You claim that you have spent years abroad in Asia, are widely traveled, and love diversity.....Yet you didn't even know that the holy day of the week for Muslims is Friday?

Of course I know but as you pointed out this place is a community centre. I don't pass it very often and thought it was Saturdays when it looked busy, and that may well still be the case as there are lots of families gathering, but it may well have been on a Friday for their prayers.

It's difficult to take your claims very seriously or view your opinions on morality seriously when you were happy for news of those Islamic rape gangs to be suppressed for your perverse idea of a greater good.....that suppression prevented action.

It seems to me that you find any views that don't chime in line with your own difficult to take seriously. This tendency is highly resonant of your hero in the WH.

This goes along with your selective views on how democracy should work. Where you clearly think the public should be paying the wages of elites to ignore national referendum results......when they were promised that the result would be acted upon.

I won't repeat all the reasons why this view is wrong. Those "elites" by the way are the people voted to represent us and if enough of us don't approve of the job they do then it is entirely in our hands to change them. Not just you and other UKIP types. Us. All of us. No promise can ever be set in stone. If circumstances change then it is the duty of our representatives not to ignore the need to act.

Tell you what....If Corbyn wins the next election....Lets have a vote in the parliament and see if they think they should allow Corbyn to take over or not.

I sincerely hope they do. Labour, just like the Tories, has become a prisoner of it's own activists and no longer represents mainstream opinion.

If they vote no....that's fine, because they don't have to listen to the public if they don't like the result do they.

If a majority of Labour members refused to follow a leader they felt unfit to lead the country then they would be doing their duty. Every leader has to command the support of those whom they lead and cannot be foisted upon them by a wider membership. Having a Party leader outside of Parliament is different but inside it must be solely for the MPs to choose. I know that isn't how it works now but it surely ought to be.

As an atheist I take very little interest in any religion or religious activity, although I am of course aware that Christians regard Sundays as their holy day and Muslims Fridays. What anyone does inside their halls is of no interest or concern to me unless and until it starts to spread outside.

So....
We remain in the EU like you want, we then vote out MP'S out like you suggest, then.... What?

I don't blame you Wisbech. Your attitude is a symptom of the sense of entitlement society that exists among the middle classes.
People expect to succeed, never back down and get what they 'deserve'.

We don't vote out MPs! We vote in MPs who then use their collective judgement to decide what is our best interests. What they would decide in any given circumstance is unknown and not ours to determine.
