There are far left people in the UK with similar positions grounded in old 1968 rhetoric and ideology. People in countries closer to Russia tend to be more realistic.

I think this sentence explains what they mean: "Over the long term, it is more than plausible that within a few decades at the latest, certain NATO members will become majority non-European". By civilization and values they mean "white".

A message of peace and tolerance at Christmas? Sympathy for suffering innocent children? and those who have to flee their homes? What would Jesus think? I suspect he would highly approve!

It's "Christian" Nationalism with the weirdest takes on the stuff Jesus actually said. Sadly, it's influential in some English churches.

But it has, sensibly, not led you to have Nicola Sturgeon or any other member of the Scottish Nationalist Party... Words and acronyms can have many meanings.

That saying is really: you have nobody but yourself to blame for feeling the cold when you can't dress adequately. Stop Complaining!
