I'm not sure I'd want a lone woman to be amongst that lot!Perhaps if they had just one or two women turning up, amongst the hundreds of angry men, it might be calmer.
The Unite the Kingdom March was just one great big Muslim hate fest. It was disgusting, islamphobic hateful shit which really should have been banned from happening and the fact that no political party or media organisation has condemned it. No real Christian would get up on a stage and say stuff like that and I highly doubt any of those in attendance have ever been in a church unless it was a for Christening, wedding or funeral.If Tommy Robinson instead had said like he did in one interview :
"I will end Judaism. It's time for many Jews to go home. "
Would it be unreasonable for a Jewish person to also feel unsafe?
This isn't just political commentary; it's incitement and call for the destruction of a religion. If Jewish people would be entirely justified in feeling targeted, fearing for their safety, and believing that the state had failed to protect them why would a Muslim not?
One of my best friends who is a Sri lankan GP and Hindu also feels unsafe after the Tommy Robinson march. Will anyone stop to specifically ask if she is even Muslim when she is automatically marked as an "outsider" anyway .
So in the 2 weeks since the election, she's only now realised how much time she'll need to dedicate to her business. Didn't similar happen at another election? With a load of Reform councillors ditching the job?
Yeah that's shit. When it happens so soon after an election they should just give the seat straight to whomever in a different party would have come next. Importantly has to be a different party, which in occasional cases will be enough to change which party is in charge of a council. That ought to make these selection committees and processes take a bit more care and do better vetting of their candidates.
Yeah. I think this is what happens if you are a newer party who hasnt perfected your vetting process or rely on local volunteers to help with organising candidates and party activity in certain areas. It is just so costly to have to have by elections in certain wards because they changed their mind on a whim.Yeah that's shit.

Dont worry bandwagon Burnham with his chippy tits has already set out his first 100 days in charge, so whatever Starmenot has to say is irrelevant.PMQ's
We are back to Starmer quoting '14 years', we have heard it many times before, it is getting tiresome now. What are you doing now Mr Starmer.
Just answer the question, never mind about what has gone before, you cannot change it, just concentrate on what you are going to do in the future.
Burnam going back to the 1980's, Starmer going back to the 2010's, I mean it feels like we are in some kind of TARDIS. Rather than the current Labout drama, we would love to go back so many years but even our great leader cannot reverse time.
Please PM just change your tune, that is if you want to hang onto your job.
...and not a woman in sight.Council meeting going well
Our council has just chosen a new Mayor, a Bangladeshi. We're waiting to see what his chosen charity for his term in office will be.At least there looked to be women in attendance at this meeting.
