The main problem with Islamic extremism is the bonkers policies that populist governments come up with to deal with it - that could lead to civil unrest.

So the main problem with Islamic terrorism is that we might elect Governments that actually deal with it? Maybe we should try some more candle light vigils after the next terrorist attack? Maybe try some more tea lights though? 

 

There you go folks, that's what's wrong with the country right there.

I agree that immigration was the main reason we voted for Brexit, I do get it.

I don't read the guardian, my opinions are my own.

I think that ignorant people filled with hate could hurt my children, too.  I'm more worried about the scum we already have, and the scum we are indoctrinating by blaming all our woes on people who look or speak different.

 

If you're worried about the scum we already have then you understand why we don't want to import more. 

 

You call British people who are rightly concerned about mass immigration, 'scum' - 

 

Another reason people voted Brexit. 

 

Sick of being lectured to by the establishment elites, the Guardian reading chattering classes and do gooder leftist imbeciles who want everyone to be generous on their behalf. 

 

It's over. You lost. 

 

if you want to help refugees/migrants take them in to your own house. I bet you don't. But you sure as hell want the rest of us to.

If by "actually dealing with it" you mean withdrawing from treaties, or starting unwinnable wars, or creating space for ISIS, or encouraging sectarian violence, or ignoring problems that could actually kill us all, then yes - that is the main problem.

I'm not one for vigils, but at least an impotent show of solidarity doesn't make the situation worse.

You're impotent - ideologically, mentally and intellectually.

1. I do understand, I just don't agree.

2. I did not say that, and don't think that.

3. As previously said, I don't read the Guardian.  I'm not a do-gooder or an imbecile.  I am probably what you might consider a "leftist"; I have no swastika tattoos - does that qualify me?

4. You are referring to Brexit? It's not over. We all lost.

5. I don't want you to let anyone into your house that you don't want to.  You have no idea who I chose to let into mine.

Creating space for ISIS is accepting them as a force, well done you.

You're ranting- totally, uncontrollably and self defeatingly.
