@taniwharugby From what I understand it stemmed from one twitter complaint from someone with 100 followers...at some point politicians, media and corporations have to work out that the extremist hysterical folk on twitter aren't representative of the general populace.

Ignore the hyperbolic tweet description but the content is disturbing. Police admit he didn't commit a crime but they have been sent around to advise him that he is being watched with what he says online.
He filmed it in portrait mode , he’s literally Hitler

It alone deserves a follow up from the police.

For those who are interested it looks like we have a conclusion to the Nazi pug story.
Markus Meecham (aka Count Dankula) who was arrested for teaching his girlfriend's pug dog Nazi tricks in order to piss her off, will not be going to jail.
Although he refused to pay the £800.00 fine and was fully prepared to go to jail, the deadline passed and he even rang the police to remind them to arrest him. He was advised that he hadn't come up on their 'system' yet. Next thing you know £800.00 mysteriously disappears from his account thereby denying him his protest at the absolute absurdity of this whole situation.
Along with Sargon of Akkad He is now running as an MEP for UKIP in the upcoming European elections.

@Kirwan Yep that's his strategy. No matter what they say or do mainstream media is going to lie and misrepresent them so the best thing to do is abuse the crap outta them knowing it will get reported and rely that genuine people will do their own research.
-
Sargon and his team are absolutely killing it at the moment. They are running sit down debates with members of the public, including activist opposition, through various locations in the South West. Some really terrific chats and it doesn't take long to realise just how well thought out and reasonable he is. He's also dealing with the media terrifically, refusing to let them mis-characterise his beliefs knowing full well that is non-PC comments are going to get him air-time which he can then use to push his channel so others can understand his values and where possible actually push real issues.
He has literally hundreds of hours of video and right now there is no doubt dozens of journalists and activists going through these with a fine tooth comb looking for something to take out of context and try and crucify him with. They are too stupid to realise that this infamy is only going to make him more popular and further demolish trust in UK media when individuals see for themselves just how badly he is misrepresented.
Just wait until they find the video where he used the 'N' word...you can almost guarantee media will leave out the part about how it was in an argument with literal racist alt-righters where he was using their language to piss them off.

@Rembrandt the best thing Corbyn ever did was ask questions in parliament that were sent to him on twitter, even Cameron complimented him on it. Unfortunately normal transmission resumed but it was great to see them actually discussing peoples concerns and not trying to play gotcha for a change.
-
@Rembrandt "what's your definition of alt right?" He asked the interviewer. Of course she gave no coherent answer.
More of this would be good.
In his interviews with the public he framed a great question to a leftist woman, "I know what you're anti, but what do you actually stand for?"
She didn't know.
If you find someone anti this and anti that, ask them what they want, not what they're against. It seems to flummox them
-
@Siam he tried to get a definition of 'Far right' from sky news without much luck. Full audio here
I'm guessing the journo wasn't aware of the recording because she also made a 'hot take' video that is complete slander...technology really is screwing up these professional liers careers.
Comments were disabled once it became apparent viewers had seen through her bullshit

Well I’ve just got back from the UK today. The place is truly fucked.
Actually, not really. Everybody I talked to was sick to death of Brexit and couldn’t care less how it goes from here in, they just want it to stop dominating their lives and for the political classes to STFU. They also couldn’t be less interested in the EU elections. As usual people are just getting on with their lives and very few of them are worked up about pretty much anything everybody on here is interested in.
I still go twice a year and TBH most people don’t really do politics. They like to have a moan but most of them think that Labour and the Tories are as useless as each other, while the smaller parties are jokes.
BTW, still no sharia law in East London that I saw, nobody accosting anyone, unless you count the Brick Lane hawkers trying to tell you their curry house is better than Tayyabs, which is always untrue .

@JC How many times did you get stabbed?
Same number as usual.
I lived in the UK last time(s) they tried to do something about knife crime. Banned combat knives in the 90s. Banned knife sales to under 18s in the mid 2000s. Look how well that has worked. 🙄
