Culture is "that complex whole which includes knowledge, belief, art, morals, law, custom, and any other capabilities and habits acquired by man as a member of society." - Edward B. Tylor (1871)
By definition, multiculturalism won't work.
Diversity is not our strength.
Those radicalising these attackers must be held accountable, regardless of the religion or ideological leaning. This goes for Islamist, far right & trans extremism alike.
Nobody gets radicalised in a vacuum.
Gov't should be required to use a balanced scorecard to evaluate annual performance like private companies.
If the manifesto's 5 key points are not progressing, cancelled or reversed, a GE would be automatically triggered.
Expensive yes, but that's the price of democracy.
@cultfree54 Tom, @proper_memes tried to reply with that comment, but you've appeared to have blocked him and he says he checked & hasn't had any interaction with you. You two are clearly on the same page, so he was wondering why the block?
How to deal with countries not accepting deportees (order of severity):
1. Stop issuing visas
2. Mandatory visas
3. Decline visas
4. Stop aid
5. Put up tariffs
6. Stop trade
Do not send them money. More stick, less carrot.
Tony Blair wants to 'curb hatred'. It's a very stupid comment. I hate racism. Should that be curbed? People need to have a right to hate things.
We already have laws against incitement/violence based on 'hate crimes'.
@TiceRichard Ed Miliband's decision to revoke North Sea oil & gas licences and new nuclear plant developments is a violation against the European Human Rights Act, Protocol 1, Article 1 as excessive energy prices would restrict enjoyment of private property.
Who will sue him first?

The state wants 100% transparency in our personal finances in order to tax us, but won't provide 100% transparency how they spend our hard earned money. The state is financed by & works for us, not the other way around. We need full access to state spending!
@FUDdaily Filing taxes as an entrepreneur is too complicated.
We'd free/affordable billing/accounting/tax filing system for small businesses. There are some but good ones cost £20-30/mo & the cheap ones don't do much.
Integrated tax filing would solve this & reduce HMRC personnel.
Put solar panels on top of car parks, industrial building, agricultural buildings and domestic housing. Community solar small communities.
Save arable land for agriculture & wilderness for nature reserves & recreation.
@FUDdaily The tax code needs to be simplified massively. This would reduce the need for such a large HMRC personnel.
We could have more tax brackets to minimise fiscal drag effect on low income people & encourage work instead of benefits.
0% up to £12k, 10% up to £24k, 20% up to £48k etc
The method of testing the waters of new policies by leaking bits prior announcements allowing changes to be made when backlash occurs started by the Tories is just a dreadful way to manage the country. Shows gov't doesn't have a clear (popular) vision.

I'm hearing from multiple sources outside UK that the government is destroying the UK's credibility. Leaking of budget proposals is causing anyone with movable wealth to leave the country or take avoiding action. Economic disaster looms.
Is Guardian now turning the tide by calling the working class as the new oppressed? Could a single, white working class lad without much education be on the top of the victimhood pyramid?
Interesting, if true.
