The linked article is a long complex read. Probably needs to be read more than once. Our US readers also need to read this despite the articles title. The Observer - The great British Brexit robbery: how our democracy was hijacked A shadowy global operation involving big data, billionaire friends of Trump and the disparate forces of the Leave campaign influenced the result of the EU referendum. As Britain heads to the polls again, is our electoral process still fit for purpose? |

Interesting & worrisome. However, I would have been extremely worried had that article been the front end of an ICIJ collaboration similar to the Panama Papers. |

It has all of the hallmarks of another Putin plan. Cheers. |

Continually attacking a Trump, or someone similar. And not acknowledging the corruption of the Parties or Politicians you personally support. Another contentious statement. What proof do you have that many here support a party regardless of which party? Have you hacked the parties subscription/membership databases? |

It has all of the hallmarks of another Putin plan. That Putin and his pals are lurking around is wellknown. Now Canada. http://www.cbc.ca/beta/news/business/russian-money-canada-1.4102132 A powerful Russian crime syndicate that's accused of laundering hundreds of millions of dollars around the world appears to have also flowed millions through nearly 30 Canadian bank accounts. |

Continually attacking a Trump, or someone similar. And not acknowledging the corruption of the Parties or Politicians you personally support. Really? OK, let's look at you. A: You say you're an atheist yet continue using religious statements. B: You dislike the Far left, centre left, left, far right, centre right, right YET voted for Hilary Clinton. Weird or what :-) |

Most Politicians and Political Parties, are controlled by the International Capitalists. And here we are... Do you know what you are? |

A: Saying [God] Bless You, when you sneeze. Means, according to Sirius B, that one believes in a Deity. So how come "A horde of ________" is racist? |

A: Saying [God] Bless You, when you sneeze. Means, according to Sirius B, that one believes in a Deity. Asking a "God" to do something has to be religious. There can be no other description. Describing a crowd or large group as a "horde" has to be taken in context. "A Horde of Wolves supporters invading the pitch" cannot be racist because Wolverhampton Wanderers Football Club supporters come from all races, classes and religions. |

Your believing that saying "God Bless You" when you sneeze. Means one believes in a Deity. In whose world? You are asking God to bless the person that sneezed, how can it be anything but religious. To ask 'someone' you must believe that person exists, it this case that person is God. Therefore you MUST believe there is a God. |

Describing a crime by saying "A Horde of Blacks Invaded a store and..." Is Disgusting and Bigoted. Is the following statement racist & bigoted & if so, please point where & how. "A horde of criminals invaded a store in the early hours of this morning. On viewing the security camera footage, it was found that all the criminals were black". |

Fascinating. Lets try and educate you again, a futile task I'm told considering the "horde" fiasco, but we can but try. Saying the phrase "God bless you", and not believing in God must make the whole phrase an empty saying. Who is going to make the blessing? Is the sneezer going to be blessed? If so by who? It cannot be God because he doesn't exist. You might just as well say "Superman bless you" or "Minnie Mouse bless you". We know they don't exist, they are just cartoon characters, so the phrases are meaningless. So unless you believe there is a God, the phrase "God bless you" is also meaningless. |

Beliefs? Well one of my beliefs is in using a dictionary. By doing so, it shows up those with sheer political correctness idiocy. For example, some words I've been told are insulting yet when just one word is used, nothing is said - Why is that do you think? Word in question is Asinine. synonyms: stupid, foolish, pointless, brainless, mindless, senseless, doltish, idiotic, imbecilic, imbecile, insane, lunatic, ridiculous, ludicrous, absurd, preposterous, nonsensical, fatuous, silly, childish, infantile, puerile, immature, juvenile, inane, witless, half-baked, empty-headed, unintelligent, half-witted, slow-witted, weak-minded. Then there's another section of society that gets totally hung up on individual words, in your case - Horde. Synonyms: crowd, large group, mob, pack, gang, troop, army, swarm, mass throng, multitude, host, drove, band, flock, gathering, assemblage, So based on what is stated, in your teaching experience, explain to us the difference between the following statements: A group of blacks A horde of blacks |
