    Hitchens Drives Stake Through Thatcher's Rotten Corpse

    from the radio interview - so are you becoming more of a socialist ? - No. Ive been a socialist & I found that unsatisfactory but I think socialism doesn't have a monopoly on compassion or concern for the poor but the problem is that the belief among many political conservatives that social...

    Question Time tonight

    He does do something about it. He analyses remarks and categorises them according to his own socio-political compass.

    Maoists in Brixton

    The 40 years of sleeper activity by the Lambeth Wagner Appreciation Circle to infiltrate all the major political parties of the Borough is far more insidious than any Maoist, CPGB, Militant, Compass, Progress, Momentum or Liberal Democrat Friends of Cake networks that have been exposed.

    Tareena Shakil - convicted of membership of Islamic State

    It's interesting how her femaleness is inevitably a big part of this story, whatever way you look at it. But that's true with women killers too, always much more exciting, partly just because statistically so much rarer but also all that stuff about us being gentle and nurturing types etc.

    Tareena Shakil - convicted of membership of Islamic State

    There is a lot of vile salivating on this thread. My god - young mother fucks up. runs away from home in romantic huff about a purer way of life. Has she actually, personally assaulted anyone - not to my knowledge...in fact, despite all the waffle about agency, she appears to be a victim of...

    Hundreds of women assaulted in German NYE celebrations

    "Yep. It gets a bit lonely here sometimes, out on the windy ledge with CR as my apparent comrade in arms" Don't get too near the edge;) Some of us on here can believe what CRs saying,but it's at such odds with his perambulations on other issues that make it dificult for to people take him...

    Hundreds of women assaulted in German NYE celebrations

    Exactly. Yep. It gets a bit lonely here sometimes, out on the windy ledge with CR as my apparent comrade in arms. The article he posted today though is the best thing I've read to date on the whole sorry mess of well-meaning people's response to the events . It's actually got logic in it...

    Hundreds of women assaulted in German NYE celebrations

    #not all leftists This post is toxic and full of generalisations based on anecdotal accounts, but I will bite (spaghetti monster give me strength) Ok I must ask do we have any opinion polls taken from left wing people that states they are ok with rape as long as it is minorities doing it...

    Hundreds of women assaulted in German NYE celebrations

    It'll be the absolute fucking end of them . This stuff . They should have a look at the catholic church in Ireland if they want to see the fate that awaits them for engaging in pretty much institutional denial on this issue . Like its not just casual denial . It's blanket . The left are to one...

    Hundreds of women assaulted in German NYE celebrations

    Rights is an interesting subject that has not really been touched on. Right to move around without restrictions by governments/ states has changed over time. In Europe it was not until period leading up to WW1 that more restrictions to movement were brought in ie passports. So from your post...

    Hundreds of women assaulted in German NYE celebrations

    Aye, nearly posted similiar, but the circumstances and conditions are really not appropriate. The aftermath of a vicious 'fight to the death worldwide conflict' and the arrival of thousands of young men who ( and I expect some stick here) would be better employed in defending their homes...

    A Pivotal Moment In Housing - When The Tories Take Our Home

    A place to live is one of the most basic of human needs, next to taking food that is. Unfortunately, housing has now become a source of income for those who can afford to ‘buy to let’ or ‘buy to sit’ (buy and then leave empty). Using housing as a way to make money has meant that rents and house...

    Leytonstone tube station "terrorist incident"?

    Yep. Most of them are aware of the political and social ramifications of what they do, and how it might affect the path of their stuggle. In the old sense of the word, they are - they may be from different points of the compass but all want to secure a caliphate - a nation - over Islam. They...

    Leytonstone tube station "terrorist incident"?

    Don't know if I can face the whole book to be honest (What's the opposite of compassion fatigue?) Have found this article summarising his findings though .. Myth Busting: Robert Pape on ISIS, suicide terrorism, and U.S. Foreign Policy Is it true that his research leads to him giving them...

    And next, Syria?

    ...Nusra. No to the USA and no to Russia. No to Teheran and no to Riyad, no to Doha, no to Istanbul. Yes to the people in struggle for democracy, social justice and equality. This is our political compass. " But is there any chance do you think of what he calls for actually happening? Please...

    The word Liberal as an insult.

    I think you've hit the nail on the head here. All the baggage about left wing or right wing dogma, to me is an impediment. What one needs to do, is acting in accordance with the circumstances in front of one. I think it's often the case that liberal attitudes are not based on kindness or...
