The Muff, a bloke who spends all his Friday night bullcrapping on a football forum about a balloon or another balloon that may be a response to the first balloon.
You have to feel sorry for the flaccid piece of cock that he is.

Aww. You think about me.

So you got nothing to say about the guy posting misinformation? Only got something to say about the person who explains that it's misinformation?

You're spending your friday evening posting about a poster who is bullcrapping about a balloon, so i'm not sure you're in a position to criticise.

IT.
No, I'm not, bud. I've been out with mates watching the game, having a cracking time and then returned home - see the time of my first posting on this "issue" - to marvel at how some sadsack can post a thread on a frickin' balloon or two that may or may not drift in the breeze of good ol' London town.
That Muffprick has been tossing it off at his keyboard all night. Complete pi$$head. Or ****. Or both.

Doesn't change the fact that you're getting personal for no reason. People who attack others for how they spend their time are pretty pathetic individuals who don't deserved to be taken seriously. Try not to be like them.

Just for reference Martin_p, seeing as we are on the topic. I rarely, if ever call people on here "triggered" or whatever because as I was saying earlier, just because they think something I say/think is stupid and argue with me that doesn't mean they're triggered.

However...... This guy right here actually is legit triggered and is a prime example of a bed wetter. He tries to personally attack me all the time, and has absolutely zero arguments against me, just insults (poor ones at that).

Back to the original topic

You think the London Mayor will stop your balloon taking off, when he allows marches by far rights, far left, Hamas supporters etc etc?*

Bit of a stretch, almost like pretending that the vast amount of money raised for this balloon for the Mayor is all from, er, "concerned patriots"

*I'm not even sure he has the power to stop marches now you mention it, that sounds more like a home office thing**

**but he has control over floating inflatibles

One thing about this thread has highlighted though (and in general)

Just how snowflakey trump supporters are and that they all massively dislike Sadiq Khan (a Muslim mayor with Pakistani heritage)

Strange that.

There hasn't been any far-right marches. A far right march is like that one in Charlottesville, the people at the Tommy thing aren't (in the main) far-right.

Hamas are far right sure, but they are the "good kind" of far right that gets a bit of a pass from the left.

Also, I have no idea where the money came from, nor do I with the Trump balloon, in truth i'm not even sure what you are suggesting, are you saying it was rich influencers putting money in? Or implying they are nazis? I really don't know

I think we can add balloons to the long long list of things that petrify moffitt.

He’s probably just upset that his Little Tommy March has been postponed......... because of the football.

Still time for you to come back from the precipice that you are on CM.

You don't think a free tommy robinson march is far right? Hmmm

Hamas are a muslim fundamentalist terrorist group who I'd happily nuke into the stone age, so I'm not sure how that counts as far right.

I'm saying that the donations for the Khan balloon won't have come from concerned patriots, that it would have come from racist bellends who don't like him because he's a Muslim and of pakistani heritage.

They hate anyone who hurts the feelings of theif god-emperor. I remember a while back an artist painted Trump with a small penis and some of hus supporters beat the **** out of her for it. They really do get violently upset at this stuff. Then they call us 'snowflakes'.

I genuinely believe that there is nothing that these people say about others that isn't projection.

Are you really going to use examples of political violence against trump critics as a card in this? With the mountains of videos of the left attacking Trump supporters out there?

They had an about this on JOB yesterday on LBC.

The Brexit stuff gets pretty intense, but wow, the outrage of the callers ringing up about this was genuinely jaw dropping.

I mean, we've had three pages of CM arguing that we need a trade deal with this bloke to save the country after we've blown both our feet off, and then arguing that we can't risk antagonising him with a 20 foot balloon and not making the connection that you can't put your faith in a trade deal with someone who has clearly been frightened off by a 20 foot balloon and that you know its the sort of thing his ego can't cope with.

That's where we are at the moment, and its both hilarious and bloody terrifying.

Yes. Because i'm not talking about a right-wing version of black bloc that the rest of the right rejects (as much as it inconveniences you the left really doesn't like black bloc disrupting their protests). I'm talking about actual trump supporters commiting the kind of violence that the actual Trump advocates.

He quite clearly isn't a muslim, he openly supports pride and gay marriage for one thing and no muslim, under any circumstances would ever call themselves agnostic.

So because he doesn't fit your idea of a Muslim that means he can't be a muslim. It can't possibly be that your idea of what makes a Muslim is too narrow. Is that right?

Does that mean no one who's Christian can support pride and gay marriage?

If i googled now I bet I could find at least 5 videos of non-black blocs using violence on trump supporters. Its not all down to black bloc, not even close and you know it. Why can't you just admit that politics on America is toxic on both sides and always has been, why are you so determined to pain their left as passive and tolerant ones and just say "its those nasty trump supporters", its nonsense.

Go on then. And i'll find 5 examples of Trump supporters actually murdering people. And maybe i'll throw in 5 examples of Trump actually promoting violence against protesters or his opponents.

Not the same, Christianity in this country has been diluted to the fact that you hardly even meet a religious person anymore. The majority are Christian in name only and could hardly tell you a thing about their religion and never go to church. Plus Christianity is all "metaphoric and not literal" even amongst it;s biggest worshippers, so there is lots of scope for flexibility. The quran is different as it is perceived to be the unchanged and literal instruction of god, attitudes to the holy books are totally different between the two religions, and you know it.

If you are talking about hardliner Christians though, just for arguments sake, they too wouldn't ever be caught supporting gay marriage or calling themselves agnostic.

The quran also says that if you harm one innocent then it's as if you've harmed everyone. Yet i've never once seen you claim that a terrorist who blows themselves up to kill innocent people is not a muslim. I see you here claiming that someone who supports equal marriage rights and women's rights can't be a muslim because you say the quran is to be taken literally and if you don't take it literally then you're not a muslim. But how is it that i know with near certainty that tomorrow if someone calling themselves a muslim blows themselves up on a bus somewhere in the UK you won't be here saying that they were "not a muslim" because the quran literally says not to harm innocents?

To summarise: Someone calling themselves a muslim can't be a muslim if don't follow the quran literally. Except when what they do makes muslims look bad, in which case they're definitely a muslim and it doesn't matter if the quran condemns their actions.

No. And i expected you to bring him up. Isn't it funny how i knew that's the one you'd mention? Almost as if it's an outlier that stands out for how unusual it was. But hey, maybe it's not just a one-off. So find me another.

You know as well as I do the key is in the term "innocent" and who defines the term innocent? Do we draw the line at murderers, what about foreign forces? Are people who voted for the government who bomb muslim countries innocent? What about kuffar, they deny the existence of allah, are they innocent?

That quote is bullshit and everyone knows it.

Oh. But i thought you said the quran was perceived as the literal instruction of god. Now you're saying that the word "innocent" is so open to interpretation by muslims that it might not cover children at a pop concert. Or commuters on a bus, or train. So how can it be the "literal instruction of God"?

So is the quran open to interpretation, or not? Because it seems to me that you want to make the argument that it isn't open to interpretation to attack one Muslim for his progressivism, while at the same time make the argument that it is open to interpretation to attack all muslims when one of them blows up children.

And you wonder why people like me will always look down on people like you. This kind of blatant, unashamed hypocrisy is why.

Now you're saying that the word "innocent" is so open to interpretation by muslims that it might not cover children at a pop concert. Or commuters on a bus, or train. So how can it be the "literal instruction of God"?

So is the quran open to interpretation, or not? Because it seems to me that you want to make the argument that it isn't open to interpretation to attack one Muslim for his progressivism, while at the same time make the argument that it is open to interpretation to attack all muslims when one of them blows up children.

And you wonder why people like me will always look down on people like you. This kind of blatant, unashamed hypocrisy is why.
I never said it wasn't open to interpretation, stop putting words into my mouth.

I specifically said, it is the literal word of god. I.E the texts are not disputed, they aren't metaphoric, they are instructions unlike in the bible where much of the gibberish in there is just stories, metaphors etc.

The instruction itself is very clear. There is just no definition of what an "innocent" is.

So, muslims see it as the "literal word of God", except when it says not to hurt innocent people.

So i come back to my earlier point. Khan supports gay marriage rights and so according to you that makes him in contradiction to the "literal word of God" and therefore not a Muslim. Right?
And since the literal word of god also says not to harm innocent people you either believe that "innocent", in God's eyes, does include children at a concert, and therefore the people who blow themselves up aren't real muslims. OR, in God's eyes, it doesn't include those children, in which case anyone who calls themselves a muslim while also condemning this kind of an attack on children aren't actually muslims, in the same way that Khan isn't a muslim. Because they're going against the "literal word of God".

So now you're in a pickle, because i'm quite sure i've seen your lot complaining in the past that muslims don't do enough to condemn terrorism. Yet by your definition of a muslim anyone who condemns terrorism by someone following the "literal word of god" can't be a muslim. Or if they are a muslim then the person killing innocent people certainly isn't, because while the meaning of "innocent" is apparently open to interpretation, it still has to have a binary answer when referring to a victim of terror.
An 8 year old girl at a concert either is or isn't "innocent", according to the literal word of God. If she is innocent then the bomber isn't a muslim. If she isn't innocent then anyone condemning her killing isn't a muslim.

:lol:

I think you've got anger and contempt mixed up, Damo.
Oh, it's "Must have" not "Must of".
Good effort, though - don't give up just yet. Your opinion is still of value.

Back in the press again, have to say the new balloon blows the trump one away. Looks like it was designed in mockery of the banning of that beach body advert.

Cracking piece from the report.

“Whatever anyone thinks of Mr Trump, he is still leader of the free world and should be accorded the respect of that position, especially at such a critical time for the UK as we face separation from the EU.

“It feels like the Mayor of London prioritises personal enmity over the good of the country.

“He would never have given permission for that balloon if it ridiculed Barack Obama."

Then

“Khan has approved the flying of the balloon depicting himself...”

Had no choice after that piers Morgan interview, he basically said on live TV on one of Britains most watched shows that he would allow any balloon to fly in the name of free speech. To refuse it after that would have been far too damaging.

However, another crowdfund has been made for a "Khan baby" balloon to be flown at the same time, and in just 48 hours 25k has been raised, even without any press bringing attention to it. All very infantile and perhaps a bit tit for tat, but I do wonder if Mr Khan will be quite so in favour of freedom of expression with this balloon as he was with the Trump one.

My bet is it won't get permission to fly.

Put that before he went on Britian's most watched breakfast show and declared he would let anything fly in the name of free speech when addressing criticism of letting the balloon fly; he had no choice after that.

Poor Moffit. More furious than the organiser that it wasn’t banned.
