You may well be right their. I wonder if data on the Northern Ireland troubles show an increase ever after we had the brexit referendum. I don't know, every once in a while it is suggested, but I for one have no data on that. As for attacks on Protestant Churches and properties, you mentioning it suggest it's reported somewhere. Probably region newspapers? None of the British Isle papers seem to take it up much, neither the MSM nor the more left or rightish. Well, some may indeed be seen as 'local news only'. Attacks on mosques are indeed taken up by the British news papers, maybe because such violence is more like 'in my backyard' rather than 'over the hills and far away'. BTW a quick search showed up this article from August 2019. Unfortunately it just mentions churches and other religious buildings and doesn't split cases up per brand of religion. Mind you the data seems from CARE NI which is a Christian organisation which using that name might not include Catholics. "Northern Ireland churches attacked almost 450 times in three years" www.bbc.com/news/uk-northern-ireland-49414293Mind you this article from May 2019 does mention a Catholic Church. "Arsonists strike at Catholic church in Northern Ireland" cruxnow.com/church-in-uk-and-ireland/2019/05/arsonists-strike-at-catholic-church-in-northern-ireland/I bet you nearly creamed your kecks when you saw the last bit about the Catholic Church. Anybody with any knowledge will be aware that it is not a one-way street. It's more that I still wonder how Christians of any flavour can forget that the Book has something on turning the other cheek and 'violence begets violence'. Even being able to trace the history of this endless bloodshed to 100 years ago, to 170 years ago, to 330 years, 370 or more years ago doesn't really help. |

but, but, but, my dear rott. If one of the articles was old enough to be proven wrong or right by now, surely newer articles would confirm either way. But you prefer to quote unproven allegations as facts. Where is all the evidence of murder and mayhem committed by uneducated, lowlife White tossers? I quote as information, not necessarily facts. Not really different from what you do. As for 'evidence' please contact your local MI5 branch and leave your contact details. Although we know who you are we like to double check all.  |

Seems as the Germans are rather keen on burning the EU as opposed to the EU flag. Germany Takes Back its Sovereignty from the European Union
by Soeren Kern
May 18, 2020 at 5:00 amHypocrisy is an interesting word isn't it. Stand by for hysterical rants as well as the labeling of the news source as a Right Wing extremist organisation The European Union is now engaged in a power struggle with its largest member state, Germany. The legal feud threatens to unravel not only Europe's single currency, the euro, but the EU itself.

Actually I was once headhunted by a separate branch who seemed keen to have me on board. I was younger then. For better or worse I had to decline. |

Indeed Rott it isn't, nor ever was only god who is or was presumed to move in mysterious ways his wondrous deeds to perform...

The E.U. is an idea which is treasured by many Europeans even if British have a problem with that. I understand Britain move have similar symbols less valued by continental Europeans. BTW up-to-a-point the flag of the USA is similar to the flag of the E.U. Even the 'Union Jack' represents four countries. PS "The European Union (EU) is a political and economic union of 27 member states that are located primarily in Europe." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Union"The Flag of Europe or European Flag[note 1] is an official symbol used by two separate organisations, the Council of Europe (CoE) as a symbol representing Europe,[3] and the European Union (EU). It consists of a circle of twelve five-pointed stars on a blue field." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_EuropePPS still checking but it seems only in Britain the E.U. is described as a project. It's almost as if to diminish it's value by using the 'project' label. You should meet my cousin. He's from Milan, as was his dad. His mam's a Yorkshire lass. My cousin hates your EU with a passion. From what I read on his timeline, he's not alone. You should meet my German mate Ben, he told me I was more German than him, ha ha, personally I would have no problem with the Germans giving the euro socialist freeloaders a bodyswere and uniting with us Brits, let the peasants eat cake. |
