Don’t mess with the tolerant people in Brighton.

Oh well folks this thread has served its purpose to make it clear just how many people are part of the community that reject violence snd division.

Unfortunately It was always going to be the case that detractors will try to push back on our delight at the reaction to the hard right thugs.

But they will never take away our knowledge that a huge majority in the U.K. completely reject the rioters.

What’s it matter Doodledog ? I heard this news and put it on the thread which meant posters who hadn’t heard about it learned it from me.
Others learned about it from you.
So what?

I couldn't care less. I was responding to the 'factual inaccuracy' that nobody 'from the left' had mentioned it because it involved a Labour man. We had, just not on that particular thread.

There has been so much distortion (which is what the article about Farage was pointing out), and it's tiresome.

oh give over. What he said is awful and so so wrong. ONE person, compared to 1000s of violent thugs, looting in the name of saving the country. He has been dealt with and arrested, and quite rightly so.

How you can even begin to compare, is such ridiculous nonsense.

Away and bile your heid

Get things in perspective

You need to change the record

All comments in reply to my concerns about a Labour councillor wanting to cut people’s throats.

On a thread about the tolerant peace loving left.

He's been arrested now...

So you’re Scottish Cadeby🤔
Why the rude response?
The events of this week were unbelievable but so was the behaviour of the Councillor calling for killings to a crowd in a packed street.

If anyone from Reform had said it the internet would have exploded.

A Labour councillor says it and suddenly everyone’s busy having dinner.

No. I was busy having dinner, after I'd posted on another thread and said that he had rightly been suspended and may face jail. I wasn't aware that the rules had changed to say that people should repeat their posts across several threads in case not everyone sees them.

That is exactly the sort of word twisting and mangling of the truth that people are complaining about.

Has it? But not on here where we are.

Yes, it has. Who is 'we'? Do you expect people to follow you around from thread to thread in case you've missed what they've had to say?

If is just untrue to say that nobody mentioned it. It was brought up some time ago. People just have other things to do than post the same things on multiple threads. I've been cooking and eating dinner since it was discussed, as I'm sure have others.

Playing Devils advocate, how many pages would there be about it, if a Reform councillor (if there are any?) said something similar?

No idea. Much would depend on who was around at the time, and what was posted about it, I suppose. If, as in this case, nobody was defending it, then fewer posts than if someone pretended that it was just harmless debate and someone 'just saying what others are scared to say.

It gets worse the more I think about it.

These riots started because 3 beautiful young girls were stabbed to death - and this Labour councillor wants his supporters to go out and cut people’s throats.

Unbelievable.

Don’t you get it? He wasn’t a numpty random in the crowd but a Labour Councillor whipping up incitement to murder.

Oreo has a point though, whilst it’s all being dealt with it must be ALL
No sides
No exceptions
It needs proper exploration as it’s so complex

That’s completely out of order, unforgivable

He’s a Labour Councillor who was ‘speechgiving’ in an inpromptu performance in Hoe St Walthamstow last night.
Calling for fascists , meaning far right protestors or anyone supporting them to have their throats cut.

I excepted this when I came in, a pile on, a few seizing the words of one disgusting counsellor who hopefully will be charged appropriately:

.... against the hundreds of rants on and offline made by the rioters and their puppet masters many thankfully arrested and hopefully imprisoned

......against the suffering of the families in Southport who not only had the murders in their community but the rioting mobs that night and have been trying to heal their community.

Get things in perspective.

Celebrate tolerance and call out intolerance wherever it occurs, but keep perspective.

I am an East Londoner JaneJudge that’s all am prepared to say.

I turn up and miss most the pages. Who wants throats cut 😵‍💫

This is a red herring.

We have a Labour councillor who has made an outrageous remark, and will in the course of time be held to judgement.

We have all remarked on it.

What is left to say.

But flogging a dead horse doesn’t detract from the point of this thread,

Which is to celebrate the fundamental goodness of the human spirit and the vast majority in which this resides.

He wasn’t just making a remark, he had either a mic or megaphone and it was a rent a rant situation to the crowds around him.

And the crowds were applauding him!

Are you in East London Oreo? Not combative just want to know your experience

That’s nice.

Cossy always posts what I believe to be true

We needn’t go on about it but it needs acknowledging that it wasn’t all peace and love in the East London protest.

Every single person I know would condemn his stupid and appalling remarks, and he should be ashamed and penalised, having said that Farage has indeed said far far worse whilst campaigning about the small boats!

No time for Farage but he has certainly not called for any throats to be cut.
