He was not being pushed at all just guided.

Two of my wifes sisters always hug me ,but i have known them over 20 years ,never hugged my mother in law ,but when i first met here all those years ago ,she was with some friends all her age about 60odd ,one said something and they all laughed,later i asked my then to be wife what was said ,she replied that the old lady had said"wouldnt mind his shoes under my bed" so they can be a bit "naughty"

I see in the Papers today that a Jewish guy who was over in London for a wedding was attacked by two black guys shouting anti Jewish <deleted> and that a mass of Jewish  graves in France were painted with swastikas.

for the life of me i cannot understand anti Jewish feeling ,they cause no bother  and demand nothing in the UK . 

Public sector strikes in France ,wow now theres a novelty .????

my daughter had a friend many years ago when she was in her early 20s i remember that she had a Muslim boyfriend and got pregnant by him ,he said he could not marry her unless she became a Muslim and brought their child up as a muslim ,why? i could not understand why you have to convert ,she refused ,told him he should become a Catholic , they broke up ,a few years later she married a nice guy ,  I know in The Jewish faith ,you can take your mothers religion ,n matter what,and of course Christians can marry anyone ,it seems to me its a way they get more and more to their faith ,which as i have said before is very controling .

Crazy system that it is! Eligibility for winter fuel payments includes receiving state pension and residency in the UK during the week of 16 September. I receive state pension but I left the UK on 11 September after spending four months there, last week the winter fuel payment showed up in my account, along with a ten Pound Xmas bonus or something. I tried giving it back because I'm here for the winter but they tell me there's no mechanism to do that, once it's been sent it can't be returned. No wonder the country is short of readies!

When we left ,we were getting child allowance ,we stopped it ,twice they paid us ,and twice we returned the cheque again ,got a letter asking why we were returning it , God knows how they would catch you claiming uprises over here ,if even when you write and tell them to stop paying money they still pay it.

Always remember there is no such thing as a "free" lunch.

 

What is in the Labour manifesto?
£75bn to build 150,000 new council and social homes a year, within five years
An immediate 5% pay rise for public sector workers, with year-on-year above-inflation pay rises to follow
Introducing a "real living wage" of at least £10 an hour
Reviewing the retirement age for people in hard manual jobs
Introducing a second homes tax
Reversing inheritance tax cuts and imposing VAT on private school fees
Giving EU nationals living in UK the automatic right to stay
Reinstating 3,000 bus routes that have been cut
Free broadband for all, delivered by part-nationalising BT
A £3bn plan to offer adults in England free access to retraining
A pledge to reduce all primary school classes to fewer than 30 children
Free personal at-home care in England for over-65s most in need of it
A pledge to renew the Trident nuclear deterrent and spend at least 2% of GDP on defence
Reducing the voting age to 16
 

and everyone will have their own flying pig to get to work on ,except muslims ,they will have a unicorn .

We have had very different experiences with Muslim communities

It is worth remembering that the Labour Manifesto is not just the product of Jeremy Corbyn's brain - it is a distillation of policy democratically decided at Labour Party conference.

and Momentum.

As usual you have made a number of false assertion, 'liked' by the usual fellow travellers. I have never sought to deflect or minimise the evil of Islamist terrorism. I have pushed back on numerous occasions when members make sweeping generalisations regards all Muslims / practitioners of the Islamic faith, Off topic, but I will mention my recent one month in India. My experience was the Muslims I came in contact with were a damn sight better people than all other groups, as is my experience with Thai Muslims.

 

Many Islamist terror groups have grown due to a number of reasons e.g. endemic corruption, dictatorships the evil of Salafi clerics and so on. Thankfully we are currently we are seeing the slowing tempo of Islamist terrorism in Western countries after the collapse of the ISIS Caliphate. As you well know the greatest number of deaths by terrorism are within Islamic majority countries, mainly based upon the Shiite - Sunni divide.  Fighting for power between tribes and various terror tribal based terror groups and so on. IMO there is not one all encompassing ideology, nor 'solution'. IMO the end to the killings based upon the various Islamist ideologies will evolve over time, just as it did within the Christian world.  

 

Our security forces have stated that Islamist terrorism in the West will likely continue for decades. There is no 'solution' other than vigilance to reduce the risk.  Plus of course heeding the guidance of our security forces on issues such as cease contributing to tensions by expressing hatred and division.

 

BTW you have a very short memory regards far right motivated killings in the UK. As with other extremist ideologists there will be more murders.

Well i have spent years and years working and living in the vicinity of Muslims ,and i would take any other faith over them ,i have also spent some time in Dhaka ,which is populated by mainly Muslims ,it was a disgusting place and i am not a "fellow traveller" but  seen it first hand . 

I am sure there are good Muslims ,but they are few and far between ,they follow their Phrophet and his "ways"

If any of you really think any govt is going to uprate your pensions ,then you believe it when a hooker down soi 6 says your a "hansom man" while standing there in your sweat stained vest and shorts ,????

Factual? More like lying by omission. Let's look at the FULL quote from The Guardian:

 

https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2019/sep/19/fastest-growing-uk-terrorist-threat-is-from-far-right-say-police

 

 

10% of their caseload, eh? So what do counter-terrorism police spend the other 90% of their time investigating?

 

 

Muslim terrorism,simple answer 

Our son went to junior school for years in the UK when he was in university over here ,they used to pay him to teach English  sometimes as his English/Thai was better than the teachers ,he now runs a small company ,when he was initially interviewed the owner could not believe his English was so good and he had a local  English accent . Pays to be able to speak read and write English here ,my wife can as well
