You are so ethnocentric that you don't realize he or she may not be an english native speaker. I would like to see the way you write and -mainly- the way you transmit your ideas in other languages. Then you'll notice how difficult it is, especially when you are in front of prejudiced idiots.

Factually a muppet that controls a site move on and please Skinny rename it Moz Hatters best of luck. Please all the lovers of has been go to his event I will be so happy

*EDIT* - wait - I'm getting an image here - fat man, in his sixties, balding, voted UKIP, used to vote BNP, worked in transport, 'reads' the Daily Star, thinks Farage is a hero, can't get a belt to fit, blames everyone else for his shit life. I'm right, aren't I?
Yea seriously overweight , I'm not even 50 yet not far away certainly not balding a full head of hair and no grey yet, nope UKIP sadly always been labour, BNP again never voted them, 20 years ago was a bus driver, nope never blame anyone for my life it is what it is good and bad, Sadly none of your points matter to me apart from I'm unintelligent, However what are you had no answers over 2 days to what I have asked ?

f***s sake man - just pick a language - ANY language - and go with it.

And now back on ignore. I've had my fun. Others can too.

I have never met an arab doctor that knew a fooking thing. I have had to report a host of them and even had one lose his job. One arab woman told Pilla that she should be grateful for getting any help cause in the doctors own home country they didn't get any.
This after the doctor prescribed the wrong medicine. The doctor got a warning and was told to wise up.

Shame that the poster is the work of a campaign bureau and has nothing at all with real life to do. Those people buy their doctors degrees and if you study it like Varg Vikernes did then you will realise it is true.

Last arab doctor I went to I tested his knowledge and he know fook all and when I called the one in charge of the health center he apologised and admitted the doctor in question didn't exactly have a great track record.

When will you show us the scientific tests you did and isn't it a fact that you are the only fantasist on this forum?

As far as looks go you look like a sheep farmer from Yorkshire cause that is what you come from. Men that plays the guitar.....

Those are dictatorships. Not all dictatorships are fascist.

There are Left Wing dictatorships, and there are Right Wing dictatorships, but each prefer a different bias in terms of how they practice control.

The key feature of dictatorships is their lack of democratic mechanisms to alleviate political disenchantment, and their air-tight control of information.

There is no real government control of the media when it allows for biased, private media corporations to counter even official government media.

America is interesting in that it functions under the guise of equal debate, but allows such extreme degrees of tailored marketing to influence its public discourse that it can pretend it's not a Banana Republic when it is the very definition of one.

So, you can be "free" to publish your opinion, but money to fund noise can drown out that freedom, and diminish its reach, and reduce it to little more than white noise.

Freedom without rules becomes a form of constraint. It's the reason why we have rules in sports, and other games. Without them, there is less "play."

It then gets reduced back down to the brass tacks of money/power equals influence. Democracy is real in a institutional sense, but it's raw power is practically diminished by better funded marketing.

Not everyone has equal access to information.

My definition of fascism is also acceptable, there are several meanings of the word. Please make a wider search. One of those defines fascism as a dictatorial regime, without discriminating whether it is left or right. This last division between right and left is also very questioned at the moment.

 

[caramel sea salt]

No.

Either side can veer into totalitarianism, but that doesn't mean the underlying political theories are indistinguishable or that there is any debate about which is left and which is right.

 

[countthree]

No. Please go beyond wikipedia.

Jeez. The language of these Nazis is appalling, isn't it, almost as if they're under-educated or mentally unspectacular or something...

He told interviewer Simon Armitage: "Did you see the thing on the news about their treatment of animals and animal welfare? Absolutely horrific. You can't help but feel that the Chinese are a subspecies."

http://www.foxnews.com/entertainmen...-by-supporters-isis-in-bizarre-interview.html

He also posted this on his own website Morrissey Central

Former Smiths frontman Morrissey rambled about halal meat producers, claiming they can only get certification “by supporters of ISIS” while blasting British leaders Theresa May and Sadiq Khan in a bizarre interview.

Agreed, many in life judge on now what is left and right, that's why politics and politicians all around the world have no clue on direction.

First point as an animal lover he is asking the ? yes it is horrific and yes why need to mutilate so many animals for ones appetite. Halal again not grossly worse that how we kill cows, chickens or any other meat produce however if he believes in animals, who is right him us or what I don't know, still have never saw anything racist he slags KFC and MCDONALDS nobody bats any eyelid as soon as others are mentioned he is Racist hmmm

 

[Charlie Cheswick]

Never be a Nazi as seems to be your only answer to anything raised on this site. Please provide evidence again many times does one need to ask.

Sorry no not your only answer normally Racist so please inform me how I'm a Nazi or Racist intrigued go on

"You can't help but feel that the Chinese are a subspecies"

Racism 101.

 

[vegan.cro spirit# 453]

LOL right because grooming gangs which exist in abundance in Muslim countries are suddenly
the fault of some white dude drinking been in London. Total nutjob.

Or maybe like Chezz would say they are because someone invaded somewhere they never
existed before.

Lets bring ALL OF PAKISTAN that is sure to eliminate the grooming gangs and the stupid ISLAM

Fascism is that they love, the thought police. Islam Communism, peeps with nothing going for themselves
and want to harass peeps that have jobs and work. Work terrifies them.

Again please show Morrissey statement not from site go on post it

They eat puppies and kittens FFS. Besides who gives a F if Moz thinks they are a subspecies? Unless you are a Nazi and want to run the way everybody thinks.
Pretty soon they will want to censor all Music with their Islamic brains.

 

[vegan.cro spirit# 453]

Manchester music will be so much better now, new hero, Dave Haslam, top top man, ex Hacienda DJ, WOW!!!,

He probably will open a Kickstarter to replace the money he expected to pick pocket off Moz bystanders.

"No one responds to your posts anymore," he responded.

I take it you missed this bit?
( your having my time for one night only)

 

[gordyboy9]

did you know the Nazis invented the high five,used to be called the heil five.

 

[Morrissey-so-old.com]

I guess because all the stupid shit Morrissey has been saying is finally catching up to him and hitting his wallet

His mouth has been writing checks that his dumb ass can’t cash. He really should just shut the f*** up with his political views, it’s funny he talks shit about Trump but he has more in common with him then he knows.

 

[gordyboy9]

I saw it claimed on another site that about a third of the total Castlefield tickets were sold. Impossible to verify, but if he struggled to sell 2,000 in Edinburgh, then selling 5-6 K in Manchester would be pretty respectable in context. It means he can easily still sell out, say, the Apollo.

rice krispie just to let you know the official attendance of the recently renovated usher hall in Edinburgh is 2200.
