3 million, lol. Ain't no way.

So you hate Muslims, RDU? What is your point here?

I agree it’s not 3 million. I don’t hate Muslims at all. I have a problem with the current British government and their absurd takes on free speech, particularly social media . I have a problem where it’s been considered extremist to fly the British flag . I do have issues that there has been an immigration of Muslims into these large European cities, such as Paris, maybe London, where people don’t even go anymore for safety reasons . That’s a major problem to me. I don’t think it’s unreasonable to see it that way.

Every fkn big city on the planet has neighborhoods you don't go into for crying put loud. This isn't a Muslim thing.

What about our president's attacks on speech?

The danger may be overstated. I believe many people still go to London and Paris with no crime problems. Our cities, on the other hand, can be pretty dodgy.

I understand that. It’s been an issue for a very long time. It’s my understanding that this is mostly a new and growing problem. What are you referring to in terms of Trump? Honest question.

Actually there are quite a few big cities without such neighborhoods, just usually not where there's a sizeable population with few perceived opportunities for advancement.

No argument from me here. I think a lot of the issues that seem to be growing are the rise of areas where Sharia law is or is wanting be enforced. Obviously, I’m not in these European communities, but it doesn’t sound isolated to just larger global cities. I do take issue with that. IMO, we all should .

It's good to be aware of problems and potential problems of course. Assigning root causes and solutions can be tricky though. Are the problems in the UK and France that bad or have they been blown out of proportion?
I'm not all that familiar with the UK these days but I've spent a lot of time in France and while there's tension, race relations are better than they are in the US.
There's no sharia in France by the way and I haven't heard that there's a plausible chance of it. The French are pretty fixated on their laicite. In Britain sharia has no legal authority. So maybe that's not a real issue.

I’m not sure, you hear a lot, you see a lot of videos, but a movement/protest in the size and scope of what’s taking place today is pretty unusual.

Lots of stuff with Trump. For example, the girl his admin detained for saying it's bad to kill babies in an op-ed.

Welp, it is kind of their fault with going along with all of the nonsense the Left spouts.. you have to speak up and say what you feel even if it makes you unpopular or people ridicule you.. who cares

I sometimes wonder if the elections are rigged there. The conservatives might be picking up more votes or winning elections but the government counters are lying about it.

England is also a very classist society.. we have the freedom to move up or down or whatever in societal classes..and they are there.. whereas there England, you pretty much stay where you are born.. I wouldn’t be surprised if the elites control it all behind the scenes

That used to be the case but our advantage there disappeared quite a while back.

Kudos to you for keeping above ground after being made famous for the wrong reasons 🤣

I know 1984 is cliche, but the Chat Control Laws they are proposing sounds like something right out of 1984. Govt scanning of all texts, video, images, files sent. Even encrypted.

It is not cliche. Apparently a lot of politicians in England took 1984 as a guidebook, not a satire.

It is funny to see the the far right from the greatest colonizer of modern history get butthurt about other people living among them.

What's really funny is watching them roll over and letting it happen. At least some of the folks they colonized fought back.
