They had some article about the proportion of white people arrested on suspicion of terrorist activities had risen to 40%.

I'd just like to know is how many of those arrested were convicted, and what was the proportion there?
Oh dear. Is diddums still upset that diddums got banned for sexist crap to some poor women who mistakenly posted in General? Or is diddums just projecting. Could it be your impotence that makes you use the smiley so often - bitterness at your lack of... anything really. Or perhaps you're just virtue signalling to your misogynistic, xenophobic, bitter, twisted, gammon faced mates? If you had any.
You need a chill pill mate, you're getting very wound up.Leave a comment:

The whole colour/race thing is stupid anyway. There's only one race of humans. Homo Sapiens. Amber Rudd, however, is definitely colourless.Leave a comment:

So apparently the term 'coloured' when used to refer a to non-white person is now considered racist...
Surely the world's gone mad?
