So, the fascists turned up outside of the targeted building, and as far as I can see the road is full of the tolerant folk who are as someone said are really tolerant of tolerance, and very intolerant of intolerance.

I've no idea if it's true, but the word here in Brighton is that the fascists were met off the trains by drag queens and a samba band.

You don't have to be an idiot to bring white supremacy to the most welcoming and inclusive city in the country, but it sure helps

After reading all the comments here about missing posters I contacted GN to ask about rules as members are unsure about if they can say anything.The message back is that yes you can talk about them as long as all in the spirit of GN and there are no personal attacks on them.
So there you have it.😃

I don't recall GSM making personal attacks.. ever

It isn’t about what the missing poster did or didn’t do, it’s about present members not making personal attacks about the missing poster.

Hearts and minds are won by dialogue, in communities, not attempts to smear and tar all Muslims with the same brush.

Although most UK citizens as a whole are more tolerant, homophobia has not disappeared.

That is why we have asylum seekers coming here from their Muslim countries.

No, she never did, as far as I remember.

She was frequently attacked but stood her ground.
Perhaps that made her unpopular with some?

There were one or two new hmm posters who took umbrage at something she said then wouldn't let it go.
They seem to have disappeared again.

Eats, shoots and leaves.

That is not relevant - it is our attitudes that matter in this situation.

It was wonderful to see the tolerant people of Brighton protest peacefully against the right wing thugs.

Just wonder if some of those Moslem countries had the same tolerance to gay people, and maybe in this country too.

It wasn't admin who jumped on me, it was other members, petra

*he will get the full force of the law on him quite rightly*

Has he been sentenced and jailed within days? Will his sentencing be broadcast live on air?
If not, why not? because that’s what’s happened to the rioters.
Maybe I’ve missed his live on air sentencing - happy for someone to link it to me.

violent people need to be treated the same.

He was arrested and charged within hours, and remanded in custody ahead of a court hearing on August 9th.

At that, he refused to enter a plea, so has been remanded again until September 6th. He has not been sentenced because, as has been explained, someone can only be sentenced once they are proved guilty - quickly by their own admission, slowly by the underfunded and depleted legal system if they do not - but he is still be held in custody.

It’s all been widely reported. No idea if was shown live anywhere, but then I’d no idea any other cases had been.

Speaking as your ordinary leftie not happy clap but thoughtful I am disgusted by that Labour councillors remarks and he will get the full force of the law on him quite rightly.

However we have been swamped with hatred and slogans both on SM and in the chants of rioters last week, equally, horribly, nasty, planning, and I think a sense of perspective is useful.

Jenn53 Sat 10-Aug-24 11:28:24

Well said "Whitewavemark2"! Agree with you 100%
