There is none so blind as those who will not see. Howard, Granny - you're wasting your breath. Explaining colour to someone blind from birth would prove a whole lot easier.

Thanks Ray, but red rags and all that. My father lost a stripe for insubordination in the army and that's my starting point.

with a rising Islamic population in the UK ? how long do you think we have before, they start calling for some form of Islamic law, to be implemented into UK law??
I can just see you, Mr Weird, voting for the stoning of adulterers wives at Labour party conference?
Taste doesn't really come into it, KB, but I'm not in the habit of defending regimes, whether their law be sacred or profane. As far as Islamic countries are concerned, their forms of government are a matter for their own people, and there are dissidents in all those countries working to change things, just as there are such similar deluded individuals in our own Christian paradise. As for your second question, HM1 answered it.
(btw Given that I'm not a Labour Party member, PA, TU rep, set builder, reporter, mic or camera operator, sound recordist or caterer, I don't see how I'd be at its conference. Perhaps you know something I don't? Do I have I an invite coming?)

People should not forget that many Muslims who come here are moving to escape Islamic law in their own countries, not to promote its adoption here. Yes, there are exceptions and they tend to be the most vocal. Empty vessels and all that.....

23-6-18 another unreported big rally outside number 10 today, and parliament?
left and the right and the police in-between, for the freedom march.
it amazes me that we have the street protest, and rioting all over Europe, and the big paid for media stay silent?? is this the EU superstate they keep trying to sell to us.

All these protest marches, whatever the cause, prove to me is that to many people have far to much time on their hands.

KB is referring to the 'UK Freedom March' which will be wending its merry way from Victoria Station to Parliament from around 1300 hours. It will end in a 'picnic of sorts'. I take this to mean that there'll be a custard pie contest with the anti-Brexit marchers and Eid celebrators in Trafalgar Square, followed by a mass unity hug-in and an orderly dispersal.

Rather unwise of the police to allow two demonstrations on the same day. Doubtless the vast majority on both sides will behave perfectly well but with any large gathering thugs with their own agenda can cause major problems.

the only bit being reported is the remaining side demanding another vote, the counterdemonstration is being suppressed, you have to go facebook live streams to see them .
just like no reporting on the Lewisham parliamentary public meeting that got stopped by thugs
this hasn't been reported on
this meeting got stopped by the police to stop the, for Britain candidate getting into the meeting . just imagine the coverage if Labour or conservative candidates had been set upon by right-wing thugs ?

Breitbart and UKIP daily carried an account of the hustings but the responsible press gave it a miss as it just gives the oxygen of publicity to the lunatic fringe.
I doubt the For Britain candidate would have got much more than her 1. 2% share of the vote if the hustings had gone ahead.

she was a candidate and entitled, by British law to have her say unimpeded.

Tony Robinson, Anna Soubry, Nick Clegg, Caroline Lucas
With this lot and others spouting I am even more certain we need to get out of Europe as soon as possible.

For those on the other march, speeches came from Anne Marie Waters, Gerard Batten and Janice Atkinson, no wonder Farage gives his old party and the new For Britain party a wide berth.

As opposed to being governed by Duncan-Smith, Rees-Mogg and the perpetually mendacious BoJo. Give me strength. Not to mention the sainted Theresa ("a general election would not be in the best interests of the country").
