Great to see you're fully committed to that. I'd love to see your ratio of teaching vs. shouting into the void. Engineering is an incredibly valuable and often under appreciated subject and needs more students, especially female ones, but it also needs to be taught by fully dedicated individuals.

Did you know? 98.0000001% of people are morons.

Changing the point I see....it's ok though, I'll play.

What just maintained by the US and Britain was he? Just him and his small group of followers in Iran then.....Jesus, the kool aid is laughable....I mean the reality that the western governments choose...unethically to back one group over another...that reality just isn't interesting enough for you.....Most of those in Iran and the middle east who complain about this don't even value western democracy much anyway.

That region has had its strong men forcing control over the majority for many thousands of years and you give me the 'history of the dimwit' narrative that its the fault of the west.

Stick your Iranian cloak on Stevie.....I bet they would love you down there.....Fetch a few dollars at least amongst those freedom lovers.

You asked me to reflect upon 1970s Iran in the context of what I'd just written.

Perhaps I misunderstood. How would you prefer to have me reflect upon 1970s Iran in the context of what I'd just written?

You said that everyone wants 'freedom, prosperity and security'.....apparently you have only met people like that in your much traveled life....or bubble perhaps...no perhaps that is a little unfair.

Anyway you're not quite right. The evidence is that while I'd agree that pretty much everyone desires security (even if their actions sometimes naively work against that) the others require refinement.

There is a demographic of people within non European countries who don't want 'prosperity'.....certainly in the western sense....even a few Europeans who reject it.

But the far larger problem with your statement is the 'freedom' part. I showed you a picture of Iran in the seventies to illustrate the reality that different cultures place different value systems upon concepts like freedom....one group may back it, while the other won't....much as we differ on certain ideas.

Whose freedom?, What freedom?.....In reality what you seem to be referring to is mostly a western concept....which for most of human history was in very very very short supply.

And many people died fighting for.....You know....not many 'citizens of nowhere' amongst that lot.

So your justification for more mass immigration is that it has already ruined the country so let it just continue?
Bonkers irrationality.

We have had control over non EU immigration. Successive governments have elected to allow vast numbers to come here against the wishes of the majority. And for what?

In the final analysis, it is clear as day that Islam is an undesirable culture. It promotes absurd religious dogma, sexism, misogyny, homophobia. Anti Western sentiment, terrorism, cruelty to animals, sectarianism, separatism and so on.
Do you consider anything on that list to be a good thing? Do you support these Islamic attitudes?

Genetic shades now get a mention. Nice.

Odd that you consider Hitler and Stalin to have only forced control over the majority to a much smaller extent. I thought most people felt comfortable with the idea that they were mass murdering psychopaths. Perhaps you consider them to have been of an acceptable genetic shade.
