Lee Anderson.

His comments were, apparently ;

Quote:

I don’t actually believe that the Islamists have got control of our country, but what I do believe is they’ve got control of Khan and they’ve got control of London, and they’ve got control of Starmer as well.
Quote:

People are just turning up in their thousands, and doing anything they want, and they are laughing at our police. This stems with Khan, he’s actually given our capital city away to his mates.
Please explain to me how these are "Islamophobic" :confused:
