| 305. Author: Tenruh Date: Wed 23rd Apr 2025. 16:23 Interesting viewpoint. Trump now appears to be desperate for a deal with the Chinese. While they appear to be ignoring him https://open.substack.com/pub/dearscotland/p/why-china-is-rising-and-the-west?r=hzhx5&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=email Post Edited (Wed 23 Apr 16:32) Reply |
| 306. Author: The One Who Knocks Date: Thu 5th Jun 2025. 21:04 Open hostilities now between the worlds most powerful and the worlds richest man. Trump threatening to cancel Musks government contracts and Musk going on twitter to make an incredible allegation against Trump. And although my eyes were open They just might as well be closed Reply |
| 307. Author: ipswichpar Date: Thu 5th Jun 2025. 21:37 It does make me wonder if they short everything. Have a massive fake falling out, make a fortune, reverse the short and then fall back in together. This just seems a bit too convenient and a very profitable soap opera for some. Reply |

| 310. Author: jake89 Date: Thu 5th Jun 2025. 22:22 Interesting that this has stemmed from a discussion around wearing of a Burka. Personally, I don`t think the Burka should be banned, but it should be permissable to request it is removed in certain situations IMO and it should only be worn if the woman chooses to rather than be enforced. Those claiming it`s a requirement of the Islamic faith are talking out their bottoms. Reply |
| 311. Author: ipswichpar Date: Thu 5th Jun 2025. 23:22 Woman : "I`m happy to take it off. It`s not going to cause any problems later if I do." I can see that happening..... So you then move into a position where folk ask for it to be removed, and that doesn`t happen. That`ll cause frustration and upset too. Unfortunately, this feels like the male/female discussion in that we`re expecting every problem to have a binary answer. At least one party is always going to have a problem with the outcome. Reply |
| 312. Author: jake89 Date: Thu 5th Jun 2025. 23:52 Therein lies the issue. People can wear what they want but it depends if they have chosen or if they have been coerced or threatened. The Burka as far as I`m aware is not technically mentioned in any religious scripture. It`s a more modern invention. Reply |

| 314. Author: red-star-par Date: Fri 6th Jun 2025. 11:15 I guess what`s the difference between wearing a burka in a bank or a balaclava. They do the same job but I`d imagine the balaclava would be seen with a little more suspicion Reply |
| 315. Author: The One Who Knocks Date: Fri 6th Jun 2025. 12:10 Why a bank? What was called for is a ban on the burka in public places. In France you can be fined something like a 100 euros if you wear a burka in a public space. What has it go to do with the government what clothes you wear? I get that some people might think that women who wear the burka are being forced to do so but this seems to then force these women to not cover themselves up. It removes the agency from women to wear what they want. We wouldn`t put up with it if the government wanted to ban women from wearing skirts shorter than knee length or if they wanted to ban women from wearing a swimsuit/bikini while at the beach. And although my eyes were open They just might as well be closed Reply |
| 316. Author: jake89 Date: Fri 6th Jun 2025. 12:41 The One Who Knocks, Fri 6 Jun 12:10 The concern with any face covering is someone is attempting to conceal their identity. However, as you point out a bigger concern is clothing choices being forced on women. As far as I understand, there are lines in scriptures relating to covering yourself but they don`t mandate wearing of a Burka. This is a more modern invention, one you could argue is about controlling women rather than related to faith. It suggests women are inferior but also that men are savages who have no control over their actions. Reply |
| 317. Author: Wotsit Date: Fri 6th Jun 2025. 14:46 I imagne that Trump is a lot more interested in the claims that Musk overstayed his visa and lied on his naturalisation papers now that deporting him would fit with Trump`s personal ambitions. The enemy travels by private jet, not by dinghy. Reply |

| 320. Author: Dave_1885 Date: Sat 7th Jun 2025. 05:23 The El Savadorian that was wrongly deported has been returned to the US - but has been charged with 2 counts of “alien” smuggling. Whats worse about this is the fact the Attorney General stood at the podium openly using the term “alien smuggling” 😂 and the BBC have gone along with it! So dim witted its unreal 🤦🏻♂️ Reply |
