That binary narrative isn't helpful

You don't crush someone by excluding or silencing them. You crush them by being better than them in terms of your policies and presenting that to the electorate
It doesn't work. It hasn't been working for ages. Farage has had a bigger platform and been "debated" more than just about any other politician in the country. He appeals to emotion, not reason, so presenting better policies isn't going to win through.

Snakes like Farage know just the line to walk (most of the time) to seem quite reasonable ("just asking questions") and just stay out of trouble, while dogwhistling to those who are listening and acting all outraged when the fruits they sow come to ripen, by which time they've done their damage.


You want to subvert democracy, you don't get to partake in it.

We didn't used to allow these scum a platform and it worked just fine.

His party has a what, 5 seat minority, yet he’s always the one on the news when he speaks.

God I wish one of those foxes he hunts mauls him.
 

I was doing jury service and I was absolutely gobsmacked at the way the barrister defended the criminal.

I get letting them have an official representation of the law, but this guy was going to town justifying his his horrendous actions. I won’t name the case but yes it was something horrendous.

You do know that most Barristers have to go where the work is don`t you ?

Which means they both defend and prosecute.

He / she was only doing her job.
 
I've got family and friends being evacuated from work around the Passport Office because of this 'protest' later

Vile scum

That because of the area of the fact they're worried about them attacking the passport office?

Cos...you can add it to the list of clever behaviour to stop passports being processed.
 
Was thinking how could anyone feel comfortable representing him, but also remember a lot of people are happy to be the barristers for scum. Don’t get it.
According to his former employee, Lucy Brown, he received £10,000 monthly donations from Robert Shillman, who is a board member of the 'friends of the IDF' whether that's true or not I don't know, whatever way you look at it Lennons links to far right Israeli groups are rather concerning, they go right back to the early days of the EDL also.

Pam Gellar is the link, she's an American Jewish (Kahanist) extremist who was involved in the early days of the EDL. An absolute headbanger. She ran a US group called Stop the Islamisation of America.

I think she also had some connection to the Jewish Defence League, but can't honestly remember.

Not going into it but accusing the parents of someone who lost their child to a scumbag liars doesn’t sit right with me.
