So not on any of the main news outlets?

you answered the question for me. Thank you

is a national paper and a national new channel not a main news outlet.

Considering you get half your shite from twitter those outlets should be seen as gospel

[Ring Of Steel]

again on the news? Actual news most people see

I haven’t seen anything on sky or bbc

it is indeed being reported, and he’s been suspended apparently.

 

[SBAndy]

This is the thing, there are people obsessively posting his tweets.

It's about the content of the tweets embedded, not the account.

I heavily agree on this point. Though given some of the accounts it should be fair game to explore the motivation a bit more.

 

[David O'Day]

A quick google and you can see the news on that councilor is all over the main stream media

Even the "lefty" BBC have reported it

I think maybe it’s just another example of GIMOC talking shite.

So if I am to then go through the accounts and their previous posting on social media where does it end?

I'd imagine we wont see him until another day

 

[David O'Day]

I think maybe it’s just another example of GIMOC talking shite.

Also his weird "two tier" labour party bollocks

He's been suspended, that under party rules is all they can do for know until due process has taken place,

 

[David O'Day]

i'm loving the anti racists aren't working class being "proved" by pictures of no white people

 

[Skybluekyle]

Just popped into this thread again to say how fantastic it was to see so many anti-fascist/anti-racist protestors came out last night. Great to see so many people peacefully stand up and say "not in my name, not on our streets".

Great to see!

again I mean on the news as in watching it

 

[Alan Dugdales Moustache]

This is the kind of thing I have been saying.

Other than Southport, how many mosques have gangs of neo nazis being out attacking?

As for knife, I haven't looked closely yet.

You've asked that question umpteen times , Nick, and still haven't had a response.

 

[David O'Day]

again I mean on the news as in watching it

That's the BBC live news feed, just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean it has not been reported.

Now why can't non white people be working class? You posted a load of black people as proof that anti racists aren't working class, why?

 

[Ring Of Steel]

again I mean on the news as in watching it

Makes sense, I can imagine a lot of people in your circles have trouble reading.

 

[Nick]

You've asked that question umpteen times , Nick, and still haven't had a response.

So people are saying over and over about nazis and far right people smashing up mosques but nobody can say where it's happened? (I know about the wall at southport).

Yet if somebody posts a video of gangs of people actually out on the street it's racist? (I did see some yesterday, I thought they looked a bit shady so didn't share them).

How about people post some videos of the organised far right gangs of neo nazis that were going to take over the country yesterday? Show them rampaging at mosques?

 

[Gynnsthetonic]

Will the councilor who travelled from Dartford to Central London be having his door smashed down or do you have to be draped in a Union Jack eating Shepherds Pie for that to happen?

 

[chiefdave]

again I mean on the news as in watching it

is this a new rule? we only count things as being reported by the media if we've personally seen it on TV?

 

[David O'Day]

It's even in the Guardian

 

[David O'Day]

Attacks people for not working while watching the TV during the afternoon.

The BBC local news today showed groups of anti racists from yesterday standing around being fairly law abiding, as you'd expect. Quite a lot were wearing masks and scarves to hide their identity . Why, I don't know. Fear or far right retribution at a later date I guess would be the response.

This is the thing.

I'm just saying show the gangs of militant far right neo nazis that everybody has been saying are coming. Where are all of the "fash"?

I don't doubt there have been racist cunts out causing trouble but all of the people so far really aren't that bright or organised enough to arrange thousands of people across the country. (that's not excusing them in the slightest, it saying they arent the militant "fash" that people keep banging on about turning up at mosques).

Again, it's like the COVID stuff all over again.

 

[GIMOC]

it’s a bit like a story being in a paper on page 20 with 30 words compared to main front page

I know full well

if this was 3 months ago. It would be main news against the tories and everyone would be in uproar saying Tory scum etc

If you didn’t Google said story would you see it straightaway?

 

[Northants Sky Blue]

I agree. anyone racist is a wrong’un and deserves all they get

Im sorry mate, you cant honestly believe that and post tweets by Barry Stanton and Ashlea Simon.

The first account is under police surveillance for race-hate and the second is co-leader of a neo-nazi party

 

[GIMOC]

as I said again

do I agree with shit they spout no

But they are the only ones showing it but apparently I can’t share it because it goes against the narrative

All we’ve seen on the news is how peaceful last night was

yet videos clearly show that wasn’t the case

 

[Ring Of Steel]

exactly. I reported GIMOC’s post linking them up. Talking about packs of black & brown people looking for white people to kill, call me ‘sensitive’ if you like but to me that has to be over a line.

 

[GIMOC]

I’m on nights this week. that ok for you?

ffs we’ve had a Labour councillor shouting for throats to be cut.

did you report that? Isn’t that sensitive for you?

 

[SBAndy]

So if I am to then go through the accounts and their previous posting on social media where does it end?

Think you’ve got the wrong end of the stick. I’m saying unless something overtly offensive from one of those accounts is posted in here there’s no need to act. However, you/me/others are then within their rights to highlight it’s a racist/propagandist account without the old “play the ball, not the man” argument.

FWIW I’m not overly fussed about banning/removing of stuff. I don’t have anyone on ignore.

what has been offensive?

Genuine question

That's you, that is. With , of course, a can of special brew.

I do get that but now things have been pointed out about the account so people can read and make up their own minds about it?

Most of the rioters were from the most deprived areas of the UK, probably not interested in politics and didnt even vote, they had nothing to lose anyway. But Sir Kier can now get his far right agenda over and bring in the Police State

 

[SBAndy]

Ironically that’s in the same post, so yes he did report it.

 

[SBAndy]

Yes, for me it’s exactly that.

 

[SBAndy]

Genuine question

From this exchange (i.e. last hour or so) nothing IMO.

I mean, apart from your offensive stupidity.
