Yay, more dogwhistle racism; supplies were running low there for while.

Just to be clear...during Easter time in a Christian countries capital city, you are suggesting he's Raciest for pointing out the lack of Easter celebration decorations and instead choosing to focus on a Muslim celebration?

Azhar Ali! lest we forget.

What is municipal easter decoration? fked if I know what that is. No idea what a ramadan light display is either for that matter, but it's pretty clear what 10p Lee is up to.

Mr Butcher, a local businessman, has for the past 12 years set up and helped run a soup kitchen, Amazing Grace, and more recently, The Big Red Night Bus to help homeless people in the Lancashire resort.

Well that is going to trigger some on here.

It's pretty grubby isn't it.

I'm fairly sure I read the lights are paid for privately so presumably if someone Christian wants to do the same they can do so.

Even then of all the things to be bothered by.

The cricketer, or the bloke from Rochdale? What is the relevance?

Re Blackpool, I read
"Mr Anderson and the candidate got on a Reform election battle bus for a tour around the town, passing miles of shuttered shops and closed and dilapidated hotels and B&Bs.

Blackpool is one of the poorest towns in England, with eight wards being in the 10 most deprived neighbourhoods in the country, according to 2019 indices of multiple deprivation produced by the Government."

Mr Anderson's comments:
“I’m sick to death of people in this country apologising for our history, our heritage, our culture. I’m sick to death of people ripping flags down, statues down.

“We’re fed up of our capital city being taken over by Islamists on a regular basis.
“I’m not going to apologise to Sadiq Khan while I’ve got breath in my body.”

So right, Reform are really getting a grip with the problems that constituents are facing today.

Blackpool residents need to rise up, march to Lytham St Annes and tear down the statue of Les Dawson!

Does London generally put up Easter decorations? Hanging some bunnies up, maybe spray some chocolate around?

If only there was another Christian celebration available where millions of lights and decorations were hung up for months on end in London….

Easter celebration decorations? Since when have we had them?

Anyway, yes im suggesting he’s racist, not just because of that but for the ‘I want my country back’ nonsense.

I agree, it is totally racist imo. I think he could bring Reform down before they've barely got off the ground.

Anderson doesn't own a country, and wanting to go back in time is hardly a serious political platform.

Anderson is neither a resident of London or Bristol, yet he feels those residents should lead lifestyles approved by himself. Bonkers.

And what are they? Man on a stick? Zombies??

Bloody Muslims, coming over here and making the place look nice!

[bitchstewie]

It's one of the things I find funny.

"I want my country back. We need to take pride in our country."

"Hmm OK well club together raise some money and you can pay for your own Christian lights to go up this Easter."

"No not like that!"

I have very vivid memories as a child of being taken down to London on the train to go and see the Easter lights along Oxford Street. We would spend the whole evening marvelling at the illuminated eggs, chicks, and the huge illuminated Christ on the Cross which would be sent over from Norway every year and erected in Trafalgar Square. The highlight for me was always the trip to Hamleys where I'd queue for hours to sit on the Easter Bunnies knee and tell him my wish list of chocolate I was hoping to receive on Easter Sunday.

Now, I refuse to visit Khans Muslim hell-hole of rapists and thieves. The cheeky Cocker-knees have all been usurped by foreigners who no-longer wear the ENGLISH traditional pearly king & Queen outfits but Saris, and they no longer dance on roof tops with the chim-chim-chimney sweeps and perform vast outlandish Bollywood inspired dance numbers across the graves of our fallen warriors! No-one speaks English anywhere and the only white faces are the brave Taxi drivers who tell it like it is. These days you get arrested and thrown in jail if you say your English! I want my country back! /Sarcasm

Fair point. How would you describe yourself?
Google recons...
Generally, the left wing is characterized by an emphasis on "ideas such as freedom, equality, fraternity, rights, progress, reform and internationalism" while the right wing is characterized by an emphasis on "notions such as authority, hierarchy, order, duty, tradition, reaction and nationalism".
I must say I think they have 'ideas such as freedom' and 'notions such as authority' around the wrong way? Seems 'reform' is a left wing ideology too...figures
Along with that quick Google...I also did the first (US centric) quiz that appeared https://www.politicalpersonality.org/test/
Apparently I'm a...

'Freedom Steward
You are an independent spirit who champions individual autonomy.
Freedom Stewards value privacy, autonomy, and are generally distrustful of the political order. You feel that the world would be better off if people just took care of themselves and didn’t rely on government institutions. You prefer to keep to yourself, rather than engage in public political campaigns. Generally a hard worker, you pave your own way and just want the government to stay out of it.'

So there you are. Quite accurate actually.

That American test is barking mad!

Despite strongly disagreeing with "I do everything I can to protect traditional religious values." and "Abortion should be illegal in the US.", by providing my best Trumpite answers elsewhere, I managed to get it to say that my single most important priority was "Religious Fundamentals - promoting and protecting religious values"!

[bitchstewie]

Not that surprising is it?

I always remember listening to a bloke who was a dedicated Thatcherite and when he moved to Montana they quite literally thought he was a Communist.

Turns a blind eye to Labour Party rep’ stirring hatred from a public forum speech with content full of
anti semitic bile. Do you hate Jewish people as well?
