    There's no point, because you're a rampaging idiot, but:

    Hysterical to not want strange men loitering outside schools, ogling children

    *****philia is new and confined to scary immigrants? Stranger Danger was kicking around when I was a kid mate. Gary Glitter, Jimmy Savile and any number of Catholic priests in the 1950s would like their ideas back.

    Hysterical to not want London full of mobile phone thieves that cycle past and rob your phone as soon as you get it out
    Hysterical that you can no longer wear a nice watch in London without fear of someone taking it


    Yup, you're just ignoring the stuff about how violence, burglary and car crime has actually gone down significantly in the past 30 years. Because you're silly. You really are scared of the boogeyman under your bed aren't you? I thought you could bench 100kg?

    Hysterical that at any time, knife wielding men could target you.

    Yes, and you could walk in front of a bus, or a driver could have a heart attack and drive into you. The world is a dangerous place, but as a regular human being (ie, not a gang member) it's really not that bad. Or are you talking specifically about the Krays and East London in the late 1960s?

    Hysterical that wherever you look, there is dirt, litter, graffiti and a general malaise which continues to get worse and worse…

    Yes, that is hysterical. Absolutely. Because it's not true and you're making it up.

    Maybe you just don’t leave the house very much if you’re really blind to all that’s changed in the last 20 years.
    Or maybe you know what I say is the truth; but you’re not willing to admit it.

    Maybe *you* should leave the house and go to London, rather than just spouting nonsense. You might not get stabbed or robbed. Amazing, huh? You might recognise it still - it's the place with the big famous buildings. You clearly don't leave the house, or the cesspool of your damaged mind, or you'd realise that you're talking rubbish (not that you care, the truth and you aren't even passing acquaintances these days).

    I'd be happy to "admit" any time you are speaking the truth, as I have done on countless occasions. The trouble is, that 99% of the time you aren't, you're just parroting the utter tripe you read online.

    Get offline, read a paper occasionally, go and live your life outside. Please.

    For the millionth time as well, and I’ll do it in capitals.

    NOBODY IS SAYING THAT THERE IS NO PROBLEM CURRENTLY WITH UNCONTROLLED IMMIGRATION. EVERYONE WOULD LIKE TO SEE IT SORTED TO A MANAGEABLE LEVEL.

    I left my wallet on the train at Waterloo and it was returned to me with nothing missing. The only crime I have seen while living in London in the last ten years was racial abuse towards my non-white wife.

    'Ere, love, can you get rid of your hijab, please? I find it really disrespectful. While you're at it, put on about five stone, get sunburnt like a lobster, and wear a thong yanked up your arse. Ta, thanks. Oh and a tattoo that says 'angel' on your back. In Chinese.

    I am still in the massive volcanic eruption disaster scenario or being struck by a meteor, but alien invasion comes a close third.

    To know that would mean that he has to actually read beyond the headline that was posted on his far right forum, pay to go through the paywall and then realise that not all (or many in fact) of the ills of the country are to do with race.

    I'm still waiting for the areas of London that have fallen.

    Linking an article from right wing, much decried 'legacy media' a bit of a hoot.

    We all know that, I can't be arsed to take issue any more, very little little of what's posted stands up to even the most minimal scrutiny.

    ^^This

    Once I realised this and the fact how easy it is to show this, I too stopped being arsed and just see him for what he is.

    We need though to stand up to ignorant, racist bullies, so that is why I still respond. Now though I respond with ridicule, rather than annoyance.

    Suggested Edit. CAUTION: Anyone posting articles tomorrow WILL be treated with THE derision and ridicule THEY DESERVE. You have been warned.

    Well researched posts with links to verifiable sources will be given the respect they deserve.:1980_boogie_down:

    The thing is this particular forum used to be good for debate, for all viewpoints. Take the climate crisis theme currently going on. We don't all agree, but there is sensible debate with no sensationalism. It is what IMO this thread was designed for - different opinions and different viewpoints. No way will we all agree on everything. some will have common ground, some wont.

    The problem with having your resident far right poster on here is that the thread just disintegrates into nonsense. The funny thing is that apparently we are all 'Lefties, liberals, communists', so if we are, why post? I wouldn't post on a far right forum.

    Know your audience I say.
