Everything about her conduct suggests it's a deeply held prejudice and her only real regret is getting caught and much effort has gone into trying to deflect and distract from the event itself.Quote:

Haven't got enough prison spaces for the ensuing riot that yaxley-Lennon might have as a contingency reaction?Quote:

He clearly goes too far.
But if you actually listen to him, it’s not all wrong. It’s the way he goes about it
It doesn't matter though - the fact is, he acts in bad faith, is a grifter, and generally an inexusably toxic influence on society.Quote:

When the proper authorities dont want to prosecute minoritys through fear of upsetting them, is it any wonder people like Robinson take up the challenge?Quote:

Whataboutery is it not, i'd have thought they would pin anything they could on him. In fact he is a jounalist and allowed to comment on things like any other journalist, but he seems to have a set of different rules apply to him that the establishment do?Quote:

It does not matter what you think, he works as a journalist there is no doubt about that.Quote:

Your state is secular without some religious trappings/prejudice due to conservatism.Quote:

Christian sects have done enough damage to the UK. They've probably ruined Scottish football too.
:agree: No argument from me there, but it does appear there is two tier politics on this subject and two tier policing. One side having a go at the other, but only really one side gets away with being able to say what they want?Quote:

I'd forgotten about the bishops. Would you not agree, nevertheless, that religion's influence is marginal in the UK and enlightment ideas are central to everything, even if these ideas lead many down the path of self-interest?Quote:

I think so to, currently a lot of it does seem to get a bit distorted for the person in the middle by the extreme language and behaviour that we do tend to see from groups on the far right.Quote:

I don't follow UK current affairs enough to know if this is really correct, but, if it is, may there not be some kind of justification in that the potential danger of allowing majorities to be stirred up is far greater than allowing minorities to be so?Quote:

Religion is just a means of gaining control of a congregation often through fear or false hope. Capitalism is the same in many regards and those that control the money are the new Bishops. Robinson is there to stoke fear and will be used like Farage etc for keeping that going. Trickle down economics is the new heaven. It sounds great but you will die before you see it.Quote:

Tommy will be rattling tonight and I will sleep well in my bed, I’m happy.
this is an interesting point IMO, because I don't think the enlightenment was necessarily the break from religion that people see it as - it was very much tied in with the reformation and protestantism, which are arguably the 'spiritual' seat of individualism, in that people no longer had to access their god via an institution's interpretation to the same extent...?Quote:

It's great to know about, particularly as someone who isn't religious, as it inoculates against some more reductionist thinking atheists are often guilty of.
The illusion of democracy imo. There is no reason you couldn't have a democratic society with a different economic model. I was born in 1968 so in my lifetime we had public ownership of all the main resources of the country. Not sure we have ever had socialism in its truest form though but definitely elements of it. Capitalism had dramatically less effect back then because housing and most vital services were state provided for many. We are starting to see what capitalism will always inevitably end up with. The rich will own everything and have complete control, like the church and monarchy have in the past. At that point citizens will feel like they have little to lose and start fighting back. At the moment the rich are winning the battle and getting them to blame each other and immigrants. Not sure that will last for any length of time though.Quote:

The rich own everything and have all the levers of control. They run the democracy after citizens have voted for either a home or away kit of the same team.
We have a problem just now with housing but te reality is the most kids have a better life than their parents under our current system.Quote:
