PM statement in the Commons.

Provide security forces with more resources

Deal with security threat at source - bombing in Iraq & Syria

Take on radical narrative, stand up for our values - identify radicalisation
Did he wave a piece of paper, saying 'Peace in our time'? All he seems to care about is not upsetting Muslims, and Boris the Turk is no better. With people like them in charge, the country is finished.*


* Before any of the apologists ask why I don't leave, I already have. I'm dreading what I'll see when/if I ever return.

Millions of people living happily together without care for someones skin, religion or hair colour in a peaceful country with a thriving economy? Apart of course from a small number of intolerant ****holes of all hues, colours and beliefs who think only they are special because they are white, catholic, muslim or whatever

Agreed but how on earth do we get them away from these people. I was thinking yesterday with Glastonbury being on we really do need another summer of Love. Its Politicians and Relgion that will destroy the World not your aveage Joe.

How in the wide world of sports is this an existential threat to the UK? What unmitigated piffle the PM speaks.

Perhaps, once we can understand the feuds and persecution which took place on these Isles between Catholic and Protestant under the name of 'Christianity' - and how they were resolved (confused) - then we may be able to dispense good guidance to those who have religious differences yet unresolved.
Yes, but that happened 400 years ago, and the only people still holding on to that fight are a handful of idiots across the Irish Sea - who are just as backwards and brainwashed as the ISIS lot. We've managed to get rid of that somewhat retarded point of view as the older generation(s) has died out, and in another generation or so will hopefully be all but a memory.

A LOT has changed since then, the world has got smaller, we have discovered it's no longer flat, there is no man with a beard on a cloud, or an elephant-headed chappie with 4 arms, you know, basic stuff like that. What was acceptable 2000 years ago (Christians to the lions, then the Christian crusades etc) is quite obviously nothing to be held up as some sort of jutifiable beacon, yet the same old tripe gets trotted out every time someone wants to deflect attention or blame.

Why divert the attention from the idiots who, in the name of Islam (as that is what they have admitted), go around killing innocent people on a beach just because they are white and western?

I say that as a non-religious guy working in a non-christian country with an office full of non-christian colleagues and friends. I mentioned these killings yesterday and the only person willing to put forward an opinion was a Hindu. All the muslim guys just put their heads down and didn't say a word - and it's not like I never speak to them, they're all what I consider mates, we see each other on weekends, I see their families, their kids etc. But not a single one would say anything against the attacks - maybe it was peer pressure, I don't know. But it was a bit disappointing, really.

Agreed. Cretinous comment.
If the stupid, overpaid infidels were not putting stupid amounts of of money in their pockets, do you honestly think that the locals would give a toss about them?
Yes I do, you're a pillock.

Which is pretty much what you will see in most of the world.....yes even here in the Middle East.

Thank you so much BSR. I still maintain that their motives were not as clear cut as people seem to think!

Or a joke, perhaps, that you think that people in lorries are more important that British victims of a massacre stranded abroad.
Idiot.
Said no thing such - you are clearly an irony bypass victim but you stick with your dumb interpretation
oh Prick for good measure

Edited by HIS LM on Monday 29th June 19:48
That was the end result AFTER an edit?
"oh Prick for good measure". What does that even mean? Is English your first language?
I feel certain you don't know what irony means but Ill give you a good example. Ironically the majority of foreigners that you would like sent back, speak better English than you do.

I cant speak for the hotel workers whose minds you are clearly inside, but I can say that if a maniac was coming at me with a gun my first thought wouldn't be "Hmmm, I must protect these English people or my job as a hotel waiter might be at risk".
Ridiculous to suggest their motivations were the maintenance of their low-paid jobs and I would love to see you in the same situation.

Wow. You're a PH N,P & E hero.
So Muslims denouncing terrorism isn't enough. Muslims chasing after an armed terrorist & pinpointing his location to police isn't enough.
You're part of the problem, certainly not part of any solution.

I never said they didn't! They showed extreme courage in a terrifying situation! I was merely questioning their motives! Were they defending innocent infidels or looking after their interests?

And yes, for whatever reason, they showed they were extremely brave!

I don't agree with PD's comments at all as they are pretty abhorrent but here is one guy who mentions being worried about his job:

To be fair, I can't begrudge the guy for being pissed off that this psycho has terminally ruined the area he lives and works. He's a braver chap than I.

Yes, you've said it three times now and it remains moronic and uncharitable in the extreme.
We get it, Poledriver, you can never see anything a muslim does in a positive light because if it looks good there must be an ulterior motive.
Its an easy concept to grasp so it doesn't need the repetition as we all understand what you are saying, we just think it is stupid and unpleasant.

Maybe while he's busy backpeddling he could apologise for editing my post. Because to the casual browser, who maybe doesn't know what 'FTFY' means, it might look like I said something pretty crass.

Why this site allows users to edit other users' posts is beyond me.
