I can't even see how that would work given that, as I understand it, it's more a collective name people and groups work under.

I didn't think you could send off a tenner and join Antifa for example.

No idea to be honest, though annoying they seemed harmless to me, just noticed a post on Facebook saying it is being considered.

They definitely have some scumbags.

But trying to ban them as a group seems a bit like nailing a jelly to the wall from what I understand of it.

Be careful with linking to The Independent by the way.

People will start to think you're a leftie commie pinko.

Obviously not, as the vast majority of anti-fascists (ie: normal people) aren't members of Antifa.

Where is the dividing line between anti-fascists and "antifa" ?

Had a belter from my mate upon seeing a few union flags at Ascot Saturday

"I didn't realise it was that sort of place"

So I said, "What in Britain, or the Queen's racecourse?"

I'll just add this to the list of absurd things said by supposedly intelligent friends/ partners/ colleagues in the name of liberalism which I've previously catalogued here, or in other threads, to the disbelief of members who cried 'troll' because the left seemingly don't like views they disagree with, or hearing about the ignorance and intolerance of their comrades.

Similar to "There were a lot of St George's flags" which was a middle class girl's review of a Working Man's Club my boss apparently overheard in the lift.

What did he mean by "that sort of place"?

Did he think it was some kind of BNP/EDL rally?

Or, worse, that you support the real scumbags.

People whose websites auto-play videos.

All rather trivial compared with murdering right-wingers though?

Cool story, but it's one in the name of you having dim mates rather than anything else

The Red Army Faction which was dissolved 21 years ago? Interestingly that link tells me that founding member Horst Mahler is now a vocal neo-Nazi and Holocaust denier.
