Funny thing is that's exactly what they've done.
What would things have been like if every security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive? Or if during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? The Organs would quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!

All knives should be limited to a ten stab capacity.

Just saw a photo of the dead suspect. Could speculate as to his origin. Any idea how long it may take police to comment on who he was?

Using such a broad brush is ultimately in poor faith. The majority of Muslims in the UK aren't violent, nor terroristic, and the issues that do exist within the Muslim community can be addressed with the utmost vigilance without casting blame at that entire minority population.


People need scapegoats, and this sort of thing makes a convenient justification for casual racism.

Fake Corbyn tweet

A fake tweet purporting to have been sent by Jeremy Corbyn is circulating on WhatsApp, reports suggest.

The doctored image appears to show the Labour leader calling the police killing of the London Bridge attacker "murder".

Fake images of this kind are trivially easy to create.


Well didn't take long for the political shitstirring to start.

Oh right I forgot it's only true assimilation if the group in question gives up everything that makes them in any way different to white people.

Also a knife attack in the Hague, the Netherlands. Three wounded confirmed, one death rumoured. The attack took place inside a Hudsons Bay store, which was having a "closing down/black friday sale" amidst very crowded streets.

It is unknown if there is a link with London or that someone took an item the stabber wanted. The stabber is described as a 40 year old Turkish man.

I know that Americans have a very shaky grasp of world geography, but the Hague is not in the UK..nor is the Netherlands.

Pretty sure when people say assimilation, most mean integration. Integration is very important because without it, a society often will go full on balkans. You can either settle for integration or deal with America becoming alternative ulster
