You've missed the bigger picture again Davey . Take those blinkers off Dobin!

 

Islamic extremism is but one of the evils cultivated and propagated by toxic online tripe. I don't descriminate between that and suicide encouragement stuff, misogyny, paedo stuff, far right crap, antisemitism, eating disorders, extreme animal cruelty, childhood bullying, Conspiracy Theories - the list is long and varied.

 

You're right about the Southport case though 👍, I very much doubt that would've happened without his easy access to all that content swilling around online, 30 years ago for instance. (Though Islamic extremism was just a small part of the ****************ed up shit that he subscribed to.) Same with that guy in Sweden a couple months back, (how did you miss reporting on him on here btw? He had a thing about Syrians I think.) Or that guy in Luton recently, that could have been so much worse. He was just radicalised into thinking he wanted to be famous for killing lots of innocent little school children, nothing to do with religion. You need to broaden your outlook. Or modify you agenda.

 

Sure Starmer can't sort it, but he could at least do something to improve the situation. Banning smart phones in schools would be an easy starter, very low hanging fruit. Minimum age for social media maybe? Sure, some kids will circumvent controls, but not the majority, it's got to be worth a try. Put some pressure on the tech bros to remove some of the worst content maybe? I mean, why does anyone need to see beheadings? Australia is being positively proactive in tackling this issue. As I think are France and Denmark. They're civilised countries like that.

 

As an aside. Islam has been in existence for millennia, but a lot of the kind of sick actions carried out in it's name haven't occured until recently. Probably a similar timescale to the advent of the internet/social media/mobile devices. Is that correlation or causation do you think? I'll give you a clue, it begins with a C!

 

 

 

 

Well said.

The old you missed the picture or you missed the point line 🤷‍♂️ one of your favourites 42, oh to be as wise and enlightened as you eh 😂😂

There was a hell of a lot of nearly maybe could was gonna have in there. 
I don’t have an agenda 42 unfortunately for you I deal with facts and in this case the facts speak for themselves, as I said to Mark feel free to put up a list of right wing terror attacks in the UK and I’ll counter with those commuted in the name of radical Islam. 
Your last chapter was just laughable nonsense. Anyway post up the UK right wing terror attacks and I’ll pop up a reply, entirely factual of course.

There are clearly more devout Muslims than there are devout neo-nazis: Your ratio of 3:1 of the ones who went on kill, or try to kill people, doesn't take that sample size into account

What else do you want as evidence ffs

Yup, but after the war we taxed the super-rich heavily, which is why your Mam and Dad could afford a house on a normal salary. 

There is a limited supply of building land and increasing demand. There are approx another 15 million people around now, since my parents bought their first home in 70s, when the UK population was about 55 million.

Mostly immigration has increased the numbers, as UK birth rate has been below 2 for years, currently about 1.6

So this Wealth Tax to solve housing crisis - it makes no sense to me.

Imagine how much land has had to be built on to make homes for those extra 15 million people compared to the seventies - there's the reason the house price/eatnings multiple has doubled.

We need to learn to live without so many foreign workers. Farm hands used to be from here - too generous benefits and they wont get their hands dirty.

There is plenty wrong with Trump's other policies, but in my view his immigration control is sensible.

BS.

 

Have some dignity mate; at least try to put up a reasoned, coherent argument in support of your rather odd opinions. Don't just resort to the rancorous, tired old tropes and petty insults. You appear to have even less self-awareness than Liz Truss. This is a far wider discussion than your normal L vs. R, or Christianity vs. Islam ranting. If you'd have read the original article, that you pounced on like a rabid dog again, you'd have seen that it was nothing to do with terror attacks, (of any motivation). It was about a new TV series highlighting the dangers of online misogyny. Go back, and read the words this time.

 

As the parent of a young child I do have concerns over his future health, happiness and safety. I see no shame in saying that. There is a sickness in the world, (quite a few  actually); the future is nowhere near as rosy as it was when I was his age. Islam or any of the other religions barely figure as a concern for me. They are all as shitty as each other if you open your eyes, I don't discriminate.

 

Maybe you'd have some compassion if you had any children yourself.

err fact check time.... Look back at all your fresh starts in the post (ie where you are not throwing out the abuse but pasting a link from reliability news source, Linkedin). Why is it that NONE of your making the news reports EVER feature white criminals, despite them committing the same crimes as the mostly Asian men you report on.

 

 

Fortunately there are members on here who have the ability to use google, do a quick fact check and prevent this forum becoming a cess pit of racist hate that your posts repeatedly are trying to drag it down into.

Biologically he does.

Adolescence is an amazing piece of TV and we'll worth a watch if you have kids, or don't. We watched it with our teenage boys and my eldest thought it was one of the best things he'd seen, in terms of how it was made, the acting and the subject matter which is a mystery to many of us and chilling. If you have teens it's worth watching with them for the conversations if nothing else. 

For any that haven't seen about it, it's worth knowing that each of the 4 episodes was filmed in a single shot. The videos on how it was done are pretty good too.

So what is it you do for a living SP 

Like I say you have a lot to say about a lot you know bugger all about. Let’s have some perspective on your look at things,  employed or self employed as what 🤷‍♂️Christ man how hard is that one

Facts 42 put up the facts of this far right terror attacks   vs Islamic terror attacks 

You can’t so you resort to an angry BS left wing ism and ist style rant. There’s absolutely nothing you can tell me about parenting 42, I’ve lost a child and had one survive cancer so keep your post on topic and answer the question with facts.

Show me once where I mentioned the series you referred to ??? I won’t because I haven’t seen it so won’t comment. 
Read my post too 42 the overhyped far right online misogyny BS is imo nothing in comparison to the radical Islam that has gone way past online and made it into our streets if you hadn’t noticed. Seems the intelligence services agree too. No argument required when you post facts. If you genuinely think this country is on a good path then more fool you.
