Erdogan Fans Fight For Seats In French Parliament!

I gather meddling in French elections is not the monopoly of Merkel and Juncker.

The Turkısh Muslım Equalıty and Justıce Party, founded ın January 2015 and maınly consıstıng of young ımmıgrants, wıll partıcıpate ın France’s June parlıamentary electıons.

Interesting, that anews.com, of which even a moment’s inspection makes clear is a willing mouth-piece for Erdogan and his regime’s approach to the world outside Turkey, at once identifies the Parti Egalite Justice for what it truly represents.

In contrast, the PEJ leadership is quick to deny  – the prıncıpal aım of the party ıs to combat ınequalıty and ınjustıce. 
Leader Çolak also added that the exıstıng polıtıcal system ın France does not approve of dıfference and thus ıt became necessary to found a new party that accepted and promoted dıversıty.

Aaah, ‘diversity,’ that dagger aimed at the heart of France, the ideology which invites, no, demands the retention of alien cultures and customs by aliens who arrive in France.

No matter it’s their clear duty to become French and leave alien ways back where they belong, in their alien former countries.

It took a visit to a French site –  http://www.voltairenet.org/article196262.html  – to learn more of this party, most importantly that the PEJ does not make any reference to Turkey, but all its leaders are of Turkish origin and are dual citizens of France and Turkey.

They’re also clever.

Get this sophisticated word-play! 

The PEJ denounces “refusing cultural differences to prevail”, “passing judgment over an individual’s convictions” and “disparaging others without basis..”.

So while it does not specifically endorse backward and inquitous shariah, it implicitly does denounce civilised people who openly abhor any shariah-allegiant individual’s convictions…”

=

=

How dare decent French folk denounce caliphate curs who think women may not receive a fair share of inheritances, or may not enjoy the same rights as men to go out and about with their heads uncovered.

At least anews.com is admirably candid when it mentions the response among French patriots. 

The party has been confronted wıth accusatıons of beıng Turkey’s “arm” ın France sınce ıt was founded….

Aaah, yes, Turkey!

–

 “The mosques are our barracks, the domes our helmets, the minarets our bayonets and the faithful our soldiers.”

………

“Holy wars will soon begin in Europe,” Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu declared…

 —

Is the PEJ telling normal human beings they may not disparage pig-ignoramus ‘individual’s convictions” which hold that men may have up to four spouses while women must be content with only one?

=

=

Or that ‘blasphemers’ and ‘apostates’ deserve physical injury or death?

=

=

Sorry, ‘immigrants’ to France who cling to Turkish citizenship…

….if benighted sectarianism, Erdogan-style, is among the ‘cultural differences’ which must prevail despite their refusal by real French people, then get ready for a powerful reaction all across La Belle France!

La Resistance is ready. 

Marine’s patriot party is also contesting those legislative elections.   

BBC’s Bitter Bias – A Megaphone For Left-Bigot Smears!

Noonday in Jakarta, and, fed up with France24, I switched channels just to see how biased the BBC could be in its coverage of Muppet Macron’s win – The Fall Of France? Mais Non! Vive La Resistance! – on which we reported last night.

Sure enough,some Beeb bint was on the screen, ‘interviewing’ two foreign journos.

Fair enough, you think, one from each side?

=

=

C’mon, this is the BBC!

We had to listen to vicious vapouring from both of them, one being the infamous Nabila Ramdani, who a while ago revealed her true colours after Islamist savages descended on their Charlie Hebdo victims.

Ramdani is, according to wikipedia, a French freelance journalist of Algerian descent who specialises in Anglo-French issues, Islamic affairs, and the Arab World.   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nabila_Ramdani

================

We actually had a go at her back in January 2015 –

Nasty Nabila, BBC’s Shariah Star, On Charlie’s ‘Consequences!’ 

———–

After the Islamist atrocity in Paris, she talked rot on the BBC, totally offensive merde about how the ‘blasphemous’ cover of Charlie Hebdo was some sort of misuse of free speech.

Like so many liberals, she disowned the murder tactics but made it very plain she reckons a free press should be unfree when it might upset fanatics.

=

=

Watch and listen for yourselves – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dAEBSrFeG6c

And who was standing there beside her but a German, Stefan Simons, of Der Spiegel, equally eager to purvey nasty anti-Marine prejudice, who ended his obnoxious in-put by saying that the patriot party candidate reflected harking back his own country’s Hitler era!

————-

Stefan Simons

=

I’ve not changed channels again, waiting to see if the BBC might display even fragmentary commitment to fair play, but no chance!

=

.

Simons is back on, and some dork called Hugh Schofield.

Who’s he, this geezer yapping about Muppet Macron’s ‘charm?’

The BBC’s Paris correspondent – being interviewed by the BBC!

Hurray, Helvetia – Swiss OK With Insults To Erdogan!

Just got back from a walkabout, feeling slightly sorry for President Donald Trump, who is having to spend a great deal of time in the undoubtedly disagreeable company of the Bitch of Berlin this weekend.

=

=

I wonder if she’ll lecture him on his legal ‘obligation’ to import crimmigrants, after her own irresponsible admission of around a million with no regard for German visa regulations.  New Book Exposes Merkel As More Coward Than Traitor!  

On another ‘enemy alien’ issue, given Americans’ constitutional right to free speech,  one hopes she won’t seek to persuade him to follow her craven example on censorship.  

Zoology Shocker- A Bitch Can Get Lower Than A Snake’s Belly! 

And THAT leads me onto today’s ‘reasons to be cheerful’ headline….

…

stamp-collectors will know that ‘Helvetia’ is the agreed name of multilingual Switzerland

——–

…how the relatively small Swiss Confederation has been showing so much more true grit than the forsworn leader of their mighty German neighbour!

 The Swiss justice office has refused four requests by Turkey for judicial cooperation over comments posted on social media platforms about President Recep Tayyip Erdogan that he deemed offensive.    

https://www.thelocal.ch/20170317/free-speech-justifies-insults-about-turkish-president-says-switzerland

Most of us are sick and tired of the intolerant whining of one ignorant Islamist after another about how ‘offended’ they get when civilised people write or draw or say things that aren’t permissible under their backward codes. 

=

oooooooooooooooooooooooo

• Sure, they can belly-ache as much as they like, but when they set out to intimidate, they need to be slapped down HARD!
• ======
• No doubt you were no more aware than I was that the sectarian regime in Ankara has been demanding that Switzerland pursue critics who had ‘insulted’ Erdogan.
• Heck, that man deserves a lot more four little insults – I’m sure our modest blog has long since passed that total!
• But whatever – the Head of Information at the Swiss Justice Office, Folco Galli, neatly put the Turks in their place, saying that Switzerland would only be obliged to cooperate if the act concerned was considered a crime in both Turkey and Switzerland!

–

–

Eminently fair comment, and better still that Signor Galli spelt out the difference between what happens in European democracies and wannabe caliphates.

 “If similar criticisms had been expressed in Switzerland against a federal councillor in the course of a political debate, they would of course have been tolerated as an expression of free speech.”

 

Of course Erdogan is upset.

The viper can dish it out – as when he called the Dutch of being ‘Nazis’ last week.

Turkey Sat Out WW2, Now Slanders Dutch Who Fought! 

But he cannot take it, which is why he’s used what passes for ‘law’ in Turkey against some 2,000 people for supposedly insulting Erdogan through words or cartoons…

 

And please note, it’s not just insults which the Ankara Ass seeks to suppress in other countries’ media. 

……..

‘Don’t you DARE insult me!’

….. 

When Blick published an opinion piece urging Turks to vote NO in Erdolf’s forthcoming referendum, Turkish authorities said the article was “offensive” towards Erdogan and called for Blick to “make amends for the lack of respect shown to our president.”

AMENDS?

……….

Here’s the proper response to such arrogance –

Hollande’s Hogwash – Senility Or Just Plain Mendacity?

So Francois Hollande has ‘hit back at Donald Trump after the US president criticised France’ according to The Leftal, sorry Local, this week.

 …

…

“It is never good to show the slightest mistrust towards a friendly country,” Hollande said.

“That is not what I do toward a friendly country and I ask the American president not to do it to France…“

http://www.thelocal.fr/20170225/hollande-hit-backs-at-trump-over-paris-criticism

……….

After Hollande’s crass ill-manners and ill-concealed attempt to intrude during the US presidential campaign…

————-

“His excesses make you want to retch,” Hollande said. … But now Hollande has indirectly urged Americans to vote against Trump.https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/worldviews/wp/2016/11/08/hollande-urges-americans-to-vote-for-their-principles-wonder-what-that-means/

…………………

… Trump should feel free to say what he wants.

0000000000000000000

And what DID he say, anyway?

”Take a look at what’s happened in France. Take a look at Nice and Paris,”

 ======= 

Hollande actually conceded there is a problem, the danger of Islamist terrorism, by telling Americans it’s still okay to take a holiday in France, because his hard-pressed law enforcement personnel are  making “a considerable effort to ensure security.”

 ……………..

But then he talks nonsense, perhpas a sign of senile dementia, brought on prematurely by the realisation that he’s abhorred by so many French voters that he’s had to drop all dreams of running for another term..

François Hollande becomes most unpopular French president ever

…or else he is consciously lying his head off!

Get this whopper!

“…I don’t want to make a comparison, but there are no weapons circulating here, there are no people who take weapons to shoot into the crowd.”

..

..

What a callous swine, Hollande, to have already forgotten the reality of Bataclan, or, more likely, desperate to sweep his appeasement policies – his failure to deport the Calais crimmigrants, his buckling to Mama Stasi Merkel’s diktat that he admit thousands more so-called ‘refugees’ into France-  under the carpet, as if there’s a single soul in all of France…

…..

…

…likely to forget the terrifying moment gunmen armed with Kalashnikov rifles stormed a packed concert hall in Paris, leaving at least 89 people dead.  http://www.express.co.uk/news/world/619530/Paris-terror-attacks-video-ISIS-gunmen-start-firing-Bataclan-siege

Or indeed the cowardly jihadist swine who massacred those defenceless men at Charlie Hebdo.

If it had been true that there were no weapons circulating

in Paris, or France, all those martyrs murdered by satanic sectarians would be alive today.

Mais oui! 

Terror Fan Un-Deported – Danes Show No More Sense Than Norway!

A 25-year-old Iraqi man was sentenced to three months in prison on Wednesday for taking to Facebook to cheer the terror attack at French magazine Charlie Hebdo.

• https://www.thelocal.dk/20161025/iraqi-gets-conditional-deportation-from-denmark-over-facebook-post 

What a pitiful, pathetic response!

THREE MONTHS!?!

Better to string the sectarian swine up, or at least kick the cur out of Denmark, preferably to some country that  would have him put down. Sounds like they’re no more into handling terror fans than their neighbours in Norway!

———

https://rossrightangle.wordpress.com/2016/10/26/cmon-norway-send-satanic-sectarian-krekar-to-his-death/

—————

It’s almost laughable to read that the Copenhagen City Court also sentenced the man to conditional deportation, which means he will be kicked out of Denmark if he commits any new crimes. 

–

–

Pathetic Plus-Plus! 

 

Can’t blame the prosecutors, who wanted five months behind bars, then actual deportation.

 

–

–

The man posted a link to a story on the Paris attack accompanied by a smiley face and comments in Arabic that said God deserved the honour for the killings. 

What can such a fiendish freak know of God?  

—————

Seems to me that, apart from being a bestial barbarian, this Iraqi is guilty of ‘Islamophobia.’

———————

–

Not that there should ever be an offence of that nature on any country’s statute book – people should be free to offend any creed – but decent Muslims should be out there demanding he suffer for bringing Islam into disrepute.

————–

———-

The weak-kneed judiciary deserves all the more public condemnation when we learn that he had been sentenced last year for threatening to decapitate the chairman of the Danish Syrian Association.

Aha! A wannabe beheader!

We have more than enough of such pig-ignoramuses in too many previously civilised Western countries already.

———-

———–

They need to be expelled en masse.

—————

The vile savage is appealing his sentence.

I don’t know enough about Danish law to be sure if the appeal court can raise as well as lower sentences, but I hope so.

And I hope this brute does get ordered out of Denmark, and preferably sooner than it took Norway to expel the equally evil Krekar.

 

The MUI – Belligerence Is Bad News!

The MUI (Indonesian Ulema Council) has a Religious Harmony Council.

——————————————

• 

• ———————————
• I know this because its top man, Yusuf Yusnar, is in the news deploring the cover of the special anniversary issue of  Charlie Hebdo. It has on its cover, so I’m told, God, as an old man carrying weapons and covered in blood.

I dare say this is offensive to many people of all religions.

Equally offensive to many people of all religions, and of none, is the photo of the Hizbut Tahrir bigot gang’s protest posters, which whine about ‘insults to the prophet being the shape of democratic freedoms.’

You can see those via the link, but here’s another one from a while ago…

ooooooooooooooooo

“Charlie Hebdo, Proof of the Rotten-ness of Democracy”

———————

…But it’s Yusnar’s take on religion in Indonesia that captivates me. The Hebdo   charges were reckoned to generalize Islam as belligerent and not liking peace. 

Yusnar argues that it’s not like that in Indonesia.

Harmony, he said, can be established, even with people of different beliefs….

“Yes, of course Charlie Hebdo cannot not generalize that all religious life leads to violence,” he said.

http://nasional.republika.co.id/berita/nasional/umum/16/01/07/o0kvse330-mui-protes-sampul-edisi-khusus-charlie-hebdo

Well, they can, rightly or wrongly. That’s press freedom, whether the MUI likes it or not.

Not, would be the answer, because they have a foul record on censorship – Nazi-style book-burning, actually, committed in consort with the twerps who run Gramedia, one of the largest publishing companies here, which owns many media, including the pretend-pluralist Jakarta Post.

Gramedia’s Hitlerian book-burning

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

For sure, all religious life does not lead to violence. But forgive me if I look askance at the Republika page. 

Or rather at the MUI.

Have they expelled hateful fanatics like Al Khatthath who wanted an innocent atheist executed? https://rossrightangle.wordpress.com/2012/06/15/another-nail-in-freedoms-coffin-indonesian-atheist-jailed-for-blasphemy/

Have they given up setting the cops on religious dissenters?

• =======================

Or denouncing the inoffensive Ahmadiyah as ‘heretics?

———

——-

Have they condemned, or at least disowned, ignorant savages who think ‘apostates’ and ‘blasphemers’ should be put to death?

Most Muslims here in Indonesia, most Indonesians of all creeds, are decent folk, who find such conduct as unpleasant as I do. They don’t exhibit belligerence, except maybe when crowding aboard public transport! 

But the belligerence which emanates from leading figures in the MUI?

Islamist ‘Scholars’ – “Atheists Get Out of Indonesia!” 

Jakarta Islamist ‘Scholars’ – Adultery, Co-Habiting? Stoning and Whipping! 

 Islamist ‘Scholars’ – “Don’t Complain if You’re Attacked!” 

Enough to enliven a hundred Charlie Hebdo covers! 

Gobble-De-Gook Appeasement Monkeys Diss Hebdo Award

It’s always unfair to blame people who back away from danger. We never know how we’ll react to perilous situations.

================================

• So if some writers preferred to stay away from the PEN Charlie Hebdo ceremony, okay, up to them. Some savages might have attacked it, as did those two unlamented scumbags who attacked that event in Dallas.

They got what was coming to them, but the forces of good can’t always be guaranteed to take out sectarian swine before they do serious damage.

But these poncey  twits boycotting the Hebdo event are NOT doing so out of physical fear. They’re doing so because they operate in a moral vacuum.

• When I read that insufferably inarticulate guff (which I assume means ‘we mustn’t upset the tantrum brats‘) I gave thanks to God that I’d never read ANY of the books they’ve apparently written.

In truth, I’ve never even heard of some of them – Junot Diaz ( wasn’t till I found the photo that  I learned it wasn’t a chick!)……Lorrie Moore – WHO?…Joyce Carol Oates – WHO?…. Eric Bogosian and Michael Cunningham?…WHO?

Have any of them sold as many books as successful writers, like Stephen King, or the guys who wrote the Alex Cross detective stories, or the James Bond spy stories. or even Jeffrey Archer, whom I don’t much like, or even those romantic Sheldon paperbacks my ex back in the Old Country used to like so much?

Probably not, because after all..best-sellers surely need  elements that must be recognized in considering almost any form of discourse…

 

 

 

 

Where Were Sunday’s ‘British’ Thousands When Jordan’s Pilot Burned?

One of the few positive things to arise from the horror of last week’s Middle East news was the opportunity it gave some of us to hammer home the point that the young man so monstrously murdered by ISIS, Muath, was, like many of my friends here, a Muslim.

He became a hero to millions.

His martyrdom by satanic jihadists should have been a salutory lesson for some Facebook commenters who consistently use abusive words ( ‘muzzie’ being the most polite) to describe Muslims, that many, very many, Muslims share my detestation of the primitive nonsense, the sexism and intolerance we hear from too many of their clerics.

But then, just when we were thinking that message might have got across to those that need it…

–

–

…this! 

Thousands of British Muslims protested against cartoons of Mohammed in French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo…

The crowd marched to Downing Street holding signs reading “Charlie and the abuse factory”, “We love Prophet Muhammad more than our lives”, and “To insult is not freedom”.

Speakers addressed the protest and held communal prayers, before representatives delivered a petition signed by over 100,000 British Muslims to Cameron’s office.

https://uk.news.yahoo.com/

So one Sunday morning’s jolly outing, showing open abhorrence of the freedoms Britain has long championed, showing how little they have adapted to the country that took them or their parents in, has probably undone whatever hopes might have emerged from the horror.

And how many Britons today must be asking, as I am, where were those thousands when the video of that innocent Muslim man burnt alive was spread across the internet by the ISIS rape-gang?

–

–

Where were they, in their self-righteous, censorious thousands?

No thousands out on the streets condemning jihadist rape, murder, terror?

No 100,000 signatures demanding the UK respond in the right and proper manner, as Jordanians have done, execution of terrorists already captured, extra effort put into military action against the vermin?

‘Revenge for Muath’: Jordan Unleashes 56 Airstrikes …

Do those thousands on Downing Street yesterday, those hundred thousand whose names are on that petition, really lack any understanding of the Western democracy whose freedom of expression they themselves practiced yesterday?

Do they really want to live in a country with mediaeval blasphemy laws?

Then they are perfectly free to get the hell out of the UK and find a cosy corner in some region of the world where such nonsense prevails. 

Je Suis Pravda? BBC Won’t Call Paris Savages ‘Terrorists!’

No partying last night, but nevertheless entitled to feel grumpy this morning, despite a bright day outside and birds singing in the little park across the road.

Why?

Paris attacks: Do not call Charlie Hebdo killers ‘terrorists’, BBC says

And this man…

 Kafala

—-

Tarik Kafala, the head of BBC Arabic, so we hear, is not some maverick out to insult the British people who pay his undoubtedly huge salary, but is simply complying with the BBC’s editorial guidelines on reporting terrorism!

So it’s not good enough just to demand his dismissal.

He has the right to blot out the truth in his private conversations and even to go onto a talk-show and spew the disgusting drivel that the term “terrorist” was too “loaded” to describe the actions of the men who killed 12 people in the attack on the French satirical magazine.

But NOT when he’s on the public pay-roll!

The BBC is out of control, irresponsible to anyone except itself. Which is fine for the Independent, or the Guardian, whose editors are paid by businessmen or share-holders who own those papers.

The BBC should represent the nation.

–

 Broadcasting House, HQ of Pravda UK

–

Mrs. Thatcher should have rooted out the enemy within Broadcasting House when they declared their neutrality in the Falklands War.

She missed that golden opportunity, and her successor in Downing Street is infinitely more unlikely to act the way any patriot should.

UKIP should make the BBC’s subversive role a key issue in the coming election campaign.

–

–

The establishment parties in Britain, just as in Australia, and Canada, are too wedded to the concept of a state media to tackle Pravda UK, even when it has become so crystal clear that Pravda UK’s fretfulness over the risk that the word ‘terrorist’ might raise doubts about our impartiality – underlines that Pravda UK’s allegiance is NOT to that state.

Australian of the Year? Morrison’s a Better Bet Than Croome!

————

 Croome

——-

I was referred to this topic because there are allegedly moves to appoint a prominent poofter, Rodney Croome, to be the next Australian of the Year. What has this ‘gay’ activist done to merit such a distinction?

But then many people on the body which decides the prize title do not exactly resemble regular Australians.

Drawn from elitist agit-prop backgrounds, as at least some of them are, it’s not exactly surprising the selection committee chose that whinger Goodes as last year’s luminary. Since then, he  has come out with divisive drivel, a case of GOODES setting a BAD example. 

During a recent interview with the BBC, the AFL star said some Australian policies had resulted in the suppression of indigenous people and other minorities and called for better education about the country’s history.

———————–

 Gas-bag Goodes

================

He also said children needed to be taught that Australia wasn’t founded by Captain James Cook.

What a simplistic outlook!

Australia is a country, the Commonwealth of Australia, which did not exist prior to its discovery by Cook and his Dutch and Portuguese contemporaries. It was founded by colonists under the auspices of the greatest force for good the world has ever known, the British Empire.

==============

===

Yes, there was a land-mass there, since time immemorial, but the primitive people who wandered that wilderness would, of course, never have heard the word ‘Australia.’ To deny Cook and other Western explorers due credit for what we today know as Australia is like denying Newton credit for the laws of gravity – they too were always there, but it’s thanks to Newton we have identified them.

The said land-mass was never previously constituted as a political entity. That achievement derived from Cook’s voyages of discovery, during which he FOUND Australia, and established the British Crown’s claim on the territory. 

000
Adam Goodes  – what an ingrate! Australian of the Year in 2014, but abused the honour by dissing the country which has given him such an enjoyable life!

“I can use my position to help educate people to see through the things that they’ve been taught growing up,” he said.

Yeah. or better still, help them get their young heads round facts, like the fame and fortune which is there for anyone in the Lucky Country to seek and find – just as he did.

He should spend his every spare moment singing his country’s praises, not whining about his  prejudiced take on history.

===

This year’s Australian of the Year? 

==========

===

I’d suggest firstly Andrew Bolt. That would at least compensate for his victimisation via the anti-free-speech laws that the Government promised to reform but bottled out to appease another sort of disloyal whinger gas-bag.

But another man has been drawn to my attention, a young fellow still, but who speaks in language that normal Aussie folk can identify with. 

•  Scott Morrison

• The headline today probably made you think I was going to propose Scott Morrison, who is indeed a good guy.

But no, it’s Jason Morrison I’m talking about, a journo, who has a fine record of straight talking.

Here’s an example of what I mean –

INTERVIEW ON CHARLIE HEBDO KILLINGS MORRISON: I’m sorry. I have to interrupt here. I’m sorry I am not going to sit here and listen to people stupidly suggest that the French or the magazine or anyone brought this on themselves. Are you for real? We have a dozen people dead, killed in the name of a religious belief and you are seriously going to even slightly justify this?

COMPERE: I don’t think anyone is justifying anything here.

–

 

–

MORRISON: Well that’s not what I am hearing. I’m hearing this vaguely worded defence that France shouldn’t have done this and Sarkozy said that two years ago, and if they didn’t draw Mohammed then this might not of happened or whatever.

It is obscene and a gutless way of almost saying they all deserved this.

Well if you believe that you are about as bad as the idiot who thinks the pretty girl in the short skirt is asking to be raped so she better watch out.

COMPERE: That’s a ridiculous comparison.

MORRISON: Is it ridiculous? Tell me how?

It’s the “you were asking for it” way of thinking. Your logic is those who drew the pictures should have known better and should have known what the response would be.

–

–

Where as I say, if you can’t accept that people have different views to you then maybe the problem is with you if your response is the pull out an AK and go nuts.

COMPERE: Well, the material was designed to offend.

MORRISON: And so what?

A lot of what I’ve heard here today has offended me but if you’re civilised, and I think that’s a major issue with some of the people we are talking about, if you are civilised you just get on with it. We shouldn’t have to have special rules for special people.

COMPERE: No-one is suggesting special rules just an understanding that some things are offensive.

MORRISON: So OK, we can have a bit of fun with the Pope, with Buddha, Jesus Christ on the Cross, The Dalai Lama, The Queen, Barack Obama. Want to add to the list?

–

–

But not anything or anyone associated with Muslims. They’re special apparently. And that’s where all this free speech talk I’m hearing falls to bits. If you defend free speech then you defend offensive speech as well. It’s real easy to stand up for the nice stuff but sometime it gets ugly and if you are fair dinkum, as we say in Australia, you stand for all.

Now, I’m not fond of Jesus Christ jokes but if you crack one you shouldn’t fear a few goons showing up with AK47s and shooting everyone in the office dead at their desks.

So please, spare me the justification garbage for these terrorists being upset and just responding to provocation. If you think they are even slightly justified for killing people who drew some pictures then I’m afraid you are over in their column.

COMPERE: OK I take your point but if you deliberately set out to offend there are consequences.

MORRISON: Yes there. People might not buy your magazine or you get nasty letters in the mail from upset people but not a dozen of your workmates dead at their desks, and here we are again talking about consequences.

–

–

It’s back to the same argument as the pretty girl in the bar example. If you think she’s asking to be raped you are, in my view, unfit for civilised society. You are uncivilised and maybe that’s something we should be spending a bit of energy on.

00000000000000000

For those EXCELLENT words alone, Morrison deserves the title more than quite a few of the names read out by Tony Abbott earlier today!
