In the news

Would that be our money.

It strikes me as the sort of thing at would really upset your average daily mail and sun reader, you know how worked up about the Barnett formula they get.

The way I read this is that they're targeting shrines and tombs, including where these are attached to/combined with mosques, to fight 'idolatry'. I suppose if they found a modern shrine or grave which attracts devotees of whatever kind they might dynamite that, too. Obviously, it takes on bizarre forms not only there but also when they destroy old polytheistic remains wholesale that nobody venerates any more but only visits for historic interest. It's always ironic theologically that a strong God and faith should be able to easily withstand and overcome such temptations without the need for destruction.

Yeah, that's exactly right. It's a very Salafi view of man's relationship with the meaning invested in physical objects. One ISIS member has even been quoted as saying that they'd destroy the stones at Mecca for being idolatrous.

Would they destroy them by stoning them?

While stoned.

Well, at least they're consistent, if rather absurd if they imagine idolatry can be 'fought' by means of the destruction of physical objects. It may be said to have worked for Moses, at least for a time, but 'holy' physical objects have always been part of religion, whether monotheistic or polytheistic, from Christian relics to whatever, so good luck trying to get away from that by getting a lot of people's backs up instead of trying to peacefully increase understanding. /holyinnocence

'Multiple injuries':

It does sound as if the van attack may have been causal in his death, but of course we don't want to pre-empt the court case.

U wot M9!

good luck picking your fruit with all those sovereignty-bots, you useless posh idiot. fuck you. you deserve to fail.

Stupid fucking cunt. He wanted to have his cake, eat it, put loads of British strawberries on the cake, and make a profit out of the strawberries on the cake.

Cunt.

Haha I mean you've got to laugh but how fucking annoying is it?!

I remember my Dad banging on about 'sovereignty'. He seems to keep quiet now.

So many people clamouring for something that they don't fully understand and that we already had.

Don't see a problem. Our ballot papers are numbered/referenced. The Government can track down those who voted Leave. They can 'own' the problem. I suggest we start the enforced month of fruit/vegetabe picking with the wealthiest. Harry Hall can show Paul Dacre, Gove & dePfeffel how to pick strawberries

^ Brilliant.

A real arrow would have gone much further in or even passed through.

He understands now that he always had the sovereignty to be quiet ;)
