What on earth are you talking about?
I was referring to Farron's story last night - he was talking about an Asian doctor who was involved in treating the wounded, but was then racially abused after leaving the hospital. Farron was suggesting to Paul Nuttell this was UKIP's fault, as they have demonised immigration. I was saying it was nonsence, as this had nowt to do with UKIP. When an Asian kills 22 people, it's human nature to be angry, and to look for someone to vent your anger on.
It's why I hate Farron so much. If he had been alive in 1939, he would never have fought for this country. He would have been hurriedly learning German, so the Nazis felt welcome on their invasion

What he was saying is that there's a lot of thick people about who don't take much encouragement to get hold of the wrong end of the stick and Nuttall, as a public figure (with a reputation for blaming all social problems on anyone who isn't white-british) has a responsibility to make the effort to understand and clarify the difference between muslims and islamists. They're chalk and cheese as I'm sure you know.
He's not in the pub, he's on the telly, and some people watching don't understand the difference and need a bit more handholding, otherwise they'll get scared, overreact and start attacking people, which won't help. Being a public figure carries a responsibility to inform as well as to entertain, to calm the crowd as well as whip them up. Nuttall really should have learned some of these leadership skills when he was captain of the Titanic.
Sorry, I thought you were saying that it was human nature, and therefore ok, to get angry and attack random people. I'm sure you don't really.

There are currently two seperate Terrorist events ongoing around London Bridge.
I said it before and I will say it again, probably wasn't a good idea to sack 10,000 police officers and 33,000 soldiers. Given the current climate we could do with those patrolling our streets armed and in plain clothes.
If a government cannot protect its citizens then its time they allowed all individuals of good character to protect themselves in such situations. But alas they are not going to allow one to do that, are they.

I am sick of this. It is getting to stage where you cant even walk the streets anymore.
When is someone going to grow some balls and make a real change. For goodness sake, we should be curing diseases, looking after our planet not this crap.
Government its not difficult. Ask for the nation to volunteer to fight against terrorism. Give all Muslims the free opportunity to take lie detector tests. Ban that isis bible. Get the country together. Stick them behind bars and allow them to fight for there freedom. I am not religious one bit but at the end of the day this a country that live on the beliefs based on Christianity...
Look most of us are safe to have a pint and drive... yet the minority have made it bad for us to be allowed to drink and drive.
So why are all Muslims allowed the opportunity to behave in the same way!! At the end of the day someone with islamic beliefs are at risk to become extremist so where are these frickin rules?
Additionally why send all these troops to syria... when there scattered all over the world... take over iraq.. then there in syria.. take over syria they move elsewhere.
We need to take action in countries like Libya, Egypt now. Get a lid on the countries while we can whilst they live in civilisation.. one day it will be too late and it will be simply to unsafe to even leave our country.

Its confirmed people have lost their life... So sad.
Think I might move to Switzerland, 24 firearms per 100 residents. At least they can protect themselves.
I remember the outrage at the time surrounding what the SAS did in Gibraltar, death on the rock. For those that don't know, they basically executed several IRA suspects who they believed were about to set off some bombs. One even had his hands in the air and kneeling down. He was shot to the head.
The time for sitting around a table and holding hands is over.
At the time Maggie said....None of my soldiers will see the inside of a court room. And they didn't.
Time for balls and action.

I was meant to meet an ex from years gone by in London today for the weekend, she's staying in an apartment for a work placement in between London Bridge and Tower Bridge. Didn't happen as I was too late to confirm and she made alternate plans for tonight. Her and her friends are ok, said the sirens and helicopter noise is deafening. I thought I'd had bad dates in the past but that would have topped them all for horribleness.

Sadly, one or more have lost their lives again tonight.
