No British ones in the list, can you educate me what a British one would look like? An English one is ok too.

Here’s some suggestions:

(sorry, I use Bing for the reward points)

If you would like for there to be an official one you can create a petition for it and after enough signatures it will be debated in parliament.

Seems like the clothing was a bit revealing and thats why she was put in isolation until her father picked her up. Not sure if theres much more than that.

Here’s the thing that marks you for who you are. You came into this discussion and took objection to what I had to say, and zero objection to any of the many anti-Muslim statements made. You’re shown yourself for who you are.

Referring to the UK as a Muslim country is not a wild take but challenging the cultural significance of a spice girl outfit and a cheap plastic carnival hat is a wild take. 

Here's the thing that marks you for who you are.

You came into a discussion about an article that described how a 12 year old child was shamed and mistreated in front of her peers and your first instinct was to support and excuse the inappropriate behavior of those responsible.

The debate about her dress doesn't even matter that much, the way the situation was handled is the worst part, but you didn't give a damn about that, not as long as you could climb up on your political soap box.

Then you followed that up with an infantile attack on the sexuality of anyone who disagreed with you. 

Bravo.  You've shown yourself for who you are and it's not a good look.

You know, if someone comes in here and don't explicitly state that they're against the humiliation and disenfranchisement of young girls, that makes them a misogynist and staunch supporter of the patriarchy. It's also probable that such an individual will be afraid of sexuality and will be an asexual. I mean, it only makes sense.

Sure, if said person ignored a bunch of mysogonistic remarks and only took umbrage at the one person who pointed out the actual real rule infringement the decision was based on rather than blaming Muslims, foreigners, crazy left wingers and other imagined threats.

Thats whats happening all over europe where massive migration from countries are with believes that are absolutely against that of our own, yet becauze of the sheer amount of them,slowly but surely they will take over.

I see more turkish or flags from other countries then my own.

The UK certainly never in it's history forced it's beliefs on another country.

I don't think it's revealing though?

Maybe the original one wore by Geri was, but this one isn't:

And there we have it; where have I mentioned Muslims? You're just here to talk shit and toss age-old labels around. I challenge your strange takes and you mark me some form of racist or bigot based on other peoples' words. Get off your high horse.

I can perfectly well think the school made a mistake, and still don't be a fascist, nazi, or anything along those lines, do you possess enough cognitive powers to fathom such an incredible thing? 

I work with kids (yes; even Muslim ones) and removing someone from class in front of everyone and isolating them is a shameful to do to a child.

Holding someone responsible for comments they did not say because you lacked the competence to express your arguments is how you lose the argument. You seem to have a confirmation bias. You are debating who you think Mummelmann is and not who he actually is.



SeaDaVie on 17 July 2025

Yes, I have confirmation bias in regards to the characterisation of a person I've never encountered before in my entire life. Makes perfect sense.

What about the people blaming this decision on foreigners, Muslims and left-wing lunatics without knowong a single thing about who made the decision or why? That's not confirmation bias at all, and definitely not ignorant and prejudiced. Again, though another person chose to ignore that and focus on the one person who actually highlighted the reason the girl was asked to leave the class, and not because the school is run by Muslims(or whatever group your preconceived biases aligns you against) 

Another shining light of humanity you are eh. I get it, this website tends to have a lot, let's say, outcasts; people that feel anger at being left behind by society, and you want to take that anger out on someone. However, maybe just think for a second about where that anger is coming from, who is stoking it and what their objective is.
