>Princess of Wales: Kate image withdrawn by three news agencies amid 'manipulation' concerns
>Three photo agencies have retracted a picture of the Princess of Wales over concerns it has been "manipulated".
>The image, taken by Prince William and issued by Kensington Palace for Mother's Day, showed Catherine with their three children.
>But Associated Press was the first to pull the image as it "did not meet" the agency's photo standards. The agency noted an "inconsistency in the alignment of Princess Charlotte's left hand".
>Kensington Palace declined to comment.
>The photo shows the princess sitting down, surrounded by Princess Charlotte, Prince Louis and Prince George, the latter wrapping his arms around her.
>It was the first official photo of the Princess of Wales since her abdominal surgery two months ago. Since then she has stayed out of the public eye.
>The image was posted on the Prince and Princess of Wales's social media accounts with a message from Catherine which said: "Thank you for your kind wishes and continued support over the last two months.
>"Wishing everyone a Happy Mother's Day."The latest edition of the iconic thread.

We've gone from "religion is the opiate of the masses" to "let's allow religious hardliners to make public life unsafe for queers". Amazing.

>>1841584It's about 500k between Pakistanis and Indians, 300-400k for Bangladeshis.
What you ignore is, most Asians, have been here for 3 or 4 generations, and are not new immigrants, we would have gone through the education system like anyone else.
I'm not sure you are correct on the provinces part, immigration tends to involve today, more educated and wealthy individuals who recieve lower class status and work once coming here, like Iraqi doctors.
I doubt the whole "deeply religious people who place a lot of value in their morals", many of us Asians, and those who are muslims, many are non-practicing or ocassionally practice, any religious education stems from and stops at childhood.
Rather I see the trend of whether it be jews, muslims, or christians, adopting their religions to more progressive values, or letting it be as a culture and being athiest or secular, while keeping said identity

I am not sure if you are suggesting the anon you are replying to is right, but I'll assume you are saying this is what he thinks rather than yourself.
I would say that is a massive stereotype, and completely incorrect, divorced from reality, people have integrated, the only ghettos here are not religious enclaves, but they are poor and devastated.

People forget the racism here, and people should also acknowledge gay people aren't infallable, I would bet most white gay people, are most likely more racist than not against many brown people, stemming from a conversation with a friend.

This is an unbelievable degree of delusion, and it's incredibly insulting.
LGBT people in those regions, and many other islamic majority regions, are subject to state execution, or public lynching. Often by stoning or being throw from rooftops.
As racist as our government is, I do not remember the last time they stoned someone to death of threw them from a rooftop for being brown, not even in rural parts of the country.
To compare the treatment of LGBT people in Afghanistan to being brown in rural England is a sick.

>>1841593But that's what I am saying though, he is a grifter and he is appealing to religious reactionaries, like I get people are saying "not all Muslims" and they're correct but it doesn't need to be. It doesn't need to be the case that religious people are all snarling homophobes who want homosexuality to be illegal for them to think that being gay is wrong and they don't want it "normalised" by having it taught neutrally at school and therefore support the Galloway Grift.
It's actually quite nice when homophobes out themselves with ridiculous rants about nature and god but the reality is that as with most kinds of prejudice, it's perpetuated more by people nodding silently to homophobic sentiments like those espoused by Galloway than those who run around with signs that says "god hates fags".

>>1841593Has Galloway always been a ranging homophobe or has he just adopted these view with the explicit goal to appeal to homophobes and the 'anti-woke' crowd?

Corbyn is like a cool granddad, he doesn't quite get it but he's got the spirit.
No.1841624
>>1841616No, because they won't debase themselves and undermine their own cause in order to do so. If Corbyn could only get into an election debate by riding the coat-tails of some far-right figure, he wouldn't big up that far-right figure. Galloway, on the other hand, was gleefully bigging up Alex Salmond during his Scottish Unionist jaunt in 2020 because he knew that Salmond had to get into the debate for him to have a case for getting in. This is an incoherent action if you believe Galloway had unionism's best interests at heart, but perfectly sensible if you know he had George Galloway's best interests at heart.
Corbyn runs for election in order to advance certain politics. Galloway advances certain politics in order to run for election. He may well believe those politics - he can believe more strongly than Corbyn for all it matters - it would not change this.
No.1841626
>>1841625You're misreading. Corbyn would run as a leftist, so his opposite would be a rightist. Galloway ran as a unionist (indeed, the ultra-Unionist, the i'm-voting-tory-in-the-constituency-to-stop-the-SNP unionist), Salmond ran as a nationalist - the opposite of a unionist. The point is that Galloway engaged in boosterism for the side he was purportedly trying to stop in an attempt to secure electoral advantage for himself, while Corbyn would lose instead of taking such an opportunist path. (He is famously bad at this!)

>>1841569>>1841607As I said in this post, it doesn't need to be full on righteous homophobia to have support over these ideas. Even if religious people in the UK are only ticking "somewhat agree" to the idea that homosexuality is wrong and not to be taught in schools but also imagine "strongly agree" to be harsh and punishments for homosexuality in far more fundamentalist religious nations to be unacceptable then that's workable in our society, but for grifting politicians like Galloway, "Somewhat Agree" is still a potential vote.
Like we don't need to jump to conclusions and presume that religious people who agree with the sentiment are horrible bigots who passionately despise gay people, but that homosexuality is wrong is what all abrahamic religions say and if their religion is important to them, they're gonna side with what's written in their religious text, perhaps consciously against their better judgment, than side with people who aren't religious and let's face it most of us ITT and people who are pro-LGBT aren't.
This isn't an endorsement of Galloway, or preaching about accepting bigotry as diversity, it's just the simple reality behind politicking for religious votes.
