fiction-factory to v_e. //It's others like you who like to keep grooming gangs on the agenda. //

Are you for real? Why would anyone want to forget grooming gangs?

I am for real. They should be on the agenda. But only in the right context. Might a swell raise it in Crosswords or Music. This was asking about his prison experience. That's why I suggested a new thread. But of course you know that really. You are just being awkward

[naomi24]

fiction-factory, this is the right context. Precisely the right context.

[fiction-factory]

Okay. Question asks about prison expereince so some answer about grooming gang. It's odd that V/E criticises an answer that answered the questionfor not covering what wasn't asked and them you join in to have a go at me for pointing that out. Fair enough if that's what you read into the question.
Okay, I'll leave you to it.

[naomi24]

fiction-factory, the reason he was subjected to such appalling abuse in prison is because his fellow inmates objected to his exposure of filthy grooming gangs and other unsavoury details relating to their abhorrent culture. You clearly find that simple truth unpalatable, but it is the truth and, in this instance, it is eminently relevant.

Nigel doesn't think this appointment is a good idea - though that doesn't necessarily mean it is a personal attack against T.R. https://order-order.com/2018/11/23/nigel-calls-ukip-leader-resign-tommy-robinson-appointment/

[spathiphyllum]

i think it also had something to do with starting a far right extremist group specifically targeting and exiling Muslims from prejudice opinions, but i mean.. who knows.

[spathiphyllum]

Nigel is a smart man. He understands you can't have this kind of extremism in politics or hysteria. Nigel is a well presented, collected man. Tommy is a crying little brat who can't help but shout and nearly tear up when he has a point

No it's not, it is also about his knowledge of grooming gangs as well as his knowledge of Prisons.

Read the Guardian report if you don't believe me and others.

"Nigel Farage has condemned Ukip’s decision to appoint the far-right activist Tommy Robinson"


Who would want a far right, potentially extremist in politics!?!?

//I'm not suited to this tiny keypad am I//

It's the hand God's dealt you. And, anyway, does size matter?

[naomi24]

spath, //Tommy is a crying little brat who can't help but shout and nearly tear up when he has a point //

Do you think he should have kept quiet?

I think Nigel is concerned because Tommy Robinson is portrayed as a pariah and understands how easily influenced the right on brigade are. Witness some of these responses.

[naomi24]

*and Nigel understands*

[spathiphyllum]

"Do you think he should have kept quiet? "


No, but there are specific ways to compile yourself and articulate. How he goes about it, is football hooligan pathetic school ground "my dad will batter yer dad" attitude. It's thugish and extremism. Not something to even take any where near to politics.

[ichkeria]

The fact that even Nigel Farage is opposed to Gerald Batten’s leadership shows how far they have fallen: at a time when they might conceivably have rallied in the polls, for them to becoming more like the BNP-lite that Mikey used to accuse them of being, must be very frustrating for him.

spath, what have you been watching?

[spathiphyllum]

the guy started a mass movement titled "English defence league" specifically against Muslim immigrants, if that's not fanaticism then what is?

[naomi24]

I'll ask again, spath. What have you been watching?

[spathiphyllum]

Am i wrong?
