A simple Google:

barmpot. Noun. (plural barmpots) (northern England, informal, pejorative) Idiot; an objectionable and foolish person.

I know what right wing is.

I think the term right-wing is now challenged to encompass all extremism. I find it strangely at odds with itself that political and social commentators describe the so-called right wing IS as being the key factor fuelling the growth of right wing extremism, don't you? Besides that I don't recall seeing any serious political or social commentator describe them as being right wing; have you? I would be interested if you have.

How on earth does questioning how IS is pigeon-holed underestimate it? You do realise that is simply daft, don't you. If you think I underestimate IS then you need to think again.

As I said, yes there are examples of abuse, there was bound to be a spike, it's not good, it's not clever and it should and is being dealt with. It's also nothing new, unfortunately. I am simply not so sure it is as big as some folk are making it out to be; some out of ignorance, some out of deliberate manipulation.

By the way, you have no idea what reports I may have seen, although it would appear that I can Google better than most Barmpots! :emoticon-0105-wink:
Total Grade "A" ****in nutter.
 
what sort of problem?
I was just trying to help you understand something that seemed very simple

The simple fact is that the Chief Constable of Avon and Somerset Police wrote the letter to bring it to the public's attention.
 
That's a shocking amount tbf - and really isn't good. Especially when you consider that it is only reported cases, and like rape more racial attacks go unreported...


True dat bro. I doubt the abusive comments some bigot made about Yorkshiremen on this very thread will find its way onto the stats.

You seem to be having a funny little argument all of your own. It's kind of cute. Pointless, but cute.
There he goes the standard Dutch vacuous deflect post.

Attempt to patronise - check
Attempt to belittle - check
Attempt to avoid the obvious unpalletable reality that he's been made to look a complete **** again - check

You're as predictable as a Kopite in pre season.

No-one is hyping up anything

The increase in hate crime has been dramatic since the vote, it's a ****ing fact

You and others like you say you deplore the acts of racism on one breath, and on the next seem to want to lift the carpet and brush it straight underneath
.

The far right have seen the vote as giving them some form of validation, the previously fairly well hidden racists have decided that it's now open season. Shooting the messenger and challenging the fact that it's happening isn't the what should he happening here.
Not happening, Tobes. I've condemned it on here and said anybody responsible needs to be held accountable.

Then why criticise posters for merely bringing it up and accuse them of hyping up the issue?
 
I don't think we lacked a spine (that's Nigel propaganda) and think there was a better way to gradually exit the EU. I'm not pro EU, I'm pro a considered plan and a strategy. A lot of people are going to have a rough couple of years because there is no plan or strategy for Brexit.
I think we've put with too much for too long.
 
I thought that it was obvious that I was referring to policies for the UK going forward from the referendum. I don't see it in your link
The UK is going to leave the EU so their policies going forward are in the manifesto. The government will deal with how we leave the EU and our renewed dealings with the rest of the world
 
So what?

Is it not information that should concern?

Lift that carpet.....
We believe it's hyped and exaggerated by the remain camp. Not denying that attacks have gone up, not agreeing with any of it, either. It's wrong and doesn't do our/my aim, any good.
