Ok speaking an as american here I have to ask if Scotland can leave the UK? I mean we had some states trying to leave america a while back and things got bloody. (We should have let them go it turned out)

Can scotland vote to leave? Woulds england go to war with them if they tried? Just an american trying to understand things here.

Shamina Begum's family are now blaming the UK government for failing to stop her going to Syria and for not warning them that she was at risk of being radicalised.

Kind of think her strict muslim upbringing might have been the thing that put her in that position. She has been insisting that she knew what she was doing, that she did the right thing going there and cutting the heads off people is fine.

Still not having any sympathy with her being stuck out there. Its just a shame it was her children who paid the price. Them I do pity.

The info coming out about the Rev Dr Martin Luther King is scary!

I could not agree more with this.

I watched the news for about half an hour yesterday.
Then I went back to not watching the news.

Christ on a cross, man.

Yeah. Sounds like bulls**t.
I don't believe anything I hear and half of what I see.
MLK has been dead for over 50 years. And-all of a sudden-this is coming out now? By what real proof?
Hoover, if he had evidence of that, would have taken him down.
Nonsense. King may have been a horn dog, don't make him a party to gang rape and such just because some guy says it's so.
And if the FBI was beaming in to this-why didn't they stop it? They let this girl get raped?
This is nonsense.
They would have busted his ass in a heart beat. This is bulls**t.

lester1/2jr · June 01, 2019, 11:26:34 AM

rc- thats what doesn't make sense. the idea that people whose goal was to take him down would for some reason not release that stuff

but who knows

It seems to be horse s**t in the same vein as the Amityville house and Chupacabra.
s**t like this pops up just like the old story of the kid who walked out in the snowstorm to a well and got snatched out of thin air. Never happened. That's a story by Ambrose Bierce. (Who did disppear in Mexico!)

That fascist f-ck hooover tried tio get king to kill himself, and it';s been documented.

It's a pity hoover was born in america, he'd have fit much better into nazi germany.

Hoover was a blob of bitter vileness filled with hate, and a lot of his hate was directed at himself. He was part black at a time when thet was effectively a crime in americam and he was "As queer as a 3 dollar bill" to use a phrase of his day. If you look at hoover he made a habit of attacking blacks and gays out of self hatred and as a way of making people believe he couldn't be either one. He backed an insane scheme to identify and "round up" every gay in america called "operation babydoll".

Killdozer happened 15 years ago today in a small town in Colorado. Many people vilified the guy behind it, Marvin Heemeyer; however others have said that he was in the right, me included.

Since trump didn't manage to see any of the protests I thought I'd post this up for anyone who wants to see them.

That bit proved that trump is a delusional narcissistic egomaniac. He literally cannot perceive or accept any reality that goes against his wishes. He sees himself as the center and master of reality. Anything that goes against his view of reality doesn't exist, is fake news, is a conspiracy, etc.

BTW are they done fumigating europe yet?
