A soup with that weather sounds good idea, even if i am not a chicken fan, i imagine someone can use another type of meat for such a soup

Karl Popper wrote:Unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them.—In this formulation, I do not imply, for instance, that we should always suppress the utterance of intolerant philosophies; as long as we can counter them by rational argument and keep them in check by public opinion, suppression would certainly be most unwise. But we should claim the right to suppress them if necessary even by force; for it may easily turn out that they are not prepared to meet us on the level of rational argument, but begin by denouncing all argument; they may forbid their followers to listen to rational argument, because it is deceptive, and teach them to answer arguments by the use of their fists or pistols. We should therefore claim, in the name of tolerance, the right not to tolerate the intolerant.

Personally I find the likes of Trump, Farage, "Tommy Robinson" and their ilk to be racist twunts who are wholly unsuited to public positions of power. I do, however, support the right of them and their supporters to have a say. It is a necessary evil of a free society. The political extremes of both right and left only triumph if you stay quiet and let them crush you.
