View Full Version : UK General Election 2017
So this is off topic but I figured a thread about the UK would be the best place in the BR for this.
I'm visiting London in the coming week, I would be down to meet Orgahs in the area who want to meet up for lunch or drinks and whatnot.
I'm in London on Wednesday and Thursday. Although I'll be working both days, doing a work related sports event on Wednesday and flying out early afternoon Thursday...
When are you in town and what area are you staying?

Well the Org is like a really weird second family to me. Ive been here a decade now and Ive already met five Orgahs in real life, had drinks with them, went on day trips with them, even crashed on their couches. It has been an overwhelmingly positive experience for me and I am always looking to expand on that.

I wasn't planning on being in London but I suppose I could get the train up on Wednesday.
Why London? Why?

I have plans made for Wednesday evening but I would be happy to work around your schedule. I am in London from Monday morning until Friday morning. Then I will be in Oxford with a day trip to the Flying Legends airshow on Sunday.
Where do you get all that money from, especially Norway is really expensive, but London isn't exactly cheap either, you will need pecunis and a lot of them

You must be hallucinating a magic money tree, because I see no infractions.

I mean I have been working and saving a good amount of money just for these instances so it's not a whole lot. Don't forget, I haven't really travelled in two years now so it's taken time to save up.
Better than alcohol and drugs I guess. I like travelling but I really need company I can't be alone, so it isn't akways easy to organse

Oh I prefer travelling alone. I get to see exactly what I want to see, go where I want to go, and eat what I want to eat. Downside is that it can be a bit lonely but I focus on what I am seeing at the present and its no big deal to be by myself.
Anyways, had a wonderful first day, saw the major landmarks, even managed to get myself properly lost by taking the wrong bus in the completely opposite direction of where I needed to go. At least the weather mostly held up.

Pro-tip: don't take the bus if you can manage it, take the Tube or walk.

Oh I agree, unfortunately the only way to get to the flat I am staying at is by bus if I dont want a 30 minute walk from the tube station.
It is a shame I am unable to meet you. In a critical 3 weeks which makes it impossible to do anything other than work, pretty much.

Luckily we were still in the EU when I decided to take a trip through some of Europe with just a backpack and some changes of clothes. Saved up a fortnight's leave and took the Eurostar to Gare du Nord, then hopped around various cities in different countries, picking out lesser talked about attractions along the way. Travelling by plane will never be as enjoyable as travelling by train, if you can make the time. Oh, and perhaps they've changed it by now, but back then the Metro made the Tube look modern.

And mind you I haven't left my home country yet. :laugh4: Just kidding.

May is denying publication of a report on Saudi funding of UK mosques. In a way, public policy in the UK is under constant manipulation. Not that there was any doubt that Britain was a foreign-owned neoliberal and Islamist playground for years now.

Funny thing is the saudi wahabbis only own 6% of the UK mosques, problem is the pakistani Deobandi own another 45% and are basically as bad as the wahabbis.

So, more than half of the mosques in England preach the Salafist stance on Islam?

About as much as they can get away with. Though the Deobandi would probably not like being called salafists.

That's weird. They always seemed like they were cut from the same cloth to me. OBL was a Salafi who was one of the key players to their movements after all.

On the other hand I'm not sure how far British Pakistanis would want to be associated with Saudi Arabians.

Salafists are arab supremacists. The deobandi are the section of islam the taliban operate under and there is a degree of cooperation when it comes to fighting against the west: a common enemy. Doesnt mean they wouldnt start killing eachother if there wasnt an enemy uniting them.

People think they deserve a job, without doing the necessary work to get it. Nobody ever helped me out.
[b]Got his job at a media agency through his father.
1. Corbyn's son works for McDonnell for 50k.
2. Len McCluskey's daughter works for Corbyn for 40k.
3. McDonnell's son works for Corbyn for 50k.
NB. Jeremy Corbyn is leader of the Labour party. John McDonnell is Corbyn's no.2, shadow chancellor. Len McCluskey is Corbyn's chief Union ally, who has pledged his union's funds to support Momentum.
NBB. MPs are not allowed to employ their own relatives.
NBBB. Momentum is a movement, independent of the Labour party, that supports Corbyn. It began life as Corbyn4Labour, and various parts of it (the bits dealing with the money) can still be found under that name.
And that's before you start looking at Ian Lavery and his use of union funds.
