On the Post-Colonialist Islamification of Western Europe?

"You Can't Go Back to the Isle of Dogs!"


ts eliot, "The Wasteland" (excerpt)

               The river sweats
               Oil and tar
               The barges drift
               With the turning tide
               Red sails
               Wide
               To leeward, swing on the heavy spar.
               The barges wash
               Drifting logs
               Down Greenwich reach
               Past the Isle of Dogs.
                                 Weialala leia
                                 Wallala leialala

               Elizabeth and Leicester
               Beating oars
               The stern was formed
               A gilded shell
               Red and gold
               The brisk swell
               Rippled both shores
               Southwest wind
               Carried down stream
               The peal of bells
               White towers
                                Weialala leia
                                Wallala leialala

Even the "mythical" cultural Wasteland of which Eliot spoke is unattainable for the English working class today, Weialala leia, Wallala leialaia.

Now Les Carpenter, THAT is some really funny shit, coming from leftist Scum like you, Sustaining fear and loathing of the "other" is your only reason for coming here! You don't propose any policies, or for that matter anything at all.. to make the country better!
In my opinion, I don’t give a frogs ass about who endorses a political Candidate of any party or in your case any Dictator. You can take your opinions and stick them all up your Puny Ass for all I car about YOU and your Moronic Name Calling Buddy
Your too dumb to understand anything that I would call sensible, or rational anyway!
