You let them in. Now deal whit them. I have long scraped Britain from my travel list. Now it’s simply no go zone

Boring! There is no far-right threat in the UK. Stop trying to scare people with FakeNews - The 'far-right' consists of a handful of clowns. Look in the mirror - You people want to cancel a democratic vote, tin-pot dictator style...remind me, where's the threat again? UKIP

I need to stop following this account. Always point to division, but never point to basic precepts that could unite and promote sustainable & just society: We have shared right to set limits to humans' impacts on env't, and to benefit from natural wealth.

We need to stop these people. If nothing else their behaviour is criminal, let's use the law. Morally we need to ask ourselves why we are not standing up to the instigators who incite this. Spain eg have banned FR VOX from TV debates, Spain remembers the pain We should listen.

Do you think that guy has any idea how incredibly ridiculous he looks?

All og Europe is. In the 1970/80 it was far-left terror, today it is far-right’s turn. Liberalism, dialog, individual rights to all and openess are the only weapon we have to fight all forms of extremism.

It poses pain and destructiveness for generations to come. RIPNipseyHussle
