Britain First

[HewManHeMan]

Ignoring all the political ideology, whatever you may think of their aims, the vast majority of Britain First supporters - that I know in person - scare me.

I wouldn't want to engage in conversation with any of them, as I know how the 'conversation' would likely end.

As a white, middle class man, the rising popularity of this group frightens me more than any religion or ethnicity.

Cant help but feel this undermines their point, somewhat?

Not sure if serious, but looking at your location (Swizzerland), I'm talking about these weirdos:

They're the latest reincarnation of the BUF/NF/BNP/EDL. Im not sure if they're growing as much as rebranding.

Good point, well made.

It was nice when the BNP went quiet!

Never heard of them. Don't know anybody who is part of them. Get better friends.

They're not my friends.

I hadn't heard of Britain Frst until I read your post. I've had a look at their website. They seem to be angry at white lefties, rather than different religons or ethnicities.

Why do they scare you?

That's their latest shtick. The majority of their campaigning is against the Islamification (I made that word up) of GREAT BRITAIN (fk yeah)

And because the supporters I know in person are aggressive, stupid and prone to violence when they run out of words (which often happens quickly)

Proof again that the right/left terms really don't work.

The 'ex' considered me Right Wing whilst PH's would probably consider me Left.

I think I'm in the middle, mostly Left but with some Right.

I think the Ex was a Hippy and PH's is UKIP headquarters...

One things for sure, BF do seem to be getting a lot of support for their manufactured articles (rarely any of which have any basis in reality).

Put in perspective, page likes and post likes are around 10x that of Pistonheads.

Yeah but nobody 'likes' PistonHeads, not even the people on PistonHeads.

Every thread is an argument.

So it's a social media/Facebook "famous" thing not a real world thing.

I do wish people would mention whether something is a real world thing or something for the social media retards to care about.

It may come as a surprise but the people that exist on Social Media also exist in the real world, too.

Also worth noting that the King of Britain First (whoever the fk he is) is running for the Mayor of London.

However, this is also kind of my point. BF and its followers (however you define them) get their knickers in a twist over entirely fabricated bullst, usually aimed to vilify Muslims.
And therein lies my point; it's the idiots who swallow their lies to the point of becoming angrily defensive of 'Britsh Values' that intimidate far more than the Muslim (or whoever) BF aim for.

And yes, these things do spill into real life. Often in a pub, after a few, where conversation can veer towards subjects that you should avoid after a few.

Thick as a whale omelette, like all his sort - though the jokes about "muslamic ray guns" seem to have dried up a bit, post-Rotherham.

Quite, play the ball not the man.

He might not be the sharpest tool, but as we all now know, what he and others were trying to emphasise was quashed by the PC system, to the cost of a great many victims.

I have little time for any flavour religion (the entire concept is floor to ceiling retarded - in fact, consider yourself even part of a football supporters club and my estimation of you falls through the floor quicker than Wile E. Coyote holding an acme ton) but the Muslamics aren't the only ones with Ray Guns. We could maybe go knocking on No'10 and ask the current residents what they know of such 'gangs'? Find a nice guest house and discuss it over tea?

All weaponry, Muslamic or whatever, should be destroyed by fire; I'd throw the fkers into the furnace myself.

But we cant single out one lot. The other's equally overlooked by all and sundry.

Off topic somewhat, I was chatting to a prison officer last night and he mentioned one certain religion looked to be taking over a lot of UK prisons... he didn't get a chance to elaborate but mentioned a kind of 'forced initiation' was commonplace. Certainly worth a Google.

Did anyone see this last night on BBC3?

I don't do facebook, are these people really that prevalent on there?

Yes, very much so. There's always an image being shared along with the old 'I'm not racist but...'.

[HewManHeMan]

I've just finished We Want Our Country Back and, fk me those people are nuts.

Just starting Is Britain Racist? I suspect it probably is! Hahaha.
