@1263 Where did I write that Britain owns Christianity? Point it out, Show me. I don't follow your last sentence. Who are 'they'? Immigrants? Do you think they are all acting in unison, in some sort of co-ordinated invasion? Are you on something much stronger than tea today, What time did you start drinking this morning?
@1263 Did I champion Channel 4 as a perfect broadcaster? No. Nevertheless the Reform reporting was interesting. There may some racists in the Liberal Democrats but on the whole the Liberal ideology places the party in the more progressive category on the whole. However the party line on certain issues such as trans rights versus women's right and shared changing spaces needs resolving as does how ...
@burnside that's a different topic. Whether you see it as a community or not, I seriously doubt whether Reform will gain much support from Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans, Non-binary and anyone who identifies as anything other than heterosexual. that's the point I'm making, because Reform threatens their rights and liberties..
@burnside Given the prevalence of anti-LGBTQ rhetoric that is found within the Reform party do you think Reform gain more or less support than other parties from Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Trans and Non-Binary voters? You're correct, the LGBTQ community do not vote as one and the different sections of it do not always see eye to eye, but if their rights and liberties are under threat they are, on ...
@burnside Because of campaigners like Cathy Mudge who happens to be one of the proposers for the Reform candidate in the Exminster and Haldon division and her campaigning and the row involving her group and Rosie Dawson as Chair of Teignbridge District Council and Rosie's track record as a trans rights campaigner. Then there's Reform's anti-woke agenda and the fact Reform UK has criticized so ...
@burnside I have no doubts that Reform will take control of many County Councils in May, however not here in South Devon. Reform need to win the centre ground to have a landslide victory in these elections and in the next General Election and it just won't happen as the party is too extreme, too right wing to ever win over moderates, those on the centre left, a significant proportion of the female ...
@1263 Ah yes Ali is a Middle Eastern name, so you think you've spotted a Muslim? Should I now be concerned for my welfare? Why am I confusing British with Christianity? So it's okay to accept one Middle Eastern religion (Christianity) in these islands and not another (Islam)? Who is to say that Christianity will never be replaced by another religion in the future, as was the case when the ...
@1263 The Monster Raving Looney party is the exact image that comes to mind when I see footage of Farage's Reform rallies. Ed Davey's may come across as a fool but his approach has been successful and we've got more public exposure. The means justifies the end. Not everyone in the Liberal Democrat party agrees with Ed Davey's handling of the Post Office Scandal or his statement about women and ...
@1263 Santa Claus, also known as St Nicholas was from Asia Minor, modern day Turkey, so another example of Christianity and celebrations being not truly 'British', but rather a foreign import. And no I'm not seriously suggesting we revert to Druidism or any other re-Christian faith. Do you take everything literally? Is Ali a Druidic name?
By not using the word Easter it extends the sales period and the need for reductions after the holiday. Christianity is a Middle Eastern religion as is Islam, so truly 'indigenous' Brits should surely be celebrating the pre-Christian festival.
