Q1. Was Murray, as you repeatedly assert, arrested for supporting a proscribed terrorist organization or was he detained at immigration for questioning? Q2. Was he charged for supporting a proscribed terrorist organization? Q3. If he was charged for supporting a proscribed terrorist organization was he convinced? Supporting a proscribed terrorist organization is a serious criminal offense, we might reasonably expect such allegations to be factually correct.

I really do recommend Larry Davis’ writing on Maher.

He’s trying to remain relevant in a changed world making assertions of what the ‘Democrats are’ in the basis of actions of young folk who he fails to demonstrate are democrats. And of course dishing on the young, always an easy crowd pleaser for the reactionary right.

And yet his shift suggests that’s precisely what he would have done. He blows with the wind.

And rightwingers recognizing their shared hatred of homosexuality. The very strangest of ‘fellow travelers’.

He’s right about this: The right to bitch about America, protest, voice opinions, criticize the President, fly the flag upside down or burn it if you want. All rights in America, but not rights in some other parts of the world, by example N. Korea ,Russia, and China. The rest of what he had to say is simply playing to the rightwing gallery, which together with earning a buck under a changed political administration is another right he has.

That’s simply Maher denying the perspective others have. Larry Davis called it right on Bill Maher, Maher is now doing his best to prove Davis right.

A bit of false equivalence. “As Members of Congress, we have a legal right to conduct oversight at any DHS facility without prior notice, as we have already done twice this year,” said Menendez in a statement on Friday. “Throughout every step of this visit, ICE attempted to intimidate everyone involved and impede our ability to conduct oversight. This is like nothing I’ve ever seen before, and I am shocked and disturbed that something like this happened in our community.” It doesn’t need spinning, it’s self evidently a threat of attack on the political opposition and obstruct their right of oversight of the DHS.

Why do you care, I didn’t ask you to pay?!

It’s Italian, so perhaps not conforming to ideas you have on the social class of meals.

Penne amatriciana, Caesar salad and a glass of Sagrantino di Montefalco.

Yaxley Lennon has put a lot of effort into making himself known on the back of this scandal. He played no part in uncovering any of the rape gangs or advancing their prosecution. He did however put the trial of child rapist at risk.

We need to remember Trump has form on Tariffs and the outcome of Trump’s tariffs has already been demonstrated. cui bono cui malo: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/may/08/small-farms-trump-tariffs

It’s odd how we don’t heard demands for a full and transparent inquiry into this incident. At the very least it’s a colossal failure of security that deserves explanation.

That swerved my question but at least we know which particular recidivist you get your ideas from.

Which British Hindus and Sikhs are you speaking on behalf of?

Partition happened before the British left. The British left after ceding independence to Pakistan on August 14 1947 and India on August 15 1947 on which day the British Military in India retired to barracks awaiting embarkation. The last British military unit to leave India was the 1st Battalion, Somerset Light Infantry (Prince Albert’s), which embarked at Bombay on 28 February 1948. Now unless you’ve got some kind of a time warp going on, Pakistan was already a sovereign state before the British handed India its independence. I’m not at all sure what your reference to the Irish is.

Ah, back to ad hominem.

Desperate stuff Nick. Back to what you said. “Partition happened after Indian Independence from Scotland and England ” Just admit you were wrong, it won’t hurt.

The history of the rise and fall of the British empire in India is fascinating, I recommend you look into it, you’ve obviously got some gaps in your knowledge to fill.

Yet more misrepresentation of history.

No it did not. The Radcliffe Line was established in June 1947, Pakistani was established as an independent nation on August 14 1947 and India attained independence from Britain on August 15 1947.

Who could forget the UK/Australia deal, it was much in Australia’s favor that Australian news readers where laughing as they described it to their audiences. Johnson’s eagerness to announce the deal before it was agreed left him at Australia’s mercy. He either signed or admitted his lies. Given the choice between doing what’s right for Johnson by admitting his error, or signing a deal that was not in the UK’s best interests, his ego got the better of him.

Here’s a thing. Only a couple of weeks back Trump announced he had downgraded the U.K. to ‘Second-Order Priority’ for a trade deal with his focus on a deal with S. Korea. So what happened to the S. Korea deal? It seems to have been another of Trump’s mirages. What we are left with is yet more evidence of the desperation of Trump to get any kind of a deal to put before his supporters, both foreign and domestic. Well done PM Starmer for playing Trump’s desperation to the benefit of the UK. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2025/apr/29/trump-makes-trade-deal-with-uk-second-order-priority-in-blow-to-ministers

Right now you could say much the same thing about the United States. Maybe there’s some synergy going on behind the scenes.
