…and another for them.
A muslim who raped a 13-year-old girl he groomed on Facebook has been spared a prison sentence after a judge heard he went to an Islamic faith school where he was taught that women are worthless.
I don’t recall that being included in the national curriculum.

Free Speech vs Popular Opinion
Free speech is about the state dictating what is or is not acceptable, it is not about free people freely expressing contempt for contemptible behaviour.
Refusal to finance a platform for thugs to spew their venomous bile does not constitute censorship.
Financing a platform constitutes support.

In these truths we believe
Pulling together is the aim of despots and tyrannies. Free men pull in all kinds of directions.paraphrased from Lord Vetinari
Shouting “fire” in a theatre which is on fire is a duty incumbent on us all."I would remind you that extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice! And let me remind you also that moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue."
Free speech is about the state dictating what is or is not acceptable, not about free people freely expressing contempt for contemptible behaviour. -
Praise Indeed
Get thee hence. Go. Learn. Laugh. Rejoice that you live in the same decade with this person, and that both of you own a computer.
Counting Cats in Zanzibar is no fan of NuLabour politicians and, in excoriating them, writes one of the finest lines to be seen on any blog, anywhere
Go read these fellows if you enjoy fine word craft done well, they write like brilliant demons.
Counting Cats (CC) was taken to task by several other commenters for being too squeamish and perhaps even morally neutral about who are the good guys and who are the bad guys here. While I don't share CC's reaction to the video, I rejoice in his (her?) existence. What kind of a world would it be if people like CC didn't exist or if they had to hide their views? Who knows, we might all be living in something akin to Somalia. ... CC's civilized response is precisely why our military is a force for good in the world.
I love that.
Counting Cats in Zanzibar (great name, great blog)
That really does articulate the thing in a weirdly clear way to me.
I love this blog. Best damn read you can get anywhere.
