Comment on Britain, Which Birthed American Ideas About Liberty, Has Embraced Despotism
frankPodmore@slrpnk.net 2 months agoSo, you’re saying there was a slight miscarriage of justice which, on appeal, was rectified? I’m sorry there was a problem but, by your own account, it was fixed.
The UK cannot be both Marxist and living under Sharia law; they’re diamatrically opposed. In fact, no where is Sharia law legally imposed, whatever you may have heard.
It is not true that you can’t be ‘proud’ of being ‘English’. There is a St. George’s Day parade in many towns and cities, including London, where it is led by Sadiq Khan, the mayor, who is both proudly Muslim and proudly English. Like most people, he sees no contradiction.
It is not true that talking about Anglo-Saxon culture is considered white supremacy. Schools and universities talk a great deal about figures from Shakespeare to Alan Turing to Millicent Fawcett (I’m picking three examples at random) all of whom were Anglo-Saxon. No one feels the need to point this out, because it would be fucking weird, but like all cultures everywhere, we mostly talk about people from our own culture. The idea this is banned or frowned upon is imaginary.

Slight miscarriage? She was thrown in jail based on no evidence. This 5’2" lady has been beaten and attacked with a knife and no suspects caught, but apparently, a Muslim stealing her Qur’an gets handcuffs on her. She was even told that Muslims are a protected class and she can’t debate them in Speaker’s Corner.

Tom Holland, a writer, and historian of popular history complains as well that he is silenced from talking about English history, instead, he is pressured to talk about the other wonderful cultures as a public figure.
