  1. Over the millennia mankind has worshiped many different gods and practiced many different religions. Why do you think you are worshipping the "correct" god and everyone else has got it wrong?
  2. However Muslims can't live in peace with any other religion. They cant even live in peace amongst themselves. imho "Israel" is a complete red herring. Islam was at war with Europe for a thousand years, it was only when Europe developed technology that Europe could stop the Muslim world attacking us.
  3. No, I think Israel is a democratic beacon in the Middle East. How can the Jews build a modern democratic wealthy country (when surrounded by people that constantly attack them) when so many other countries are cess pits (despite billions in aid)? It's almost if Jewish culture is better than say African culture?
  4. Is "spade" not a derogatory term for an African American? I hope you weren't being racist?
  5. Earlier on you were saying there would be "issues" if there millions of migrants in the UK. You now think 8 millions migrants are OK. You're hardly consistent..... I believe there were 10,000 migrants at Calais wanting to get to the UK. There are also millions of people in Libya etc wanting to get to Europe. I would consider that "massing hordes at the borders". So Muslims that have been born and raised in the UK plan to attack the UK and that's OK? Does that not show that they are not integrating? Surely the sensible thing to do would be to stop Muslim immigration? How do you know what the Muslim community think of terrorism? Have you ever seen Muslims protest against the terrorists after an attack? My brother had a job that involved going to a lot of takeaways, after 9/11 he said a lot of them had posters of Osama Bin Laden in the back rooms. Does that sound like they were condemning killing 3,000 yanks? If Muslims condemn terrorism so much how come places like Afghanistan/ Somalia/ Iraq/ Pakistan/ Nigeria etc are such violent places? How come minority groups in places like Egypt are persecuted? Surely the "vast majority" of peaceful Muslims could control the "small proportion" of extremists?
  6. I think Liberals like yourself will just have to live with the fact "political correctness" is an ideology that has had it's day. My entire life I've been told by schoolteachers/ the BBC/ the media that there was absolutely no drawbacks of mass migration from some of the most violent cultures on earth. It seems fairly obvious now that migrants from violent cultures remain violent when they come to Europe.... I think Europeans have had their fill of "cultural enrichment" and will vote for right wing parties...
  7. tbh, I always like when I'm called a "racist" (or any other insult) as it shows that the other person has no other arguments left..... I don't think "immigrants" are to blame for every problem in the UK/ Europe. However they do add to problems ie lack of affordable housing/ reduced wages/ lack of jobs/ building on greenbelt/ increased terrorism/ pressure on public services.
  8. Another saying is "when in a hole stop digging". Let's be honest here, the Paris/ Nice/ Brussels/ London/ Madrid terrorist attacks would never have happened if Europe hadn't previously let third world migrants into Europe. We don't seemed to have learned any lessons over the last ten years. Politicians still seem to be keen on letting more third world migrants into Europe. In fact Mad Merkel sent an invite to the entire third world. If the likes of Trump and Le Pen can stop the madness we should be voting for them.
  9. Some facts: 1. There must have been 500 people killed by terrorists in Europe and America over the last year in a dozen plus attacks. 2. 5,000 Europeans have went to fight for Islamic State. 3. MI5 are watching 3,000 Islamic Extremists in Britain. 4. More British Muslims have joined IS than the British Army. 5. Mainstream politicians seem unwilling to admit that mass migration has made the West a more dangerous place to live. It's not "mass hysteria" to be concerned about the increasing amount of terrorism in the West. If Liberals (like you) aren't going to be honest about terrorism the electorate will vote for politicians that listen to their concerns. But yeah, you make some feeble jokes about Freddie Star if you think it helps you win the argument.
  10. Tbh, I thought it was widely known that East European "Big Issue" sellers claim benefits.... They sell it so they are classified as self employed.... So the country is financially struggling yet we give money to Romanian Big Issue sellers? https://www.theguardian.com/media/greenslade/2014/jun/05/the-big-issue-iain-duncan-smith There are 8 million foreigners living in the UK. So I'm glad we can both agree that mass migration brings "issues".... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreign-born_population_of_the_United_Kingdom Tbh, it's time we stopped mass migration to the UK and started deporting migrants that quite frankly want to kill us.
  11. So you've not noticed the amount of East European "Big Issue" sellers in the UK? Or do you think Big Issue sellers are net contributors to the UK? I honestly don't think it's unreasonable to only allow migrants that are net contributors into the UK. In places like Japan and South Korea politicians would laugh at you if you suggested they should allow mass unskilled migration into their countries, yet British politicians bend over backwards to tell us how millions of migrants are somehow doing us a massive favour by coming here. If you were honest you would admit that millions of migrants do bring "issues". Or are you happy with the greenbelt being built on to house them all? Or are you happy paying extra tax to subsidise all the low skilled migrants? Maybe you're also happy with class sizes going up due to the number of migrants?
  12. Don't get me wrong, I think the welfare state needs heavily pruned. However it pains me that Brits are getting their benefits cut while at the same time migrants can come to the UK and get benefits. I think we've all heard that many guys coming out the forces end up being homeless. I think we can all agree that someone that served for the country should get a council house before some migrant from Somalia/ Ethiopia/ Romania etc. In most parts of the world politicians put the needs of their citizens first. It's really only in the West that politicians look after the needs of migrants. I can't help thinking Trump hasn't proposed to do anything that most world politicians do..
  13. Are you seriously suggesting that there are no victims from mass migration? In the UK we've had ten years of austerity. People are getting their benefits cut and they are not enough council houses to go round. It's understandable that people get angry when they are struggling and see migrants skip the queue for houses and get benefits. It's also understandable that people get angry when they lose their jobs and the next week a migrant is doing their job for less money. Then there are monthly news stories about Brits from a migrant background being arrested for plotting to kill indigenous Brits. It's hardly surprising that people don't like migrants when so many of them have been arrested for plotting to kill people.
  14. It's hardly a surprise that the Liberals are losing the political argument throughout the West. The Liberals can't present coherent arguments, all they can do is insult.
  15. This.
  16. Why don't you Google "racism of low expectations"? The BBC etc would literally cum in their pants if a group of white people attacked a Clinton supporter. However black people attacking a Trump supporter is ignored.
  17. if there are obvious defects could you take photos and send them to the client? let them make up their own mind? tbh, if the trees are obviously defective I think you'd have a duty of care to inform the landowner.
  18. How about the 100m sprint to the chipper race? Obviously wearing steel toe cap boots.
  19. why would burning wood cause dust in a house? when the fire is on it draws air (and dust) up the chimney?
  20. Ahhh, the old "anyone that never voted the way I would is ill educated" argument. Who provided that nugget of information? The same polling companies that said Clinton was bound to win? How about I state some sweeping generalisations? How about "Clinton supporters are generally work shy chancers that milk the American taxpayer". Electorates across the West are getting more right wing as it's becoming increasingly evident that the political Left make a mess of things. It's also evident that the Left haven't been listening to the legitimate concerns of people for decades.
  21. We better all be careful that we don't drown in Libtard tears today. On you go Trump! Build that wall and keep the "Religion of Peace" out!
  22. I'd be interested to hear if the importers of firewood are putting their prices up? Perhaps Brexit (and the resultant exchange rate movements) will save British firewood?
  23. Surely a Google search would suffice? Have you mentioned buried services? Overhead lines? Uneven ground? Tractor overturning? Cuts? Live traffic?
  24. on the bright side it looks like your wood still has a reasonable planting density? your first photograph showed trees at sub 1m spacing? tbh, I like leaving the guards on as I like seeing the tree burst out and break the guard I've seen some of my trees with the moss round them (as your photograph 3), but I don't think it's killed any of my trees.
  25. Why do you want to cut the wood? I break up old pallets for firewood, I find a sledgehammer works well (use goggles because the wood flies).
