Meanwhile, the SPLC, that bastion of conservatism, has indicated there is no evidence of white supremacist involvement in the riots.

I'm not sure if they are suggesting that; I haven't checked their website as of late. Bellingcat is viewed as independent and they have provided evidence that the far-right is involved. This doesn't meant that some antifa/anarchist pissants are not also involved--I'm certain they are (probably more anarchist than antifa, though). I'm just looking for evidence that antifa are systematically involved to the point where our president is tweeting about it. And I'm not finding that evidence.

I am going to give you the benefit of doubt on this for now - ie not knowing this is used as racist/white supremacist symbol or meaning it in that way.

That said - fair warning to all - for this thread, I see the "OK" hand gesture again, I will ban you.

Im not after a row Sis, but I use it all the time, I will not let racists take away my language.

I think its a bit harsh to ban people, many of which have no idea that racist scum have take it from them.

I know you wrote it in caps, but I stumpled upon this message, so I was quite lucky I saw it, others might not be as lucky.

Anyway, as I say, im not trying to be an arsehole, just that for most of us it still very much means OK.

UKIP were a fringe party mate with some questionable policies and members and the Tories aint much to shout about themselves.

Had the left/ Labour got their points across RE immigration and the EU in general rather than brand your average blue collar bloke with concerns terms such as racist, bigot and little englander then Labour certainly would have fared much better in recent years (especially had they peddled Cobyn much earlier than they did).

Us Englanders, and others on these fair islands had little idea neither mate. In Merica, its deffo bad news we have learned, and the poster was also unmasked in the classic GOT way (links to other sites), as a very very bad racist.

I cant recall one single example of a terrorist attack by "them". The UK has never had an ingrained culture of Black v White. Thats not to say we are a model of racial perfection as a nation, but more that there may be some loons using social media, that will never be mainstream.
