Just be thankful that the bbc have a gay liberation with beans on toast correspondent on hand to let us know what's happening...unlike the gay liberation riots in Paris who can't tell us

BBC just reported that the sultan has a tiny kingdom. That would explain a lot.

You can't tell em. Increasing rapidly here yet people simply hoping they'll tone it down. News flash, they can't tone it down, it's in the book.

The point is is it's not a "homophobic" or "anti gay" law, it's a range of very backward laws that are taken from religious text and put forward in the name of that religion and one of them targets gay people. That's the reality of it. People should be allowed to criticise all of this and point at the cause of it, if we can't (and many SJWs and the permanently outraged would have it that we can't) we might as well give up and welcome the world slipping backwards with freedom of speech more akin to 1984 and mandatory newspeak.

I assume everyone's happy to ditch EU immigration in favour for more from Brunei and other commonwealth partners looking for a better life.

It is not one or the other.
Current it is both. The majority of people in the country want neither. But of course that does not suit big business that requires cheap labour. But that is for another thread. What is interesting in this case is the lack of outrage over it. |

By:
IT - I think it's because to criticise Brunei is have a pop at Islam. It's a tricky one for the SJWs.

Think there has been to be honest. Suppose it depends on what you read.
There were a couple of muppets higher up criticising Owen Jones silence. They clearly didn't bother to check before diving in as he's covered it a lot. Sadly, as per inj hete some people are more interested in using it to score points rather than be actually outraged. |
|
By:
Yes to be fair Jones did comment...
Don't stay silent while Brunei imposes the death penalty for gay people. Protest *TOMORROW*, 12.30pm outside the Sultan of Brunei's pad in Ealing. Spread the word! His focus seems to be on the Sultan rather than to address the underlying strong teachings that the laws originate from. Also the focus is on gay people rather than the other laws as well. This is the elephant in the room that the left (and the arms sellers) seem to avoid discussing. |

I checked Jones twitter feed before I posted. Maybe we can add "doesn't understand the flow of time" to the many things PoP doesn't understand
 .I wonder why the MSM and Snowflake Army (such as Jones) are only caring about one single aspect and calling this an "anti gay" law not a "range of literal medieval islamic punishments", when the latter is actually far more correct? Do they CARE if someone accused of "insulting the profit" or "adultery" is killed? It's only recently we've had the horrifying cases where women in the Maldives who have been raped have therefore "commited adultry" and were going to be lashed, until international pressure stopped it. Or the woman in Pakistan threatened with death for drinking from the wrong mug. This is what we are dealing with there and the people horrified at this aren't the bad guys, I'll be damned if I'm going to be called "racist" for getting annoyed at this. In fact the Maldives were going to stone a woman for adultery in 2015: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/africaandindianocean/maldives/11940419/Maldives-woman-sentenced-to-death-by-stoning-wins-reprieve.html |

What would you like be done in this case? I can assure you that if one day this creeps into Europe, it will not be because Islam is bad. it will be because some politician fkd you over. I think we need to get over this mentality that we have to repair Islam or other countries. I couldn't care less about people being stoned in Brunei as long as it doesn't creep into Europe. When one day this becomes a law in Europe, I can guarantee you will still be complaining about Islam, and not about the lawmakers. We all saw that during the refugee crisis. And look how that ended. |

So JC, when you wrote Nothing about this shocking step
 on the stalwart of LGBT rights Mr O Jones's twitter feed, what you really meant was several posts on this... Got it. Thanks. Because only an idiot would check something, and then write the opposite knowing how easy it would be to prove wrong. A simple typo. Must have been. |
|
By:
There are so many laws in Europe that need repairing, especially related to nationality and immmigration. Then there are the policies that aren't written in law but still happen every day, such as media coverage and PC bull. Then there are upcoming or recent laws like online censure and freedom of speech that need attention.
But hey, let's sort out Brunei's stoning law first...ffs. If they all stoned each other to death we will only have half a million people less in the world. But the threat to Europe will still be the same. |
|
By:
And obviously there is the biggest issue of getting people to follow our laws instead of their own. And we have so badly failed at that. Because we are more concerned about repairing their laws at the source rather then just kicking them out for not following ours.
The politicians will happily join you in a protest against Brunei, if that is what people would like to see, but how many politicians would join you in a protest to make the muslims follow Europe's law? None. And that is what p1sses me off because people don't put the questions to the politicians, but want a 1400 year old religion to correct its ways. |

Thanks, that was all.

What is interesting in this case is the lack of outrage over it. The beeb did have Peter Tatchell on the radio though. Does he have a “batphone” linked to the BBC hierarchy, so he can be on the air in a moments notice in case their is an LGBT outrage? |
|
By:
PP, do you agreed that Jones avoiding the reasons behind these laws by going after the Sultan himself? Do you think it is a good idea for the SJWs to avoid discussing Sharia Law?
|
|
By:
'No' will mean 'yes'
|
|
By:
No, what I mean PoP is he posted AFTER I posted. God I swear, pretty everything posted on here goes over your head and needs explained. It's quite amazing.

Is Jones avoiding anything? He's simply protesting about it in the best way he sees fit.
Whole lot of virtue signalling in all this with Clooney boycotting hotels etc but truth is it's almost hopeless when trying to protest against a despotic, unelected ruler who is personally richer than several decent sized countries. Not sure how you get him to stop in all honesty but people need to be seen to be doing something I suppose. |

Not sure how you get him to stop in all honesty but people need to be seen to be doing something I suppose. ^ This is the problem. You are completely missing the underlying issue by claiming this is the Sultan. Look at Iran, Look at Pakistan, Look at Isis and look at this case. What is the underlying thing that is causing this action against theft, being gay, adultery or saying something wrong? Is there anything in common between the laws coming out of Brunei and those against Asia Bibi in Pakistan? Can you really not see it? |

JC - seeing as Jones was tweeting about while still in the month of March, maybe you need to explain this flow of time thing I'm missing.

My reality is fine thanks.
Jones wrote about this in March. JC wrote in April that he hadn't. I pointed out he had. JC said he did so, but only after he'd posted. He was and is wrong. You continuing to follow me slavishly doesn't change that simple fact. |
