Hard News: Party on, dudes, in reply to Bart Janssen,
But PAS is also a place where you are allowed to have your opinion changed and admit it. It’s OK to be wrong here. That really is an important thing.
I very strongly endorse this comment.

Hard News: Why did Stephen die?, in reply to Sofie Bribiesca,
Bomber has published Stephen McIntyre’s description of what happened.
That’s intimidation.
I don't think it's possible to see it any other way -- and I'm certain Stephen's account was honest and factual. A man died at least partly as a result of it. I'm hoping this story doesn't just disappear.

Hard News: Crossing the line into idle bigotry, in reply to Angus Robertson,
Now explain to me again why the editor of the Waikato Times wouldn’t know this.
Because it probably doesn’t come up much in general conversation.
Actually, I give up.

I have taken pains to specifically acknowledge the wide diversity of the Muslim world
And without visiting the Swat Valley to investigate! Top work. Now explain to me again why the editor of the Waikato Times wouldn't know this.

Angus: the contention was not that corrupt Saudi princes bankroll the salafists -- I don't think there's any doubt about that.
The contention was that Muslims by their very nature are dangerous and will destroy our societies from within if they are allowed to breed.
Do you believe the latter is true?

Here’s Dr Peter Hammond’s The Pink Agenda – Sexual Revolution & The Ruin of The Family in South Africa.
Among its many claims: that the “international gay movement” seeks “the lowering of the age of consent for sex with children, especially boys, and the normalisation of paedophilia”.
Where do you propose we send a reporting team to determine the truth of that one, Angus?

Hard News: Crossing the line into idle bigotry, in reply to Angus Robertson,
The columnist has written an opinion piece on the attempted murder of a Pakistani school girl. The columnist has shown demonstratable research and with quotations and everything.
Oh, please. Cox has made up his word-length with a Garth George-style copy-paste of one "enemy within" tract by an extremist nutbar who froths about the "homosexual agenda" and the evils of secular education, and shot at trick-or-treating children with paintball guns because Halloween is an "occult holiday celebrating human sacrifice, witches and goblins."
I seriously doubt he even read Hammond's book. You may wish to compare Cox's column with this "Christian survival resource".
This is research, Angus? Really?
That the editorial staff of the Waikato Times apparently doesn’t contain sufficient expertise on the internal politics of the Swat Valley to dispute the research – this is not surprising.
Are you seriously contending that it is necessary to send a reporting team to the Swat Valley to be able to tell whether this bunch of odious racial conspiracies is unreliable?
FFS, Angus.

This seems relevant.
An out-of-control mob of Sydney cops tortured a terrified young man to death in the street.

Capture: Art On The Street, in reply to Craig Ranapia,
If anyone would like me to stop boring them with my holiday snaps, speak now or I’ll go on forever. :)
Oh, carry on! It's like you were waiting for the day.
