Quote from: Ghoulie on February 22, 2017, 12:14 PM[ -- Islamophobic rant deleted and long snip -- ] Time we sorted the country out and looked after our own first.
"Our own", Ghoulie ? May I ask why ? Why do you believe that "our own" should take precedence, when there are millions and millions of people in the world who are infinitely more worse off than even our poorest citizens. What gives us the right to abrogate our responsibilities for our fellow
citoyens du monde ? This planet is, for the time being at least, the resource pool on which every living creature known to us depends, and its resources must be distributed equitably, not merely according to accident of birth.
P.S.
Quoteextreme unwarranted violence videoed against innocent Brit passers-by from curry house staff.
In all the reports which I have read, both at the time and subsequently, it was the curry house staff
who came to the aid of the Britons who were being attacked, and most definitely not the perpetrators of the attack. I continue to reserve judgement as to whether the Britons were indeed entirely innocent, or whether they had in fact provoked, to some lesser or greater degree, the violence attack to which they were subjected.
