I mean that headline is highly misleading at best

2018-01-24 12:43:19 UTC  

`In his plea, Nagi admitted he tried to support ISIL by personally traveling to Turkey in an effort to enter Syria and fight on behalf ISIS.`

a fighter is "resources", I'll grant that, but holy shit it's not the first thing that pops into mind when you read the headline

`8 – Opposition Motion by the Independent Group calling for the abandonment of
the planned State Visit by Donald Trump`

2018-01-24 12:49:33 UTC  

`Tower Hamlets is home to one of the country’s most diverse communities.`
...
`Like the neighbouring Royal Borough of Greenwich which formally adopted a similar
motion, this Council notes with shock and alarm the decision by Donald Trump, President
of the United States, to 'retweet' Islamophobic propaganda from the Britain First Twitter
account.`

2018-01-24 12:49:57 UTC  

`The Council notes that Mr Trump needs to understand when the minority fascists calling
themselves β€˜English Defence League (EDL)’ tried to march ...`

`3. However, should the Government still choose to go ahead with State Visit, this
Council makes clear that President Trump would not be welcome in our Borough.`

@Broo TulsiGang 2024 πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ these are your beloved immigrants, running this borough ^

Tower Hamlets, it's probably sharia law

Tower Hamlets has one of the smallest White British populations of any local authority in Britain. No ethnic group forms a majority of the population; a plurality of residents are of White ethnicity (45%) of which 31% are White British. Asians form 41% of the population, of which 32% are Bangladeshi which is the largest ethnic minority in the borough.[46][47] A small proportion are of Black African and Caribbean descent (7%),[46] with Somalis representing the second largest minority ethnic group.[48] Those of mixed ethnic backgrounds form 4%, while other ethnic groups form 2%.[46][48][49] The White British proportion was 31.2% in the 2011 census, falling from 42.9% in 2001.

`"It is the fault of the Africans that they are weak. They have this huge continent," Museveni continued. "If you look at Africa, Africa is 12 times the size of India, in terms of land area, lots of resources, and the population is growing now. Why can't we make Africa strong?"`

`"That's why I love Trump. He's told you he is not your uncle. This is good. For Africans who feel orphaned, sorry. Let's mind our own affairs."`

whoow.

2018-01-24 15:18:11 UTC

Too much of a #shithole to be worth mentioning in the title.

2018-01-24 15:19:24 UTC  

Welp, given that the usual accusation is that Trump hates all African nations, I can see why they did it

2018-01-24 15:20:47 UTC  

the west should take lots of blame on the state of africa today, but it has nothing to do with the period of colonization

2018-01-24 15:21:19 UTC  

1. we give them foreign aid, which just amplifies corruption and has zero benefit in the long term - actually negative effects, not just zero benefit

2018-01-24 15:21:40 UTC  

mmm

2018-01-24 15:21:45 UTC  

2. we take their most disenfranchised people, by allowing them to emigrate - the people who would be agents of change

2018-01-24 15:22:02 UTC  

I tend to look at it as a parent still giving their drug-addicted child money

2018-01-24 15:22:05 UTC  

3. we take their most intelligent people, by allowing them to emigrate

2018-01-24 15:22:14 UTC  

you're not actually *helping* them by doing that

2018-01-24 15:23:02 UTC  

the points I make above are proven, this is not nonsense, and yet every year people donate billions to foreign aid, and the only positive effect of it is that you feel like a good person for a few hours

I always thought those adverts on TV asking me to donate were WRONG

2018-01-24 15:23:09 UTC  

and can brag about it at parties later
