Another nail in UK democratic coffin ...

Post by LordBob » Wed Mar 07, 2018 7:27 pm

Britain First jailed for distributing leaflets that were considered ' racially aggravating they were telling the [people of Folkstone about the migrant rape gangs following the conviction of 4 men that took a young girl above a shop and each one raped the young girl 4 times. You get jailed for that. 14 years ago a policeman stopped myself and a few friends while we were posting leaflets and we were told to stop and go home or we might be arrested the leaflets said DO YOU KNOW WHERE YOU DAUGHTER IS DOES SHE TELL YOU SHE HAS BEEN TO PLACES YOU KNOW SHE CAN'T AFFORD HAS SHE GOT A NEW PHONE ARE OTHER ITEMS BEYOND HER BUDGET we were leafleting in Rotherham the rest is history. This country hates us.

Except that's not what they were doing. They were jailed for targetting people they believed were involved in an ongoing trial with racist leaflets, and also shouting racist abuse through takeaway windows and letterboxes.

You have to ask who said thats what they were doing they have been targeted because they say whats going on and that does not suit the system. Remember Griffin was on trial for a speech in Stoke when he sais THERE ARE YOUNG MUSLIM MEN AND WOMEN WHO HAVE BEEN BORN IN THIS COUNTRY THAT AIM TO KILL AND MAIM ENGLISH PEOPLE IN THE NAME OF ISLAM on the second day of the trial he was acquitted following the attack on the London transport system carried out by Muslims born in this country and still the pilloried him only in England.

I did just that. Google tells me it was the courts (ie the law of this land), based partially on the videos shown in court of them doing exactly what PJDM said they were doing. That’s good enough for me, but I presume you’d prefer to believe the racists’ version of events (am I allowed to call people convicted of hate crimes racist?)

From the BBC (emphasis mine)

“Both Fransen and Golding were convicted on a joint charge of religiously aggravated harassment after an incident last May at 555 Pizza takeaway in Ramsgate, when Fransen banged on the windows and doors of the shop and screamed "paedophile" and "foreigner".

However, in each case, they instead targeted innocent members of the public.

They filmed the abuse and then released it on social media and through the Britain First website.”

But of course you’re defending them. Who cares if the odd innocent gets harassed and publicly accused of being a paedophile? They’re only Muslims anyway.

Moffitt, I think this thread should show you just how easily you are taken in by whatever far-right extremist forums you use. Here are two people who were literally harassing innocent people, and have been convicted for it, and yet all you see are two heroes fighting against "migrant sex gangs".

What the **** has happened to you? I don't remember you being this far gone on ClaretsMad. I don't remember you being so full of hate and extremism at all on there. But now you're just a cretinous racist, and because i'm a lily-livered liberal who is destroying the country with compassion i'd like to understand what it is that happened to you. If i was a friend of yours having such a huge shift in your personality and political leanings would be a serious cause for concern. This might seem like a joke but have you had a brain scan in the last few years? I'm not joking. You used to be quite liberal, didn't you? Maybe your inner racist has been woken up by something in the last few years, or maybe you have a brain injury that has caused such a change in you.

Have a think about where you were politically 5 years ago, and where you are now. If you can draw a line connecting the two positions then you're probably just a racist. But if you can't explain to yourself what it is that changed you then you should see a doctor to get checked out.

I'm exactly the same. Claretmoffitt used to be funny, intelligent, thought-provoking, and occasionally wittily outlandish. Likeable even. I remember laughing at his answer to (I think) your post when you suggested it would be even worse if we left the EU: "Worse? How can it be worse? What are they going to do, put me one a -1h contract?" Deep down he always seemed decent. He's utterly dreadful now, I just hope he somehow climbs out of the dark well he's clearly fallen into. I doubt it's a brain tumor, but it's definitely a sharp warning to others tempted to go down the blind hatred route.

(If you read this Moffitt, I honestly don't mean you any harm. Please, please consider pressing the reset button. Stay off whatever sites you are reading, and start again. The world you inhabit at the moment looks like hell on earth from here, and I can't help but imagine you know this too. Acerbic though IT is, even he clearly had grudging respect for the old you. And that is a rarity.)

There are plenty of conditions that can cause a sharp personality change. Ironically I've developed a few weird sensory symptoms in my legs last couple of months too so who knows, maybe you're right Turtle.

More likely though that you've just totally overreacted to a half arsed troll post I'd say. I mean, it's not as though a lot has happened in 5 years to make my views towards certain religious groups and cultures waver a little is it? Not like we have had 3 major terror attacks in this country alone (one so bad I literally couldn't even comprehend it) and god even knows how many paedophile rings be exposed, is it? I mean how on earth could my views change after all that? Must just have some sort of neurodegenerative disorder or something, only possible explanation.

And it's not just muslims with you, you've become almost fanatical about anything far-right. So much so that when black NFL players silently and peacefully protested against police brutality you were peddling the far-right propaganda point that they were doing it to speak out against the far-right president of their country. You've been completely suckered into their fascism so much that at best you're an apologist for it, at worst a nazi just like them. So yes, i think it's perfectly reasonable to suggest that it's a possibility that it's caused by a medical condition. It's probably not, you've probably always been a weak-minded, closeted fascist waiting to be welcomed in by them. But what if you've not?
So I'm a weak minded, closet fascist Nazi with a brain tumour? Wow, that's quite a character. Might have to remember that one next time I'm at an icebreaker and get the old "tell us a little bit about yourself" thrown at me. Should wake a few people up :lol: :lol:

On a serious note though, do you not see the parallels at all in what you've just written about me regarding political allegiance pidgeonholing and propaganda?

It depends what you see as the endgame. Nobody and no community is ever above criticism but there are those associated with the groups that you seem to defend calling for pogroms and even civil war. This is serious stuff and it has the potential to take this country to places it has not been since the time of Oliver Cromwell. I personally don't think there's anything wrong with you but I'd be interested in what it would take for you to side with some if the 'liberals' on here.

I side with the liberals on lots of things.

- same sex marriage
- Gun control (although I have specific views regarding America)
- Nationalisation of certain industries is essential.
- I can see and enjoy the benefits of multiculturalism even if I have some reservations on its implementation.
- animal welfare and environmental protection is paramount to our societal wellbeing.
- Secularism is paramount in institutions.

To name but a few off the top of my head. I don't just blindly parrot the right wing media personalities like some on here would have you believe.

And that would presumably include my wife and kids. Maybe CM might hand out mere deportation for us as Clarets.

To be fair to CM, he did come back on and agree that detention was a bad idea.

Basically at least he got there in the end.

Let's see that quote to jog my memory. I can't imagine me suggesting people be put into concentration camps :lol: I think I know what you're talking about though, it was the 3000 registered and known people in this country who are described as a serious threat to the public was it not? And it was immediately after the worst terror attack this country has seen in my lifetime which I'll admit made me a little emotional and illogical for a few days afterwards wasn't it?

So not quite as simple as me just wanting to throw all the Muslims in gas camps like you say. No? Nothing like a bit of context.

And there isn't a just one reason why people have drifted to both the further left and the further right.

There is a whole host of them, and though everyone disagrees on the causes and how bad it might get, the fact that large sections of the community can't hope to get out of their current situation is the biggest factor.

And that is only going to get worse unless there is a pretty massive change to how those areas are helped. I know that some on here believe it will get better after you know what, but there are just as many who doubt that.

No need to apologise mate.

Hell, I wouldn't even ask for one off Turtle and he has said some pretty inflammatory stuff about me. I don't really get offended and stuff but some of that posted in there was a bit much like.

UTB really was a crap poster though. Didn't know he got banned to be honest but can't say I'm too fussed. I like controversial posters of all descriptions, but he really was just a nob.

Spot on. I prefer the ridicule from both sides for being a much derided 'centrist'. Naively, I once thought that the internet might round off the more extremist edges as wild far left/right views were toned down when faced with you know, facts, debate, reason.

But of course nobody's 'side' can ever be wrong today - just imagine the utter humiliation of that - so you filter out anything that doesn't fit your view because what could 'they' ever say that is worth thinking about anyway? To be fair, as tiresome as some find it, this forum's political aspect is at least one small place where some folk will be able to hear opposing views even if they have been fine-tuned to the point of lunacy by the time they get posted on here.
