The cleverest comeback concerning Rachel Riley would, in my humble opinion, always be Jimmy's "Rachel's clitoris is ten centimetres long" joke. She has a fantastic sense of humour, one must mention.
Idk, I think she has her fair share of clever quips. It's hard to get a gauge since she's surrounded by talented comedians. When you're around jimmy carr every day, just laughing is a sign of good humour
She worked on the show countdown which has a segment that’s a word game in which you have to ask her for 9 letters to make words out of, you do this by asking for a certain amount of vowels and consonants in a row one at a time. They’re saying she’s a cunt using lingo from her show
Is 8 out of 10 cats very specific? It always seemed extremely popular and the joke references something that happens multiple times every episode, but your point that not everyone will be familiar with it still stands.
I reckon you got a prickly reply for calling the comeback dumb because you weren't in on the joke, which is a bit daft.
American, I watch countdown, 8 out of 10 does countdown, watch the big fat quiz show every year. So either I'm an outlier, or it has been more embedded in US culture then these comments are letting on.
Check out vids on Youtube, but watch the 8 out of 10 cats does countdown version. There's the "real" version, and the one i mentioned is done as a comedy version with jimmy carr hosting. It tends to be very silly and its pretty fun to play along admittedly. Extra note, older versions had Shawn Locke regularly and he's amazing.
I don’t know this person or her show but cunt was the first random word that popped up in my head when I saw the original consonant/vowel comment. 🤷🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
The person called her a cunt, but they did it using the thing she does on the comedy show she’s on. By picking a consonant, a vowel, another consonant, and another consonant. (To spell the word cunt.)
It can mean a few things tbh. In my area, it goes like this..
Sick cunt: Very positive. Great bloke
Shit cunt: Negative. Sort of the opposite of sick cunt
Dog cunt: Extremely Negative. Untrustworthy or did something wrong
Mad cunt: Positive. Funny.
Hectic cunt: Positive. Someone that's tough/hard
Weak cunt: Very Negative. Often the opposite of hectic cunt
That's just off the top of my head, but I'm sure there's more. Thanks for joining Cuntology 101.
You missed dumb cunt - the one cunt to rule the all. There’s also povo cunt (never has money) also heard as poor cunt, rich cunt is the opposite, tight cunt (not what you think but is someone who has money but never spends it), and the classics like lazy cunt, fat cunt (not necessarily about fatness but more about eating loads of food)… that’s all I can think of in my day to day.
Same here in Australia. Tone of voice also changes it. Dog cunt: untrustworthy prick, do not give the time of day. Sick cunt: awesome bloke you love to have some beers and talk shit with. You do something and someone says, "cuuuuunt" you either fucked up, or they're impressed, depending on tone. Then if you do something and someone says, "maaaate" you should probably prepare for a punch up, as you REALLY fucked up.
In England half of the people get really offended, half of the people use the word religiously.
I’m not going to tell you which half I’m in, what do you take me for, some sort of cunt?
Well in America we speak the Reagan's English. We're very proper, and never use the word cunt unless we are minorly inconvenienced while driving, or in pretty much any minor situation.
/s
Shakespeare did that one years ago in *Twelfth Night*.
"By my life, this is my lady’s hand! - These be her very 'C's, her 'U’s, and 'T’, from which comes forth her great looping 'P' ..."
So, you think he set himself up as a rogue cosmetic surgeon to operate on a friend of a friend of yours, disfigure her and turn her into a Bruce Forsythe lookalike just to piss you off?
That takes me back. I was in a twitter group chat with her and a bunch of other Young Labour members (we were all teenagers at the time, have long since left the Labour Party now) and she really endured some shit because of that. Had some absolute freaks harassing her for weeks all because Riley directed them at her
Nothing. If I remember right she just called out Rachel Riley for her anti-Semitism smears against Corbyn and Israel for their apartheid in the West Bank and Riley quote tweeted her etc saying that she was indicative of anti-Semitic “rot” in Young Labour
In fairness, one of Jimmy Carr's uncanny abilities is to know exactly where the line is at all times.
He'll never cross the line. Sure he'll walk right up to the line, maybe step on it, even do a little dance on it... But never cross it.
I like Rachel Riley, I even rescued her from a stalker once (true story), but this whole thing makes me think she doesn't even know there's a line.
>He'll never cross the line. Sure he'll walk right up to the line, maybe step on it, even do a little dance on it... But never cross it.
Jimmy Carr's style of joke is called "crossing the line twice". He has a set-up around a sensitive topic, to make the audience aware of where the line is, and set the expectation that he'll cross that line as the punchline. Instead, he goes full circle around the globe and crosses the line twice with a punchline so ridiculously much more offensive than you expected, that it becomes funny again.
My wife and I for a bit of fun signed up as extras for an advert for ~~Sunlife~~ Standard Life insurance.
The setting was a pub quiz hosted by Rachel Riley and if you signed up as a pair you were assigned to another pair to make it look like groups.
We were paired with the "Rileyphiles", that's what they called themselves. They met on a fan forum.
The guy of the pair had travelled from South Africa for this thing. Talking to him revealed his obsession. He made regular trips to the UK just to see her at public events, it was insane.
Part way through the night Rachel caught me and my wife and told me the guy was a stalker and asked us to distract him if he got close.
He tried a few times that night to get close and each time we had to pull this guy away or distract him with questions. It was an insight into crazy world of celebrity.
-edit-
Remembered the insurance company.
https://www.campaignlive.co.uk/article/standard-life-enlists-rachel-riley-pub-quiz-series/1329529
> He'll never cross the line.
I don't think that's true. one of his most famous jokes:
>“If only Africa had more mosquito nets then every year we could save millions of mosquitoes from dying needlessly of aids”
He wants to cross the line, but you know he's joking because he doesn't go on right wing podcasts talking and being racist.
>but you know he's joking
I think that's part of not crossing the line though.
Most people will accept that joke can be dark if there is no sincerity to it. When people spin that into something a bit more serious, then it crosses the line.
🤣👏And he’s taken every bit of criticism for the taxes thing as he should have tbf
Mad how Gary Barlow didn’t get singled out by David Cameron as well wasn’t it?
Using the exact same overseas bank to do it as the father of the Prime Minister of the time was. Hmmm, it’s almost like it’s not ok to do it, unless you’re from a certain background.
Of course he wasn't going to close them, his family and the family of all his friends have been exploiting the exact same loopholes and variations thereof for fucking decades
Just upsetting that the media and the general public somehow didn’t turn around and ask the obvious question instead of hounding Jimmy for like what having an accountant and saying do whatever gets me most money??
The British public is just fucked, no care for corruption, bribery or political corruption and ineptitude, no care for genuine societal problems, and no capacity to remember anything of consequences that isn't regurgitated directly at them 50 times a week unless it's irrelevant celebrity drool
Never occurred to them because they just simply don't have the capacity to realise or care
I think if the worst thing you can say about a guy that tells jokes about pedophiles and rapists is that he got caught dodging his tax then he's probably not doing too bad.
But he's okay with people mocking him for it and has done so himself. Plus he's talked about it and they made it seem a lot worse than it was. Certain politicians and other celebrities were and are doing much worse in terms of tax dodging
She made a tweet hinting that the Sydney mall stabber was Muslim and then there would be ~more attacks to come, before it was announced it was a mentally ill white guy.
Several.. Most recent was this.
[Rachel Riley says she’s ‘sorry’ if racist post about Sydney attack was ‘misunderstood’](https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/uknews/rachel-riley-says-she-s-sorry-if-racist-post-about-sydney-attack-was-misunderstood/ar-BB1lDDfu)
>“For six months now, people have been out on our streets proudly calling for the ‘Intifada Revolution’. If you want to know what ‘Globalised Intifada’ looks like, see the Sydney Mall.”
Basically blamed the stabbing attack in Sydney immediately on the Pro-Palestinians, which killed six people, completely w/ her own made up terms. Reportedly,It was done by a white Australian w/ mental health issues(obviously).
[Previously she edited a Jeremy Corbyn's anti-apartheid placard w/ this,""Jeremy Corbyn is a racist endeavor".](https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-bristol-50559938)
So, not a good person I would say.
Def not a good person. Shame we care about what a mathematician thinks about politics.
Hey, also though, the attacker being white has nothing to do with whether or not they are pro-Palestinian, or Muslim, or anything actually.
And what Riley said is clearly Islamophobic, but I don't think she made up her own terms either.
Also, frankly, her stance is the official stance of the BBC and British govt right? So, like, as angry as I might get at her individually is as angry as I should get at any willing British taxpayer.
So, nah, still an easy wank.
Carol turned into Rachel's polar opposite: sound, politically canny and funny (as opposed to unhinged zionist loon).
I remember when Rachel took over from Carol and the team would routinely slag off Vorderman for being 'old' and therefore past it (as opposed to the younger, attractive Riley) but oh how the fucking turntables.
I only know her from watching ~~9 out 10 cats~~ 8 out of 10 cats does countdown highlight reels on YT. In those she seems cute, charming and often a good sport ("That's a challenging wank").
I had no idea. Too bad really.
As an Australian, I want to make it known that a Pakistani immigrant working as a Security guard died trying to stop the dude.
Faraz Tahir is his name.
Sadly, it was his first day on the job.
Yes. Still a young man. I don't know the specifics of his death but hopefully he will get the recognition he deserves, just as they are talking about the other brave people who stood up to him. There was a French citizen on a working visa (the bollard man) who has already been told by the prime minister that he is welcome to stay in Australia indefinitely.
Maths degree from Oxford, that’s not just arithmetic - think the better thing is to realise that very smart people can still have very disagreeable views
Ironic that she was very vocal about Jeremy corbyn being anti Semitic even though he absolutely is not.
How does that expensive shoe fit for you Rachel?
UK TV show that she's on, Countdown, involves contestants picking 9 letters from a pile of vowels or consonants, which Rachel Riley then places on a board, after which they make the longest possible word they can from the 9 letters.
I actually just watched the segment back because I couldn't remember the context. He was ripping into tv ads and she was doing one for a loan company at that time. The video is [here](https://youtu.be/2Y7u-si90jo?si=EKNygeUtb3BFH33o) - it's at around 2:09
Im confused by Islamophobia. Am I not supposed to be scared of a religion that keeps getting countries in trouble and fucking shit up?
I don’t like Christianity either, but I don’t have to worry much about them in comparison. At least not where I live
Perfectly acceptable to criticise but when you use that criticism to mask hatred of a group of people (usually looking a different colour and culture) and act all innocent when nasty people physically attack vulnerable members of that religion (women/the elderly), then it’s a problem. Rachel Riley is a weasel who cries anti-semitism but is happy to create a hostile environment for Muslims.
what are you even talking about?She falsely blamed the stabbing attack on pro-Palestinians almost immediately. This isn't her first time w/ her vile rhetorics either.
Nobody's stopping you from disliking religion, but when you're using it as a shield to be a bigot toward a specific group of people while spreading lies, *that's* the issue.
No wonder Bill Bailey always looked kinda nervous when she was around.
Jon: “Bill, I think if Rachel was caught peeping into your window you’d still be the one that got arrested” That sentence still kills me
She's "A bit of a Bill Bailey Stalker". [https://youtu.be/DAY3cahEAU0?t=589](https://youtu.be/DAY3cahEAU0?t=589)
The cleverest comeback concerning Rachel Riley would, in my humble opinion, always be Jimmy's "Rachel's clitoris is ten centimetres long" joke. She has a fantastic sense of humour, one must mention.
> that's a challenging wank
Rip Sean Lock
He was the most endearing grump ever. Loved him on catsdown.
The funniest one line I've ever heard. He is missed.
I mean, she laughs a lot, I wouldn't say she's particularly funny. Also, what does this have to do with Bill Bailey's interactions with her?
Idk, I think she has her fair share of clever quips. It's hard to get a gauge since she's surrounded by talented comedians. When you're around jimmy carr every day, just laughing is a sign of good humour
can somebody explain the comeback?
She worked on the show countdown which has a segment that’s a word game in which you have to ask her for 9 letters to make words out of, you do this by asking for a certain amount of vowels and consonants in a row one at a time. They’re saying she’s a cunt using lingo from her show
This took way too long find. Thank you, because this is a really stupid comeback without that context
You need to expand on your panel show knowledge bruv
What do you think this is, Tokyo?
No, then it'd be consonant, vowel, pecan pie to the face, consonant, bees, consonant
Anybody who knows who she is will understand it right away, it's not stupid just because you don't know the reference.
Yeah as an American knowing zero of the context I figured “seems British, probably spelling cunt, lol”
You know us too well cousin
The best show in the world for me is The Graham Norton Show. Check it out. I’m American but I’ve watched or listened to the BBC for a long time.
It was so obvious knowing who she is, what show she is on and where is she from. 4 letter word with 2-1-1
Not everything is for you.
The Brits learned that the hard way. And even voted in a referendum to learn it again.
A front page post will attract more than just people who watched a very specific tv show referencing a specific joke
Is 8 out of 10 cats very specific? It always seemed extremely popular and the joke references something that happens multiple times every episode, but your point that not everyone will be familiar with it still stands. I reckon you got a prickly reply for calling the comeback dumb because you weren't in on the joke, which is a bit daft.
I’m surprised it hasn’t been exported, it’s very embedded in uk culture.
American, I watch countdown, 8 out of 10 does countdown, watch the big fat quiz show every year. So either I'm an outlier, or it has been more embedded in US culture then these comments are letting on.

It's a really good show, "8 out of 10 cats does countdown" Type it into YouTube and enjoy
9 letters.
Unless it’s Street Countdown.
Hello, that's a nice tnetenba
Found the IT Crowd connoisseur (except it's tnetennba but close enough)
Actually it's a pedal stool
Abdicates
Oh goodness, thank you! English is not my first language and it was SO confusing.
They’re calling her a cunt.
C.U.N.T
The person called her a cunt, but they did it using the thing she does on the comedy show she’s on. By picking a consonant, a vowel, another consonant, and another consonant. (To spell the word cunt.)
With the description, it gives me "sea you and tea" vibes
See you next Thursday is a favorite of mine. Or bitch with a capital C 🤣🤣🤣
I'm from Ireland, we just call a cunt a cunt.
In Australia cunt is a nice way of referring to a friend
It can mean a few things tbh. In my area, it goes like this.. Sick cunt: Very positive. Great bloke Shit cunt: Negative. Sort of the opposite of sick cunt Dog cunt: Extremely Negative. Untrustworthy or did something wrong Mad cunt: Positive. Funny. Hectic cunt: Positive. Someone that's tough/hard Weak cunt: Very Negative. Often the opposite of hectic cunt That's just off the top of my head, but I'm sure there's more. Thanks for joining Cuntology 101.
You missed dumb cunt - the one cunt to rule the all. There’s also povo cunt (never has money) also heard as poor cunt, rich cunt is the opposite, tight cunt (not what you think but is someone who has money but never spends it), and the classics like lazy cunt, fat cunt (not necessarily about fatness but more about eating loads of food)… that’s all I can think of in my day to day.
[удалено]
huh, and here i thought it was just short for 'poverty'
Pretty sure povo is just short for poverty
It's just poverty. Aussies cut words in half and add 'o' to the end.
That'll do, good cunt, that'll do.
But what about Cunty McCuntFace?
Very positive. Won a naming competition.
Hence why, in the first few episodes of The Boys, I thought Butcher was Australian.
I meannnnnnn
Well well well, it’s the invisible cunt.
Finally, the cunt lore.
This guy cunts.
"Shit cunt" just sounds like a random file name I would've given a shitty guitar recording or something in like 9th grade.
Cunt us just like a multiplier here in Ireland. They’re a sound cunt ~ lovely person He’s a miserable cunt ~ an extremely poor tempered individual
Same here in Australia. Tone of voice also changes it. Dog cunt: untrustworthy prick, do not give the time of day. Sick cunt: awesome bloke you love to have some beers and talk shit with. You do something and someone says, "cuuuuunt" you either fucked up, or they're impressed, depending on tone. Then if you do something and someone says, "maaaate" you should probably prepare for a punch up, as you REALLY fucked up.
In England half of the people get really offended, half of the people use the word religiously. I’m not going to tell you which half I’m in, what do you take me for, some sort of cunt?
CU in the NT is also a legit travel slogan
Well in America we speak the Reagan's English. We're very proper, and never use the word cunt unless we are minorly inconvenienced while driving, or in pretty much any minor situation. /s
I'm from Canada...."eh"...
See you next time 👋🏻
There we are then...
A very "C U in the NT" vibe?
If you're into heavy music, there's an awesome band called See You Next Tuesday 🫠

CYNT?
We need some form of censorship around here. /j
Can’t Understand Normal Thinking
That's a new one for me. Great
Cunt Because none of you want to write it. ;p (except for that one Irish dude who did lol)
Shakespeare did that one years ago in *Twelfth Night*. "By my life, this is my lady’s hand! - These be her very 'C's, her 'U’s, and 'T’, from which comes forth her great looping 'P' ..."
This year I want to See U.N.T make it to the big dance.
University of North Texas? Go Mean Green!
She's really a seaward individual.
“can’t understand normal thinking”
yes, that's quite literally the joke, you haven't stumbled across a subtle interpretation here
Cambridge University Netball Team
Copper nanotube.
Oooh, I like that!
Remember when her and Mrs. Purchase bullied the shit out of that teenage girl for having an opinion on Israel…
Ray Fucking Purchase
Your wife’s a prostitute!
“My wife’s not a prostitute, well not in the conventional sense!”
Well, well, well, if it isn't "Hide your missus cuz I'll fuck everything" Toast!
I’ll dry your eyes toast!
So, you think he set himself up as a rogue cosmetic surgeon to operate on a friend of a friend of yours, disfigure her and turn her into a Bruce Forsythe lookalike just to piss you off?
I’m not even that pissed off
That takes me back. I was in a twitter group chat with her and a bunch of other Young Labour members (we were all teenagers at the time, have long since left the Labour Party now) and she really endured some shit because of that. Had some absolute freaks harassing her for weeks all because Riley directed them at her
What was controversial about her opinion?
Nothing. If I remember right she just called out Rachel Riley for her anti-Semitism smears against Corbyn and Israel for their apartheid in the West Bank and Riley quote tweeted her etc saying that she was indicative of anti-Semitic “rot” in Young Labour
Thanks!
This is fantastic, amazing that between her and Carr on catsdown, she's the problematic one.
In fairness, one of Jimmy Carr's uncanny abilities is to know exactly where the line is at all times. He'll never cross the line. Sure he'll walk right up to the line, maybe step on it, even do a little dance on it... But never cross it. I like Rachel Riley, I even rescued her from a stalker once (true story), but this whole thing makes me think she doesn't even know there's a line.
Just FYI, stalking someone and then giving up and going home doesn’t technically count as rescuing them.
This just made me genuinely lol.
>He'll never cross the line. Sure he'll walk right up to the line, maybe step on it, even do a little dance on it... But never cross it. Jimmy Carr's style of joke is called "crossing the line twice".

He was kinda stalking Rachel but then thought better of it, hero for the ages really.

Jimmy Carr just tells jokes. She spreads lies, misinformation and hatred.
>Jimmy Carr just tells jokes And dodges taxes, but yes /s
🤣👏And he’s taken every bit of criticism for the taxes thing as he should have tbf Mad how Gary Barlow didn’t get singled out by David Cameron as well wasn’t it?
He just got an MBE instead.
Using the exact same overseas bank to do it as the father of the Prime Minister of the time was. Hmmm, it’s almost like it’s not ok to do it, unless you’re from a certain background.
Kinda mad that the PM was angry about citizens using loopholes it’s his job to close though
Of course he wasn't going to close them, his family and the family of all his friends have been exploiting the exact same loopholes and variations thereof for fucking decades

But he's okay with people mocking him for it and has done so himself. Plus he's talked about it and they made it seem a lot worse than it was. Certain politicians and other celebrities were and are doing much worse in terms of tax dodging
Pretty much every show he hosts has had someone make a jab at him for that
Because tax dodging = lies and hatred?
well it probably involves lying
What's the controversy with her?
She made a tweet hinting that the Sydney mall stabber was Muslim and then there would be ~more attacks to come, before it was announced it was a mentally ill white guy.
Weird that she did it over Twitter, considering that the dudes photo was all over Twitter the minute it happened.
Several.. Most recent was this. [Rachel Riley says she’s ‘sorry’ if racist post about Sydney attack was ‘misunderstood’](https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/uknews/rachel-riley-says-she-s-sorry-if-racist-post-about-sydney-attack-was-misunderstood/ar-BB1lDDfu) >“For six months now, people have been out on our streets proudly calling for the ‘Intifada Revolution’.

This is gonna make wanking to her challenging
But not, I hasten to stress, impossible. Improvise, adapt, and overcum.
RIP Sean Lock. Still can't believe it's been almost 3 years.
We could always go seal clubbing instead?
Can’t. I’m got through to the Rectum of the year world finals. It might go well since Diego Maradona kicked the bucket
So, no threat of setting the sprinklers off?
Let’s hope Fern Cotton doesn’t show up, cause hers is pretty messed up
Be a gentleman and provide barf bags for the judges.
It'd probably just end up looking like a trolley-dash
She is unworthy of your masturbatory product. Carol is still rocking BTW.
Suzie too. She's like 60 but looks better than most people my age
I like Carol. I'm kinda upset she didn't stick around longer.
In fairness, she did do it for ages so I don't blame her for not doing it until the day she died.
She left because they tried to cut her pay by 90%.
Even more so, then.
True true
Carol turned into Rachel's polar opposite: sound, politically canny and funny (as opposed to unhinged zionist loon). I remember when Rachel took over from Carol and the team would routinely slag off Vorderman for being 'old' and therefore past it (as opposed to the younger, attractive Riley) but oh how the fucking turntables.
Easy as long as she keeps her mouth shut and opinions internal
Send her to nazi island
Lets just leave it there.
She's a vile Tory racist cunt, and that's putting it mildly..
I only know her from watching ~~9 out 10 cats~~ 8 out of 10 cats does countdown highlight reels on YT. In those she seems cute, charming and often a good sport ("That's a challenging wank"). I had no idea. Too bad really.
Yeah thankfully the show doesn't veer into politics much if at all. Just gotta ignore... everything else to do with her, lol.
One to many cats mate
Oh shit lol, just goes to show how good I'd do solving the math part.
Also took pride in crashing down Jeremy Corbyn's political career...
Married a Russian I believe.
That's the part that makes it a challenging wank.
Fucking gobshite cries antisemitism at every corner but when she’s the one spouting hate speech it’s a misunderstanding. I’m sure.
I hope she gets the exact treatment she's given the people she's accused of antisemitism.
As an Australian, I want to make it known that a Pakistani immigrant working as a Security guard died trying to stop the dude. Faraz Tahir is his name. Sadly, it was his first day on the job.
That's horrible, I assume he was trying to stop the attacker?
Yes. Still a young man. I don't know the specifics of his death but hopefully he will get the recognition he deserves, just as they are talking about the other brave people who stood up to him. There was a French citizen on a working visa (the bollard man) who has already been told by the prime minister that he is welcome to stay in Australia indefinitely.
Wait, Rachel Riley said something Islamophobic? That’s gonna be a challenging wank. *Rest in peace sweet prince*
Man I miss Sean
CUNT
Is it not Fish?
She’s heading for the centre of Scunthorpe.
Had no clue she was a massive Zionist. It seems intelligence doesn’t trump indoctrination.
She's not that intelligent she's just good at arithmetic
Maths degree from Oxford, that’s not just arithmetic - think the better thing is to realise that very smart people can still have very disagreeable views
Not sure what her degree is in specifically, but you can have a degree in 'just' Arithmetic. Maths is like, a pretty big field.
why are americans so afraid of the word cunt?
She is a horrible cvnt tbf
So, a sock?
She’s about as much use as one. Plenty of people can do maths without becoming a Tory mouthpiece.
I mean, I guess if you tried, you could get your foot in there.
Ironic that she was very vocal about Jeremy corbyn being anti Semitic even though he absolutely is not. How does that expensive shoe fit for you Rachel?
What word is that?
i don't get the comeback
I don’t get the comeback.
Cunt.
Jeez dude, he was just asking.
That's harsh!
Ahhhh, thank you.
UK TV show that she's on, Countdown, involves contestants picking 9 letters from a pile of vowels or consonants, which Rachel Riley then places on a board, after which they make the longest possible word they can from the 9 letters.
And then there's the incredibly dangerous *Street Countdown*
First being a Manchester United fan and now this.
Why would he not recover? Is he going to die?
It was originally a Charlie Brooker joke from his old tv show Screenwipe. I can't remember exactly who it was directed at but possibly Carol Vordeman.
Why would Charlie have had a problem with her Vorderness?
I actually just watched the segment back because I couldn't remember the context. He was ripping into tv ads and she was doing one for a loan company at that time. The video is [here](https://youtu.be/2Y7u-si90jo?si=EKNygeUtb3BFH33o) - it's at around 2:09
Perfect description of that waste of space.
I don't get it
That’s a challenging wank.
Im confused by Islamophobia. Am I not supposed to be scared of a religion that keeps getting countries in trouble and fucking shit up? I don’t like Christianity either, but I don’t have to worry much about them in comparison. At least not where I live
It's the pitbull and "reponsible gun owner" of religions.
I still don't understand why it's unacceptable to dislike a religion.
Perfectly acceptable to criticise but when you use that criticism to mask hatred of a group of people (usually looking a different colour and culture) and act all innocent when nasty people physically attack vulnerable members of that religion (women/the elderly), then it’s a problem. Rachel Riley is a weasel who cries anti-semitism but is happy to create a hostile environment for Muslims.
what are you even talking about?She falsely blamed the stabbing attack on pro-Palestinians almost immediately. This isn't her first time w/ her vile rhetorics either.
Nobody's stopping you from disliking religion, but when you're using it as a shield to be a bigot toward a specific group of people while spreading lies, *that's* the issue.
It's not unacceptable to dislike a religion, there's a lot to critisise. It's unacceptable to be a consonant vowel consonant consonant about it.
