  1. Another horror story courtesy of the spread Islam in the western world. I just wondered if anyone out there wanted to defend these apparently common and increasing practices? Opinion: Phyllis Chesler: FGM is illegal in the United States. So why is it still happening here? - Fox News https://apple.news/AhpsWLLFUQLqAm5H6QYdlPg Of course, it's only a tiny minority that do this kind of thing.....really? For instance, the vast majority of Egyptian femails are victims of these crimes. am I being "islamaphobic" or racist when I start to think that Islam really is a cancer on the civilised world? Timon.
  2. Force them to convert to Jehova's Witnesses. If not, it's off with their heads!! (Or pay a jizrya tax). Timon.
  3. Jonny... is it me or is that ram slightly bent? If it is it would explain a lot.. Timon.
  4. So what would we suggest that the next President of France do to tackle The spread of crime, poverty and violence in France. Wherever it comes from? I ask this as a serious question because it seems that a lot of the proponents of fundamentalist Islam use "tolerance" and "political correctness" as shields to hide behind and sticks to beat western culture with. Is it possible to make an honest assessment of the core tenets of Islam with its major doctrines (e.g implementation of sharia law and the call to jihad) and make a value judgement based on that? If we can see it for what it is in the plain light of day surely we should be able to "call it out" and show it some "tough love" on account of it being incompatible with western cultural norms in its fundamentalist form. For the record, I don't hate muslims but I do hate the spirit that lurks behind fundamentalist Islam. Timon.
  5. https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/creepingsharia.wordpress.com/2015/10/25/the-mufti-hitler-and-the-palestinians-the-facts/amp/ Good post. It's high time the British Government started asking honest questions of Islam. For instance, get the facts out into the open. What really is at the core of Islamic teaching? These are the questions that need asking, imo. Sadly, no one seems willing to take a look.... perhaps the truth is a bit unpalatable? I'm not saying all Muslim people are bad but the way I see it, Islamic ideology is very dark. It's a bit like introducing poison into your home, how far do you have to dilute it until you are prepared to keep it on the shelf or drink it? Can it ever be a "good" thing? " by their fruit you shall know them" Timon.
  6. I would of thought you'd choose Pilate! Timon.
  7. More of the same then..... Timon.
  8. Things are looking up already! 100./' pay rise [emoji106] Timon.
  9. I read today that it costs £54.1 billion to provide pensions for EU officials. Someone's been having a right laugh (at the taxpayers expense) How on earth does this sort of thing get approved?? My state pension will be worth £70 per week when I finally retire at 68 [emoji107] Timon.
  10. If it's a start up tipper, you may want to look at the old shape LDV. You can still get 54 plate ones that aren't too bad. (If you get 2-3 years out of one and establish your business you're doing well) They carry more weight (legally) than a transit and parts are more often cheaper to buy and run Same Duratorq engine as the tranny on later models. Even transits that are complete bangers seem to fetch stupid money. Also this is the most expensive time of year to buy a 3.5t tipper all the "seasonal" teams are starting up round about now and they are all looking for trucks. Timon.
  11. Our idyllic way of life is under threat! Timon.
  12. Sadly the British Government (read taxpayer) spends a lot of people's hard earned money on funding this sort of thing. [emoji107][emoji107] http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2279972/Anjem-Choudary-Hate-preacher-pocketing-25-000-year-benefits-calls-fanatics-live-state.html Timon.
  13. Birmingham is getting more and more segregated. https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/10190/islam-england-france Timon "He is no fool who gives up what he cannot keep in order to gain what he cannot lose"
  14. Don't discount the petrol ones. We've got a 51 plate Forrester. It's been faultless. We've always tried to go the diesel route but after much disappointment (never quite as cheap as they are meant to be) we thought we'd give a reputable Japanese petrol a try and haven't looked back. Some of the 2.0l petrols do 500k plus. Timon "He is no fool who gives up what he cannot keep in order to gain what he cannot lose"
  15. TIMON

    App crashing?

    Still crashing..., Timon "He is no fool who gives up what he cannot keep in order to gain what he cannot lose"
  16. You mean a bit like Question Time??? 🤡[emoji84][emoji89]👮*♀️👩*[emoji310]👩*[emoji538] Timon "He is no fool who gives up what he cannot keep in order to gain what he cannot lose"
  17. I did my climbing tickets at 48. I'm not what you would call super fit but I do ok and really enjoy it. I say go for it. [emoji106] Timon "He is no fool who gives up what he cannot keep in order to gain what he cannot lose"
  18. That's not his mother it's his wife [emoji57] Timon "He is no fool who gives up what he cannot keep in order to gain what he cannot lose"
  19. Words like that trip so easily off the tongue from the comfort and safety of a British armchair...... Timon "He is no fool who gives up what he cannot keep in order to gain what he cannot lose"
  20. Obama gifted Iran hundreds of billions of dollars and nukes. He looked the other way when it came to Assad, Russia and North Korea. What or who did he hit with his 72 bombs per day and what did he actually achieve? He also threw Israel under the bus at the UN. Even his own people lament the fact that his lack of coherent foreign policy is much to blame for the increased instability in the region. At least Trump is making an effort. Timon "He is no fool who gives up what he cannot keep in order to gain what he cannot lose"
  21. I'm not Trumps biggest fan but at least he's not suffering from the hand wringing moral paralysis of Obama which is one of the reasons why things have gotten so bad. At least he's trying to do something. It might be worth considering that he's not killing people because they won't convert to Christianity. He's at least trying to bring about some much needed order to a very sick and out of control world. Timon "He is no fool who gives up what he cannot keep in order to gain what he cannot lose"
  22. I think you misunderstood what I was saying. Bonhoeffer was a man of peace but came to realise that he had to stand up to the evil of Hitler and the nazis. He wasn't using violence to promote his own religious beliefs. Timon "He is no fool who gives up what he cannot keep in order to gain what he cannot lose"
  23. Strawberry Sunday.... Vauxhall bridge Timon "He is no fool who gives up what he cannot keep in order to gain what he cannot lose"
  24. Maybe it really is too late to turn the tide..... everyone's already drunk the cool aid [emoji33] https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/10208/europe-afghanistan Timon "He is no fool who gives up what he cannot keep in order to gain what he cannot lose"
  25. It's remarkable how few people are outraged by it. Surely we wouldn't name our primary schools after the 7/11 terrorists would we? Or would we... it's getting hard to tell. Timon "He is no fool who gives up what he cannot keep in order to gain what he cannot lose"
