General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both [email protected] and [email protected] .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
[email protected] appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(
Only 6% of population is muslim.
This is just feeding a dangerously crazy rightwing meme. Stupid irresponsible woman.
At least we now have evidence that it aint that white people are evil piece shit but rather anyone who has money and power.
Can we now focus on fighting this class war?
Good to hear the class war is back on, that whole race war business wasn't working for me.
Unless France gets there first. /s
Also, isn't Pakistan and Islamist country ?
Yep.
Who would have thought that one of the most racist and cruel conservatives would be wrong and lying?
Islamist is just an incendiary term to excite racists
Islamic yes, Islamist I don't think so. That usually refers to a much more fundamentalist ideology. That said, Pakistan did test its first nukes under the dictatorship in the 80s, and while I don't know much about that period it does at a surface level look like it could probably be described as an Islamist period for Pakistan. So maybe there was an Islamist nuclear power and isn't anymore?
Whoops, you are right, i don't know much about pakistanis separation of politics and religion today ... I went with the word used in the title of the post without considering it's exact meaning(s), which are now :
https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/Islamist
Islamist (plural Islamists)
1- (now rare) A Muslim. [from 19th c.]
2- A scholastic Muslim who specializes in Muslim academics. [from 1910s]
3- A Muslim who espouses Islamic fundamentalist beliefs. [from 1980s]
interestingly, it should be easy to say that USA has now become a ~~Christianistic~~ Christianist country.
Oh, interesting, I didn't know about the earlier usages!
She's in fucking cuckoo land. Dumb fascist arsehole.
Probably won't though, eh?
It is either that, or giant ant women from the planet arseholia.
Pakistan ceased to exist?
Iraq had them too according to her fellow lying western politicians.
Who the fuck is this woman?
An idiot from the most far-right faction of the Tory party.
It's weird because she was so sensible and well-balanced when in government. Perhaps she has been replaced by pod people. We should try and rescue her - I have a few days free in April.
I'm sure they'll give her back before then.
“Regardless of whether one thinks that is a realistic outcome, which I do not, should we not have the courage to ask these questions?”
JAQing off is a form of bad-faith propaganda.
Inshallah, sister Suella!
Ohh, it's the Huffington Post. I was very confused for a minute there.
How exactly is this supposedly going to happen? Given how massively under represented Muslims are in parliament, how exactly are they going to gain control.
