Jabba's Palace[^]
Now this![^]
We all know Star Wars is racist.
There is only one black man in the galaxy, Lando Calrissian, and that all the bad guys are English and the good guys are American.
But really, are they serious?
Footnote...We have seen in recent years that when totalitarian states are broken by the US/UN/NATO forces they descend into anarchy and internecine warfare.
So does one think that the destruction of the Empire by the Republican Forces is going to fare any better?
In order to regain control and peace, the republic are going to have to become a totalitarian force for evil too.
At least the empire had a career structure, allowed for trade, kept the peace, had nice uniforms and made the hyperspace express trains run on time!

At least they haven't killed millions of people like Communism and National Socialism did.
And it is capitalism that has given us plenty of food and all this technology.
Imagine a world where there was no capitalism, what a desolate awful place it would be!

This has nothing to do with MP's.
Would you happily give up a pay rise?
I wouldn't.

In their situation I would, how can you force public sector workers to a freeze on pay rises and then demand near 32%.
they are given quite generous allownaces on top of thier wages as is.
in any other job hell no way would I give up a pay rise.

Oh, but that's so unfair to MPs!
I mean, they've had to give up all that money they were claiming for second homes that didn't belong to them, decorating boyfriends' flats, etc!
They have to make that money up somehow, and they have to do it in a way that they get it without it looking illegal, so that means huge pay increases!
You must be really cruel to expect such people to act so out of character by being honest and trustworthy!

No it isn't.
It's creative, inventive, and hard-working people who have given us plenty of food and all this technology.
Capitalists just made fortunes out of those people's honest work.

To be fair it looks more like the mosque than Jabba's palace.

Just because something looks a little like something else does not mean it is that other thing, nor does it imply contempt or insult.
Round things are notoriously difficult when building with lego.
I think it looks sufficiently like Jabba's Palace for them to say "Piss off and get a life and stop looking for insults in every corner of the world".

My point was it is sh*t, not that it was based on the mosque or is anyway racist.

Oh, in that case, yes, I agree with you.
I do not think for one moment the designer said "Here is a picture of Jabba's Palace, let us make it look like a mosque."
It is just a shame they didn't make it look more like Jabba's Palace.

When has Dave ever let facts get in the way of his statements? Besides we already determined he was a staunch Tory below.
