He should care about persecuted christians first since most of the british people are christian and the culture is based on christian-judeo teachings, while at most 5-10% are homosexual, just saying..


His choice of protecting gay rights is clearly a movement to help him win public opinion. Protecting persecuted Christains would not do this, and would probably cause a massive media shit-storm.


Create a shit-storm where? Reading the daily mail it's pretty obvious that if anything, people were annoyed that funding would be based on gay rights rather than persecution of Christians. All I've read or heard for the last few months is people getting fed up because, in their view, minorities such as gays/muslims are given priority over the majority population.

Really ? That's heart warming to read some people still use common sense.

I've always thought of Poland as a very homophobic country. And you aren't helping matters, that's for sure.

They're also known to be very antisemitic.

Which is huge bullshit because there's much less antisemitic incidents here than in so called west.

That's because you have almost no Jews living in your country after the Holocaust.


Im sure thats the fault of poles and not their ''certain'' western neighbour

Yes, it actually is. The Poles certainly didn't disagree with the Nazis' antisemitism. They didn't really like it when they realized that Nazis also didn't care for them much either, but they certainly were on board with whatever the Nazis did to the Jews.

Poland has been THE safe heaven of jews in Europe until WWII, one of the biggest jewish communities in the world and one of the most tolerant countries on the matter

At the start of World War II, Poland was partitioned between Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union (see: Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact). The war resulted in the death of one-fifth of the Polish population, with 90% or about 3 million of Polish Jewry killed along with approximately 3 million Polish Gentiles (Christians).[13] Although the Holocaust occurred largely in German occupied Poland there was little collaboration with the Nazis by her citizens. Collaboration by individual Poles has been described as smaller than in other occupied countries.[14][15] Statistics of the Israeli War Crimes Commission indicate that less than 0.1% of Polish gentiles collaborated with the Nazis.[16] Examples of Polish gentile attitudes to German atrocities varied widely, from actively risking death in order to save Jewish lives,[17] and passive refusal to inform on them; to indifference, blackmail,[18] and in extreme cases, participation in pogroms such as the Jedwabne massacre. Grouped by nationality, Poles represent the biggest number of people who rescued Jews during the Holocaust.[19][20]
