Islamophobia and the Tories...

"If you feel frightened or threatened by foreigners then why not try to actually meet and talk to them? They are just ordinary human beings the same as you or I."

Your patronising arrogance is astonishing 59, do you really think you're the only person on this msgboard who has actually met and talked to a foreigner ? Reading some of the utter drivel you post when you go off on one of your rants I think you really do.

"They are just ordinary human beings the same as you or I". Well thanks for that 59, I'd never have guessed.

"I simply can't understand that if the way the country that you live in makes you feel that way that you don't decide to go and live somewhere more in tune with your thoughts. If I felt that critical about our country then I would certainly clear off."

Seeing as you're clearly distraught about the fact that we're leaving the EU, and have done nothing but moan and criticise the decision of the 17.4 million racist bigots who voted to Leave, I assume you'll soon be clearing off to one of the 27 other EU countries. Have you made up your mind which one yet ? I would recommend France, I lived there for 8 years and enjoyed every minute, wonderful people, good friends, but it does help if you can speak the language, I could and never had a problem. If you can't I'd learn it first, they don't have a lot of time for people who park themselves in their country but can't be arsed to speak their language, very much like us Brits in fact.

Aye Sinkov. It's one of those words that has origins which can be traced to a specific point but which has become a common insult for the wider population.

So when you see the word "snowflake" used on anyone over 19 years of age no doubt you will defend the target.

On the other point, I was not referring to you Sinkov, but you must admit that most anti-foreigner rhetoric is a result of ignorance and is a kind of defence mechanism against a perceived threat. That is my experience anyway.
There are always specific incidents that are unacceptable (grooming gangs, catholic priests, football hooligans) that need sorting out properly, but this shouldn't mean that we dismiss a whole group of people because of it (Muslims, the Catholic faith, footy fans)

So instead of limiting our hatred to the justifiable targets such as Rovers fans or Yorkies a certain group of people simply have an aversion to no Brits and especially to "people of colour" (Am I allowed to say that? If not then I apologise)

No Sinkov, I'm staying put.

I believe we will be weaker as a nation because of Brexit (less wealth, less influence and less respect) but the positives of living here will far outweight these negatives.

Cissy Green meat pies, Wainwrights ale, the Clarets, the Lakes (we did Souther Fell this week), being allowed to argue the toss without being banged up, the BBC, proper cups of tea, the boat race, and, whatever peoples views within decent limits, the right to speak your mind openly - as demonstrated on this board.

The Kinks have it spot on..

No it hasn't 59, the lefty snowflakes themselves might wish it so in their social media bubble, it describes them so perfectly of course they would, as might you, but it refers to the Millennials cowering in their safe spaces, applied to anyone else it's completely meaningless. The Snowflake Generation, sheer genius.

Last week on Facebook two British white males Bobbies arrested a man of West Indian origin for preaching the name of Jesus Christ from the Bible. he was outside a London Tube Station and he was arrested for a breach of the peace despite reading quietly on his own from the Lord's book.

Hate filled groups of male Muslims lead by the like of Abu Hamza al-Masri scream, congregate and violate public space and the police feel obligated to protect them.

Something is going seriously wrong somewhere and before you start 1959-60, I wrote a very well received thesis on the benefits of human diversity in the United Kingdom. The snowflakes and PC Brigade need to get a handle on real life.

Amber Rudd has been left "mortified" by referring to Dianne has a person of "colour". I love Dianne with all of my socialist left wing heart, but how else can I describe her skin colour?

I'm white with a red mush because of all the alcohol I sup and I really don't care what people say about my ruddy complexion, but then again I am neither PC orientated or take offence at loony Lib/Dems who are "mortified" by indelicate talk and leave no stone unturned to find something to be offended by.

Black, coloured, chocolate, mixed, off white, who cares Dianne? Who loves you baby?

I know it’s only on here 59-60 but your speech is preaching to the wrong people as I said in my last post I’m certainly not racist in my views.

However your note for me to leave my own country when as I said my fore fathers literally fought for it is below the belt.

Also you should try asking the same question about integrating to the opposite side your asking for our people’s acceptance but will you get it the opposite way around? .

I’m just conscious that we are giving away our heritage when we don’t have to and We can all still live in harmony, sadly it feels like we are the outsiders staking a claim to live here now not the residents who have been here for ever.

I understand your acceptance that the world has changed, what I’m asking is why do our lives beliefs religion have to change to fall in line with someone else’s.

Personally if I moved to a different country - culture I wouldn’t force my views, murder , mame , abuse anyone who was good enough to accept me and my family into their community.

That’s a very poignant statement 59-60 as in reality that is what is/has happend in our country and many others now (Germany - France ).

Before I become racist I accept that not all people are like this ( as I say I have friends who are Asian Indian African etc ) , It would help a lot of people understand if the rest of the communities distances themselves from the horrible side and different beliefs.

We are very tolerant people I believe in this country ( perhaps too tolerant now ) As I said before 59-60 it won’t affect me and you, but the generations after your kids - gran kids - great gran kids may see a very different way of life in our great country.

Absolutely bang on BT , this is what is happening now I mean where will it end if you not allowed to say a coloured lady.
Reading the bible insiting racism? I don’t think so.
The post before this asks the question on acceptance what can and can’t be done or said.

It’s ridiculous
