The real problem caused by the main stream media labelling is that once they've labelled something as far right or white supremacist it starts to attract that crowd. I mean if you didn't know your history, you would never have guessed that the republican party in the US was an anti-slavery party and the democrats proslavery. In the UK the battle of cable street was the working class that was against antisemitism not the middle classes.

      Cable Street (1936)

   5,000  uniformed Blackshirts attempted to march in four columns into different immigrant communities in the East End(mostly refugees, Irish and Jewish).

   The British Union of Fascists  were initially protected by the Met. who upheld the Home Secretary's  decision to ignore the Jewish People's Council's 100 000 signed petition. 

    The anti fascist counter-demonstration numbering between 100 000  and 300 000 from all over the country and organised by Trade Union, Communists anarchists, British Jewish organizations, various Socialist parties and locals, amongst others, prevented the police from clearing the way for the fascists. 

    The police sent the fascists away to Hyde Park,  The fascists claiming  they were denied free speech. Support for the fascists actually increased.

I doubt it, the silence will be deafening 

They're probably not responding because they've had to go for therapy on account of them being so upset....

I guess you've got to hand it to the guy, in this case he'd probably be one of the first against the wall too!

 

Next level rightery. 🤣

 

Who's supposed to be upset?

Why? He looks fairly normal to me; peoples' appearances can be deceptive of course, which is why we shouldn't jump to conclusions based on them.
An exception might be when a particular individual deliberately sets up an appearance as part of their persona, such as "Eva Van Heusen" mentioned earlier. Daily Mail link

His existence is what upsets me, I wish it would stop.

The Good Lady was there just before this happened. She said it was very quiet and there was not much there .

As someone currently residing there, I have to agree with you.

 

We have a pier that's shut with no plan to ever reopen and lots of questions about the cost and quality of the work done on it just a few years ago, a dying town centre that's just a long line of cafe bars and charity shops, all the big stores have moved out and the buildings are just falling into ruin (see below) and an incompetent council squeezing every penny from visitors with parking charges and locals claim the town is just a cash cow to support run down Bootle.

That could be said about most towns and cities in the UK.

 

Obviously not addressing diversity and equality is the problem 😕 😕

There was a lovely big store,  Broadbents,  and Debenhams which had a cafe,  has Monsoon gone?

Down a side street a bookshop,  bought a 1st ed. P.G. Woodhouse there.

I remember a shop on the corner of Lord Street where I was bought socks,  smelt slightly of rubber on the pastel bands.
