Ah it's brilliant.... really easy read too, depending on how much time you have and how fast you read you'll be done with it really quickly I'd imagine! Chapter 3 is the one where he was specifically talking about this

Just read some chapters of Omar el Akkad's book. The last bit that I read was several pages on this exact point and the inherent flaws in liberalism. It'a a great book

This from the bloke who recently aped Enoch Powell in saying that he felt like we were becoming an island of strangers. Erm yes Kier, if you normslise and perpetuate racism in mainstream discourse, then don't be surprised if it becomes more prevalent. You're a key factor in it's return FFS.

If you put up a union jack or George’s Cross in middle of a hate campaign against migrants, asylum seekers & people of colour that used those flags as branding, you knew what you were doing even if you didn’t have sufficient courage in your abysmal convictions to say it. This must be said.

I'm unsure if it's a particularly difficult question? For me it's 'Are this group a proto fascist group'. Answer 'Probably, yes'. They certainly won't be increasing levels of safety, a group of men like this standing outside school gates in the very definition of unsafe!

Oh haha are you arguing for the whole GWP* stuff around methane yeah? I'm well aware of these debates, you're engaging in denialism pure and simple. Honestly, I'll not be debating arguing with you online further. Either you totally misunderstand the science here or you're acting in bad faith.

*we're not where! We can't just focus on burning ff's.....there are so many more dimensions to the current crisis than just CO2 emissions. We must of course completely transitions away from FF, but food production is not immune from needing to transition either.

What's AGW? anthropogenic global warming? Animal agriculture accounts for between 12-18% of global GHG emissions as far as I'm aware? In the UK I think that the figure is 11%. It's the single biggest source of Methane emissions in the UK. Where in a climate and ecological crisis too, yes target ff
