************ premier sparks anger with gay jibe The Foreign Office was involved in a diplomatic spat with ******** yesterday after the country's premier said he would "throw out" any homosexual minister who visited the country with his "boyfriend". The remarks were seen as a calculated attack on Ben Bradshaw, the openly-gay minister with responsibility for south-east Asia.

Tolerent bunch .....NOT

    Indonesia? <IMG alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/smile.gif"&gt;

    It doesnt matter to the lefties that these muslim countries are some of the most repressive and socially backward in the history of man. They are so anti-western they are willing to forgive anything.

    I believe it was in England this year that NF marches took place. And isn't it an english minister who used to support, and I think lead, the BNP. And didn't a certain minister have to resign after it emerged he was gay... And the riots in Oldham.... And the nail bomb blasts in London.... and the countless other cases of racism, sexism, homophobia and whatever other discrimination you see in the UK and America every day. We're not so perfect either.

    Oh, and Balddog. Exactly why did you have to make that comment about the 'lefties'? It was completely unprovoked in this thread. Or is it an attempt to change every thread into a bash-the-lefties thread?

    Mindless,

    Did you happen to notice that it was the head of the Indonesian govt who made the statement. The UK may have a lot of various isms but they dont run to our PM making openly racist, homophobic or downright offensive statements towards those people.
    Try being gay in Afghanistan, they bury you under a wall of rubble. Its illegal in EVERY muslim country and punished brutally in most.

    Im sorry Mindless...Will you submit a list of the topics you think I should be able to address on any particular thread. Ill try to stick to your wishes.

    I posted it because ive read so many posts about how we shouldnt encoach upon another countries culture and frankly it sickens me. The left wing types in this country have been campaigning for minority rights and equality for decades but they also are perfectly happy to support the single most repressive regime on the globe at this time. There seems to be no other reason than the fact that they have pissed off the west so much.

    Can you offer another explaination as to this massive hypocracy?

    Speaking for myself, I don't support the Taliban. I don't support their morals, and I think that they are a disgrace to the planet. I support an attempt to get rid of them.

    What I don't support is all the calls I hear for slow and painful deaths, all the shouts for nukes that were heard not long after it happened, all the abuse which is aimed not at the Taliban, but at all muslims and the abuse which is aimed at people who don't think there should be a war. It may sicken you to hear people think that we should not encroach on another countries culture, but I find all those things a lot more sickening. I thought people in general were above that.

    all the shouts for nukes that were heard not long after it happened

    Most people have emotions Mindless. Shortly after the worst terrorist attack in the history of man, isnt it understandable that peoples views might be a little heated? People have calmed down now.

    Youve seen maybe one or two people who state that all muslims should be punished. Hardly representative of anything.

    There have been no calls for nukes, the deaths of all muslims or anything like that in the mainstream media but the left wing media is always going on about the validity of the enforced culture of afghanistan.

    Can you explain the hypocracy of the left on this issue? I didnt ask you what you found sickening, I asked why the left can support a regime that is contrary to the core beliefs they have held for decades.

    That might have somthing to do with the fact that they can't be openly racist. Maybe?

    Not so mutch now, but during the last conservitive gov.('s) there where alsorts of coments made all the time. (don't ask me to quote 'cos I can't remeber them of the top of my head)

    The left wing types in this country have been campaigning............

    Don't put us all us 'crusty lefties' in the same box, I for one would love to see the Taliban topple, weomen to get equal rights etc. etc. But I just don't think we are going about the 'The War Against Terror' (T.W.A.T.) in the right way.

    A little heated?!?!

    the same thing goes for us 'crusty lefties'

    Surely that goes to prove that we arent anywhere near as tolerant of intolerance as some would like to think.

    Some tory ministers may well have made some dodgy remarks back then but it most certainly wasnt govt policy and it most certainly wasnt the PM. Do you really think the UK isnt much better than a muslim country when it comes to tolerance?
    But I just don't think we are going about the 'The War Against Terror' (T.W.A.T.) in the right way.

    I dont either, I think we should stop fucking around and get the job done asap. I probably shouldnt lump the left all in one group but its hard to distinguish sometimes. Hard to scopp through the bullshit and hypocracy to get to the decent lefties like you seem to be.

    Ive seen many many times more lefties indirectly supporting the taliban regime than I have other people calling for nuking all muslims.

    There is NO law which prevents this. Hence why the BNP and NF can publish their shit.

    The mainstream media have guidelines, but they can be ignored...

    Don't you remember the openly racist crap when England played the Germans in Euro 96?

    The difference is that the general public don't accept this, and usually the press organisation responsible has to apologise within days.

    Still, it's a bit different from the PM making such a statement...

    It is sad that you excuse the Indonesian PM's comment by saying that the Tories were no better. Surely it is ALWAYS wrong regardless of who says it an when it was said...

    Just another example of the 'left' excusing a heinous act because of the past...

    there are laws they just get ignored. ie. the 'incitement of racial hatred' etc.

    Whoooa horsie! I never said THAT!

    The Indonesian PM's comments where a discraceful pile of shite. simple as. I was not excusing her (?)
    Just another example of the 'left' excusing a heinous act because of the past...

    I thought we had discused this?
