FWIW I've been to a British Muslim wedding and found it to be an amazing cultural experience. I highly recommend it. It would certainly help you to break down some of those cultural barriers you clearly possess.

I went to a British Sikh wedding years ago and most of the whites had to be carried out on stretchers (me included). A bottle of whisky per couple was on the dinner tables, plus wine and beer and that was just for starters - it was ****ing carnage and went on for three days. I was supposed to get on a helicopter on the fourth day to work offshore, but tested over the limit to fly or be on a rig. Fortunately it was back in the day when you just lost a day's work, rather than had a disciplinary and got sacked.

So, why no alcohol at that lovely cultural event for those with a different culture?

Why did you say someone wanting an end to boats full of illegal immigrants arriving is a Nazi?

Errr...Where did I say that? And why the obsession with alcohol?

Loving the deflection btw.

The historical precedence of banning the Muslim faith, and every other one, and sending people to the gulag was what happened in the Soviet Union.
Any reason you are so pro Muslim? You despise our way of life? Think women’s are second class possessions of men? Anti alcohol? Would throw gays off the top of buildings?

Not banning things is our way of life. Freedom of expression. Freedom of religion.

In that case you haven't really been paying any attention to what
Starmer has been doing to Labour

Or what Garbage has been trying to do on the Tory right.

In spite of my political leanings, I really hope Starmer and Labour do a great job.
Why? Because I dread to think what the UK will be like if we see another 5 years of abject failure.

Having said that, serious question, can any leader or party succeed these days, even with such a massive majority, when we are so deeply divided on so many issues. The divisions exist not only within the UK population but even within parties themselves.
Immigration.
Gender
Climate
Brexit / EU
Religion / Culture / values
Gaza
etc etc.
And the continuing devolution (not just of countries, but now within countries) just makes for more divides.
There have always been differing views of course, but I can't recall the divides being so deep and so many as they are these days.

Good post!!!

I too hope they can make a serious fist of the 5 years ahead and improve all our lives but it'll be no easy task. As you rightly point out,the Country is divided on just about everything!!!

You said there was no alcohol in one of your posts. It is not an obsession. It is a question of how they do not consider other cultures. They wouldn’t ask me if I wanted halal meat or not.

35% of a smaller turnout is hardly a ringing endorsement. Only a large majority because of the vagaries of our election system which leaves the votes of million as irrelevant.

**** me... It's more a question of how far do you want to go with this straw clutching nonsense?

They could if they actually did their job instead of bickering and point scoring like children over irrelevant technicalities and stopped milking the tax payer into their own pockets for every penny they can get their filthy grubby little ****faced hands on.

They are the problem, not us.
