I don?t think I phrased that very well. ?I? should have read ?mine?. Soz

I think that’s part of Sith’s point, Tricky.
It isn’t Farage’s fault what his pervy nephew does, although I suspect you would have been rapidly asking questions had it been a relation of Starmer who had been upskirting and avoided serious punishment.
It also isn’t the fault of Muslims in general what you report Adil Rashid to have done.

So far from being selective, we’ve all heard of perverted vicars, corrupt coppers, dodgy teachers, crooked accountants, and pa edophile sports coaches in recent times. Most will recognise that they’re all just a tiny minority. Unfortunately you are unable to recognise that the same is true of Muslims and that the vast majority are neither exploitative or extremist.

You are right.

Tricky talks about being selective, yet his hero Farage is very much so.

He's been been very vocal about the abuse of girls and women by Muslim gangs and rightly so, yet only last week was pictured cosying up to McGregor and in the US supporting Trump.

Both who have been found guilty of ***ual abuse. I think taking a stand when it comes to abuse is commendable but only if it's irrespective of race, religion or photo opportunity or personal gain.

Trump knew absolutely nothing about Project 2025. Not heard of it. Not read it. Not going to. It's a complete coincidence that he is implementing most of it in the first 9 days of his tenure...

Well he has signed a flurry of executive orders, that doesn't mean anything gets implemented, indeed he has rowed back on the federal aid suspension. Seems to me its his usual **** show, a lot of bluster, some action which is relatively easy to do, like increasing troops on the border and his Tech Bros now falling out with each other, the battle of the egos.

Anybody can break stuff, its building a sustainable solution that actually works that is the problem.

Hasn’t stopped him blaming diversity, equity and inclusion for today’s awful Washington air crash. He really is a loathsome individual.

I was going to refer to him as being a c*nt but then I realised they are useful...

after the way the left has spent 4 years sticking the knife in, you can bet your bottom dollar he will be returning it.

But before you dismiss his comment give it some thought. We see it here in jobs like the police, by putting the best person for the job last, to satisfy the altar of diversity/equality/inclusion. Even white guys with superior qualifaications for the RAF, were turned away and a lesser qualified candidate,ethnic minority taken on.

Here a whistle blower for you.

Let?s all agree (even you Tricky) that Trumps timing shows him up to be crass and unfeeling. He was similar regarding the guy who died in his assassination attempt, it?s almost like his empathy for the recently deceased has been wiped from his brain.

BUT, we?ve had a discussion some time ago, when we were more inclined to listening to all views not just our own, and even the most liberal of we few agreed that quotas were a bad thing (I paraphrase there but that was the sentiment) and my observation is that quotas are one of the cornerstones of radical DEI. Personally, I?m flying into USA soon and for sure I want the most able folk managing my flight.

Link doesn’t work but I can probably guess the tone given the source.

The point surely is, he’s now - regrettably - the leader of the U.S. He’s supposed to act responsibly and with dignity and empathy at times like this.
A less dignified response I cannot imagine and a less responsible one, which is already in danger of prejudicing the inquiry, is also hard to imagine.
There are many examples of people making claims with zero evidence on here and elsewhere. We don’t need the leader of the ‘free world’ to join in.
