LONDON: Protesters Storm Entrance Of Brunei-Owned Hotel Over New "Stone Gays To Death" Law

[Soph0571]

The BBC reports:

Brunei should be “chucked out” of the Commonwealth if it does not revoke its anti-LGBT laws, shadow foreign secretary Emily Thornberry has said.

Dozens of protesters chanted “shame on you” outside the Brunei-owned Dorchester hotel in London on Saturday. Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt said he had expressed “deep UK opposition” to the new laws to Brunei’s government.

But the Foreign Office said “threatening to kick countries out of the Commonwealth” was not the “best way” to encourage Brunei to uphold its human rights obligations.

1. "threatening to kick countries out of the Commonwealth" was not the "best way"

Why not? Seems like the best fucking way to me. I'm sure they get a lot of benefits from being a part of the Commonwealth.

2. Yeah, really. I agree with you. The current policy didn't work to stop this from happening, so...

kick them out. They are, I hope, certain standards to be in the British Commonwealth, and stoning people to death certainly should not be one of them. If anything, it should be grounds for immediate removal. Stoning people in today's environment...god, how inhuman and cruel, and how people will use the word of god to do such things to others.
