    Far more reasonable a point than your last reply to me :emoticon-0148-yes:

    Simple intolerance will just ramp up the issues

    We have to win over people by giving them better opportunities and therefore reducing extremism

    But liberal democracies still have laws that must be implemented and respected

    There will always be criminals but we can minimise or maximise the numbers by our policies to deal with (sorry about this phrase) crime and the causes of crime

    I'm fiercely atheist but I don't allow my atheism to get in the way of other people's right to a life with a made up man in the sky. People who have a made up man in the sky who think their man in the sky justifies gender inequality, homophobia or persecuting people with different belief sets can take a long walk off a short holy book.

    Fun fact ( that I haven’t checked but it was originally posted by a political journalist).
    Bromley will be the only team, in the top four tiers, playing their home games at a stadium in a Tory constituency.

    Absolutely, there are issues and these lead some to more radical views, and that includes Reform voters
    There are issues that disenfranchise people for various reasons, not just religion and ethnicity, but class as well
    We have to realise that some bigots are just bigotted, but some are just looking for someone to blame for the **** they can't get out of themselves
    Give them a way out and maybe they won't feel they need to do this anymore

    Following Archers comment "By which I mean both marginalised and left behind British communities, and insular immigrant communities"
    We need to engage with the positive elements in these communities to give them a stake in society and thereby increase moderation and decrease radicalisation

    Of course, but some man in the sky believers don't hold these beliefs and some non believers do
    They're all accountable when they act on these beliefs publicly

    Have you been to Birmingham / luton / Bradford or anywhere in the country that has been the victim of these globalist policies?

    They are absolutely ****ed.

    You seem to want to pretend that there is no issue. But there are thousands of people who will vote for pro Hamas & pro Islam MPs.

    Your liberal atheist views are leading towards a MORE religious country, not less.

    It’s just the main religion will be less tolerant.

    There seems to be an outbreak of competence and common sense amongst the incoming government round pegs in round holes. It's almost as though some thorough planning had been done.
