Am I reading this wrong or is he denying a rape allegation that isn't even directed at him?

Like, the article says a woman reported she was raped by a 50 year old man in westminster, and then subsequently that Danzcuck has denied it was him.

He even says the police haven't asked him about it. :psyduck:

Why though? I mean even if it were for the purely pragmatic reason that yoof lean further left? It's not like they're incapable of making the decision. I can't really see any good reason not to do it, other than doing it is partisan?

When was the vote lowered to 18 in Britain? I'm sure if you looked at letters to the editor at the time it'd be the exact same loving arguments against letting 18 year olds vote, because I know they were in Australia.

And why is it OK for millions of animals a year to live miserable lives and die gruesome deaths just for meat for urbanites, but a handful of foxes cant be killed to maintain a cherished part of rural traditional culture?

It's not ok, it's just not something you can't legislate against, because you'll be crushed. People have loving stupid ideas about meat.

How many people even died in the Eastern bloc specifically due to Soviet policy after 1945? The famines were already over by that time. Definitely nowhere near the millions that would have died in a nuclear exchange and Soviet invasion of western Europe.

Can they not keep quiet until the election is over? loving idiots.

Although I do think ISIS are a completely different situation to all the other terrorist factions. ISIS were made by western foreign policy, but I think it is a bolted horse situation. They are basically a violent death cult and I don't think leaving the middle east will actually stop them pursuing terrorism. We've created a real monster and I don't know how we fix it. I don't think anyone has the answer beyond creating a super weapon that can kill all the ISIS members in one go. Which will also include women and children.

I think Corbyn and the hawks both think of ISIS as something like Alqaeda who CAN be reasoned with, or in terms of the hawks, have rational goals that can be prevented by the use of force. They're really not.

A while back so sorry if this has been addressed, but ISIS is absolutely hosed. They're in their death throes now. There's absolutely no need to reason with them, because they're a spent force. Turns out arming secular socialists and protecting them against our own allies in the region was the answer to defeating ISIS.
