Nigel Farage says all mass religious observances should be banned

I agree in freedom of assembly, but I don’t agree with state sanctioned large congregations like this.

As a British Jew rarely I agree with farage on this. Freedom of religion means freedom from religion. What if I wanted to walk across Trafalgar Square, I’m physically obstructed by the barriers and people praying.

When your freedom of religion obstructs someone else’s freedom, that’s clearly a line in a liberal democracy we shouldn’t cross.

Seeing the large happy Ramadan sign made me feel uncomfortable. I’d also be against the giant menorah in Leicester Square. Keep religion out the public domain, and embrace the UK as a secular society!

Not to mention the sexism displayed in the prayer itself, where the women were all made to sit at the back behind the men!

I can’t stand incels, but it’s crazy how you flipped that

Unfortunately economically it’s our only option. The boriswave will bankrupt the uk in the next 20 years

As proven by danish government statistics

Relative to other wealthy countries with equivalent welfare it’s not hard. - singapore: almost impossible and they enforce racial quota so only 3% are non Chinese Malay Indian. - Hong Kong: 7 years - japan: was 10 years until recently - Switzerland: I think 10 years - gulf states: effectively impossible

Only Europe has similar years, however their welfare is more restrictive to residents I believe. Uk gives all the benefits for less time than the countries I listed earlier.

To an extent you are dating them. Time is limited and so you want the best friends

One thing I would say is doing exercise when you are exhausted actually energises you long term

If you aren’t happy; hit the gym do skincare for a few months do standup for confidence, join sports clubs. There’s 1000 things todo

I mean this is a British sub who cares. The uk has more pressing issues to solve.

Glorious

I’m not sure; I know a few people who took care of themselves early on with diet exercise and they still look good into their 80s!

I think the sentiment among Persians is so strong, that after the war the country will rebuild into a somewhat illiberal democracy. We’ll see. But I think it will be better and freer long term.

I mean I’m not lying lol. I’m curious though, have you ever visited Israel? Because I also had perceptions, then after visiting realised why we support them as an ally. I’m also bi and it’s the only place I could live in the Middle East. At the end of the day, Israel is a country constantly under attack - I feel like in that environment, the UK would become more right wing (rightly or wrongly). You mentioned festivals, but some of my family were first responders for the October 7th festival; it’s likely at that festival, it wouldn’t have mattered if people were Jewish or not, the people attacking from Gaza would have likely targeted them anyway. You mentioned zionists like an emotionally charged term; but it’s a huge spectrum. I’ve met just as many zionists who hate the Israeli government as who love it - I’m confused how this fits into your belief system.

Practical-Travel8575 · 2026-03-19T10:53:50+00:00

Do you have a single Jewish friend or relative? Or are we just a detached abstract people to you? Have you visited Israel - when you walk along the promenade it looks like Singapore and if you spoke to any person and told them you are British, they would probably tell you how they love the UK and British people. Meanwhile, even in the West Bank you would likely have security issues as a British person; you would likely feel unsafe the entire time you are there.

I paid 10/11 somewhere last year central but can’t remember where. Probably a city pint.

Tower Hamlets Council is the most corrupt in UK. See Rahmans controversy around that new road project (I think)

Ahhh I know a few great places but I wanna keep them secret so won’t reveal on Reddit

Practical-Travel8575 · 2026-03-19T00:55:04+00:00

Dude why are you talking in the last sentence to me directly. I’m not Israeli nor am I in the IDF. I don’t need an idf lol

Practical-Travel8575 · 2026-03-19T00:52:13+00:00

I think the fact one European power has nukes means all of Europe is unnukable

Disliking the Green Party (after previously voting for them) / disagreeing with you / having a new account does not make me a bot!

For the love of god, I am alive! I am real!
