No amount of cajolery...

I'm not so sure - the idea that the government won't do anything because Muslims have a financial stranglehold on Britain is new (to me at least)

It sounds like half the audience at the Fall gig in Wakefield last night too. Maybe that was the afterparty?

Was a huge trope in the 70s (US and UK) with the influx of petrodollars. Lots of mainstream comedy shows depicting sheiks walking around buying everything they see.

Trying to remember the documentary (human rights related?) that was suppressed or chastised in the 80's at the request of the Saudis - they could pull some strings at one time. It was even a running theme on Spitting Image once. Not sure if that was down to oil or arms deals.

Think this was it, I was a bit too young at the time to pick up all the politics:

There was also recently the BAE corruption case that was dropped.
That the rulers of Saudi are cunts with some political clout is not in dispute, but to extrapolate this into a multinational Islamic conspiracy is horseshit. I can think of other nations that project power and culture far more effectively. Maybe someone should ask Tommy if he can think who this might be? Any chance of a decent TV interviewer pursuing this line of questioning?
(One of the more laughable EDL events has been the KFC/Halal chicken protests - defending the 'English' culture of southern fried chicken? This also contradicts the whole 'we're only against extreme Islam' claim - but that's not one anyone seriously believes anyway, is it?)

...because the stupid thing in all this is that 'western culture' has penetrated Islamic nations far more than Islamic culture has penetrated 'the west' in return. There are also extremist wankers over there fighting against this 'cultural invasion', read some of BinLaden's justifications. Reactionary twats are a universal problem.

Sounds a lot like the old antisemitic conspiracy theories, just re-heated and adapted to today's acceptable prejudices. Replace Jews with Muslims, zionist bankers with arab sheikhs and sprinkle in a bit of JHE rhetoric and leave to simmer for 10 years.

You wouldn't get as far as finding out though would you, having already decided he is fash based on his physical appearance.
And this after you calling an anti-fascist a fascist last week. You really don't see it do you? What use is this?

So what? Take the piss out of them for their racism. Leave the shit about beer guts and missing teeth out of it.
Racism against black bosses would rightly never be tolerated. Sexism against female bosses would rightly never be tolerated. But somehow this kind of crap is acceptable.
Why do you think they have missing teeth Corax? Because they're of inferior genetic stock? Or could it just be that dentistry is prohibitively expensive in this country?

So many particulars. So many questions.
Like they don't do enough to provoke censure without using devious tactics like this. But saying that a bit of propaganda can't hurt the cause against them can it?

Not having a go at the 15 year old by the way - you can't expect kids to have perfectly formed political views and so on. But the idea that this kind of prejudice is something to be proud of needs to be challenged.
Doesn't look like all of them are doing that.

Careful now. That stuff is dangerous.
Perhaps owing to the fact that I'm unaware that the arm needs to be held at the same angle as a sieg heil for the v for victory sign.

Maybe they're being cleverer than we give them credit for. Think about it - devise a 'peace sign'/'victory salute' that looks very much like a nazi salute and make sure everyone knows what it is. Then people will think the fash in there who can't resist a bit of the old sieg heil are doing that too.
Or am I giving them too much credit here?
