This is the reason why I subscribe to uk_politics even though I’m neither from nor in the UK and you politics doesn’t affect me much.

Thank you for the fantastic news reporting.

It… already started?

Your anecdotal experience doesn’t take into account weather the patients were divorced following the injury or if they were unmarried before the injury to begin with.

The study was looking into something totaly different.

Is this the only case of revoked citizenship for an IS fighter in Europe/the western world? Are there any others?

I am absolutely pro science. But in all earnestness, what is the use of such a study?

So you need serious scientists to spend time, resources and money on a scientific study so you can tell cat haters “Gotcha. I told you so!”??

I just always wonder what we gain scientifically with these kind of studies. Why do we need to prove this? Aren’t there any more important issues these scientists could use their time and money on?

I’m asking in all earnestness. What is the benefit of this knowlege?

Of course they do. Did we really need a study for that?

The attacks on him and his office were public knowledge and in the news for years. Only the extend of hate mail and threats they held back and took to the public now.

The poster left out an important part of the article

Diaby said the racist slurs and death threats were “not the main reasons” for his decision, having frequently emphasised he would not be cowed by threats. But they are widely believed they have played a part.

Diaby proved over the last 11 years that he will not be silenced by hatred and violence. Lesser people would have given up a long time ago. Maybe 2020 when someone shoot up his offices or when they put it on fire… Dealing with this kind of hate and threat on a daily base must be so draining and exhausting. He is 62 now and his wish to spend more time as a private person with the people important to him is a valid one.

Nevertheless is this a loss for Germany and our democracy and unfortunately a win for the fascists of the AfD.
