Well the first idea is cretinous if you literally mean that, as the plane would crash, though I sort of agree with the sentiment. Just to let you know I work with quite a few Muslims and have not been beheaded.

Cretin ? Nice personal insult .

Decent comment piece on the panama papers by the independent. Thirty odd thousand 'shell' companies set up by British firms, for the avoidance of paying tax.

Poor form that the PM is allowed to make comment on other people's tax affairs, but no.10 spokesperson saying now that Camerons family tax affairs are a private matter.

[VinjayV4]

One hell of a protest in Iceland looks like TEN PERCENT of the country outside government HQ.

Oh by the way "national rat day" today...

Just wait till they're in the majority..........

VILLANOVA hang on to win the NCAA US College Basketball Championship; I often cheer on the underdogs so I see my teams lose a lot. Villanova is near Philadelphia apparently. Well done! It couldn't have been closer really, over North Carolina, where Michael Jordan played his college ball. Big colleges dominate gridiron but little colleges can win the basketball; but not that often.

Ive been wondering what happened to carlos and his pineapple haircut

[donnermeat]

The ban hammer should strike anyone that posts a picture of that odious little cretin. I'm serious.

This is a couple of weeks old but anyone see this catching on? From Littlejohn's Mail column

A video has emerged of hardline Shia Muslims flagellating themselves with razor-sharp blades attached to blood-drenched chains.

In Tooting.

The practice — known as zanjeer zani — is so barbaric, it’s even banned in Iran. But not, it seems, in South London.

Apparently, the video was shot in a marquee erected on a pay-and-display car park with the permission of Wandsworth Council.

Before we rush to judgment, we should remember that it is our duty to celebrate diversity.

Instead of forcing this vulnerable, oppressed minority underground, we should invite them to stage a demonstration of zanjeer zani at Wembley Arena. I’m sure people would pay good money to watch and it would be a perfect warm-up for the cage fighting.

Bloody idiots, behaviour from the Middle Ages. Really mirrors traditional England doesn't it ?

There's a video showing a ceremony with this happening in blackburn on youtube, it is bonkers but it only seems to be something that is practised by a certain small sect of the religion.

not for the faint hearted, but has to be seen to be believed https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ZO7xMAeqfo all looks very homoerotic to me, like a muslim S&m leather bar without the leather, alcohol and poppers though.

p.s. try not to laugh when the start crying(in such a fake way0 its sooo absurd

Actually it does. Sort of.........

The irony is that IS would kill them for being the 'wrong' type of Muslim.

Shia do seem to have a strong martyr/'woe is me' complex though...

Precisely my point, 1349. Other societies have grown up.

[Audax]

This is about a real small sect I take it in India, Sufis. But they have some odd practises in comparison. As the story says "graphic content".

It's not exclusively a Muslim pasttime - Look up Opus Dei.

I might go into work next week and speak to HR. Explaining that my taxes are a private matter and that I'm sending my wages to Panama. I'll let you know how I get on.....

Both are problems. There's no logic to this argument that keeps being made that a problem ceases to be a problem because a bigger one exists. Should the government disband the police force because climate change isn't being solved? Crime is nothing compared to making the planet uninhabitable so lets ignore every other instance of breaking the law until that's sorted out.
