Y'all don't own humor my Lords. Sent from my Lenovo A7020a48 using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app I never suggested anything otherwise. I just said "Now THAT is brit. humour at it's best ". Incidentally, the person holding the placard seems to be of Caribbean descent? It doesn't matter at all as the placard was very funny, and she's obviously integrated to the extent that she appreciates the brit. humour of under-statement.

dunroaming Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 Apparently there was a pro-Trump rally in London on Saturday in response to the anti-Trump rally on Friday. Apparently hardly anybody turned up (no surprise there then) and the ones who did just ended up brawling with some getting arrested. As pathetic as it always is.

As I said, we do have free speech in the UK, even if you and the Orange One don't care for it when people use that freedom to criticise him. But there are limits, and if those limits are exceeded then there are legal consequences. Just two examples:- Anjem Choudary jailed for five-and-a-half years for urging support of Isis UK imam who preached support for Isis jailed for six and a half years Of course, those two, and others, if British citizens by birth cannot be banned from the UK; but hate preachers, suspected terrorists etc. who are not British have been; List of people banned from entering the United Kingdom Quote The Home Office, a United Kingdom government department, has, from August 2005 to 31 March 2009, excluded 101 individuals from the UK for having "engaged in unacceptable behaviour". Of those, 22 were excluded by then Home Secretary Jacqui Smith between 28 October 2008 and 31 March 2009. On 5 May 2009 Smith publicly "named and shamed" 16 of those individuals.[1] In addition to the sixteen, other people are or have been banned from the United Kingdom...……. Smith's successor as Home Secretary, Alan Johnson, ended the policy of naming people who are banned from entering Britain. As can been seen from that list, not all hate preachers are Muslims! Finally, the people in your propaganda picture are not representative of British Muslims; far more so are those who took back their local mosque from Abu Hamza and his cronies: Finsbury Park Mosque: How religious centre went from 'al-Qaeda guesthouse' to model of moderation Edit, just noticed the symbol above Trump's left shoulder; FOSP. It's the logo of the American right wing Freedom of Speech Productions. Odd that an organisation with such a name wishes to restrict the exercising of that right in others!

I didn't see anyone protesting it then. Removal of children from parents was not a policy of the Obama administration Only when parents had felony charges pending or convictions was this done. It was very rare. Under Trump's zero tolerance policy removal of children from parents was the rule.A yuuuge and obvious difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manufacturing is also in the midst of a robotics revolution and automation.Particularly high tech. One of the major points about the ludicrousness of Trumps promise to bring back manufacturing jobs is that the majority of the jobs that were exported couldn't be regained even if those industries came back because technological advances have made those jobs reduntant. I agree that Trump is wrong about manufacturing jobs for people, as automation is going to devastate the labour market, but why would anyone want illegal immigrants when there will be no work for them? Surely everyone should be wanting immigration reduced? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Immigration should be reduced severely now, as many immigrants will become unemployed in the next few years. You yourself mentioned manufacturing, so you are apparently contradicting yourself by claiming plenty of work in the future. This is going off topic, so my last reply on the subject.

Yes if I were you I'd leave too before the going got even worse. So are you claiming that unemployment is high now? Are you claiming that the only work for immigrants is in manfacturing? Do you believe that the majority of American workers work in manufacturing? I guess we'll never know the answers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
