Don’t avoid the question.

And I’ll ask you another couple:

How many Jews have been gang raping young white girls in England ?

When was the last case you heard of where a Jew had set fire to his sister or his wife because she was not doing as she was told ? 

Where are the Jewish areas like Bradford and Luton ?

Again, all very very easy to answer mate.
 

You know, I didnt mind staying a couple if nights in Golders Green a few years back when I had a couple of meetings in the area..

However, I wasn't as keen on Tower Hamlet when I met an Egyptian there one evening for some work, he was pleasant enough to be fair...but there was a stark difference in the 2 areas, I know which one i preffered... just saying

I didn’t think Hendon was so bad in comparison to some of its neighbours staggering to walk the old haunts of NW London now and see the high streets they are completely unrecognisable.

I've been browsing and reading about the 'war'. One thing struck me. The American right swept Trump into power. Rightist think tanks led by Steve Bannon , Charlie Kirk, Tucker Carlson and others have been strategising the right's forward march in America and Europe. Decades of liberalism, rightly or wrongly have been pushed back.

The right seem united on immigration, race, the 'castration' of men in modern society, opposition to Islam and the  promotion of  christian values.

But the right is divided on Israel. Many right wingers led by  young men like Nick Fuentes, share nazi ideology, deny or undermine the holocaust  and,  crucially cannot see the point of joining  Israel's battle with Iran. They think America has been sucked into this war and resent it. Big time. It will be interesting to see how this plays out.

The popularity  of  the war  among ordinary Americans is going to be tested, particularly in respect to the war's effect on the economy. Especially food and gas prices. Trump promised 'no new wars'. How will his supporters react to this apparently broken promise? 

Get the popcorn out.

It never ends well when working class people  brag about their former poverty. It can get quite heated. 'I was poorer than you!'

 One up manship takes many forms.lol

I should have made it clearer that I was referring to a less than salubrious area of a less than salubrious town, Sunderland.

I refuse to call it a City, as at the time it had neither of the pre-requisites of a cathedral or university and it was only granted the status of “City” after many years of the inhabitants weeping , wailing and teeth gnashing at the perceived , but unwarranted, injustice of their magnificent neighbour, Newcastle , being so superior

Cheers.
