Should any marches around or near the Cenotaph this weekend not be allowed?

Yes of little brain, they should have worn headdresses , covered their faces and carry anti Semitic banners

OK I’m fine with Thug😄

Thug it will be - but you must admit they appear to be people of little brain.

Engerland!!!

I do wish posters would stop using the term "knuckle draggers" to describe the extreme right thugs such as Stephen Yaxley-Lennon and his group.

Some people seem to think it is a suitably worse description than thug which in fact means a violent, aggressive person, especially one who is a criminal.
It is not.

Thug is more apt than knuckle dragger.

It is disrespectful to those in the animal world such as chimpanzees, gorillas and others which do walk on their knuckles. Knuckle draggers are no more peculiarthan bipeds like humans and kangaroos, as were some dinosaurs.

This is not a joke btw.
Every time I read it, it grates.

Or the immaculate conception?

Thank you ronib.
Now I don’t know what TIC means either.

It means a nervous twitch

MaizieD my thoughts are that the government is out of step with the country and the government doesn’t reflect the silent majority!
At the moment it’s hard to think of who the government does represent but they are obviously working on it with all the shuffling around.

So, no evidence at all of a 'silent majority' supporting Braverman?

I'm relieved...

MaizieD the government is not the silent majority. If Kemi Badenoch is appointed Home Secretary there really is something fishy in Westminster. Wait and see.
Of course SB doesn’t mind being sacked as it happens regularly. I think she has leadership aspirations.

There are times when I find your thought processes incomprehensible, ronib.

Where did I say that the government were the 'silent majority'?

Remember Cameron with his LOL? Well LOL he’s back.

I thought it might mean Roars of F**** Laughter.

Thanks again ronib.

Thank you ronib.

You and me both eazybee. It seems Quokka likes doing this. TIC on another thread. I’m not a fan of text speak.

Roll on floor laughing.
Only we’re not.

But what does it mean?

ROLF?
I am increasingly irritated by people who cannot be bothered to type the words they mean.
Laziness.

What’s ROFL?

A touch emotional Quokka?

I’m not saying she shouldn’t have gone but all this chopping and changing doesn’t inspire confidence in the government, quite the reverse in fact.

Confidence in this government?

ROFL

Nigel Farage suggests that the majority of voters are behind SB.
A long time until the General Election so all water under the bridge by then…..

Well Nigel, we’ve seen her supporters’ ‘defending the cenotaph’, attacking the police and shouting racial abuse. Knuckle-dragging, flag-waving, foul-mouthed football hooliganism clutching cans of lager and hyped up on drugs.

The pride of British manhood!

I’m not saying she shouldn’t have gone but all this chopping and changing doesn’t inspire confidence in the government, quite the reverse in fact.

It's no wonder that Jewish people living in the UK should be worried many people, including several on here conflate antisemitism with anti Zionism. There is a big difference.

I think that this is a crucial point. Anti-Semitism and Anti-Zionism are NOT the same thing!

I belong to two organisations that show that many Jewish people actively oppose the current Israeli government, and support the rights of Palestinians. www.jewishvoiceforpeace.org/ This organisation is based in the US, and jfjfp.com/ based in the UK.

Both are sources of information about the situation, and this is a good example: jfjfp.com/a-brief-history-of-the-netanyahu-hamas-alliance/

The right wingers will be organising😄. Good to see a government so United.

Thank goodness for that. There have been some vile people in politics who appeal to some and have been in positions of importance. She was using her position to further her own ambitions rather than for the good of the population as a whole. I think if she wants to form a very Right Wing party, she should go ahead and do it. Some will follow her but it won't destroy the conservative party it will be short lived chaos but perhaps it would be better for this country to go through that and definitely better for the Tories in the long run. I'm not a conservative voter but we need our political parties to be functioning well regardless of whether they are in power or not.
