Just hope there isn't a significant attack on U.S. soil (I mean something on Paris scale) as that could sway people towards him if they're suitably scared.

I saw the years of the links I put up and so what? Stuff just gets pushed out of sight- doesn't mean it's gone away. The fact that it was there in the first place is very disturbing.

I don't think anyone can be accused of xenophobia - phobia is a very strong word, the type of rhetoric used by the left to gag the masses, like the word 'racist', designed to make people who are suspicious, or careful, think there is something wrong with them...well I for one am extremely suspicious of an 'organisation', 'cult' or whatever , that has set up what is effectively a parallel society and made it abundantly clear that they think the way of life of the 'infidel' is inferior (and has been unashamedly courted by politicians of almost all persuasions).

Even some members the Muslim Council of GB, when asked for its opinion of the Charlie Hebdo murders, said they deplored the murders, but added the proviso that Charlie Hebdo shouldn't take the piss out of the prophet, or words to that effect.

I do remember this video doing the rounds (immigration officers

in Rye Lane) provoking the notion Rye Lane is no go for some reason

(look at the comments).




The Rye Lane I know is nothing like that of course - If I dropped

a cigarette there I'd be pulled :).

I haven't read all this thread, I'm just idly browsing before bed. so I'm sorry to jump in.


I obviously don't condone the Charlie Hebdo murders, but in my opinion the cartoonists were poking a bear with a stick.


The nature of how Muslims/Mohammed were portrayed in the cartoons was compared by many to the portrayal of Jews in cartoons in Germany before and during the war.


If that comment isn't relevant then please ignore, I don't want to send the thread off course.

Charlie Hebdo has poked fun at Judaism and Christianity as well- the Pope has particularly been hard hit and France is a catholic country -in fact ever since I can remember there have been jokes poking fun at religion...primarily because it is a load of twaddle designed to control people and deserves to be ridiculed at every opportunity...

I'm not surprised that a quarter of Brits (in fact I'm surprised it isn't more people)agree with Trump's views on this. And exactly who compared the cartoons to Jews in cartoons before the war?...the caricatures of everyone are well known- everyone is lampooned and it is funny...comparing Islam to the Spanish Inquisition would not be far from the truth.

I don't think there is anything wrong with Muslim leaders condemning the violence of the Charlie Hebdo murders while saying that the cartoons were offensive.


You can think something is wrong (and people often do) without condoning violence. In fact, unless I missed something, I don't think they were suggesting that it should be illegal to make fun of the profit, but just that they think its wrong and offensive. People say they are offended by things other people do all the time so I'm not really sure what your point on that is.

I don't think they find cartoons only 'offensive'.

And in Poland you can be jailed under article 196 of their Penal Code for public calumny of religious objects.

Humanity will never move on and get out of the mire of state sanctioned persecution of atheism at this rate

Try the Bible for size. This is what it says about women:

I can't begin to unpack it. The layers of self-reference and narcissism are obviously plastered on extremely thickly. But I can't see what Trump thinks would be funny about it.


Just, can't, compute.

And what makes you think that must Muslims in Britain do? That wasn't the position taken by those you were accusing of defending the Charlie H murders.

When talking about the very specific issue of beating children, or indeed FGM, yes you can expect people to behave in a way that the law in the country they live in would expect.



That's pretty different from expecting people to just leave their culture behind and fit in with "our" ways.



As well I am sure you realise.



Unless you're a complete idiot.

    • Callout for help from any local experts here. Looking to find out more about the history of the property on the corner of Whateley Road and Ulverscroft road (with the green glazed bricks). Now a residential property, i'm told it was a bottle shop in days gone (the house was built around 1900) by and i'd like to learn more about the history of the business that was once here - name, photos, anything at all really! Seems to be very little from open source research so i'm hoping anyone with history in the area can provide any insight!  Starting here before i contact Southwark Archives or similar orgs to get any information and pictures (any advice here also would be welcome). Thank you
    • Portable ramps are available for businesses to use in this sort of situation, aren't they? I don't know whether one would be suitable for use here, or whether they have the space to store one. Lots of people have  permanent or temporary disabilities which mean they have to use crutches or a wheelchair.
    • I can’t remember where I read that figure but this article in the Grauniad from 2023 discusses Ocado results from 2022. The average shopping cart fell to £118 from £129 the previous year. But Ocado lost £500m that year on approximately 20 million orders (circa 400k orders per week). So, averaging out to £25 lost per order. Ocado pauses building new warehouses as annual losses balloon to £500m | Ocado | The Guardian  Obviously, the £500m loss includes various factors. But Ocado has existed for 25 years and only made a small profit in a couple of those years. The rest have been huge losses. Yet it continues to raise funds and speculation sends the share price up and down. In that respect,  it’s like the UK version of Tesla. Meanwhile, the main growth in the supermarket sector has been for Aldi and Lidl, who do not deliver.
