myriam françois is much better when her body is covered !! she changed so much but she s still a good muslim supporting the palestienians

[@nickxcore74]

Shame she interviews sellouts like Billy Bragg who went along with the smears of antisemitism in the Labour Party when Corbyn was leader, when the Forde report proved that it wasn’t endemic in the Labour Party. That didn’t stop people like Billy throwing Corbyn along with many other Labour activists and members under the bus though.

I don't know about Muslim part. We all make our choices. If I roam around in nothing but an underwear, you won't look at me and say what a great Muslim man. I'm pro-choice but one must understand who is he trying to please in this world. Allah or everyone else.

[@kalamuddin4253]

Haaaaa before I saw her with all muslim clothes. Now haaaaaa 😂 looking haaaa gooood

[@nickxcore74]

Not loyal to Jezza though were you Billy?…..Sellout.

What you named cynicism I name realism. People dont want to change. They like the world as is. Only few realy desire a change, most people just want to complain bunt dont want to change.

[@hrbrown29]

People don't want to change, except people that do want to change. Also people change all the time without trying. Look at public polling changes over time. We don't need everyone to want to change. We just need to change the environment so that people naturally evolve in more productive ways. We are constantly molded by interactions with the environment

[@musicexperiments]

I disagree that it's "realism". What's real now and what's real in the past or future are different, and the change happens by an altering of beliefs. Being cynical is a position of resignation, or laziness... choosing to believe things will always be the same and therefore what's the point in working towards something else. This is a guaranteed way of KEEPING things the same as they are, which presumably is NOT what we want. Cynicism blots out any belief or enthusiasm about making a difference. That is not realism, it is defeatism.

@@musicexperiments if is an acurate statistics then is realism. Defetism is an negative vision about data, but a pure data is just data, so realism.

[@marchidan21]

@@musicexperiments a false entusiasm not sustain by data is just delusion, a recepy to fail.

[@coolhotrockers]

So what’s the thing you’re choking at being “real” about?

[@teestadasgupta610]

This is a misogynistic narcissist.

[@antiyttrad]

Nothing wrong with that

[@GabeDidGood]

A. What? and 2. Huh?

[@Thumperoo]

ooookay. If you say so... Care to explain why you claim that is true, however ? Otherwise, you kinda sound like a nutcase, no offense.

[@nickxcore74]

@@ThumperooHe’s a scumbag who went along with the antisemitism smears against Corbyn and many of his supporters. The Forde report proved this to be the case, but that didn’t stop Billy from throwing Corbyn and many other decent people under the bus. I’m sorry, but I have no respect or time for this man whatsoever.
