I very much doubt this is good. Saudi Arabia will stay woman-hating, but they'll use this position in the UN to block progress.
This is exactly it. Plus, it is trying to make themselves look better and create a kind of smoke screen so people focus less on the human rights violations for women in Saudi Arabia.
I also suspect the US didn't block the membership of Saudi Arabia because they have simmular agendas when it comes to abortion. Also, I suspect human rights and especially women's rights are low on the current administration's agenda. Our Foreign Minister refuses to say what the Norwegian vote was. This makes me suspect we at least didn't vote against SA, probably because our country is more dependent on the US than almost anybody for our security.
I doubt abortion was the issue (I am sure Trump has paid for many.) That being said I have no idea how anyone could overlook the positively medieval role of women in SA. Particularly being under "ownership" of your father then husband. I consider it legal slavery. Oh no, am I sounding to feminist? :v
In general it is considered a dirty word. And I am a huge feminist because I believe I am equal to any man and should be treated as such. And I think more men should think of themselves as feminist if they believe their Wife, Daughter, Sister, Aunt, Mom, Friend(s) should be treated as equals and with respect. Simple as that {[]

This is terrible news. The more attacks happen and the more I hear governments saying "our prayers are with the victim's families" the more I think the West is behaving a little bit like towards Hitler in 1938, they called it the appeasement policy back then. I seriously think there is no peaceful resolution with ISIS, the caliphate should be destroyed as soon as possible, the current actions being held by the U.S. and other NATO nations are not enough. Sure - it will not end terrorist attacks forever but by making them weaker and destroying the place where they are training and making money will slow them down big time. All the attacks are being executed by soldiers but the brains and money are over there in the caliphate.
It's not as easy as you think.
Keep in mind, that many islamists grew up in the West, we know that some are radicalised over the net and so far, islamists have been like a monster: you cut off one head (eg Bin Laden) athoer speads out somewhere else immediately.
My thoughts are with the victims and people of London

The IS terrorist attacks in the West increase BECAUSE they are losing militarily in Iraq and Syria. They need to stay relevant to their supporters somehow.

Most radicalisation happens face to face with recruiting taking place on the street. It's far more prevalent than you'd think.
This is another terrible attack.
The prime minister is on the TV prattling on about last nights attack in London ,spouting out ooh how sad we are ,those jolly naughty isis boys ,and loads of other political correct rubbish ,about it being every one elses fault ,except the government .
But its not her children being blown to bits ,its not her sons or daughters or husband and wives, as long as its the ordinary man in the street being killed ,nothing will ever get done ,What we need to hear is her to say ,we know who these people are ,and next week the SAS the SBS will wipe this scum of the face of the earth .Its all meaningless words to some one who has lost a little girl in Manchester ,or knowing that they have to spend the rest of their lives caring for a child with no legs .
For gods sake grow a spine, grow some balls and eradicate this filth from our country

I know it's not that easy, that's why I said it will not end the attacks forever. But please note that before circa 2012 the attacks were less frequent - that's because the Al-Quade was under constant pressure from U.S. forces, the leadership had not that much money because they didn't have a whole damn "country" which would enable them not only drug trading and human trafficking but also oil extraction. The ISIS has a sh*tload of money and that's what scares me the most - look at their guns, vehicles, bombs or the video materials they post - everything is professional and the more time they have with control over a such huge region, the more advanced they will get. I know that, fortunately, the caliphate is smaller now then it was 2 years ago, but the pressure should be higher. Dealing with the caliphate may not resolve the problem but it may help to keep the attention around radicalizing - which I think happens more often over the internet than face to face. Let's face it - radicals will always be out there, but without a back up like ISIS the danger is definitely lower, me myself I would feel much safer without the whole caliphate supporting radicals in Europe by training them, teaching how to build bombs, handle assault rifles like a black-op and other stuff.
I absolutely understand your point of view Higgins and I honestly think that neither You or me are right, because there is not a truly great solution in this whole situation.
STOP THE PRESSES BREAKING NEWS
the prime minister says last nights attacks were dreadful 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-)
ISIS ooohh we are now really scared.
please some one go and tell mr and mrs joe public that their daughter was slaughtered last night by religious maniacs ,but its ok the prime minister says it was dreadful ,you couldn't make it up folks .
Apparently political campaigning has been suspended... again... and the election is on Thursday. With the polls (yes, I know they're not to be trusted but the politicians watch them like a dog watching a tin being opened) increasingly showing the Tory lead evaporating and Labour rising, I'm wondering if May will call a delay... That would be a very cynical way of using tragedy for political advantage, of course....
I doubt the election will be postponed. With Labour's softly softly approach and Corbyn's alliance with terror groups this has played directly into the Conservative's hands (not that they have the guts to do anything worthwhile about terror either) but they do have the general consensus of being the party of law and order.
Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.

Yep, the prime minister says it is dreadful and the Mayor is furious. Candles will be lit tonight and ISIS will be celebrating and laughing at the ineptitude of the response.

I'll point you all in the direction of the random chat thread where myself and 24 discussed possible strategies to combat terrorist attacks in the UK.
The election I'm sure will go ahead, let's not forget the main instigators of the current state of affairs one Tony Blair and one George w bush. Let's also not forget a Tory government led by Cameron wanted to bomb these fu+kers to Kingdom come but were defeated by a commons vote led by Corbyn, who if elected will adopt a "hug a terrorist" approach if any of us have any arms left to do so.
The biggest mistake we make here is turning these things into a political football while we sit on our hands doing sweet F A.

Where are all these scum and filth that you want the SAS and SBS to take out?
They're everywhere. It's fine to sit there saying 'take them out' or 'we need to take action' but what? What's your plan?
If it was that easy it would have been done long ago.
We're not dealing with a small cell in Iraq that can be contained and destroyed.
There could be more action regarding people who are known to the intelligence services flying in and out of the country to places like Libya like the Manchester bomber ... but what do you suggest for a guy who's been living in a flat in barking for three years, working at TFL who decides to hire a van, grab a knife and some mates and terrorise London one Saturday night?
'Eradicate this filth from our country ' ... How do you suggest we do that? An awful lot of the terrorists or radicals are born and bred here?
I always thought with the IRA they had a purpose. There was a goal and we knew what they wanted.
How do you deal with someone who just hates our whole way of life and is willing to kill themselves in a heartbeat just to try and destroy it? They don't care about there own lives, how can we expect them to care about ours?

This could be done very easily, under the radar of public knowledge and in a safe, justified and legal manner.

No-one ever asks if they sound "too civil rights", so what's wrong with standing up for the rights of women?
Anti-feminist people have sadly managed to put a negative spin on it, but I see women reaching their full potential as a positive thing.

These terrorists are such cowards, running innocent people over in a van, it is abhorrent and they won't achieve whatever aim they have by it.
