how come we never heard from these gammon chops going on about two tier policing when stop and search actively went about targeting black people at a far higher rate than other races ?

I seem to remember them all being pro stop and search and thus pro two tier policing

Oh they've been going on about it since the early days of the EDL. They think Muslims get an easy time off police.

The number of times my friend Faraz has been pulled over compared to me would suggest otherwise. He has got a nicer motor than me though, that may be it.

Ever read Eric Schlosser's book Reefer Madness? It's old, but one of the pieces in it focused on the Strawberry trade in the US. 20yrs ago it was reliant on it, so not surprised by that report.

@JimmyJeffers does this count as a midi-flex? Don't trouble Joey the secret flexer with it.

Nah, I haven't read that, hence why I'm only at the midi rather than uber level.

It is textbook, we've seen it before, so no need to warn us thanks.
As for 'silencing', you were the only one to bring that up. It was pointed out her rhetoric could be taken as inflammatory and give support to those actually causing issues. It doesn't take much to inflame a situation as has been seen by headlines from der Mail and das Telegraf.

The fact you're trying to silence and shut me up says it all. People on here don't know when they're doing it

People do need warning. Seen already people on here on the left falling into the mindset of trying to silence people. It's a huge mistake

You take the wind out of Farage's sails by out debating him and giving a better alternative and showing people that

Can we ban twitter? It is nothing more than a hate platform these days.

I could see the platform being banned before long. Australia is already edging that way, and they're pissing off the EU too.

Chances he tries to sue for costing him a slice of his 'business'?

How hard can it be? Prove it has a hand in blood shed and boom it should be closed. If a pub/club has a violent incident it is often shut down or good. Very different I know but...

How's that going, then?

I thought we'd been doing that for the last 15 years, and he's only become more and more influential.

Fascism is not a legitimate political platform and should not be debated, only crushed.

Utter horse manure.

You ignore people like Farage, you wont "defeat" him with reason, cos hes unreasonable and will just keep shifting the goalposts.

The problem has been the platform he has been given, people like him WANT engagement, they WANT people to debate them cos it amplifies the hate.

Completely agree. Debating and engaging with the likes of Farage legitimises him and his abhorrent views.

Sounds like nothing is going on in town.

It's business as usual in our place down at Old Hall Street.

I imagine the rapid courts and imminent long sentences will have a big say in things now. People won't be quite so brave
