O Britannia

Canadians yanks and Vikings going on about Ridings aside, everyone actually in Britain knows that Nigel "gas the jews - hiss" Farage is a fraud. He might get 30% of the vote, but 60% will vote anyone but his vile party and he is totally capable of losing an election to a bin even on home territory.

The problem is, with votes counted "first past the [post", it doesn't matter 60% opposed, anybody but him, unless agreed on ONE alternative. If 3-4 opponents splitting the opposed vote 30-40% can be enough to win. Politics as usual makes it difficult/impossible for the opposition parties to agree on a "unity" candidate.

Keep something in mind, folks. 30% support might be too little to take power but plenty to disrupt anybody else from taking power.

All true enough. But what IC is whining about above is that none of the other parties can be bothered with this circus and they are leaving Farage to go one to one against and intergalactic trash can. So 46% - which is what garage got I believe when he won his seat - isn't enough for him to keep it.

So are you Tom and Jerries going to close your borders, or continue to ship in tens of millions of turd-worlders and lose your own country?

Are you going to fight for your British heritage or not?

So are you Tom and Jerries going to close your borders...

Just as soon as you try to cross them.

The British ability to stick your heads in the sand and delude yourselves is impressive.

I presume Micky and Will here have already converted, bowed and bent to Islam then? Allahu Akbar?

Not worth the risk. You might be one of the 72 virgins.

Do you think Wizzo gets his misinformation from Grok?

The "houris," you mean?

Try try not to think of why there has to be 72. And try not to think of why they're "chained," or "restrained" or "guarded," (depending on the interpretation Islamists offer). And try not to think of why they're called "companions," and their specific gender isn't mentioned. And try not to think of why them being "perpetual virgins" is included in the equation.

And then try not to imagine just how "paradisical" Muslim paradise must be for them.

Religious texts are full of nonsense.

Next issue.

[Immanuel Can]

Religious texts are full of nonsense.

And secular texts aren't? You're fine with Mein Kampf and The Communist Manifesto?

It seems the human race is very adept at generating nonsense. In fact, it produces far more nonsense than wisdom, regardless of genre.

LOL --- ask a Briton? << and no, I am NOT misspelling -- just referring to a long history of invasion --- and we don't know what pre iron age people lived in Britain but obviously they existed, eg: Stonehenge is WAY prior to the iron age Celtic peoples >>

Well, if yer gonna paint Kick me on your arse, the singular advantage of the Muslim paradise is that you won't be in it.

And the word in Arabic is ............????

After all, you Christians read "almah" as "virgin" (as opposed to "young woman", unmarried, so by courtesy considered a virgin, after all "lashan harah" (evil tongue/gossip) is a serious sin).

I don't speak Arabic. But here's what Islamists say about themselves.

"The Hadith: Accounts from canonical collections (like Sunan al-Tirmidhi and Sunan Ibn Majah) elaborate on the concept. In these texts, it is detailed that believers in Paradise will be married to companions who are described as eternally virgin, untouched, and made physically perfect." (Sunnah.com)

[phyllo]

A Platonic marriage. Is that good or bad?
