Fed Up With The Usual Hype Fed To Us By Our Media? Then Here Is A Piece That Tells It Exactly How It Is.

/// 'They have encouraged the pernicious doctrine of 'multiculturalism' — which is just a fancy word for apartheid and has created vast, monocultural Muslim ghettoes in our great cities . . . ///

/// 'The politicians have opened the floodgates to mass immigration without insisting on integration. They pretend that every culture, no matter how medieval and barbaric, is worthy of equal respect. ///

[TheChair]

Looks to me like the usual tripe fed to us by the right-wing media.

[ToraToraTora]

"I would have preferred to see a few prominent Muslim clerics giving press conferences condemning the slaughter committed in the name of their faith." - some hope of that!

[ToraToraTora]

"because the British authorities are scared stiff of upsetting 'moderate' Muslims, our response to genuine extremism is equivocal" - Bang on once more!

[ToraToraTora]

"Police patrol Twitter for 'hate crimes' such as 'homophobia' but ignore entreaties to mass murder. Similarly, the authorities expend more effort stopping football hooligans travelling abroad to England away games than preventing wannabe jihadists heading to Syria to fight alongside Islamic State — or returning here to bring death to the streets of Britain." - The Guy's a genius.

Perhaps you could enlighten us by explaining how this is simply tripe fed to us by the right-wing media:

"They pretend that every culture, no matter how medieval and barbaric, is worthy of equal respect."

[ToraToraTora]

yes, the chair, perhaps you'd like to refute some of the points made?

Mr Littlejohn is Katie Hopkins in a suit - with slightly more savvy about when to stop.

The current climate makes his job - stirring up right-wing fear and suspicion - even easier than usual, given his platform.

I read the Mail every day, but I have not read a word he has said for as long as I can remember.

Does anyone recall his 'chat' show, on television, no longer broadcast surprisingly (!) when he was deeply offensive to two lesbian guests, and was put very firmly and properly back under his stone by Michael Winner?

He is a knee-jerk sexist right-wing buffoon, and he is doing what he does best - pronouncing hate bate from his gated community home in Florida.

So I would suggest that anyone can 'tell it like it is' - if all he is doing is creating a summary of terrorism using the book 'Blind prejudice and broad-stroke ethnic-hating for white people with no notion of what the word 'complex' means.

I think people deserve a press which pressurises the wider Muslim community to stand up and speak up, instead of hooting bigoted sarcasm under the laughable banner of 'telling it like it is'.

Why am I not surprised at a-h's response?

[ToraToraTora]

Andy, as mikey would say, you are playing the man, have a go at the ball eh?

[Kromovaracun]

Richard Littlejohn lives in Florida and by his own admission spends very little time in the UK....

/// I read the Mail every day, but I have not read a word he has said for as long as I can remember. ///

Then I don't think that you are in a position to comment.

[Baldric]

I think that although he spends a lot of time in Florida RL seems to have a reasonable idea of what's going on in this Country.
I agree with a great deal of what he has written and unlike some see no sign of right-wing fear and suspicion, just a genuine dislike of what is being allowed to happen to our country by those in Power.
Others are as usual blind to the problem or in denial over it.

Spot on Mr Littlejohn, but it's wayyyy too late now, sadly.

[anotheoldgit]

/// 'Blind prejudice and broad-stroke ethnic-hating for white people with no notion of what the word 'complex' means. ///

Did anyone mention the colour of skin?

Muslims come in all shades, between white and black.

[youngmafbog]

On the subject of tripe AH.....

Spot on RLJ.

Andy Hughes > I read the Mail every day, but I have not read a word he has said for as long as I can remember.

Do you receive a special edition from the delivery boy/girl who tears out the page before putting the paper through the door? :-)

When I read the posts from the start, I wondered when the first reference to Katie Hopkins would be!

You're no fan of Jan Moir either are you?!

[sp1814]

Well said TheChair.

Completely agree.

[ToraToraTora]

so none of you lefties can find any counter arguments to the points made then? right oh!

[New Judge]

"Well said TheChair.

Completely agree."

But alas he has not had the courtesy to answer my question.

"Richard Littlejohn lives in Florida and by his own admission spends very little time in the UK...."

But he manages to attend most of Tottenham Hotspurs' home games.
