Why are the so called 'Antifascists' against those who oppose Muslim child grooming gangs and Islamic terrorism?

[retrocop]

Interesting to see the name of the author of that article. :-)

[Spicerack]

If you're against the opponents of Islamic extremism, you must support it.

Well spotted retrocop, say no more, :0)

Mr aog
In answer to your question. I think Mr Farage, a man I admire,would best distance himself from these groups if he wants to resurrect his stance on Brexit and make a serious impact.
I am not dismissing what the UKIP leader has said re Gerooming gangs. That is a matter of record and true but Nigel must show he is w***** than wh*** if he does not want the tarnish to rub off on him.

Muslim grooming gangs and Islamic extremism are completely difference subjects to Brexit, surely one can support Brexit and still strongly oppose the other two matters?

And why would Nigel Farage 'tarnish' himself for showing concern and opposing, Child Grooming gangs and Islamic extremists?

[anotheoldgit]

Whiter than white.

Just checking that it is now not against Site Rules, for future use.

[Spicerack]

Farage has always 'dodged' the Islam problem.

/// Farage has always 'dodged' the Islam problem. ///

No different to any other politician then?

[retrocop]

Mr aog
I appreciate the difference ,however, Mr Farage claims he will be mounting a robust campaign against the Brexit remainers shortly.
You must appreciate the amount of vitriole and much spleen venting on this site alone re Tommy Robinson and EDL even though the truth hurts the dissenters here.
Imagine how his image would be damaged if he showed solidarity to these groups. He is already unjustly villified for his non-existent racism so must protect his image on Brexit

[Spicerack]

Batten hasn't. Vote UKIP!

[retrocop]

Whiter than white.

"Just checking that it is now not against Site Rules, for future use."

One senior serving officer has been suspended from duty as you know for using that phrase.
This lowly retired officer is just protecting his tenure. :-)

He would have been better ignoring this protest rally altogether then.

Seems that accusations of racism and fascism, still manage to curb free speech.

[Old_Geezer]

Does UKIP support them, or is it simply personal support from Gerard Batten ? Farage can and does express his opinions. Anti-violence seems a good stand to take. And since this DFLA seems to be described as some kind of vigilante against a particular race/religion type group, they do sound very dodgy.

[retrocop]

Probably. That is the way it seems to be going. :-(

/// And since this DFLA seems to be described as some kind of vigilante against a particular race/religion type group, they do sound very dodgy. ///

"Vigilante" that is a little harsh, yes they may be accused of protesting about extreme acts carried out by a particular race/religion, but what is wrong with that if it is a particular race/religion that is committing them.

Who else seem to showing their concerns over these matters?

[Gromit]

Yep, he was right.

// A small group of around 50 people burst through a police line separating the two groups. One man swung his Union flag at a female police officer on a horse, hitting her arm.

She retaliated by drawing her baton, pointing at his enraged face. That didn't stop him - he came back for a second go, narrowly missing her.

He was one of the three arrests made that day. //

Why would a respectable political party want to be associated with such thuggery ?

[anotheoldgit]

Gromit
While I make no excuse for him if he did actually do as reported, but couldn't it had been due to uncalled for actions taken by the far-left that caused him to surge forward, given that he was carrying a huge flag on a pole, which then accidentally happened to get in the way of the officer on horseback, who knows we were not there.

// He was one of the three arrests made that day. //

Notice that it doesn't say, from what group did the other two belong.

[Spicerack]

It's always left wing groups, like Dope hot Soap, that start trouble and well you know it, gromit.

[youngmafbog]

'Lord' Farage made a good call here.

As pointed out above, no point in getting any of this linked to you when you about to launch a big offensive. The Libtards play dirty anyway no point in playing into their hands.

Its has not done a lot to promote UKIP, and has tarnished Farages Image, If it was Boris , he would throw a dead cat on the table now, something like calling for a second referendum. Just to get the media off his back
