    Basically a sikh guy stabbed a British student

    Note the biased language: both Digwa and Henry Nowak are British, both having British nationality and both having been born here. But you call one Sikh and the other British (and if you’re using the term to describe ethnicity, Nowak was Polish-British). So are you insinuating that only white people are really British?

    So you sound like a Reflux supporter, and even if not, you are arguing a lot of bullshit in bad faith just like they do. At least, those who can communicate in anything other than grunts and bellows of rage.

    I think if we publicly executed people who carried out these atrocities [blah blah blah saloon-bar bore hang 'em and flog 'em rant]

    Better idea: jail them. And also jail those who want to encourage the return of medieval barbarities, which were not about justice at all, but were instead a means of reinforcing state terror.

      No, it’s just “a sikh british guy stabbed a non-sikh british guy” is a mouthful. I don’t put hidden meanings in my messages. I do admit that I am generally around people who are right wing (I’m usually seen by them as quite left lol) so I apologise if I word things in ways which may not be the most tactful, I might pick up and mimic terminology that other people are using. For example, once I accidentally called my transgender friend a slur as I simply didn’t realise it was a slur, although I did have another transgender friend who was using the word, but again, that’s on me. I appreciate the correction, though.

      What’s a reflux supporter?
