Starmer's vision quest

Cool list. Mostly made up of Charlie Hebdo victims.

Fundamentalist f*ckwits are gonna do what they're gonna do at the end of the day. Best not to be scared of them really, because that gives them power.

Very true, I just have a little task to do, I will be right behind you 😂

I believe so.

I'm guessing you've brought this up as an example of why we should be scared of criticising/mocking Islam?

Which the teacher didn't so there's that.

No we should take proactive steps to ensure we can criticise any religion without fear.

OK, and what would these proactive steps look like, even vaguely?

Because anyone can criticise religion, and mock it.

Clear legislation that protects free speech.

Clear legislation that protects free speech.

So, this then?

it needs clear definitions protecting anyone. And teeth to bite if anyone does threaten the person slagging off religion/religious views

Religionin all it's forms has caused so many problems.

Religionin all it's forms has caused so many problems.

OK, how do you do that then? Because people are protected under the legislation I linked to.

I don't disagree with your last point.

Religion deserves to be mocked.

Frankie D put it best when he said that we have nothing to fear but fear itself.

It's probably down to actual policing and the leadership failing to call out such behaviour.

These days everyone and anyone can be outraged, complaints fly for silly NCHI.

Tippy toe around the offended. Nobody stands up and if they do often they become the target.

We are in period of social media offending is bigger crime than actual physical crime
