Sarcasm is not your strongest point, Boaz.

>>Pericles.. poor gullible me... 'believing' the EDL version of events at Leicester... how silly of me. Of course I should bow my head in humble penance<<

We are aware that there isn't the faintest possibility that you can admit that you are wrong. Nevertheless, it is still worth pointing it out to you every so often.

>>Same footage.. pretty much but from a better perspective where you can see the whole event<<

The quality of the video is far better, no doubt about that.

>>...it's plain as day that "LionHeart" our EDL covert canine operative (specially trained for this task) went forward and grabbed and dragged the constable back<<

On the contrary, the improved quality simply underlines my point - the positions of the individuals, their actions and their reactions, are inconsistent with any involvement of the dog, and entirely consistent with a missile hitting the policeman.

The real revelation from the improved-quality video, though, is the close-up-and-personal view of the people you now associate yourself with, Boaz.

What a delightful bunch of thugs they are, to be sure!

Did you show the clip of your new best buddies to your daughter, as I suggested?

I'm dying to find out what she thinks.

Dear Pericles

//On the contrary, the improved quality simply underlines my point - the positions of the individuals, their actions and their reactions, are inconsistent with any involvement of the dog, and entirely consistent with a missile hitting the policeman.//

and...now you know why I began that new thread.

"Politics and Perception"

If the facts suggest I'm wrong..I'll admit it.

Others have viewed the material including a 'frame by frame' examination and the conclusion supports what I said far more than what you said.

The 'facts' as I observe them clearly show the policeman appearing to be 'dragged backward' and our 'covert canine' is right there and his body action/movement supports this.

If the facts are clear.. what does that say about your politics dear P ?

Multiculturalism has failed in so far as to its inadequate attention
to the systemic power that constitutes whiteness as the hidden norm from which “difference” is measured. For white people oblivious to the propensity and invisibility of their own subjectivity, the default is always to return to white ethno - nationalistic defensiveness. Hence they echo each other ad nauseam by declaring over and over again "We can't really tell you what our whiteness and privilege is about - but we want everyone that is not white to aspire to this unexplained and exemplar model of citizenry".

If multiculturalism has failed then it not the fault of those who it attempted to shield and make prosper, but rather those who wanted it to fail.

Comedy is often best served with a classic one-liner, Boaz.

>>If the facts suggest I'm wrong..I'll admit it.<<

Now that IS funny.

Have a great day.

<<Multiculturalism has failed in so far as to its inadequate attention>>

So multiculturalism has failed because we haven't had enough of it!
France has had a much stiffer dose of it than us and look what's happening there.

<<If multiculturalism has failed then it not the fault of those who it attempted to shield and make prosper,
but rather those who wanted it to fail.>>
Rainier's cri de coeur sounds like those apologists for other failed ideologies:
Communism failed because of those wicked capitalists who wanted it to fail!
But let's try again because WE can make it work,
if we could just eliminate the opposition!

Why must all these dystopian ideologues insist on trying to inflict their dreams on others?
They inevitably turn to nightmares.

We haven't had enough of workable multiculturalism in the same way we haven't had enough of 'save the economy by spending more' :)

Pericles, ur priceless. You just demonstrated my point :) and I am having a great day.. back at ya.
