Where debating everything under the sun is only the beginning

“Portugal is the only country in the world where a man’s mistress is uglier than his wife”

Just in passing where does the head of the ex-Portuguese Royal Family living these days.

Cameron’s position is completely and utterly incoherent. His government has moved to demonize and destroy all resistance to Islamization — an act predicated on the idea that the overwhelming majority of Muslims in Britain are peaceful, loyal citizens who accept secular rule, want it for their children, and are happy to take their place as one element of Britain’s gorgeous multicultural mosaic, and thus that any opposition to the massive immigration of Muslims into Britain and the rapid growth of Britain’s Muslim population was necessarily predicated on “racism” and “bigotry,” and not on any legitimate concern for the future of republican rule and free society.

Yet now he is saying that Muslim communities have to stop “quietly condoning” the Islamic State, which assumes, quite obviously correctly given the number of Muslims from Britain who have joined or tried to join the Islamic State, that there is broad support for it within the Muslim community........continued

The damn religion is not democratically leaning in it's whole existence nor thinking.

Interesting your are making that query. You should look in the US political mirror and scratch your head.

And touching on hypocrisy dear readers we get an insertion from Smiley on whisper it...hypocrisy. King of laughable as he supports the murderous Sinn Fein louts who are openly Socialist and neo-Marxist. You couldn't make him up.

Nah, jimbro.

I am quite happy living in a democracy whereas you are unfortunately not. Wall Street and the Pentagon rule and elections a waste of time for the ordinary working bloke. You learned nothing from that Revolution (started by 18th century posh and monied corporates). Always good for a laugh!

'80s file shows plan for Hong Kong 'plantation' in NIreland

LONDON (AP) — A bizarre plan to relocate the entire population of Hong Kong to Northern Ireland was considered an option in the uncertain years before Britain handed back the former British colony to Chinese rule, formerly classified government files showed.

Britain's National Archives on Friday released a 1983 government file called "Replantation of Northern Ireland from Hong Kong," which showed British officials discussing a far-fetched proposal to settle 5.5 million Hong Kong people in a newly built "city state" between Coleraine and Londonderry.

George Fergusson, an official at the Northern Ireland office, was inspired by a university lecturer's proposal to "transplant" Hong Kong to Northern Ireland — a move that would supposedly revitalize the local economy as well as save Hong Kong, which the lecturer believed had "no future on its present site."

"At this stage we see real advantages in taking the proposal seriously," Fergusson wrote in a memo to a colleague in the Foreign Office.

While it wasn't clear if Fergusson was writing tongue-in-cheek, the droll reply he received showed that it wasn't taken seriously.

"My initial reaction ... is that the proposal could be useful to the extent that the arrival of 5.5 million Chinese in Northern Ireland may induce the indigenous peoples to forsake their homeland for a future elsewhere," quipped David Snoxell at the Republic of Ireland Department. "We should not underestimate the danger of this taking the form of a mass exodus of boat refugees in the direction of South East Asia."

An official scribbled in the margins: "My mind will be boggling for the rest of the day."

Though outlandish, the idea illustrated anxieties at the time about the future of Hong Kong. Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher began talks with China on the topic in 1982. Two years later, the two sides agreed that the city would return to Chinese rule in 1997.

In our country, do we want to allow a means of communication between people which we cannot read?
My answer to that question is: ‘No, we must not’.
