Do you want to discuss boring politics? (34 Viewers)

Which other countries have taken over parts of the UK? Last I checked all the residents of Sparkhill are still subject to British laws, they still have to pay taxes to the British government etc. Our economic output isn’t arbitrarily seized or taxed by another country, nor are our elections subject to what another country’s government says we can do. The actual terrorist you mention is running in an election run by the British government, not by another country.

Again, you do know what a colony actually is right? You’re not just parroting what you heard Jim Ratcliffe say the other week?

Again, I said areas and I said being colonised.

I didn't say it was seized, how much is sent back? Do you think the economy for that area will be completely different?

While of course there's UK laws country wide, I'm not saying everybody will be out breaking the laws, more that they will be living by a different set.

Political control, let's face it their votes are controlled.

You do know what areas being colonised means opposed to "the country is fully colonised". That's the difference.

I mentioned this in response to Pete when he acknowledged to get a vote in a certain area you have to do it in a different language, policies about a foreign country and draft in an extremist deputy leader, change policies.

Edit: I'm by no means saying I think my daughter is going to be made to wear a burkha tomorrow. Possibly her grandkids if things stay as they are though.

I don't think reform are the answer either. In fact, who is?

Controlled by who?

I’m not sure I do know what ‘areas being colonised’ means in this context. For somewhere to be colonised there has to be someone doing the colonising, and you’re yet to explain who specifically that is.

Yes, there are various groups of people looking to live by - maybe even impose - their own cultural and religious standards in this country. That is a problem, depending on your worldview. But by your own admission that is happening within the existing structures of British politics, not another country’s. If Sparkhill was truly being colonised there would be no need for colonisers to run for UK elections or set up a “parallel legal system” with no sovereignty over British law, they would just impose their own rules and be done with it.
