If the left didn't attack free speech and drive the neo pagan centrists on to football forums, he wouldn't have said it. They are the ones who need to apologise
Was looking this up as I know nothing about religion and had no real idea what it was and I found a great line in the description that sums it up "These movements have a close relationship to ritual magic and modern witchcraft"

Better watch with what you say in future as you might get turned into a toad if not careful!!
 
I was totally unaware but Seems to be a Story going around on social media that a couple (who are pictured) are trying to abduct kids from local supermarkets , this has been linked to asylum seekers and that hotel in Kirkby .

Just seen that it has , unsurprisingly, been refuted by the police as total BS. Some nasty stuff circulating out there .

It's just absolute garbage.

I live in the area, you see the odd one knocking about but otherwise they are out of sight.

Fazakerley, Croxteth, Kirkby, where this hotel is in the middle of are 99% white. Multiculturalism is not a thing round here.

Maybe I'am lucky in that I live in what would be considered one of the nice parts round here but still spend a lot of time in kirkby and don't see anyone who isnt a local person.

My Mrs is from Cumbria and works in an office on that road. She's not going in this week because she's afraid of what could happen round there.

I thought this was the most friendly, accommodating city in the whole entire world?

Never been the case in my experience.

I'll even go as far to say that significantly less friendly than London.

I think as a tourist it can be a very welcoming place.

As somebody who lives here, or moves here and lives outside of town it can be a very obnoxious, intolerant place to be.

If you dont act a certain way, or dress a certain way it can be a difficult place to live.

Aye. The central part of the city is welcoming, but there are enclaves in the city that are still backward in their mentality - paranoia still thrives.

This is shown by how the ASDA post has spiralled into a witch hunt when the cops have said no crime was ever committed, but that won't stop the rhetoric.

There was a similar post about a male at the Gyratory (Queen Sq.) who is accused of inappropriate behaviour towards a group of girls.

It may be true and the cops should investigate, but reading the comments the assumption is he's an asylum seeker, yet there is no evidence to substantiate it.

It's another case of trial by social media - a drumhead trial where anyone, rather than facing legitimate suspicion, is sentenced through rampant paranoia.

The incident the other night is nothing but summary justice; seeing a person on social media and instantly blaming foreigners isn't just bordering on prejudice.

Randomly there was a case not long ago , which was quite well publicised, where an actual asylum seeker did attack a few woman in the city centre . I’ve no idea why but it seemed to gather little public attention, I can only assume those who feast on these stories missed it .
