  Lolwut ? I want the drugs he’s on…

  Pakistani got the bomb in the 1990s and they genuinely are both a republic and a majority muslim (I’m not sure the exact definition of “Islamic Republic” he’s using.)

  On the other hand a single digit percentage of the UK population are Muslim (6%), and dude, we’ve been a monarchy for all bar a couple of decades of the last 1500 years.

  The Muslim thing is less a worry than trying to pretend one of the longest running monarchies around is a republic, I mean it’s just delusional.

  In the last millenium England has only been a republic for the couple of decades in the 1600s when Cromwell took over and executed the king. Scotland has been a monarchy the entirety of the last millenium, Wales has been under the English monarchy since the Normans finished slaughtering them in the 1300s.

    The King was stripped of power after the American Revolution in the Madness of King George. I think they sent the old bitch into a puzzle factory at some point. I hear he pissed blue sometimes too, he had something real going on medically.

    So 3 centuries of republican rule in truth. Plus the English wrested more power from their monarchy than the others with the Magna Carta and all.

  I mean, Israel’s going to have a more-Muslim population than the UK does.

  Israel: 18.0%

  United Kingdom: 6.0%

    Yes, BUT the UK doesn’t see muslims as subhuman.

  Burnham’s going to get right back to licking those boots.

  They are actively supplying israel with weapons for genocide and Netanyahu disrespects them???

  My guess is Burnham refuses to talk about it. Too much money is changing hands. If the genocide doesn’t bother him and insult won’t phase him.

    This also helps to rally the far right at home who think we’re overrun by Muslims. So it galvanises the sort of people Burnham supports.

  I guess this just makes him look like a jackass, which is a better look than some others he has.

    Sadly I doubt it will. The sycophants in the Labour party are bought and sold by the Israelis - they’ll roll over and show their tummy, they wouldnt want to stop those sweet sweet bribes donations

      The sycophants in the Labour party are by and large blackmailed by Israel as well, which deserves a mention with the bought and sold part.

      It’s true.
