101 Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 James Cleverly needs a Hilton style "Be less gay" T-Shirt to wear to Qatar. This comment is pointless other than to offend, why not tell LGBT people what they can't do in order not to get battered by the local polis, presumably throwing plastic furniture around will be allowed but not rainbow coloured stuff. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWIW, public displays of affection are not allowed regardless of sexuality, so LGBT people should have no real issue in an every day sense. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any re-writing of history or "I was right all along" nonsense is the work of charlatans. Without the vaccine and without the counter measures, many more would have succumbed, perhaps I would have been one. I'd have been furious if that happened. It's been scientifically proved that the long run mortality rate was completely unaffected by lockdowns, it wasn't moved at all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sky fairyism is the belief in a deity as defined by an organised religion. (I’m pleased to help with your P&B education on this point).

Belief is a personal thing and doesn't deserve to be belittled by term which is not even trying to dogwhistle, as you put it. My comment was factually true and was indicative of the fact that the LGBT issue is dominating almost every story needlessly. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My comment was factually true and was indicative of the fact that the LGBT issue is dominating almost every story needlessly. Belief in organised religion is the opposite of logic and deserves to be belittled at every opportunity. As for your second paragraph, yeah the world would be a far better place if all these non heterosexuals would just keep quiet! 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salt n Vinegar Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 12 minutes ago, jimbaxters said: Has he mentioned his religion at any point in this process? If not, what are you on about? No, but commentators certainly have, as well as the showing of the candles at No 11 photo which I had also seen on TV in the past week. It seems important to him. It's only important to me to the extent that he keeps it to himself. If he does, fine by me. People's beliefs are for people to hold and I have absolutely no problem with that. Mrs Salt and Vinegar has different beliefs from me, and we've been together for decades. You'll note that I passed no comment on my own view of his belief system; my comments were on the possible implications of his belief system on public policy, and a sideways dig at a seemingly odd kind of political career "reincarnation". I hope nobody is naive enough to claim that religion/s generally play an unimportant (and in my view unacceptably large) part in UK politics. Bishops in the legislature and the "rather odd" situation whereby our Head of State must also be the Head of a Church (and swear an oath to defend it) demonstrate its perceived importance. The Coronation Oaths are heavy on protecting one religion... "His people" don't get a look in. What an effing stupid country. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starmer should ask Sunak if he supports the caste system or if he is willing to denounce it. Of course Starmer won’t ask that. In fact I wouldn’t be surprised if Starmer supports the caste system.

"When a minister breaches the ministerial code, should they resign and if so for how long?" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
