What a waste of our taxes on 11:48 - Aug 10 by Whos_blue | "Anti genocide blah blah blah banners". Seriously? What do you mean here? |
It's alarming that the country has lurched so far to the right that opposing genocide is now seen as somehow woke lefty nonsense. Opposing genocide should be basic human decency, irrespective of one's particular political leanings. |  |

What a waste of our taxes on 11:47 - Aug 10 by Herbivore | They've done more in 14 months to tackle immigration than the Tories managed in 14 years, so I'm surprised you're so down on them when immigration is one of your biggest concerns. Personally, I think they've been pretty crap, but that's mainly because they've been governing to appease people who politically are much closer to you than they are to me. Seems that's not working for them. |
Trouble is I don’t believe a word that comes out of two tiers trap ! |  |

If they are that worried about it why don’t they go wave flags and banners over there ? |  |

You don't have to believe what he says, but you can't deny what is actually happening. We've recently detained asylum seekers who arrived by small boat and who will be returned to France as a result. Do you know how many people arriving by small boat the Tories managed to send back to France? The answer is zero. So perhaps at some point it's worth you considering why you remain so stubbornly anti-Labour when they are trying to address one of your main concerns. And the whole two tier thing is just nonsense so maybe time to grow up and discuss politics like an adult, yeah? |  |

Next time someone pontificates about how I should take your concerns seriously and debate with you, I'll point them to this thread as evidence of the futility of trying to have a discussion with you. It's like trying to debate the works of Nietzsche with a pig. |  |

People are just stupid supporting terrorism and getting arrested as a result. It is cowardly and pointless to protest about a problem 1000’s of miles away. If they were really that concerned they should go and protest at the sourc [Post edited 10 Aug 12:21]

Throughout this thread people have pointed out that they are not supporting terrorism. But you choose to pretend not to have spotted it. Troubling. |  | |  |

Hang on. I’ll not have you say things like that about Benters. Pigs have shown levels of cognitive sophistication in tests Benters has never, ever tried to reach those levels, I’ll thank you. |  | |  |

what's seen as lefty nonsense is causing millions of pounds of damage to defence assets, and taking raf planes out of service, at a time when europe faces a real and increasing threat from putin. opposing 'genocide' doesn't give someone protection from acting like a half wit. |  |

Yes. And? The people arrested were not, so far as any of us can tell, supporting terrorism. Which is what has been pointed out repeatedly and in respect of which you are opting for a disingenuous nelsonian blindness. |  | |  |

So following that logic, all anti migration protests should only happen in Kent. Or taking that premise further, France? |  |

So what would you have people do? Stay silent and just continue to stand by as the horror unfolds? I just don't get this. |  |

What you should clearly do, is go to your local Israeli embassy, and protest that they won’t let foreign protesters into Isreal. If you were really concerned that’s what you would do. But I bet you are even more cowardly than a Surrey pensioner with a sign. |  | |  |

well people generally seem ok about staying silent and standing by as horror unfolds in sudan, yeman, nigeria, ukraine, as well as the uyghurs in china. their horror isn't forcing them on to the streets in respect of those humanitarian disasters. |  |
