Here taxpayers are dreaming of that too - for the civil servants still never going to the office since Covid.

I haven't got an issue with 'non white' faces, but I do have an issue about extremist and outdated views and practices being pushed on the British people.

I'm in a very white part of NW England at the moment, quite different to the city where I live.  My grandkids here know few people who aren't white British. My grandson has a school friend whose heritage is Iranian, but not Muslim. That's probably why his grandparents came here.

Alex, no longer true. Germans discovered the "far niente" and our trade unions are dreaming of a 4 days working week.

It's a shame about Tommy Robinson .
He is branded as a thug and treated accordingly .
However he rightly highlighted the Muslim Pakistani rape gangs ( when the media were coyly calling them Asian - IMO an insult to every law abiding non Pakistani Asian in the country )
He continues to campaign again Sharia Law and radical Islam
He has been arrested and imprisoned on flimsy charges simple because he is Tommy Robinson not because he has actually committed a crime .
ie arrested and pepper sprayed for sitting in a cafe on a Saturday to observe the hate marches
if you listen to him talk there is not a lot of difference between him and Douglas Murray , except Doughlas Murray is eloquent well spoken and well known as well as being openly gay and would certainly sue the police for any mishandling .
Ditto Melanie Philips who says much the same thing in much stronger and cuttingly articulate terms .
However arresting a 74 year old Jewish woman for being an outspoken Jew is not yet on the Met police's agenda .

Still they were very tempted with Gideon Faltar who is also well spoken ,articulate and a law abiding
Jew .

So maybe they will get around to them eventually

Well not everyone.

Tommy Robinson became a political activist after hearing Muslims chanting "Death to British soldiers" during one of their numerous unruly marches through Luton.

He also shone the spotlight on Muslim grooming gangs.

And look what that's got him.

Quote from: klondike on Yesterday at 09:36:03 PMMeanwhile over the pond...

In New York, a man hears a burglar breaking into his home. He calls the police. 45 minutes later the police arrive to find the man and his wife dead, and nobody else in the house and all of their belongings gone.

In Tennessee, a man hears a burglar breaking into his house. He calls the police. While on the line, the police dispatcher hears 13 "bangs" from a gun. The man on the phone says, "don't hurry - I got 'em." When the police arrive the find a dead burglar with 13 bullet holes - all center-mass, with about a 2″ group. The police officer says: "Nice grouping!"

In Texas, a man hears a burglar breaking into his house. He calls the police. While on the line the police dispatcher hears 7 very loud 'bangs', followed by the sound of a magazine hitting the floor, and the click of another magazine going into the handle and the slide slamming shut. Then he hears another 7 loud bangs, followed by the same sounds as before. The man says, "no need to hurry, I got him!" When the police arrive, they find a dead burglar with 14 holes in his head, in 2 small groupings. The police officer says: "nice groupings, but next time take a breath between reloads and you can get them all in the same group..."
Lol.  :upvote: :grin:

What concerns me is the view that there's a very low risk of being attacked in your own home so don't think about it, as it doesn't equate to no risk.

I bet every single person who's been attacked & or killed in their own home probably thought it would never happen to them.

Until it did.

My personal view of home defence is the same as it is of seatbelts, better to wear it & not need it than not wear it & need it.

Too late to change the progress .. it has been happening for some time..

Quote from: Michael Rolls on Today at 05:31:37 AMso the Tories, unsurprisingly, have lost heavily, with 473 councilors losing their seats. What did surprise me was that only 185 of those losses were to Labour, with the other opposition parties gaining 288 seats.
I wasn't at all surprised, I'm a member of Momentum & there is a huge, but totally unreported, utter contempt for Starmer & the official Labour Party by many former staunch Labour supporters.
