> An imam appointed by Theresa May to help the government's inquiry into Islamophobia is facing calls to stand down after being accused of questioning free speech.
>
> He is understood to have said that while Muslims “cherish free speech”, there should be exceptions for something that is “distasteful to Muslims or they find it offensive”, particularly where it concerns the prophet Muhammad.

nice bit of doublespeak

so he doesn't cherish free speech

He cherishes free speech he agrees with

Like most Authoritarians

``Maajid believes sentiment like that is part of the problem, saying: "It's almost impossible to escape this problem of being accused of being Islamophobic because you've said something that a religious Muslim deems as blasphemous.

"We must never allow our government to adopt neither the word nor the definition [of Islamophobia] that in any way lends credence to the idea that blasphemy is racist.``

Especially considering Islam isn't a race and hasn't been for the majority of it's history

where the fuck does it end; what's the peak of "revisionism-to-push-back-against-people-being-mean-and-sometimes-they're-just-not-i-just-don't-like-what-they-have-to-say"

...what exactly is the connection between greta thunberg and science

what

Well she claims to have views based in science

That's about it

She claims her statements are backed by data

gotta be honest: https://www.lbc.co.uk/opinion/boris-johnson-bridge-to-ireland-wont-happen/

I'm not happy about this one bit

one must assume this is something to do with keeping ireland and scotland tied to the uk

it is a bold move

and to be honest if we didn't vote the tories in, that money would probably be going to the EU

sure but it still is atm

he did say he would be doing more spending up north

i get the politics involved

I doubt he'd follow through

idk, he's spent some cash on things before

Tories arent world renowned for keeping promises

but he is pm atm with a huge majority

very fair, but they do play politics very well

in terms of the lies they tell

like, they leave good loopholes
