Off Topic The Politics Thread

I have to say that I find it profoundly depressing that some on here who have no difficulty in finding right wing outrage to share with us seem unable or unwilling to declare themselves by answering Bob's question.

To be fair.....it’s up to the individual if they answer or not. Who are you or I to question their reasons.

Just saying

It adds weight to theory that the MSM and those in power would rather we fight amongst ourselves, instead of joining in unity.

Saying that I think I might of misread Daves original post. I assumed he was talking about the protests as a whole (including last weeks)

No, not the whole protest, just the group strutting through the park and being aggressive towards the picnicers.

Yes mate, noted.
On the other hand though, I wouldn’t of wanted to of been a bald, white fella (like me) who just happened to be walking through Waterloo station yesterday afternoon/evening.

I haven't answered but that's because you would have to be unbelievably thick to say not blm. Its an obvious answer and not worth the effort. Might as well ask would you rather be dead or alive. Now the few suicidal might answer dead but its a given everyone wants to be alive. I don't think anyone is a thick dumb racist on here to be answering to white far right groups

Was he just walking through? The video I saw didnt show how that started.

Dunno. Probably not. However I think my original point still stands

I imagine there one or two hidden away mate

Well that's alright then. She missed the opportunity to tell us all how it was the fault of the state that there are no public loos open or to explain why given his heroic civic cause to protect statues, he managed to get so pissed with no pubs open that he was unable to heed the cries of his fellow patriots who were telling him "No. Not there." I wonder if we had a variant of an 'eye for an eye' which would meet with general approval. 'Piss near a monument for a hero and you lose your willy.'

Most of those hatey bastards have only got a maggot. That's why they are so angry all the time.

Yeah but are they really going to put in writing that they are actually nazis

Name names Bob......I’ve met some proper paid up Nazis and fascists in my time.....and I’m pretty certain there ain’t any on here. Right wingers for sure.....racists, don’t buy it.

I was only teasing Ellers with the Abbot/racist thing

I mean there maybe 1 or 2 who would answer that they would choose to march with the far right group over the BLM movement

 

[bobmid]

Who knows? Enough dont mind being caught on tv so who knows mate. It sure explains why there is such thing as the BLM movement though

 

[bobmid]

Of course most sensible people with morals, values and respect wouldnt say they would march with the far right. Would be probably best just to keep silent

 

[Staines R's]

Ah ok.....but to generalise and say all the football lads who went yesterday were ‘far right’ is a bit of a red herring, imho. Of course there were elements there, like that **** Golding and his ilk...as well as the casual racists who are happy to use the word N***** as an insult. However they weren’t all ‘far right’ I’m sure.
A bit like saying all the BLM supporters were ‘far left’........I’m just trying to keep some kind of sensibility here and trying to avoid generalisation.

I can agree with that. I assumed that nobody on this thread would side with the cause of racism over that of BLM. It is as Bobby said an obvious answer. But it really was not a difficult question to answer. Strip out the violence on both sides which do you sympathise with. Given that hypothetical fact, there is no good reason for silence. That is not an issue of questioning their reasons but rather the fact that some would draw an inference from a refusal to answer. Which might be inaccurate and unfair.

But of course there is a reason for silence........because if someone WAS to take the other side it would be a case of the usual torch baring mob shouting ‘burn the witch’
As I said to Bob in previous answers, I felt the question was rather loaded...’Far Right’ v ‘BLM protesters’......it was easy for me to answer but let’s be honest, it’s far far more complex than that. Both sides have a point (and I don’t mean ‘far right’ as previously pointed out) and both sides are at fault for their actions.....
As I’ve said on previous occasions, unless we find some kind of middle ground, work out our differences and just try to ****ing get along......there is no hope.

I wish I had an answer

Not all blacks are criminals
Not all whites are racist
Not all coppers are bastards
