    The solution to ISIS is definitely to offer them all mental health treatment. Imo.

    There actually is a serious issue underlieing this twat of a comedian's misdirected rant.

    And that is the MASSIVE problem of mental health of refugees fleeing Syria and other war zones.

    It is completely unmanagable though.

    Im not saying this because of who posted the clip : the bloke is a ****ing twat. The whole thing with comedy is that if youre goig to rip the piss out of something, what you are saying needs to be vaguely true. Ive now seen two of his rants. I cant even remember what the other one was, but in both of them, the basic premise of his rant was TOTAL bollocks.

    This is not to cause an argument but genuine understanding of reasoning, why do you think the comedian is talking total bollocks?

    On the run up to the Brexit vote back in June, the media or certainly SKY were running ISIS news stories nearly every hour of the day for months on end. That's not denying there is not terrorism quite the contrary but it's how the news is constantly put out there, as if nothing else important was happening in the world itself.

    Prior to this incidents in the UK and abroad were treated on the basis of not citing any religion or the origins of an individual, then it started to become an obsession with the news outlets. Some people are genuinely mentally ill, it is well known for any major incident, there will be copy cat incidents, such as mass murderers, where some mentally ill person will claim to have done it to seek attention. Let alone why are we giving any terrorists the notoriety they so seek, in turn opening a whole can of worms.

    Then the weeks up to post-brexit it was as though ISIS and terrorism suddenly disappeared from our screens. We seem to think propaganda only exists in dictatorship countries, but we only have to look back to Iraq, Blair and Bush to know to the contrary. Also it should be noted that not only did terrorism disappear from our screens but also the immigration crisis, now i wonder what camp that ideal suited, surely not the same camp that thought they had staying in the EU in the bag and didn't want the media scaring the gullible social media driven population.

    And to be honest mental health in this country is a complete and utter mess and unsupported to a great degree, and I personally have been witness to that and a person losing their life as a result, it mattered not then whether he was Muslim or just simply a white Christian born in the UK with a mental illness.

    Care in the community, yeah right, drop by the City of London sometime, you will see the care in community for your very own eyes.

    So point being it is not total bollocks what the comedian says, not that I am pledging any support for him, just saying there are some very much ignored truths in his script. Not every incident is a terrorist incident but you would never have thought that by some of the bias reporting creating a state of panic.

    It's been two years since the kidnap of the Chibok children, so what have governments done to help them, **** all, fighting terrorism my arse, it's all about control through fear.

    The comedian failed to be funny because most of the nut jobs killing people in the name of God are not only mental they are also brown and Muslim.
    No amount of money ploughed into mental health would stop your towel head/coon wanting to rob stab shoot or blow up people/whitey.

    I think you should have taken the trouble to read my post #TLDR

    It's not about what terrorists do or don't do, it's about the take that the media likes to constantly portray. I can only guess by the nature of reply you would make a good Trump supporter, you ought to sign up for the Murdoch Empire as a journalist.
