Though it is an imported trait, its a failure of the laws in place for the offence and locals have adapted well.

I reckon natives/imports are all at it.

It serves less than blade, bruv.

Will be back out in less than 2 years, much better trained (brainwashed) and adaptive.

To me these attacks should be classified as attempted murder by the C.P.S. and should carry a sentence on conviction of a minimum of 25 years. It's a truly heinous crime.

From the time that I was I my early teens I used to love going up to London, from whatever part of the UK I was living in. In all that time, I cannot recall a single story of 'acid attacks', let alone what we have now, a case of 'institutionalised acid attacks'.

What's brought about this change to London?  After all, acid's been around for hundreds of years.

Tobermory will tell us it all the rage in Victorian times, but in those times is was used as revenge rather than crime or robbery.

No doubt the respected historian will be along shortly.

Victorian England was extremely civilised , particularly when compared to some foreign countries which for example buried lepers alive , and burned wives on their husbands funeral pyre , or the thuggee cult which strangled and robbed over a period of hundreds of years , estimated at 40,000 murders a year ,It took the Victorian British to put a stop to that . or indeed parts of darkest Africa where Victorian explorers found that people were eating each other
When this was reported back to England liberals simply were so astounded that they refused to believe it
some of those who refused to believe it ended up being eaten
We still have such naive people in England today

more censorship here , deleted the comparison between the 'holy fools' as the Victorians called people in England who didn't believe the warnings and ventured out into darkest Africa , only to be eaten by cannibals

Liberal agendas are suicidal. Literally or metaphorically. E.G. Multi culturalism = Lego. Stay safe this weekend.

Good v Evil has been the theme for thousands of years. The clearest example of that is North Korea v South Korea. Still technically at war. Same country, yet opposite. One intent on life, the other death.

Fatherless black households are the norm. In the States and here. The result? Crime.

Liberals will stay silent or in the case of the despicable Lammy, blame the courts.

Funny you'd rant at liberalism and then just a moment later call out one of the more illiberal countries on the planet as being intent on death while praising their more liberal southern cousins.

From just a very quick google search you're doing Lammy injustice too. He has repeatedly called for fathers to take responsibility and not just "blamed the courts". As has that other dude called Barack Obama.

Seem to recall in Iran an attacker was to be strapped down and have a similar amount of acid poured over his face.  Think his family paid compensation instead. I'd be happy with an eye for an eye. Of course, here the rights of the perp come before the rights of the victim. More money for the lawyers that way.

edy - I think we're at odds over what we both mean by liberalism.

I see a self destructive liberalism that thinks multi culturalism, single parenthood, embracing of Islam and white shaming are somehow 'progressive' (yuk). Add to that aggressive feminism and the gay mafia and you have all kinds of confusion.

The good liberalism is a tolernace towards others whilst being a protector of national identity, heritage and tradition. South Korea has 14m Christians and has very strict immigration controls.

As for Lammy, anyone who says the following needs help:

'Donald Trump is a “racist Ku Klux Klan and Nazi sympathiser”, a Labour MP has said.

David Lammy, a former higher education minister, vowed to “chain myself to the door of Number 10” if plans to welcome the US President on a state visit to the UK go ahead.

Mr Lammy wrote on Twitter: “If Trump comes to the UK I will be out protesting on the streets. He is a racist KKK and Nazi sympathiser. “Of course I will campaign against it. If I have to chain myself to the door of Number 10 this black man will do it.”

multiculturalism
There isn't even such a thing as "true" multiculturalism. You will always have a form of "Leitkultur" provided by the country's (or region's) heritage, language, constitution and laws.

single-parenthood
Some men absolutely need to be raised better and take more responsibility, I fully agree. Don't blame liberalism for liberating and economically somewhat emancipating women to allow them to leave their crappy partners though or some men being mass fathering dicks that couldn't care less about their financial and parenting obligations.

embracing of islam
oh please, are you serious?

white shaming
Some of the things brought forward are BS, sure, but I think you're probably also confusing legitimate criticism with white shaming. Are you so petite that you, despite easily being the king of the world as a white western male, can't handle a bit of it? Especially with the amount of brown shaming we routinely do we should be able to handle some honest reflection on our actions and past. Maybe as a German, one of the few populations that were actually forced to come to terms with their past, I have a more sober view on it than someone who is brought up to only see the glory and dismiss all the bad things of his country. Brits of course are nowhere near alone in that. Russians celebrate Stalin again, Turkey refuses to admit to the armenian genocide etc.

"gay mafia and aggressive feminism"
There's a rather simple way to take any and all wind out the sails of these movements. Give them the rights and respect they deserve.

The arch conservative Donald Trump left/divorced his wives and kids at the ages of about 15, 11, 8 and 6 respectively on his conquest for new flesh in the sack btw. Something the evil liberals like the Obamas, the Clintons (ok, Bill adulterated around just as much Donald probably) curiously didn't.

Who represents the family better out of that conservative that we all pray for and those liberals/progressives?

If you are not with us you are against us.  It is as simple as that.  Be part of us or be against us - so simple.
But there is a group that is against us and always will be. Diametrically opposed.   They even have an instruction book to follow.  People like edy say carry on - let them be -( did they say the same of the nazis.)  I understand they were supported by capitalists to prevent the socialists getting power.  Beware what you wish for as they say. Anyway, no one has the guts to stand up to them.  All policians, bar a few, are too scared to speak out.

I note two of my posts have been deleted on this thread.

One where I praised two black MPs for speaking their minds.

Another where I made some general political comments on reasons for immigration.

I doubt if a ''regular'' poster had anything to with the deletions.

Oh hello edy, how you going mate?
