Brickbat: Solid Allies

The British government is returning around 350 Libyan army cadets it had brought to England for training after two of them were charged with raping a local man. The member of Parliament for the area where the training was taking place says there were discipline problems with the troops from the very start, and local officials say they have had numerous reports of Libyans leaving the base and causing trouble, but the government appears to have overlooked all that until the sexual assault.

They probably saw an unfortunate youtube video.
We need to arrest youtube video makers. And teach Arabs not to rape.
The victim's consent was apparently not enthusiastic enough...or in arabic
What does this say about the attractiveness of English women?
It might say more about the Lybian rapists than the Englishwomen.
Ah ha, I get it. Very clever
For some reason,Arab countries have trouble building a modern ,disciplined army.
Wogs.
=1 Kipling
We must be doing something to offend them.
WHAT IS IT?
Being weak.

Centuries of western imperialism in Libya, obvs. I mean, the first line of the US Marines' Hymn is a paean to the merciless slaughter and subjugation of Ottoman Tripoli.

Ah, so this is blowback from the Barbary Wars. It all makes sense now.
Cute Englishman butts?
English butts
drive them nuts
The English guy probably asked to bum a fag, but they took it the wrong way.
Told them to "Bugger-Off" and they misinterpreted?
We continue to ignore these lessons over and over on this side of the Atlantic. If these guys ain't partying like allah ain't watching in North America or committing these types of crimes, they are straight up deserting and/or seeking amnesty. Yet we keep bringing them over for training.
Training? Northern Europeans countries invite them to immigrate by the tens of thousands - then get annoyed when the locals complain about their rapes, crime, and generally shittiness.
Sweden got fed up with the complaints so they outlawed them. (The complaints, not the shitty immigrants)

Frightening stuff in Sweden. No wonder the left loves to use them as some sort of shining example of progress.
Fuck Sweden.
"I do not think it takes very many prosecutions before a signal is transmitted in the community that the internet is not a lawless country, the sheriff is back in town," Norlen said during a debate in Swedish parliament.
The Jacket's the Law in these parts, Norlen.
Not communist, but sharia. Infidels have no right to criticize Muslims.
Unpossible! A Swede assured me that Sweden is perfect because there's no censorship. Then again, the same person assured me that Sweden is perfect because it has strict laws against hate speech.
"How many times do we have to tell you: Quashing hate speech is *not* censorship! Off to the re-education camp with you now!"
Fascinating. Reason chooses to post something about the rape of one man but posts squat on the rape and subsequent cover-up of dozens of girls in Rotherham. Pathetic.
Military training = bad
Muslim immigrants = good
M'kay?
**Assignment failed, Variable not of type 'Boolean Morality'**
They are still polling millennials to get their opinion on it.
But dahhhling! Immigrration is just devine! Always and everywhere!
And in a final, ignominious moment, the last vestiges of the once-great British Empire wither into the ether, ass-raped into submission by Libyan "friends".
Thus it ends, not with a bang, but with a whimper.
Uh, you sure that didn't end with a bang?
...what?
Damn your efficient Swiss fingers.
That's what she said
Um.... it was kinda a bang.
But that's impossible, because men are never raped! I have been instructed again and again that they are protected by their shield of Male Privilege!
