Talking of lies - Labour had the only costed manifesto so clearly DID say how they would be paid for.

Dianne Abbott?

Agreed that is what she has done - but it speaks volumes about the woman that she would spend £1billion cementing her own position rather than spend it on schools, hospitals and police.

Continue as a minority government. DUP hate Corbyn so would not vote against the Tories for fear of putting him in power via another election. If paying £1billion for the support of a party that would have supported her anyway is the extent of her negotiating skills I hate to think what will...

How many nurses, teachers, police or firemen could that £1 billion have funded? Absolute disgrace.

Something I have always wanted to see (and photograph). A baby cuckoo in the nest of another bird - in this case a reed warbler that is feeding it a wasp.

Thanks for the kind words! Love your butterfly photos - have tried butterflies a few times but not really got on with them. May try again this summer.

Thanks :)

Just found out one of my photos has been shortlisted for the British Wildlife Photography Awards 2017 :) Don't hold out a lot of hope as there are some seriously good wildlife photographers out there but nice to be shortlisted.

Agreed that every Jihadi is a muslim - in the same way that Klu Klux Klan are Christian. Not sure how we should be aiming to influence muslims though? Seeking their help to identify extremists absolutely (remember the Manchester attacker was actually flagged to authorities by his mosque). I...

Me too - would be interested in the stats but couldn't find any up to date figures.

"What goes around comes around" was said which basically infers they deserved it

As I've already said more Muslims have been killed by ISIS than non-muslims (worldwide) so why simply refer to the Jihadis as Muslims if not to stir up the kind of hatred that led to today's attack?

I believe you but because the Irish conflict was very much along religious lines it was probably more relevant - the fact that ISIS have killed more muslims than non muslims makes it absurd to simply refer to them as "Muslims"

Couldn't find up to date figures but article here show attacks on muslims were hugely increasing in 2015: https://www.theguardian.com/society/2016/jun/29/incidents-of-anti-muslim-abuse-up-by-326-in-2015-says-tell-mama Article here highlights 3 attacks in just one week...

Most just called them the IRA but the conflict was to a certain extent Catholics on one side Protestants on the other. A bit different to constantly referring to Jihadis simply as Muslims

Rubbish! I lived in Croydon (unfortunately!) 20+years ago and there were hundreds of thousands of Muslims and no hint of trouble. The MI5 are occupied by Jihadi terrorists/extremists NOT Muslims so no it is not clear that Muslims are a major issue. (although I note from your post the other day...

Not sure what point you are making? My point is that people are using the word "Muslim" in situations where "extremist" or "Jihadi terrorist" should be used. No-one when discussing the Klu Klux Klan would simply refer to them as Christians so why refer to Jihadis as Muslims?

Fully agree but sadly some seem to think that these innocent victims somehow deserved it :(

Only from people who think "muslims" and "Jihadi terrorists" are the same - ie f*cking morons. ISIS have killed more muslims than non-muslims. In terrorist attacks they have killed indiscriminately including killing Muslims. Muslims have lived in this country for decades with no problems...
