She is a Catholic

Widdecome converted in 93 after the Anglican church began allowing woman priests.

All that shows is that religion has nothing really to do with her views. She's just an obnoxious cunt with a list of undesirables based on her own prejudices.

But then most obnoxious cunts tend to have a list of undesirables based on their own prejudices.

Why would anyone try to answer this ridiculous question? They're not cattle, they're individuals Each with their own qualities and faults, like the rest of us. What "social value" do you think you offer to this country? Fück all from what I can see.

Yes

Oh now you are switching to Ireland v Saudi Arabia?

Its like the World Cup in here tonight

Yep xenophobes

So much of what you said tonight is xenophobic.

But now we get to the truth of the matter which I have commented on more than once here already. You actually believe you have an audience out there. You truly believe that by keeping this thread live that you are speaking to some vast silent majority out there and are spreading the GB gospel according to his Farage.

Honestly kid nobody outside of the few of us her making fun of you are listening to a word you are saying

The switch in platform has really done Boards huge harm. This thread and it's troll have taken the very basic rules of this forum apart with utter contempt tbh. Moderators and by extension moderator intervention on some fora seems to have been abandoned. Be it they are yet to get grips with the new mod tools? Or the preponderance of issues has led to a falling down moment of clarity and the need for a break 😉

The rules of the forum are simple but absolute.

1. We have one guiding principle: Don't be a dick.

2. Do not post any material that you know or should know is hateful, abusive, harassing, false and/or defamatory, inaccurate, vulgar, obscene, profane, threatening, invasive of a person's privacy, or illegal.

3. You are free to express your views in a forceful manner provided you remain civil. Hate speech, insults, and purposely inflammatory remarks (i.e., trolling) will not be tolerated. Do not post threats or state or imply that any individual or group is deserving of harm. If we tell you to refrain from behaviour that we regard as uncivil, or that in our view detracts from a productive discussion, do so or face revocation of your posting privileges.

Yet over the course of this thread we have constant bad faith arguments, near zero rebuttal and outright ignoring of requests for same and Christ forbid someone seeks evidence for a nonsensical number. To engaging in outright racism on multiple occasions without sanction, in the guise of thought experiment or opinion. It's not so long ago that generalisations and stereotyping were non gratia here. Perhaps a return to those simple, common sense and maybe even conservative rules are in order?

It might not be quite the 19th century, or even the warm embrace of a Cromby,but, surely actual discussion can be had without the hyperbolic, racist and dog whistling bullshit that has permeated much of this thread?

There is a difference between a government and its people. The UK has had immigration from the Middle East for decades and gay marriage is still legal there. Never mind execution for it. So obviously implementing horrific laws and allowing immigration are very different things and equating them is just an excuse for hatred.

I would also add that I would be more inclined to support anti immigration policies on the basis of women's /lgbt rights if the same people were also in favour of kicking the likes of David Quinn and Anne Widdecombe out as well since they tend to have similar issues. However as is it seems inconsistent to support those getting media and yet banning those abroad for their view points.

"How can anyone complain about xenophobia by wanting to stop the spread of these ideas into our countries?"

When was the last time someone was stoned to death or had a hand chopped off in your country?

"Sharia law, such as that imposed by Saudi Arabia and Somalia, is routinely used to stone people and chop off hands. Often, there's an audience."

And? Different countries have different laws, that doesn't mean there will be public beheading on Grafton Street.

As for your idiotic 1.5 million number, it's probably going to be closer to 15 people, you don't know these people you don't know thier beliefs or why they have left thier country. They could be leaving BECAUSE of the laws in thier country, they could be afraid that they themselves may end up (literally) on the chopping block.

But you don't look at this, you tar all 15.4 million Somalians with the same brush.

The US has a higher rate of death sentences than Somalia, They also have a higher murder rate. Maybe we should stop them from coming over bringing thier views with them.

Lol at invasion. How can anyone take this seriously. People want to say that there are valid arguments for various immigration policies then fine but don't get annoyed at people not listening to "perfectly valid" arguments when you are going to spread around tweets talking about an invasion. How many guns, how much military training is in that group of migrants. Invasion is a term used to evoke feelings of a military take over and is ridiculous hyperbole. If you want others to have respect for your arguments then at least have respect for your own because this just makes it look utterly ridiculous. Trump used the same techniques as opposed to just talking about the numbers he called it an invasion. If you want to know why people laugh at Farage and his utter nonsense this is a good example. If he wanted to talk about the migration issue in a logical manner he wouldn't have gone with invasion but he would lose that argument so goes tries to endear feelings of people coming here and taking over because it is all he has.

As for Danish plumbers being more likely to have more progressive views than Somalian plumbers you got very annoyed at conservatives being painted with that same brush so tough.
