Who Amongst Us Would Be As Brave As This Admirable Woman?

[sp1814]

What a class act eh?

Me.

//against the shaven-headed leadership of the Nordic Resistance Movement//

Looking at her image, not a terribly diplomatic bit of journalism!

[sp1814]

I know...she's a bit Skunk Anansie.

[naomi24]

I googled that. Now I know.

[Old_Geezer]

Brave; but not particularly wise IMO. Still she got away with it ok.

[agchristie]

Sp > she's a bit Skunk Anansie.

Looking at the image is she performing from their album 'Black Traffic'?

[stuey]

I do hope that the so called social media doesn't equate this "iconic" photograph with the one taken of the man facing the tanks in Tiananmen Square. It's absolutes amazing how many "iconic" images are floating around nowadays.

[sp1814]

An even bigger problem is the fact that millions of people use the word 'iconic' without actually realising what what word 'iconic' means.

Major bugbear with me.

sp, you appear to have ignored me ... did you only want answers that say ... Oh no not me, what a courageous woman!

?

[stuey]

I mean like, literally, you're correct there, sp1814:)

Talbot - //sp, you appear to have ignored me ... did you only want answers that say ... Oh no not me, what a courageous woman! //

I suspect that sp knows, based on past experience, that you are playing devil's advocated here, so he has opted not to advance down that road.

I for one would not be that brave - I am pleased she was not beaten to death, or shot!

[-Talbot-]

I'm not playing devil's advocate. A question was asked and I gave a honest answer.

sp - //I know...she's a bit Skunk Anansie. //

But only a bit - this lady is very nice, Skin is an angel in human form!!!

[mushroom25]

Andy, Skin sold out (in my book) when she started judging the italian x factor.

[ToraToraTora]

it's is perhaps an invisible irony to SP and co but the rise of the far right has been caused by the ever more silly left.

[ummmm]

You really think that, TTT?

[ToraToraTora]

I know that

She'd have to do far worse than that to be denied to proverbial potato off my plate!!

[MallyJ]

Well done that woman.... isn't it so sad that no one moved to stand with her...I would like to think that, in those circumstances, I would. There needs to be more of her type out there.

[Baldric]

A brave Lady indeed, who most likely only got away with it because she was petite and female.
Would a big beefy guy have got away with it do you think?
