European Islamophobia

[derspiess]

Now that the Islamoids are dead we can go back to pretending they're fringe outliers and go back to fighting Islamophobia.

Yep.  Pretty sure that killed off the last of them.  Nothing else to see here.

Sadly, the end result of this will be Marine Le Pen and Nigel Farage winning elections. The problem of islamisation is a complex one and one requiring measured response, that takes into account our values. But because none of the mainstream parties acknowledges it even exists, people will end up voting for populists.

Well, if I were British, I'd want Poles out too. The only reason I support Poland's membership in the EU is because it drags Poland, kicking and screaming, into Western civilisation. If I were a part of a nation already firmly entrenched in the Western civilisation, I would want these antisemitic Catholic troglodytes out.

Polish women are kind of hot, though.  So there's that.

As you can imagine that would not weigh heavily on my opinion either.

That or he wants glass gauze.

I'd like a glass of Gueuze

You would if you were a hetero Brit

I can imagine myself being a Brit. I can't imagine myself being hetero.

A guy I worked with once had a Polish wife.  Very high maintenance, and not in the cool way.  Couldn't screw in a light bulb.

If only there were some fearless heroes ready and willing to remind us of the existential threat we are facing, and able to prescribe reasonable actions society could take to counter it

Maybe she wasn't small enough to fit inside the light bulb?

This is nonsense. It's exactly the same as the UKIP voter saying 'none of the mainstream parties talk about immigration' or Tamas' 'none of the mainstream parties talk about welfare'. They do. Quite a lot. We used to have Tony Blair as Prime Minister for Christ's sake. They're not necessarily saying what you want but they're hardly ignoring the issue.

Nigel Farage won't win elections, they'll be lucky to get ten seats. Le Pen is more worrying in my view because it's a Presidential vote not 650 little elections. Her most likely opponent, from what I understand, is Sarko who is hardly averse to right-wing populism.

Luckily the two rarely really collide

I want to know why Malthus hates Muslims and French-speakers.  Even I'm not that bad.

Most importantly, how did she look?
