A blank manifesto by the looks of things. <a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cy0n14ywzqpo">https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cy0n14ywzqpo</a> 2024-12-28T22:50:27Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsrn72ln3m6rhnzlaxczw2rmwmnyttmhaqzwndsdzzpsmrla5wn04gzyrdeu2aa2a45gldn4cxcpy8srrj5hcqamv40tewgydnzcw9j9kcnj8evnts In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsppsggzlhg463zst4de8em928rg7mgfrnanwxhyk4ngzn8tj3yqlcfe6cp2'>nevent1q…6cp2</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Extremely clever stuff, executed with great precision. <br/><br/>Sadly, our government is full of incompetent, arrogant individuals.

Christian and Jewish extremism too. Head of State is head of church. How&#39;s that even possible. Put that question to Reform, for instance.

From what I&#39;ve read, looks like he&#39;s trying to reach moderate religious audiences and perhaps (or at least in his view), that&#39;s a good approach. Many people from all Abrahamic &#39;faiths&#39; are brainwashed beyond belief. 2024-12-01T11:00:07Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsfhnuduc0ae84jmz54g4efkmt6qv30es0c0efgjxkwfj3rz8mc3mczyrdeu2aa2a45gldn4cxcpy8srrj5hcqamv40tewgydnzcw9j9kcnj8hvr5h In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs80hv23udpf4kxqtsa4fwp5jmk2l4g4mue8tq2xzsn33j3es6uq5gws5pdc'>nevent1q…5pdc</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Personally, I believe in secularism. Religion should be banned from everyday life. People should be free to practice in their own time, out of schools, law, government, business, etc. We have to be realistic though. If the Head of State is the local &#39;rep&#39; of Mr God for the UK, that&#39;s not happening anytime soon. This is why imo the discussion is relevant. Books and teachings have not changed dramatically. Humans interpreting them have. I think this is what Malik is trying to articulate. 2024-12-01T10:38:33Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqswedqh8zgs3h3ce5l30fn3wxvstxuhawe5dgvftg2u5vmk6f6nv6czyrdeu2aa2a45gldn4cxcpy8srrj5hcqamv40tewgydnzcw9j9kcnjugpsuc In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsdns649ffxhs0m2dvhpcmk5fd7nxywecvh3jx3kz93dnjludgvfkqkc3fya'>nevent1q…3fya</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>In fairness, he advocated the very same point in the article - people have the last word. He gives the example of how Christians changed their mind on what they used to call &#39;witches&#39; and also points out that &#39;as a Muslim&#39; Mahmood saying she could not vote for the Bill is fundamentally wrong because other Muslims would have voted for it based on their wider beliefs. He says that the so called God hasn&#39;t changed his &#39;view&#39; over the centuries but humans &#39;believing&#39; in him have. 2024-12-01T10:26:48Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsda3vrlzcdpsv0pqsn24ze2v69avs9nu54h6hktld42pastl7tszczyrdeu2aa2a45gldn4cxcpy8srrj5hcqamv40tewgydnzcw9j9kcnjhczypj Wow! What a nasty piece of work.<br/><br/>Millions of people live in areas with constant noise and distractions. They can&#39;t afford to just &#39;move&#39;. And where did the young Starmer move to.

The only way for Scotland to remain a European-style democracy is a return to its status of a sovereign country but it seems like around half of the population either don&#39;t want that or lack mental capacity to understand the real problem. 2024-09-15T10:51:52Z
