My point was that this “harmonious society” notion - as enacted in the real world - not causing terrorism exerts lethal consequences in other ways that get less media attention and arise in an insidious fashion.
Linking minimal terrorism to harmonious societies might be tenuously correct, but it ignores too much to be a worthwhile conclusion.
Of course it’s a worthwhile conclusion. Australia has had many terrorist attacks in the past few years. As has France and England and the US. Japan has had none. Mono-cultural societies is a factor.
I see these terror attacks by Uighur Muslims as desperate attempts to fight back against Communist rule. The Uighurs see them as being mistreated by the Chinese Government, forced to pray in Mandarin and to have a Han Chinese living with them at home so their daily living will be scrutinised.
I also think the re-education concentration camps are plain wrong because the Chinese Government think all Uighurs are potential terrorists, which is not the case.
I am currently watching the BBC News coverage have to say… this is just a shambles… I actually feel sorry for her. She’s been trying to get her deal across. I understand there were concerns about the deal, so with a no deal brexit looking likely - what happens to the border between UK and Ireland? That’s been a contentious issue.
My worry is that the will of the people’s original vote is being ignored.
There won’t be Brexit without a deal, the indicative votes earlier in the week made at least that much clear.
I suspect the second round of negotiations (which had been intended to occur during the transition period between now and the end of next year) will need to be settled and integrated into a more detailed exit deal before MPs will support it. Things like a detailed trade agreement, treaties, bilaterals, whatever. May’s deal has left too many doors/risks open (most critically the backstop).
The only way that can happen is with a long extension, and probably a new PM.
This is what happens to the border between UK and Ireland
I don’t its the worst deal.
Most people don’t want the vote. The vote was done on a work day where many people who work and would reject the referendum would say no. It was a shambles. If you are going to have a referendum then the whole of the country should have had the best opportunity to vote. Most people DO NOT want Brexit. I even know some that voted for Brexit thinking it would be a certain thing that never eventuated. The public were lied to.
IMO Brexit will never happen. The parliament are putting it off making it look impossible to have an excuse for another referendum with the possibility of it being rejected.
Will a new prime minister have any hope of getting any Brexit legislation passed in the Commons? It seems unlikely.
Theresa May has announced she will step down as British Prime Minister on June 7.
Watched the press conference, I couldn’t help but laugh at her, I have no sympathy or empathy whatsoever. She should have delivered a Brexit on 29th March. She had an opportunity to do that, but she didn’t. The arrogance of this prime minister in Britain is truly telling.
Now the game of thrones - British style begins 
The protests made world news on several occasions.
im sorry this is not good enough carrie lam needs to resign
Boris Johnson showing his guitar skills. Total doofus.
She should have done this two months ago, but better late than never. Hopefully this will ease tensions in the city between the protesters and the police.
