    I imagine they are getting bored with the West Bank and Gaza. Looking for new, safer expansion zones!

    Anyone else catch this report on C4 news? <doh>:emoticon-0183-swear
    Home Office is either incompetent on a grotesque scale, or the current Government is happily pursuing the racist Tory Hostile Environment policies. Probably a combination of the two, but you have to wonder what was the point of the '24 election!

    What have we become that we prosecute people for terrorism when they stand up against genocide?

    We have been a colonial power for 400 years it's just more obvious because of the internet

    I drove through a local estate yesterday, at one point I thought I had been transported to the 1970s Shankill road

    I was amused by the story of the thick right wing idiot who attempted to paint an English flag on a roundabout, but the result was a Danish flag! <doh>
    The Vikings are returning?

    These are very disturbing times; we fought wars against fascism. The Nazis demonised the Jews through unfair and inaccurate propaganda to the point where ordinary, normally reasonable Germans reviled them - without knowing why, but simply referring to “The Jews” provoked immediate reactions of revulsion.

    There are examples here too - not least in East London in the late 19th/early 20th centuries when Jewish immigration was blamed through propaganda for the extreme poverty suffered by the indigenous population. It was an easy excuse for government for its own failures.

    Now we see similar behaviour here towards “Asylum Seekers” despite this being a very diverse group of people from many different places, the majority of whom have very legitimate reasons for seeking asylum. These people aren’t the problem; the government’s failure to implement a proper system for dealing with asylum claims is. Yet another casualty of the Tory cuts to all public services. If you don’t fund them, they won’t work.

    I can’t believe that so many are so willing to believe everything they read and hear and how easily manipulated they are. Or how weak our government is in doing nothing meaningful to address the issue.

    However sophisticated our world becomes through technological advancement, the nature of people doesn’t seem to change.

    Always worth remembering that there's been over a century's worth of debate about a piece of graffiti about whether Jack the Ripper painted it or just happened to be some antisemitic graffiti that happened to be at one of the crime scenes

    Although based on the current prime candidate, that skews towards coincidence
